Abstract

Sunitinib (SUN) is a first-line drug for the treatment of renal clear carcinoma cells by targeting receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK) on the cell membrane. However, the effective delivery of SUN to the cell membrane remains a significant challenge. In this study, we fabricated precisely structured DNA nanotapes with strong surface SUN adhesion, enabling RTK inhibition of renal clear carcinoma cells. In our design, the precisely assembled linear topological six-helical-bundle DNA origami serves as the framework, and positively charged chitosan is adsorbed onto the DNA origami surface, thereby forming DNA nanotapes. The SUN was efficiently loaded onto the surface of the DNA nanotapes by electrostatic interaction. We found that DNA nanotapes exhibit excellent stability in serum. Importantly, DNA nanotapes carrying SUN can achieve prolonged cell membrane retention and inhibit RTK, thereby enhancing cytotoxicity toward 786-0 cells. Taken together, this study provides a promising candidate platform for the efficient delivery of cell membrane receptor inhibitors in anticancer therapy.
