Polyvalent oligonucleotide gold nanoparticle conjugates as delivery vehicles for platinum(IV) warheads.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Amine-functionalized polyvalent oligonucleotide gold nanoparticles (DNA-Au NPs) were derivatized with a cisplatin prodrug, and the resulting DNA-Au NP conjugates were used to internalize multiple platinum centers. A platinum(IV) complex, c,c,t-[Pt(NH(3))(2)Cl(2)(OH)(O(2)CCH(2)CH(2)CO(2)H)], was tethered to the surface of DNA-Au NPs through amide linkages. The platinum-tethered gold nanoparticles were taken into several cancer cells. The drop in intracellular pH facilitated reductive release of cisplatin from the prodrug, which then formed 1,2-d(GpG) intrastrand cross-links in the cell nuclei, as confirmed by an antibody specific for this adduct. The cytotoxicity of the platinum(IV) complex increases significantly in several cancer cell lines when the complex is attached to the surface of the DNA-Au NPs and in some instances exceeds that of cisplatin.

Use of non-biological agents for mRNA delivery into living systems in order to induce heterologous expression of functional proteins may provide more advantages than the use of DNA and/or biological vectors for delivery. However, the low efficiency of mRNA delivery into live animals, using non-biological systems, has hampered the use of mRNA as a therapeutic molecule. Here, we show that gold na...
