A cubic DNA nanocage probe for in situ analysis of miRNA-10b in tumor-derived extracellular vesicles

Chem Commun (Camb). 2024 Apr 30;60(36):4777-4780. doi: 10.1039/d4cc01049c.

Abstract

A cubic DNA nanocage probe is able to enter EVs derived from MDA-MB-231 cells and react with miRNA-10b. The probe-loaded EVs were employed to monitor the process of entry of miRNA-10b into MCF-10A cells, allowing visualization of EV-mediated intercellular communication of miRNA-10b between the cancer cells.
