Abstract

Herein we have engineered a smart nuclear targeting thiol-modified riboflavin-gold nano assembly, RfS@AuNPs, which accumulates selectively in nucleus without any nuclear-targeting peptides (NLS/RGD) and shows photophysically in vitro DNA intercalation. A theoretical model using Molecular Dynamics has been developed to probe the mechanism of formation and stability as well as dynamics of the RfS@AuNPs in aqueous solution and within DNA microenvironment. The RfS@AuNPs facilitate the binucleated cell formation that is reflected in the significant increase of DNA damage marker, γ-H2AX as well as the arrest of most of the HeLa cells at pre-G1 phase indicating cell death. Moreover, a significant upregulation of apoptotic markers confirms that the cell death occurs through apoptotic pathway. Analyses of the microarray gene expression of RfS@AuNPs treated HeLa cells show significant alterations in vital biological processes necessary for cell survival. Taken together, our study reports a unique nuclear targeting mechanism through targeting the riboflavin receptors, which are upregulated in cancer cells and induce apoptosis in the targeted cells.
