Framework Nucleic Acids-Based VEGF Signaling Activating System for Angiogenesis: A Dual Stimulation Strategy.
Advanced Science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany) 2024 March 10
Angiogenesis is crucial for tissue engineering, wound healing, and regenerative medicine. Nanomaterials constructed based on specific goals can be employed to activate endogenous growth factor-related signaling. In this study, based on the conventional single-stranded DNA self-assembly into tetrahedral framework nucleic acids (tFNAs), the Apt02 nucleic acid aptamer and dimethyloxallyl glycine (DMOG) small molecule are integrated into a complex via a template-based click chemistry reaction and toehold-mediated strand displacement reaction. Thus, being able to simulate the VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) function and stabilize HIF (hypoxia-inducible factor), a functional whole is constructed and applied to angiogenesis. Cellular studies demonstrate that the tFNAs-Apt02 complex (TAC) has a conspicuous affinity to human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Further incubation with DMOG yields the tFNAs-Apt02-DMOG complex (TACD), which promotes VEGF secretion, in vitro blood vessel formation, sprouting, and migration of HUVECs. Additionally, TACD enhances angiogenesis by upregulating the VEGF/VEGFR and HIF signaling pathways. Moreover, in a diabetic mouse skin defect repair process, TACD increases blood vessel formation and collagen deposition, therefore accelerating wound healing. The novel strategy simulating VEGF and stabilizing HIF promotes blood-vessel formation in vivo and in vitro and has the potential for broad applications in the vascularization field.
