Project description:Mouse liver proteome was investigated upon in vivo mouse treatment with a N-acetylgalactosamine-conjugated antisense oligonucleotide engineered to silence ceramide synthase 2 specifically in hepatocytes in vivo. The data is a part of a study on the involvement of ceramide enzymatic machinery in cardiovasular disorders and its potential as a target for the disease treatment.
Project description:Adult BALB/c female mice were injected intraperitoneally with a single dose at 20 mg per kg of antisense oligonucleotide either against miR-29a (5’-TAACCGATTTCAGATGGTGCTA-3’) or against a scrambled sequence (5’-TCATTGGCATGTACCATGCAGCT-3’ Antisense oligonucleotides contained 2’-O-methoxyethyl (2’-MOE), 2’-flouro (2’-F) 2'-alpha-flouro units with a phosphorothioate backbone (Regulus Therapeutics). Six days following the injection, liver was isolated, total RNA was prepared as described above, and the RNA was amplified and biotinylated using the MessageAmp Premier kit (Ambion). Samples (n=4 each experimental and control) were hybridized to Affymetrix GeneChip Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Arrays in the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia Nucleic Acids Core Facility and analyzed with the assistance of the Penn Bioinformatics Core. Probe intensities were normalized using the GCRMA method and the significance of the log2-transformed, GCRMA-normalized signal intensities was determined using SAM
Project description:Next generation modified antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) are commercially approved new therapeutic modalities, yet poor productive uptake and endosomal entrapment in tumour cells limit their broad application. We compared intracellular traffic of anti KRAS antisense oligonucleotide (AZD4785) in good and poor productive uptake tumour cells, PC9 and LK2 respectively. We found that the majority of AZD4785 is rapidly delivered to CD63+ late endosomes (LE) in both cell lines. Importantly, lysobisphosphatidic acid (LBPA) that triggers ASO LE escape is presented in CD63+ LE in PC9 but not in LK2 cells. Moreover, both cells recycle AZD4785 in the extracellular vesicles (EVs) however AZD4785 quantification by advanced mass spectrometry and proteomic analysis revealed that LK2 recycles more AZD4785 and RNA-binding proteins. Finally, stimulating LBPA intracellular production or blocking EV recycling enhanced AZD4785 activity in LK2 but not in PC9 cells thus offering novel strategy to possibly enhance ASO potency in poor productive uptake tumour cells.
