In recent years, RNA has attracted widespread attention as a unique biomaterial with distinct biophysical properties for designing sophisticated architectures in the nanometer scale. RNA is much more versatile in structure and function with higher thermodynamic stability compared to its nucleic acid counterpart DNA. Larger RNA molecules can be viewed as a modular structure built from a combination of many ‘Lego’ building blocks connected via different linker sequences. By exploiting the diversity of RNA motifs and flexibility of structure, varieties of RNA architectures can be fabricated with precise control of shape, size, and stoichiometry. Many structural motifs have been discovered and characterized over the years and the crystal structures of many of these motifs are available for nanoparticle construction. For example, using the flexibility and versatility of RNA structure, RNA triangles, squares, pentagons and hexagons can be constructed from phi29 pRNA-three-way junction (3WJ) building block. This review will focus on 2D RNA triangles, squares and hexamers; 3D and 4D structures built from basic RNA building blocks; and their prospective applications in vivo as imaging or therapeutic agents via specific delivery and targeting. Methods for intracellular cloning and expression of RNA molecules and the in vivo assembly of RNA nanoparticles will also be reviewed. The 3WJ motif derived from the packaging RNA of bacteriophage phi29 DNA packaging motor is highly thermodynamically stable. The 3WJ can be tuned to construct RNA triangles and squares. Through intermolecular interaction RNA hexamer can be constructed. The RNA triangular units can be further assembled into RNA 2D triangle, square, pentamer, hexamer, and arrays as well as 3D structures including tetrahedron, prism and dendrimers. The multi-functional RNA nanoparticles have shown enormous potential as delivery vehicles for targeted cancer therapy.
