Abstract

Addition of antisense oligonucleotides to cell cultures has been used to specifically inhibit gene expression. We have investigated the mechanism by which oligonucleotides enter living cells. These compounds are taken up by cells in a saturable, size-dependent manner compatible with receptor-mediated endocytosis. Polynucleotides of any length are competitive inhibitors of oligomer transport, providing they possess a 5'-phosphate moiety. Using oligo(dT)-cellulose for affinity purification, we have identified an 80-kDa surface protein that may mediate transport. Knowledge of the oligonucleotide transport mechanism should facilitate the design of more effective synthetic antisense oligomers as potential clinical agents.

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.
