Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most prevalent type of cancer, characterized by a relatively slow growth rate and propensity toward distant metastases following local spread. These factors present significant challenges in both diagnosis treatment NSCLC, particularly for early stage NSCLC. In this study, based on self-assembled functionalized tetrahedral DNA nanostructure (TDN), multifunctional drug delivery system has been constructed NSCLC adenocarcinoma line A549 (A549 cells) to achieve intracellular imaging combined delivery. The TDN was vitro four vertices were with Cy5, s6 aptamer, p28 cell-penetrating peptide siRNA, respectively. Subsequently, daunorubicin (DAU) loaded obtain DAU@TDN-p28-s6-siRNA through intercalation double-stranded DNA. While Cy5 employed tracking imaging, aptamer used target cells enrich around cells, can facilitate entrance into via endocytosis. Once taken inside cell, modified siRNA bind mRNA guiding translation ERBB3 protein down-regulate its expression, ultimately leading inhibition growth. Simultaneously, targeted delivery, DAU accurately inhibits tumor activity, thus achieving synergy inhibit cells. experiments have demonstrated that compared control, reduces expression 71.27%, viability 37.84%, as well exhibits high targeting specificity. Therefore, development assemblies provides an efficient way potential biomedical field.

Retinal neovascular disease is a leading cause of vision loss and blindness globally. It occurs when abnormal new blood vessels form in the retina. In this study, we utilized tetrahedral framework nucleic acids (tFNAs) as vehicles to load quercetin (QUE), small-molecule flavonoid, forming deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) nanocomplex, tFNAs-QUE. Our data show nanocomplex inhibits pathological neovascularization, reduces area retinal nonperfusion area, protects neurons, preserves visual function. Further, discovered that tFNAs-QUE selectively upregulates AKT/Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway, which can suppress vascular growth exert antioxidative effects. Therefore, study presents promising small-molecule-loading mechanism for treatment ischemic diseases.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic and irreversible lung disease, developing an effective treatment remains challenge. The limited therapeutic options are primarily delivered by the oral route, among which pirfenidone (PFD) improves dysfunction patient quality of life. However, its high dose severe side effects (dyspepsia systemic photosensitivity) limit clinical value. Intratracheal aerosolization excellent alternative method for treating diseases because it increases concentration drug needed to reach focal site. Tetrahedral framework nucleic acid (tFNA) delivery system with exceptional capabilities. Therefore, we synthesized PFD-tFNA (Pt) complex using tFNA as vehicle achieved quantitative nebulized lungs
