• A new kind of fluorescent DNA-AgNCs were reported.
• The fluorescence response and reassembly mechanism were revealed.
• The loading and releasing of Dox in DNA-AgNCs can be monitored.
• It has special sensitive to HepG-2 cells.
DNA silver nanoclusters (DNA-AgNCs) with a fluorescence emission at 610 nm were synthesized using a special hairpin DNA sequence (5′-AGCACGTAG-C3AC3AC3GC3A-CTACGTGCT-3′). Spectroscopic data demonstrate that the DNA changed from an i-motif structure containing C-quadruplexes to anti-parallel four strands structure during the formation of DNA-AgNCs. Importantly, the loose and compact four strand structure caused by the melting and hybridization of stem duplex was confirmed by the reversible fluorescence change of DNA-AgNCs in the range of 25–66 °C. Herein, DNA-AgNCs were used as temperature sensitive vehicles of drug loading. The drug loading capacity is 1 Doxorubicin (Dox) molecules per CG pairs on stem-duplexes. The loaded Dox can be released by raising temperature with the melt of stem duplex. Moreover, the special DNA sequence makes it sensitive to the HepG-2 cells.
