Résumé
Ribonuclease (RNase)-mediated degradation of messenger RNA (mRNA) poses a huge obstruction to in vivo mRNA delivery. Herein, we propose a novel strategy to protect mRNA by structuring mRNA to prevent RNase attack through steric hinderance. Bundling of mRNA strands through hybridization of RNA oligonucleotide linkers allowed the preparation of mRNA nano-assemblies (R-NAs) comprised of 7.7 mRNA strands on average, mostly below 100 nm in diameter. R-NA formation boosted RNase stability by around 100-fold compared to naïve mRNA and preserved translational activity, allowing protein production. A mechanistic analysis suggests that an endogenous mRNA unwinding mechanism triggered by 5'-cap-dependent translation may induce selective R-NA dissociation intracellularly, leading to smooth translation. R-NAs showed efficient mRNA transfection in mouse brain, demonstrating the feasibility for in vivo administration.
