Antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) belong to promising therapeutic molecules for the treatment of neurologic, muscular and metabolic disorders. Several ASOs have been approved so far and more than a hundred clinical trials are currently underway covering a dozen therapeutic areas including cancer. Yet, the mechanisms of internalization, cell trafficking and action of these molecules remain poorly understood. Moreover, with only a small fraction of ASOs reaching the correct cellular compartment following systemic delivery, the majority of targeted diseases requires recurrent injections of ASOs. A deeper understanding of these mechanisms would guide the improvement of their potency and thus, reduce the amount of delivered ASOs and their potential side-effects. Here, using a CRISPR screen, we investigated intracellular proteins involved in ASOs efficiency using a whole genome approach and identified several potential regulators which could significantly impact ASOs potency in melanoma cells. From these proteins, we validated WD Repeat Domain 91 (WDR91), a regulator of endosomal maturation, as a modulator whose depletion significantly inhibits ASO productive activity. This study provides the first list of ASO modulators using a biologically relevant functional assay to estimate the role of these proteins. In conclusion, these data could lead to a better understanding of the mechanisms favoring productive uptake or improved endosomal escape of ASOs.
