| Abstract | We studied the use of Prussian blue nanoparticles (PBNPs) as novel nanocarriers for sending DNA drugs into cancer cells. 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid (MUA) was used to functionalize the surfaces of PBNPs (nanocubes with an average dimension of 75 nm) for subsequent covalent grafting of a 33-mer DNA drug with a FAM reporter at the 3′ end. The PBNPs synthesis and DNA drug conjugation were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Fourier-transform infrared absorption (FTIR), respectively. The drug was a decoy oligodeoxynucleotide (dODN) that inhibits the signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3). The DNA–PBNPs drug (dODN@MUA–PBNPs) was delivered into human prostate carcinoma 22rv1 cells by endocytosis in vitro as confirmed by confocal fluorescence microscopy. MTT cell viability assays were carried out to assess the effect of the DNA–PBNPs drug. The results showed that the dODN molecules were successfully conjugated to the MUA modified PBNPs via amide and/or disulfide bond formation and could thus be successfully delivered into the cancer cells. The control experiments showed that the unconjugated dODN molecules were not able to enter the cancer cells no matter whether non-functionalized PBNPs were present or not. It was also found that the DNA-PBNPs drugs were internalized and then distributed homogeneously throughout the cell, including cytoplasmic and nucleic regions, after endocytosis. The cancer cell-killing ability increased with the amount of dODN conjugated on PBNPs and the dosage of DNA–PBNPs drug internalized. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
