This paper introduces a new quantized complex that has the ability to accurately control the quantity of AS-ODNs, and is more easily taken up by cells compared to conventional complexes, thus providing higher efficiency in antisense therapy.
Finding an appropriate carrier for antisense oligonucleotides (AS-ODNs) and improving the efficiency of their delivery to cells and organs has been critical for the translation of antisense therapy into practice for more than 30 years. We have used a beta-glucan, schizophyllan (SPG), as a delivery tool to solve this issue. SPG forms a complex with AS-ODNs that can be taken up by cells expressing the beta-glucan receptor Dectin-1. We used SPG/AS-DNA complexes containing four to ten ODNs with a relatively large distribution of molecular weights. We recently discovered a complex in which the number of AS-ODNs can be accurately controlled and denoted it as a quantized complex. Building on our previous work, this paper presents the biological properties of this new quantized complex, including its efficacy for cells expressing Dectin-1 and the mechanism behind its cellular uptake of gene-silenced AS-ODNs and immunostimulatory CpG-ODNs. We found that this new complex is also recognized by Dectin-1, and interestingly, is more effective than the conventional complexes, owing to its easier escape from the endocytotic pathway.
