The artificial nucleobase 1,3-diaza-2-oxophenoxazine (tCO) and its derivative G-clamp strongly bind to guanine and, when incorporated into double-stranded DNA, significantly increase the stability of the latter. As the phenoxazine skeleton is a constituent of major pharmaceuticals, we hypothesized that oligonucleotides (ONs) containing phenoxazine bases would induce property changes related to intracellular uptake and migration in tissues. In this study, we designed and synthesized a novel G-clamp-linker antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) in which a G-clamp base with a flexible linker was introduced into the 5'-end of an ASO targeting mouse long non-coding RNA metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (mMALAT1). Compared to unconjugated ASO, the G-clamp-linker ASO induced significantly more effective knockdown of mMALAT1 in mouse skeletal muscle. The ASOs conjugated with 2'-deoxyribonucleotide(s) bearing a tCO nucleobase at the 5'-end exhibited a similar knockdown effect in skeletal muscle. Thus, it may be possible to improve therapeutic effects against skeletal muscle diseases, such as muscular dystrophy, by using ONs with incorporated phenoxazine nucleobases.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009841 Oligonucleotides Polymers made up of a few (2-20) nucleotides. In molecular genetics, they refer to a short sequence synthesized to match a region where a mutation is known to occur, and then used as a probe (OLIGONUCLEOTIDE PROBES). (Dorland, 28th ed) Oligonucleotide
D010078 Oxazines Six-membered heterocycles containing an oxygen and a nitrogen.
D003854 Deoxyribonucleotides A purine or pyrimidine base bonded to a DEOXYRIBOSE containing a bond to a phosphate group. Deoxyribonucleotide
D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D062085 RNA, Long Noncoding A class of untranslated RNA molecules that are typically greater than 200 nucleotides in length and do not code for proteins. Members of this class have been found to play roles in transcriptional regulation, post-transcriptional processing, CHROMATIN REMODELING, and in the epigenetic control of chromatin.
