We demonstrate a new concept of a molecular net for capturing, release, and transportation of target molecules by utilizing polymer-based DNA molecular net (PD-mn). Target biomolecules like DNA, ATP, and VEGF were successfully captured from a heterogenous mixture of biomolecules and released by a stimulus without non-specific degradation by PD-mn prepared by polymerization of acrylamide and acrydite-modified DNA. As a concept of artificial transporter, PD-mn transported target biomolecules from heterogeneous mixture of molecules into a specific enzymatic reaction solution and induced enzyme-mediated reaction. Finally, effective in vivo anti-tumor effect was demonstrated utilizing sheet-shaped PD-mn which has improved capture ability against VEGF as a target biomolecule by amplified DNA VEGF aptamer. This PD-mn could be used as not only an artificial transporter for specific capture and release of target molecules, but therapeutics by specific capture of disease-related molecules. |
