Altered mRNA Splicing and Inhibition of Human E-selectin Expression by an Antisense Oligonucleotide in Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells

(Received for publication, June 27, 1996, and in revised form, September 3, 1996)

We have characterized the mechanism of action of an antisense oligodeoxynucleotide (ASO) targeting human endothelial leukocyte adhesion molecule, E-selectin. ISIS 4730, a 20-base ASO designed to be complementary to a region in the 3-untranslated region (3-UTR) of human E-selectin, is a potent and specific inhibitor of both mRNA and protein expression in human umbilical vein endothelial cells. Following treatment with ISIS 4730, a lower molecular weight mRNA (3300 bases) species was detected by Northern blot analysis with a corresponding decrease in the mature E-selectin transcript (3875 bases). The ASO-induced low molecular weight mRNA is stable and remains in the nucleus. We demonstrate that ISIS 4730 targets E-selectin pre-mRNA in the nucleus and promotes cleavage of the pre-mRNA at the hybridization site, resulting in prevention of splicing of the last intron. The change in molecular weight of the E-selectin transcript is the result of loss of the 3-UTR due to ASO-mediated RNA cleavage and retention of the last intron. Cleavage of the E-selectin pre-mRNA appears to be due to endogenous RNase H or a related enzyme activity.
