With the emergence of DNA nanotechnology in the 1980s, self-assembled DNA nanostructures have attracted considerable attention worldwide due to their inherent biocompatibility, unsurpassed programmability, and versatile functions. Especially promising nanostructures are tetrahedral framework nucleic acids (tFNAs), first proposed by Turberfield with the use of a one-step annealing approach. Benefiting from their various merits, such as simple synthesis, high reproducibility, structural stability, cellular internalization, tissue permeability, and editable functionality, tFNAs have been widely applied in the biomedical field as three-dimensional DNA nanomaterials. Surprisingly, tFNAs exhibit positive effects on cellular biological behaviors and tissue regeneration, which may be used to treat inflammatory and degenerative diseases. According to their intended application and carrying capacity, tFNAs could carry functional nucleic acids or therapeutic molecules through extended sequences, sticky-end hybridization, intercalation, and encapsulation based on the Watson and Crick principle. Additionally, dynamic tFNAs also have potential applications in controlled and targeted therapies. This review summarized the latest progress in pure/modified/dynamic tFNAs and demonstrated their regenerative medicine applications. These applications include promoting the regeneration of the bone, cartilage, nerve, skin, vasculature, or muscle and treating diseases such as bone defects, neurological disorders, joint-related inflammatory diseases, periodontitis, and immune diseases.
随着 20 世纪 80 年代 DNA 纳米技术的出现,自组装 DNA 纳米结构由于其固有的生物相容性、无与伦比的可编程性和多功能性而引起了全世界的广泛关注。四面体框架核酸(tFNA)是特别有前途的纳米结构,它是由 Turberfield 首次提出的,使用一步退火方法。由于其具有简单的合成、高重复性、结构稳定性、细胞内化、组织通透性和可编辑功能等优点,tFNA 已被广泛应用于生物医学领域作为三维 DNA 纳米材料。令人惊讶的是,tFNA 对细胞生物行为和组织再生有积极的影响,这可能用于治疗炎症和退行性疾病。根据其预期的应用和承载能力,tFNA 可以通过扩展序列、粘性末端杂交、嵌入和基于 Watson 和 Crick 原理的封装来携带功能性核酸或治疗分子。此外,动态 tFNA 也有可能在控制和靶向治疗中得到应用。本综述总结了纯/修饰/动态 tFNA 的最新进展,并展示了它们在再生医学中的应用。这些应用包括促进骨骼、软骨、神经、皮肤、血管或肌肉的再生,并治疗骨缺损、神经紊乱、关节相关炎症性疾病、牙周炎和免疫性疾病等疾病。
