We prepared an oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN) bearing two 4-hydroxy-2-mercaptobenzimidazole nucleobase analogues (SB(NV) and SB(NB)) modified with different photolabile groups. This ODN enabled a light-triggered strand exchange reaction in a wavelength-selective manner.

Tumor metastasis remains a major challenge in cancer management. Among various treatment strategies, immune cell-based cancer therapy holds a great potential for inhibiting metastasis. However, its wide application in cancer therapy is restricted by complex preparations, as well as inadequate homing and controllability.

The development of facile, accurate, and affordable assays for microRNAs (miRNAs) in early cancer is greatly desirable but encounters an obstacle due to low cellular abundance in biofuids. In this study, we present a novel approach called a ight-triggered onential mplification strategy coupled with a /Cas13a-based diagnostic system (LEXPA-CRISPR), which directly transduces rare miRNA targets into photocontrolled signal enhancement response. This innovative platform leverages trans-cleavage of CRISPR/Cas13a, activated by the miRNA target, to cleave specific RNA fragments within the MB@PC-NAC assembly, thus releasing free PC-single-stranded DNA (PC-ssDNA) that is modified by a photocleavable linker (PC linker).

Dysfunctional transcription factors that activate abnormal expressions of specific proteins are often associated with the progression of various diseases. Despite being attractive drug targets, the lack of druggable sites has dramatically hindered their drug development. The emergence of proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) has revitalized the drug development of many conventional hard-to-drug protein targets.

We report a unique phototunable cell killing technique using diarylethene molecules as photo-isomerizing-molecular switches. These molecules were delivered to DNA in the cell nucleus due to closed-form generated by UV light, and then blue light triggered cell killing. A UV light irradiation switches the open form, having no DNA intercalation activity, to the closed form to induce intercalation in DNA.

Upconversion nanoparticles enable indirect activation of photodynamic therapy (PDT) using near-infrared (NIR) light, providing an excellent alternative for treating deep tumors. However, conventional NIR light-triggered PDT systems suffered from low spatiotemporal accuracy and restricted therapeutic efficiency . In this work, DNA logic circuits were functionally modified on down/upconversion nanoparticles (D/UCNPs) to construct smart down/upconversion nanomachines (D/UCNMs) for NIR light-triggered PDT toward target tumors.
