Gold nanocarriers for transport of oligonucleotides across brain endothelial cells.
Treatment of diseases that affect the CNS by gene therapy requires delivery of oligonucleotides to target cells within the brain. As the blood brain barrier prevents movement of large biomolecules, current approaches involve direct injection of the ...

Development of Antibody–Oligonucleotide Complexes for Targeting Exosomal MicroRNA
MicroRNAs in exosomes (exosomal miRNAs) are considered as significant targets for cancer therapy. Anti-miR oligonucleotides are often used for the functional inhibition of miRNAs; however, there are no studies regarding the regulation of exosomal miRNA ...

Chemistry, structure and function of approved oligonucleotide therapeutics
Abstract Eighteen nucleic acid therapeutics have been approved for treatment of various diseases in the last 25 years. Their modes of action include antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs), splice-switching oligonucleotides (SSOs), RNA interference (RNAi) and an RNA aptamer against a protein. Among the diseases targeted by this new class of

Synthesis and evaluation of the functional oligonucleotides-PEG conjugates [PDF]
We have previously demonstrated that the phenylsulfide and phenylsulfoxide derivatives of 2-amino-6-vinylpurine exhibit efficient cross-linking with high selectivity towards cytidine through synchronous activation within duplex. In this study, we synthesized their conjugates with PEG for possible application to in vitro as well as in vivo antisense ...

PNA-Dependent Gene Chemistry: Stable Coupling of Peptides and Oligonucleotides to Plasmid DNA
Two approaches are described for stably conjugating peptides, proteins and oligonucleotides onto plasmid DNA. Both methods use a peptide nucleic acid (PNA) clamp, which binds irreversibly and specifically to a binding site cloned into the plasmid.

Automated in vitro selection to obtain functional oligonucleotides [PDF]
In vitro selection or systematic evolution of ligand by exponential enrichment (SELEX) has been devised for the identification of high-affinity oligonucleotide aptamers to target molecules. However, the selection process is repetitive and time-consuming.

Hydrophobically Modified siRNAs Silence Huntingtin mRNA in Primary Neurons and Mouse Brain
Applications of RNA interference for neuroscience research have been limited by a lack of simple and efficient methods to deliver oligonucleotides to primary neurons in culture and to the brain.
