Receptor-mediated endocytosis of phosphodiester oligonucleotides in the HepG2 cell line: evidence for non-conventional intracellular trafficking

Abstract

Having identified an oligonucleotide (ON) receptor in the HepG2 cell line, we have re-examined here the kinetics of ON uptake, subcellular distribution and intracellular localisation in these cells, at concentrations relevant for the study of a receptor-dependent process. Kinetic parameters of ON endocytosis were comparable with those of the receptor-mediated endocytosis tracer, transferrin (uptake equilibrium, saturation with concentration, specific competition and rapid efflux) and were clearly distinct from those of fluid-phase endocytosis. By analytical subcellular fractionation, particulate ON showed a bimodal distribution after 2 h of uptake, with a low-density peak superimposed on the distribution of endosomes, and a high-density peak overlapping lysosomes. After an overnight chase, only the high-density peak remained, but it could be dissociated from lysosomes, based on its refractoriness to displacement upon chloroquine-induced swelling. After 2 h of uptake at 300 nM ON-Alexa, a punctate pattern was resolved, by confocal microscopy, from those of transferrin, of a fluid-phase tracer, and of vital staining of lysosomes by LysoTracker. At 3 microM ON-Alexa, its pattern largely overlapped with the fluid-phase tracer and L...Continue Reading
