Recombinant protein PGEk, consisting of the human epidermal growth factor (hEGF) and a DNA-binding domain, proved to be capable of interacting with the hEGF receptor and inducing cell proliferation, as characteristic of hEGF. PGEk complexes with the telomere-mimic oligonucleotide d(TTAGGG)4 (TMO) and its thio analog (TMS) were efficiently and selectively internalized by cells with a high-level expression of the hEGF receptors. The extent of internalization was studied as a function of the PGEk: oligonucleotide ratio in the complex. The intracellular location of the oligonucleotides was determined. PGEk was found to ensure a more efficient delivery of the oligonucleotides and to protect them from nuclease degradation. The oligonucleotides contained in the complexes exerted a far greater cytotoxic effect as compared with the free oligonucleotides.
