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.

Chromosomal Abnormalities

  Chromosomal Abnormalities Chromosome abnormalities refer to structural or numerical changes in chromosomes that can disrupt normal genetic function, leading to developmental disorders, congenital abnormalities, and various genetic diseases. These abnormalities may arise from errors in cell division, such as nondisjunction or chromosomal breakage, resulting in conditions like Down syndrome , Turner syndrome, Klinefelter syndrome , and various deletion or duplication syndromes. Understanding chromosome abnormalities is essential for genetic counseling, prenatal diagnosis, disease risk assessment, and research in cytogenetics and molecular genetics.

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 ...

Human Brain Organoids

Human Brain Organoids Model Abnormal Prenatal Neural Development Induced by Thermal Stimulation The developing human foetal brain is sensitive to thermal stimulation during pregnancy. However, the mechanisms by which heat exposure affects human foetal brain development remain unclear, largely due to the lack of appropriate research models for studying thermal stimulation. To address this, we have developed a periodic heating model based on brain organoids derived from human pluripotent stem cells. The model recapitulated neurodevelopmental disruptions under prenatal heat exposure at the early stages, providing a paradigm for studying the altered neurodevelopment under environmental stimulation. Our study found that periodic heat exposure led to decreased size and impaired neural tube development in the brain organoids. Bulk RNA-seq analysis revealed that the abnormal WNT signalling pathway and the reduction of G2/M progenitor cells might be involved in heat stimulation. Further investi...
