Abstrakt: | Receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) plays a crucial role in cancer progression, and it has been identified as a key drug target for cancer targeted therapy. Although traditional RTK-targeting drugs are effective, there are some limitations that potentially hinder the further development of RTK-targeting drugs. Therefore, it is urgently needed to develop novel, simple, and general RTK-targeting inhibitors with a new mechanism of action for cancer targeted therapy. Here, a cell membrane-anchored RTK-targeting DNA nanoinhibitor is developed to inhibit RTK function. By using a DNA tetrahedron as a framework, RTK-specific aptamers as the recognition elements, and cholesterol as anchoring molecules, this DNA nanoinhibitor could rapidly anchor on the cell membrane and specifically bind to RTK. Compared with traditional RTK-targeting inhibitors, this DNA nanoinhibitor does not need to bind at a limited domain on RTK, which increases the possibilities of developing RTK inhibitors. With the cellular-mesenchymal to epithelial transition factor (c-Met) as a target RTK, the DNA nanoinhibitor can not only induce steric hindrance effects to inhibit c-Met activation but also reduce the c-Met level via lysosome-mediated protein degradation and thus inhibition of c-Met signaling pathways and related cell behaviors. Moreover, the DNA nanoinhibitor is feasible for other RTKs by just replacing aptamers. This work may provide a novel, simple, and general RTK-targeting nanoinhibitor and possess great value in RTK-targeted cancer therapy.
