摘要: 在精准医学时代,治疗与诊断的有效性不仅取决于药物或探针本身的功能,更取决于其能否准确到达目标部位。而如何实现分子在体内的精准定位,已成为制约多种生物医学技术进一步发展的核心问题之一。DNA纳米结构是一类由DNA构筑的可编程纳米结构材料,具有结构精确、生物相容性好以及功能单元可空间编排等优势,为构建精准递送体系提供了新的材料基础。本文系统阐述DNA纳米结构的基本概念、靶向性修饰的原理与方法,重点分析其通过分子识别标签、物理特性调控及细胞内定位策略实现多级靶向的机制,并展望其在疾病治疗、成像诊断与细胞操控中的潜在应用。同时,本文也探讨了当前面临的稳定性、安全性及规模化挑战,并展望DNA纳米技术与人工智能、动态响应系统结合的未来发展方向。

Abstract: In the era of precision medicine, the effectiveness of therapy and diagnosis depends not only on the intrinsic function of drugs or probes but also on their ability to reach specific target sites with high accuracy. Achieving precise molecular localization in vivo becomes a central challenge that limits the further development of many biomedical technologies. DNA nanostructures are programmable nanomaterials constructed from DNA. They exhibit structural precision, favorable biocompatibility, and the capacity for spatial organization of functional units. These features provide a robust material foundation for the development of precise delivery systems. This article systematically describes the fundamental concepts of DNA nanostructures and the principles and strategies of targeted modification. It focuses on the mechanisms by which multilevel targeting can be achieved through molecular recognition tags, regulation of physicochemical properties, and intracellular localization strategies. The potential applications of these systems in disease therapy, diagnostic imaging, and cellular manipulation are also discussed. In addition, current challenges related to stability, biosafety, and large-scale production are analyzed. Future perspectives are proposed with emphasis on the integration of DNA nanotechnology with artificial intelligence and dynamic responsive systems.
