Embodiment 1

[0020] Synthesis of functionalized DNA tetrahedra

[0021] Dilute DNA strands A, B, C and D in TM buffer (10mM Tris-HCl, 50mM MgCl 2 , pH 8.0) in a medium molar mix to a final concentration of 10 μM. After mixing the DNA, heat it to 95°C and then rapidly cool it to 4°C to obtain a DNA tetrahedral solution containing aptamers. Formation of DNA tetrahedral nanostructures can be verified by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (see figure 1 ).

Embodiment 3

[0029] Phase transition of rare earth upconverting luminescent nanoparticles dispersed in cyclohexane

[0030] Slowly add 0.2 mL cyclohexane solution containing 100 μg / mL rare earth up-conversion luminescent nanoparticles to 0.2 mL aqueous solution containing 10 μM DNA tetrahedron. When the aqueous layer is reached, transfer the aqueous layer solution to a microtube. After the excess DNA tetrahedron is separated and washed by centrifugation, it is removed from the aqueous solution of the hydrophilic rare earth up-conversion luminescent nanoparticles. Finally, the hydrophilic rare earth up-conversion luminescent nanoparticles are redispersed in TM buffer solution to obtain the rare earth up-conversion luminescent nanoparticles dispersed in the aqueous solution.

Abstract

Hydrophobic nanoparticles have great potential in biological analysis and biomedical application. The invention provides a simple method; a DNA nanostructure is used as a phase transition reagent; the DNA nanostructure is a DNA tetrahedral structure formed by self-assembly of four single-stranded DNAs, tail ends of three single-stranded DNAs of the four single-stranded DNAs are modified by carboxyl, the other one single-stranded DNA contains an aptamer, and the aptamer can be specifically combined with highly expressed nucleolin on a cancer cell membrane surface, so that the targeting ability of the nanoparticles is increased and the cell uptake ability is improved. The DNA tetrahedron as the phase transition reagent is non-toxic and convenient and only requires simple separation, and the high-stability and good-dispersion hydrophilic nanoparticles can be prepared.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the fields of biological analysis and biomedical application, and in particular relates to synthesizing a DNA nanostructure containing an aptamer and using the DNA nanostructure for phase conversion of hydrophobic nanoparticle. Background technique [0002] Hydrophobic nanoparticles have special physical and chemical properties. With the development of nanoscience and technology, their potential application value in biomedicine has attracted the attention of researchers in various related fields, such as biosensing, cell imaging and cancer. treatment etc. The high magnetic susceptibility, chemical stability, and low toxicity of iron oxide nanoparticles have been intensively studied, and these properties make it useful not only as a magnetic resonance imaging T 2 Contrast agents are also widely used in drug delivery, cell tracking, and magnetic hyperthermia. [0003] At present, commercial nanoparticles are usually synthesize...
