    Abstract:
    Laser-free photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising noninvasive therapeutic modality for deep-seated tumor, yet is constrained by low efficiency due to the limited stimulation strategies. Herein, a novel miRNA-responsive laser-free PDT was developed through metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)-mediated chemiluminescence resonance energy transfer (CRET) nanoplatform. The photosensitizer chlorin e6 (Ce6)-loaded MOFs were functionalized with hairpin nucleic acids for sensitive responsiveness of tumor biomarker miRNA through catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA), which enabled the amplified assembly of horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-mimicking hemin/G-quadruplex DNAzyme on MOFs. Simultaneously, the on-MOF assembled DNAzymes efficiently catalyzed chemiluminescence reaction to stimulate adjacent Ce6 in the presence of luminol and H2 O2 , thus allowing the CRET-mediated Ce6 luminescence and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation for self-illuminating PDT. The CRET nanoplatform achieved significant malignant cell apoptosis and tumor inhibition effects without external laser irradiation. It is envisioned that the miRNA-amplified CRET nanoplatform might be a selective and highly efficient antitumor nanomedicine for precise theranostic.
