Inspired by the isothermal enzymatic process of rolling circle amplification (RCA) of DNA strands, we have developed a system to achieve more than a 200-fold increase in the synthesis of DNA nanostructures using a single-stranded circular DNA template. The amplified DNA nanostructures have shown efficient delivery of folic acid (FA) conjugated siRNAs into KB cells with a dose dependent gene silencing.
受DNA链滚环扩增(RCA)等温酶促过程的启发,我们开发了一种系统,该系统使用单链环状DNA模板,可使DNA纳米结构的合成增加200倍以上。扩增后的DNA纳米结构已显示出将叶酸(FA)偶联的小干扰RNA(siRNA)有效递送至KB细胞,并具有剂量依赖性的基因沉默作用。
