Schematic illustration of the overall design of Apt-HJ-Dox for targeted delivery of Dox to cancer cells in vivo. (A) The structure of Apt-HJ-Dox, with four single strands assembled into a Holliday Junction through precise base pairing. AS1411 was attached to the 3ʹ end of each strand. Dox (red dots) intercalated into the CG pairs of the double-strand DNA. (B) Schematic showing that Apt-HJ-Dox might enter tumor tissue and selectively bind with nucleolin-positive target cancer cells.
