The present invention relates to antisense oligonucleotides that modulate the expression of and/or function of Insulin Receptor Substrate 2 (IRS2) polynucleotides, in particular, by targeting natural antisense polynucleotides of Insulin Receptor Substrate 2 (IRS2) polynucleotides and Transcription factor E3 (TFE3). The invention also relates to the identification of these antisense oligonucleotides and their use in treating diseases and disorders associated with the expression of IRS2.

The present invention refers to oligonucleotide consisting of 12 to 20 nucleotides comprising at least one modified nucleotide hybridizing with a nucleic acid sequence of NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) and a pharmaceutical composition 5 comprising such oligonucleotide together with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, excipient and/or dilutant to inhibit the expression of NLRP3 for example for preventing and/or treating an inflammatory disease.

Provided herein are antisense oligonucleotides for use in targeting SARS-CoV-2. Also provided herein are compositions comprising such oligonucleotides and methods for administering the oligonucleotides or compositions thereof to a subject for the purpose of treating or preventing a SARS-CoV-2 infection.

The present invention relates to antisense oligonucleotides that modulate the expression of and/or function of Nuclear Respiratory Factor 1 (NRF1), in particular, by targeting natural antisense polynucleotides of Nuclear Respiratory Factor 1 (NRF1). The invention also relates to the identification of these antisense oligonucleotides and their use in treating diseases and disorders associated with the expression of NRF1.

The present invention provides gapped oligomeric compounds. More particularly the gapped oligomeric compounds provided herein comprise at least one modified internucleoside linkage in the gap region. Such gapped oligomeric compounds have one or more improved properties such as selectivity, potency, improved toxicity profile and or improved proinflammatory profile. Certain such oligomeric compounds are useful for hybridizing to a complementary nucleic acid, including but not limited, to nucleic acids in a cell. In certain embodiments, hybridization results in modulation of the amount activity or expression of the target nucleic acid in a cell.

RNA interference is provided for inhibition of Frizzled Related Protein-1 mRNA expression, in particular, for treating patients having glaucoma or at risk of developing glaucoma.

Disclosed is a method of promoting wound healing or wound closure. The method comprises administration of a miR-198 inhibitor and/or a follistatin-like-1 (FSTL1) polypeptide. Also disclosed are method of treating chronic cutaneous wounds, method of identifying a non-healing wound, use and a pharmaceutical composition comprising a miR-198 inhibitor and/or a follistatin-like-1 (FSTL1) polypeptide.

Disclosed herein are short interfering RNA (siRNA) molecules that downregulate expression of PNPLA3 or variants thereof. The siRNA molecules comprise modified nucleotides and uses thereof. The siRNA molecules may be double stranded and comprise modified nucleotides, such as 2-O-methyl nucleotides and 2-fluoro nucleotides, and ligands.

Nucleic acid products are provided that modulate, in particular interfere with or inhibit, TMPRSS6 and APOC3 gene expression.
