MicroRNAs in tumor cells

DNA logic nanomachine for the accurate identification of multiple microRNAs in tumor cells


The use of dynamic DNA logic circuits for disease diagnosis at the molecular level plays a considerable role in biomedical fields. Nevertheless, how to create programmable nanomachines based on molecular logical gates to accurately identify multiple biomarkers from tumor cells remains a pivotal challenge. Herein, we developed a DNA-based nanomachine for analyzing and imaging multiple microRNAs (miRNAs) in cancerous cells with a logical AND operation. The triangular prism design of DNA nanomachine improved its performance in living cell research with high stability and served as a modularized framework for toehold-mediated strand displacement reactions and catalytic hairpin assembly circuits.

The results suggested that the nanomachine could efficiently enter cells with great biocompatibility and rapidly recognize the correct biomolecules with high sensitivity. The well-designed DNA-logic gate nanomachine enabled accurate diagnosis on multiple miRNA patterns in different cell lines and differentiation of aberrant expression in target cells, which provided a novel possibility for intelligent disease diagnosis using smart nanomachines at the molecular level.

Chemicals and materials


The sequences of synthesized oligonucleotides are listed in Table S1, the reagents and materials in the experiments are described in the Supplementary Material.

DNA prism probe was prepared through adding equimolar nucleic acid strands of S1, S2, S3, H1-T, H2-T/H2-T-FQ, Capture-T, Trigger, Apt-1, Apt-2 and Apt-3 in 1 × TAE-Mg2+ buffer (40 mM Tris buffer, 1 mM EDTA, 12.5 mM MgAc2, pH 8.0) to the final concentration of 1 μM. The mixture was then subjected to a thermal annealing process (Table S2)

The working principle of self-assembled DNA nanomachines for simultaneous identification and imaging of multi-miRNAs is exhibited in Scheme 1. Initially, the 3D DNA nanomachine was one-pot self-assembled from ten nucleic acid strands, of which three long strands (S1, S2, S3) for assembling the triangular prism framework, two strands (Capture-T and Trigger) for synthesizing an “Anchor” domain to identify target miRNAs, two hairpin strands (H1-T and H2-T) as CHA substrate strands, and three.

In this work, DNA-logic gate nanomachines activated by multi-target miRNAs within cells were successfully designed using a DNA triangular prism as the nano-vehicle and the CHA cascade circuit as a signal amplifier. After internalization, DNA nanomachines made logical responses and the Trigger strand could be efficiently released via TMSD in the presence of miRNA-21, miRNA-155, and miRNA-10b simultaneously. Whereafter, CHA was activated by dissociative Trigger strand to generate amplified.

Genetics role in ovarian cancer

The Medical Minute: Genetics play big role in ovarian cancer In 2024, about 19,680 women in the United States will receive a new diagnosis of ovarian cancer and 12,740 women will die from the disease, said Dr. Shaina Bruce , a gynecologic oncologist at Penn State Cancer Institute . The median age of all patients who develop ovarian cancer is 63. Historically, women at increased risk for ovarian cancer are recommended to have their fallopian tubes and ovaries removed when they have completed having children. Taking that step to protect themselves comes at a heavy price ― surgical menopause. But Bruce said medical science is catching up with ovarian cancer. Studies could lead to new methods for preventative care and the surgery needed to lower risk may be easier than it once was. Below, during Gynecologic Cancer Awareness Month, Bruce discusses the disease and why acting to reduce your risk is worth it. What’s the connection between heredity and ovarian cancer? About 25% of all cases of ...

Multifactorial Genetic Conditions

Multifactorial Genetic Conditions Multifactorial genetic conditions are disorders caused by the combined effects of multiple genes and environmental factors , rather than a single gene mutation . These conditions do not follow classic Mendelian inheritance patterns and instead result from complex gene–environment interactions . Factors such as lifestyle, nutrition, infections, stress, and exposure to toxins can significantly influence disease onset and severity in genetically susceptible individuals. Common examples include diabetes, cardiovascular diseases , neural tube defects, asthma, and many neuropsychiatric disorders. Understanding multifactorial inheritance is essential for risk prediction, preventive medicine, and personalized healthcare strategies. Multifactorial inheritance, polygenic traits, gene–environment interaction, complex diseases, genetic susceptibility, environmental risk factors, non-Mendelian inheritance, disease predisposition, polygenic risk score, precision ...

X chromosome

Gene on the X chromosome may help explain high multiple sclerosis rates in women Brain inflammation may be fueled by a gene on the X chromosome, a new study in mice suggests. And in female mice, who carry two X chromosomes, a diabetes drug called metformin may work to counteract that inflammation. If these findings bear out in later studies, they could help to unravel the long-standing mystery of why women, who have two copies of this inflammation-driving gene, are more prone to certain autoimmune diseases, particularly after menopause. A disparity between the sexes Our bodies are patrolled by immune cells that provide protection against bacteria and viruses, but sometimes, these defenses turn on us. In the autoimmune disorder multiple sclerosis (MS), for instance, the immune system attacks myelin, the fatty insulation surrounding the nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord. This leads to symptoms such as muscle weakness and difficulty walking, as well issues with memory and thinking...
