Article Abstract
The accurate identification of multiple biomarkers involved in disease plays a vital role in effectively distinguishing cancer cells from normal cells, facilitating reliable cancer diagnosis. Motivated by this knowledge, we have engineered a compact and clamped cascaded DNA circuit for specifically discriminating cancer cells from normal cells the amplified multi-microRNA imaging strategy. The proposed DNA circuit combines the traditional cascaded DNA circuit with multiply localized responsive character through the elaboration of two super-hairpin reactants, thus concurrently streamlining the circuit components and realizing localization-intensified cascaded signal amplification. In parallel, the multiple microRNA-stimulated sequential activations of the compact circuit, combined with a handy logic operation, significantly elevated the cell-discriminating reliability. Applications of the present DNA circuit and in cellular imaging experiments were executed with expected results, therefore illustrating that our DNA circuit is useful for precise cell discrimination and further clinical diagnosis.

A series of molecular logic gates with multiple biocomputing capabilities have been successfully fabricated by using four antibiotic residues [tetracycline (TET), chloramphenicol (CHL), kanamycin (KAN), and streptomycin (STR)] as inputs. The lateral flow strip biosensor was utilized to realize the visual and portable sensing of logic events. Four basic logic gates (OR, AND, XOR, and INHIBIT) and three cascade logic circuits (OR-INHIBIT-AND, 3AND-OR, and XOR-INHIBIT-OR-AND) were constructed.

Liver cancer, particularly hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), poses significant treatment challenges due to chemoresistance and cancer recurrence. Similar to customs at the border, the liver detoxifies incoming chemicals via efflux pumps and overexpresses ATP-binding cassette (ABC) drug exporters, leading to chemoresistance. ABC contains a multihomosubunit structure and a revolving transport mechanism, actively effluxing drugs from cancer cells, thereby reducing intracellular drug accumulation and therapeutic efficacy.

Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most prevalent form of thyroid cancer with a high incidence among endocrine malignancies. It tends to metastasize early in lymph nodes and differs markedly from other subtypes in biological behavior, clinical management, and prognosis. Therefore, accurately distinguishing PTC from other pathological subtypes is crucial for guiding diagnosis and treatment decisions.

Cell-free biosensing systems are being engineered as versatile and programmable diagnostic technologies. A core component of cell-free biosensors is programmable molecular circuits that improve biosensor speed, sensitivity, and specificity by performing molecular computations such as logic evaluation and signal amplification. In previous work, we developed one such circuit system called Polymerase Strand Recycling (PSR), which amplifies cell-free molecular circuits by using T7 RNA polymerase off-target transcription to recycle nucleic acid inputs.

The oncogenic transcription factor MYC drives proliferation, metabolism, and therapy resistance in the majority of human cancers, yet its large, nuclear protein-protein interface has long frustrated direct drug discovery. A pivotal breakthrough was the identification of Tribbles pseudokinase 3 (TRIB3) as a high-affinity scaffold that binds the helix-loop-helix/leucine zipper region of MYC, blocks the E3-ubiquitin-ligase, UBE3B, from tagging critical lysines, and thereby prolongs MYC protein half-life while enhancing MYC-MAX transcriptional output. This review integrates structural, biochemical, and in vivo data to show how genetic deletion or pharmacological eviction of TRIB3 collapses MYC levels, silences its gene program, and suppresses tumor growth in B-cell lymphomas and selected solid tumors.
