Abstract

Purpose A factor limiting the effectiveness of antisense (AS) deoxyoligonucleotides (ODNs) is inefficient transport to their sites of action in the cytoplasm and in the nucleus. The extent of ODN transfer from endosomes to cytosol seems to be an important determinant of ODN effects. Consequently, the development of compounds (adjuvants) that enhance endosome to cytosol transfer may be vital in AS ODN therapeutics.Methods In this report, we evaluated compounds for their potential to enhance the effects of phosphorothioate ODNs. The test system used a CHO cell line expressing the enzyme chloramphenicol acetyl-transferase (CAT) under the control of an inducible promoter. Several potential endosomal disrupting adjuvants were screened, including: (a) fusogenic peptides; (b) a pH sensitive polymer; (c) polymeric dendrimers, (d) cationic liposomes and (e) a pH sensitive surfactant N-dodecyl 2-imidazole-propionate (DIP). ODN effects were evaluated at the protein level by quantitating levels of CAT.Results The use of AS ODN in co-incubation with the GALA peptide, cationic liposomes or 5th generation dendrimers resulted in a 35-40% reduction in CAT expression. The mis-matched ODN had no effect on CAT expression. Only modest effects were observed with the other adjuvants. DIP did not increase ODN activity by itself; however, when the liposomal form was used a significant reduction (48%) in CAT activity was seen.Conclusions We found the fusogenic peptide GALA, dendrimers, as well as the liposomal form of DIP, could significantly enhance the effects of ODNs.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
