Convening industry and health authorities to inform, educate, and share advancements in oligonucleotide-based therapeutic product development.

Session 2B: Assessing the Implications of Oligonucleotide Uptake into Cells

Session Chair(s)

Xuan  Chi, PhD

Xuan Chi, PhD

Supervisory Pharmacologist

CDER, FDA, United States

This session will examine the cellular uptake and lysosomal processing of single-stranded oligonucleotides by the most frequently affected tissues and cells following systemic administration (kidney and macrophages) and intrathecal administration (neurons). The histopathologic changes associated with uptake will be presented and discussed relative to assessing adversity of the findings. The conclusion of the European Society of Toxicologic Pathology (ESTP) expert panel on adversity of lysosomal accumulation relative to oligonucleotides will also be discussed.

Learning Objective :
  • Recognize the histopathologic patterns of cellular uptake of oligonucleotide by systemic and intrathecal administration
  • Define and assess the adversity of lysosomal uptake of oligonucleotides
  • Interpret the findings and differentiate adverse from nonadverse effects
