Popis: Cellular and intestinal absorption of naked oligonucleotides (ONs) is limited and still remains a developmental challenge. A previous report in the literature suggests that ON absorption occurs via a paracellular mechanism. The aim of this study was to test this hypothesis using rat and human intestine in a Ussing chamber and in Caco-2 cells. Transport of a (35)S-labelled mixed backbone ON (MBO) across human or rat intestinal tissue or across Caco-2 cells was measured after a 2-h incubation in the presence or absence of increasing MBO concentrations or with uptake inhibitors and enhancers. MBO intestinal absorption was compared with an internal standard, mannitol. (35)S-MBO demonstrated very little absorption (
