Abstrakt: Antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) are a well-established therapeutic modality based on RNA interference, but low cellular uptake, limited ability to direct ASO trafficking, and a range of intracellular barriers to successful activity compromise both gene silencing outcomes and clinical translations. Herein, we demonstrate that polymers can increase ASO internalisation via intracellular trafficking pathways that are distinct from lipid-based delivery reagents. For the first time, we spatially define internalisation and dissociation stages in the polymer-mediated cytosolic delivery of ASOs using Nanoscale Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (NanoSIMS), which enables visualisation of ASO localisation at the organelle level. We find that polymer-ASO complexes are imported into cells, from which free ASO enters the cytosol following complex dissociation. This information enables a better understanding of the intracellular trafficking pathways of nucleic acid therapeutics and may be exploited for therapeutic delivery to enhance the effectiveness of nucleic acid therapeutics in the future.
