Defined Positive Charge Patterns Created on DNA Nanostructures Determine Cellular Uptake Efficiency.
Nano letters(2022)
摘要
We provide an effective method to create DNA nanostructures below 100 nm with defined charge patterns and explore whether the density and location of charges affect the cellular uptake efficiency of nanoparticles (NPs). To avoid spontaneous charge neutralization, the negatively charged polymer nanopatterns were first created by in situ polymerization using photoresponsive monomers on DNA origami. Subsequent irradiation generated positive charges on the immobilized polymers, achieving precise positively charged patterns on the negatively charged DNA surface. Via this method, we have discovered that the positive charges located on the edges of nanostructures facilitate more efficient cellular uptake in comparison to the central counterparts. In addition, the high-density positive charge decoration could also enhance particle penetration into 3D multicellular spheroids. This strategy paves a new way to construct elaborate charge-separated substructures on NP surfaces and holds great promise for a deeper understanding of the influence between the surface charge distribution and nano-bio interactions.
