Abstract
Antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) are single stranded negatively charged molecules which downregulate the translation of specific target messenger RNA (mRNA). Chemically modified ASOs with phosphorothioate (PS) linkages have been extensively studied as research tools and as clinical therapeutics and nine oligonucleotide-based drugs have been approved by regulatory agencies. While several cell surface proteins that bind PS-ASOs and mediate their cellular uptake have been identified, the mechanisms leading to productive internalization of PS-ASOs are not well understood. We demonstrate the potential of hyperspectral CARS imaging to detect the intracellular presence of ASOs in a label-free manner.
