Branched oligonucleotides (b-oligonucleotides) based on a novel branching monomer were used for site-specific sequence alteration in vivo. With a stable integrated mutated enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) template in Chinese hamster ovary cells, up to 0.1% EGFP-positive cells were counted after transfection with b-oligonucleotides. The presence of EGFP protein in converted cells was demonstrated by anti-EGFP immunocytochemistry. Genomic sequencing of converted cells showed in 40% of the analysed clones the corrected wild-type codon, while 9.3% of the sequences showed a corrected wild-type sequence and an additional collateral mutation. Despite the stable corrected genomic locus, converted cells entered selective apoptosis after 3-6 days. The cell line Irs-1 that is deficient in the homologous recombination pathway showed a reduced frequency of b-oligonucleotide-induced site-specific sequence conversion. The reduced conversion rates in the mutant cell line could be partly rescued by complementation with XRCC2 cDNA.
