Abstract

We build off the previously described concept of a nanoflare to develop an oligonucleotide gold nanoparticle conjugate that is capable of both detecting and regulating intracellular levels of mRNA. We characterize the binding rate and specificity of these materials using survivin, a gene associated with the diagnosis and treatment of cancer, as a target. The nanoconjugate enters cells and binds mRNA, thereby decreasing the relative abundance of mRNA in a dose- and sequence-dependent manner, resulting in a fluorescent response. This represents the first demonstration of a single material capable of both mRNA regulation and detection. Further, we investigate the intracellular biochemistry of the nanoconjugate, elucidating its mechanism of gene regulation. This work is important to the study of biologically active nanomaterials such as the nanoflare and is a first step toward the development of an mRNA responsive "theranostic".

    “In previous work using similar nanoconjugates, we observed depletion in protein levels,(45) which can be caused by either translation inhibition or mRNA depletion.(37) Here, we find that nanoconjugates deplete mRNA, a phenomenon that has been observed with traditional antisense oligonucleotides.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
