摘要
The interactions of cells with signaling molecules present in their local microenvironment maintain cell proliferation, differentiation, and spatial organization, and mediate progression of diseases such as metabolic disorders and cancer. Real-time monitoring of the interactions between cells and their extracellular ligands in a 3-D microenvironment can inform detection and understanding of cell processes and development of effective therapeutic agents. DNA-origami technology allows for the design and fabrication of biocompatible and 3-D functional nanodevices via molecular self-assembly for various applications including molecular sensing. Here, we report a robust method to monitor live cell interactions with molecules in their surrounding environment in a 3-D tissue model using a microfluidic device. We used a DNA origami Cell Sensing Platform (CSP) to detect two specific nucleic acid sequences on the membrane of B cells and dendritic cells. We further demonstrated real-time detection of biomolecules with the DNA sensing platform on the surface of dendritic cells in a 3-D microfluidic tissue model. Our results establish the integration of live cells with membranes engineered with DNA nanodevices into microfluidic chips as a highly capable biosensor approach to investigate subcellular interactions in physiologically relevant 3-D environments under controlled biomolecular transport. ### Competing Interest Statement The authors have declared no competing interest.
