Abstract
Mapping the endocytic vesicular acidification process is of prior importance to better understand the health and pathological processes of cells. Herein, by integrating a pH-sensitive i-motif and a pair of fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) into a tetrahedral DNA framework (TDF), we develop a pH-responsive DNA nanomachine, allowing for efficient sensing of pH from 7.0 to 5.5 via the pH-triggered spatial proximity modulation of FRET. The inheriting endo-lysosome-targeting ability of TDF enables spatiotemporal tracking of endocytic vesicle acidification during the endosomal maturation process. Analysis of pH-dependent FRET response at single fluorescent spot level reveals the significant difference of endocytic vesicular acidification between normal and cancer cells. The performance of pH-responsive DNA nanomachine underlines its potential for studies on vesicle acidification-related pathologies as a universal platform.
