Apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1 (APE1), also known as redox factor-1 (Ref-1), is a multifunctional protein that exists widely in living organisms. It can specifically recognize and cleave the DNA in apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) sites in the base excision repair (BER) pathway, as well as regulate the expression of genes to activate some transcription factors. The abnormal expression and disruptions in the biological functions of APE1 are linked to a number of diseases, including inflammation, immunodeficiency, and cancer. Hence, it is extremely desired to monitor the activity of APE1, acquiring a thorough understanding of the healing process of damaged DNA and making clinical diagnoses. Thanks to the advent of DNA nanotechnology, some nanodevices are used to image the activity of APE1 with great sensitivity and simplicity. In this review, we will summarize developments in DNA-nanotechnology-empowered fluorescence imaging in recent years for APE1 activity according to different types of DNA probes, which are classified into linear DNA probes, composite DNA nanomaterials, and three-dimensional (3D) DNA nanostructures. We also highlight the future research directions in the field of APE1 activity imaging. |
