Nucleoside analogues are a class of traditional chemotherapeutic drugs that are widely applied in adjuvant therapy. However, there are many critical issues that limit their clinical efficiency, including poor selectivity and stability, severe side effects and suboptimal therapeutic efficacy. Hence, this work aims to develop a new DNA nanocarrier for targeted drug delivery to solve the above problems.Methods: Four 41-mer DNA strands were synthesized and 10 FUdR molecules were attached to 5ʹ end of each DNA strand by DNA solid-phase synthesis. An affibody molecule was connected to the end of polymeric FUdR through a linker in one of the four strands. The affibody-FUdR-tetrahedral DNA nanostructures (affi-F/TDNs) were self-assembled through four DNA strands, in which one vertex was connected to an affibody at the end of a polymeric FUdR tail and three vertices were only polymeric FUdR tails. In vitro cellular uptake of affi-F/TDNs was examined visually with confocal fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry, and the cytotoxicity of affi-F/TDNs against cancer cells was investigated with MTT assay. Cell apoptosis was detected by Annexin V-FITC/PI double staining method. Using NOD/SCID (Mus Musculus) mice model, the targeted killing efficacy of affi-F/TDNs was also evaluated.Results: The drug-loading of FUdR in affi-TDNs was 19.6% in mole ratio. The in vitro results showed that affi-F/TDNs had high selectivity and inhibition (81.2%) for breast cancer BT474 cells overexpressing HER2 and low toxicity in MCF-7 cells with low HER2 expression. During the in vivo application, affi-F/TDNs displayed good stability in the blood circulation, achieved specific accumulation in tumor region and the best antitumor efficacy (inhibition ratio of 58.1%), and showed excellent biocompatibility.Conclusions: The affibody-DNA tetrahedrons, as a simple and effective active targeting delivery nanocarrier, provided a new avenue for the transport of nucleoside antitumor drugs.Keywords: 5-fluorodeoxyuridine, targeting therapy, her2, breast cancer, affibody, DNA nanoparticleZhang CHan MZhang FYang XDu JZhang HLi WChen SDove Medical Pressarticle5-fluorodeoxyuridinetargeting therapyher2breast canceraffibodydna nanoparticleMedicine (General)R5-920ENInternational Journal of Nanomedicine, Vol Volume 15, Pp 885-900 (2020)
