Abstract

Certain miRNAs, called oncomiRs, play a causal role in the onset and maintenance of cancer when overexpressed, thus, representing a potential new class of targets for therapeutic intervention. RNA-cleaving DNAzymes, mainly aimed at mRNA, have shown potential as therapeutic agents for various diseases. However, it's rarely reported that a DNAzyme was used for intracellular miRNA cleavage to suppress cell growth. Herein, we have developed a MnO2 nanosheet-mediated photo-controlled DNAzyme (NPD) for intracellular miRNA cleavage to suppress cell growth. MnO2 nanosheets adsorb photocaged DNAzymes, protect them from enzymatic digestion, and efficiently deliver them into cells. In the presence of intracellular glutathione (GSH), MnO2 nanosheets are reduced to Mn2+ ions, which serve as cofactors of the 8–17 DNAzyme for miRNA cleavage. Once the DNAzyme is activated by light, it can cyclically cleave endogenous miR-21 inside cells, which would suppress cancer cell migration and invasion, and finally induce cancer cell apoptosis.
