摘要

We conducted a biophysical study to investigate the self-assembling and albumin-binding propensities of a series of fatty acid-modified locked nucleic acid (LNA) antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) gapmers specific to the MALAT1 gene. To this end, a series of biophysical techniques were applied using label-free ASOs that were covalently modified with saturated fatty acids (FAs) of varying length, branching, and 5'/3' attachment. Using analytical ultracentrifugation (AUC), we demonstrate that ASOs conjugated with fatty acids longer than C16 exhibit an increasing tendency to form self-assembled vesicular structures. The C16 to C24 conjugates interacted via the fatty acid chains with mouse and human serum albumin (MSA/HSA) to form stable adducts with near-linear correlation between FA-ASO hydrophobicity and binding strength to mouse albumin. This was not observed for the longer fatty acid chain ASO conjugates (>C24) under the experimental conditions applied. The longer FA-ASO however adopted self-assembled structures with increasing intrinsic stabilities proportional to the fatty acid chain length. For instance, FA chain lengths smaller than C24 readily formed self-assembled structures containing 2 (C16), 6 (C22, bis-C12), and 12 (C24) monomers, as measured by analytical ultracentrifugation (AUC). Incubation with albumin disrupted these supramolecular architectures to form FA-ASO/albumin complexes mostly with 2:1 stoichiometry and binding affinities in the low micromolar range, as determined by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) and analytical ultracentrifugation (AUC). Binding of FA-ASOs underwent a biphasic pattern for medium-length FA chain lengths (>C16) with an initial endothermic phase of particulate disruption, followed by an exothermic binding event to the albumin. Conversely, ASO modified with di-palmitic acid (C32) formed a strong, hexameric complex. This structure was not disrupted when incubated with albumin under conditions above the critical nanoparticle concentration (CNC; <0.4 μM). It is noteworthy that the interaction of parent, fatty acid-free malat1 ASO to albumin was below detectability by ITC (KD ≫150 μM). This work demonstrates that the nature of mono- vs multimeric structures of hydrophobically modified ASOs is governed by the hydrophobic effect. Consequently, supramolecular assembly to form particulate structures is a direct consequence of the fatty acid chain length. This provides opportunities to exploit the concept of hydrophobic modification to influence pharmacokinetics (PK) and biodistribution for ASOs in two ways: (1) binding of the FA-ASO to albumin as a carrier vehicle and (2) self-assembly resulting in albumin-inert, supramolecular architectures. Both concepts create opportunities to influence biodistribution, receptor interaction, uptake mechanism, and pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) properties in vivo, potentially enabling access to extrahepatic tissues in sufficient concentration to treat disease.
