摘要: An efficient method for the delivery of uncharged polyA-tailed phosphorodiamidate morpholino sequences (PMO) in mammalian cells consists employing a synthetic 8-mer amphipathic trans-acting poly-2′-O-methyluridylic thiophosphate triester element (2′-OMeUtaPS) as transfection reagent. Unlike dTtaPS DNA-based element, this RNA is potent at delivering PMO to HeLa pLuc 705 or myotube muscle cells. However, much like dTtaPS, 2′-OMeUtaPS-mediated internalization occurs through an energy-dependent mechanism; macropinocytosis appears be predominant endocytic pathway used cellular uptake. The transfected induce alternate splicing either pre-mRNA encoding luciferase excision exon 23 from dystrophin mdx mouse model muscular dystrophy with efficiency comparable that commercial cationic lipid reagents but without detrimental cytotoxicity.
