Base modification and the use of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are thought to be essential for efficient in vivo delivery and expression of mRNA. However, for ex vivo immune cell engineering, the need for either of the two is unclear. Previous reports have suggested that nucleic acids may be efficiently delivered to immune cells ex vivo, through a non-endosomal delivery route, but the need for base modification has not been determined. Herein, we demonstrate that when a non-endosomal delivery method is used, unmodified mRNA performs equally well to the commonly used base-modified mRNA, including the N1 methyl pseudo-uridine modification, in terms of protein expression and inflammatory response in cells. However, if an endosomal delivery route is used, then N1 methyl pseudo-uridine modification is necessary for high expression and low inflammatory response, as demonstrated by others as well. Overall, we show that non-endosomal mRNA delivery renders nucleoside modifications non-essential, and that unmodified mRNA combined with non-endosomal delivery route may be used for efficient ex vivo mRNA-based engineering of immune cells.
