ANTISENSE OLIGONUCLEOTIDES FOR MODULATING NFKB1 EXPRESSION
The present invention relates to antisense oligonucleotides that are capable of modulating expression of NF-B1 in a target cell. The oligonucleotides are complementary to mammalian NFKB1 pre-mRNA intron sequence. The present invention further relates to conjugates of the oligonucleotide and pharmaceutical compositions and methods for treatment of cancer, inflammation or autoimmune diseases using the oligonucleotide.
OLIGOMERIC COMPOUNDS COMPRISING ALPHA-BETA-CONSTRAINED NUCLEIC ACID
The present disclosure provides oligomeric compounds comprising at least one --constrained nucleic acid as provided herein. More particularly, the --constrained nucleic acid provided herein comprise an optionally modified nucleoside with a phosphorus containing constrained internucleoside linkage such as for example a cyclic phosphate internucleoside linkage. The --constrained nucleic acid provided herein are expected to be useful for enhancing one or more properties of oligomeric compounds they are incorporated into such as for example nuclease resistance. In certain embodiments, the oligomeric compounds provided herein hybridize to a portion of a target RNA resulting in loss of normal function of the target RNA.
ANTISENSE OLIGONUCLEOTIDES FOR MODULATING NFKB2 EXPRESSION
The present invention relates to antisense oligonucleotides that are capable of modulating expression of NF-kB2 in a target cell. The oligonucleotides are complementary to mammalian NFKB2 pre-mRNA sequence. The present invention further relates to conjugates of the oligonucleotide and pharmaceutical compositions and methods for treatment of cancer, inflammation or autoimmune diseases using the oligonucleotide.
PRION PROTEIN (PRNP) IRNA COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF
The disclosure relates to double stranded ribonucleic acid (dsRNAi) agents and compositions targeting a prion protein (PRNP) gene, as well as methods of inhibiting expression of a PRNP gene and methods of treating subjects having a PRNP-associated disease or disorder, e.g., Prion diseases, using such dsRNAi agents and compositions.
Allele specific modulators of P23H rhodopsin
The present embodiments provide methods, compounds, and compositions for treating, preventing, ameliorating, or slowing progression of retinitis pigmentosa (RP), such as autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (AdRP) by administering a P23H rhodopsin specific inhibitor to a subject. The present embodiments provided herein are directed to compounds and compositions useful for treating, preventing, ameliorating, or slowing progression of retinitis pigmentosa (RP), such as autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (AdRP). In certain embodiments, P23H rhodopsin inhibitors provided herein are allele-specific antisense compounds targeted to a P23H mutant allele that are capable of selectively inhibiting expression of P23H rhodopsin mutant protein to a greater extent than wild-type protein. In certain embodiments, administration of the allele specific antisense compounds in a subject having AdRP results in selective inhibition of P23H rhodopsin and allows the normal protein produced from the wild-type allele to maintain rod survival and function in the subject.
SELECTIVE LOCAL INHIBITION OF TNFR1-MEDIATED FUNCTIONS AT THE SITE OF ANTIGEN/ALLERGEN PRESENTATION
The invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for the modulation of T cell and B cell responses made of one or more preparations and comprising a therapeutically effective dose of at least one inhibitor of TNFR1-mediated functions and of at least one antigen or allergen.
SELECTIVE ANTISENSE COMPOUNDS AND USES THEREOF
The present invention provides oligomeric compounds. 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. In certain embodiments, hybridization results in selective modulation of the amount, activity, or expression of a target Huntingtin gene or Huntingtin transcript in a cell.
Compounds and methods for reducing Tau expression
Provided are compounds, methods, and pharmaceutical compositions for reducing the amount or activity of Tau mRNA in a cell or animal, and in certain instances reducing the amount of Tau protein in a cell or animal. Such compounds, methods, and pharmaceutical compositions are useful to ameliorate at least one symptom of a neurodegenerative disease. Such symptoms include loss of memory, loss of motor function, and increase in the number and/or volume of neurofibrillary inclusions. Such neurodegenerative diseases include tauopathies, Alzheimer's Disease, Fronto-temporal Dementia (FTD), FTDP-17, Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP), Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), Corticobasal Ganglionic Degeneration (CBD), Epilepsy, and Dravet's Syndrome.
NUCLEIC ACID DELIVERY TO THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
Featured are polymeric nanocarriers (e.g., PLGA nanoparticles) with encapsulated nucleic acid (e.g., an antisense oligonucleotide) for delivery (e.g., intrathecally) to the central nervous system. These polymeric nanocarriers are useful in the treatment of central nervous system disorders. They are capable of delivering their cargo (e.g., an antisense oligonucleotide) in higher amounts, for a longer period of time, and into deeper regions of the brain than a free or unformulated antisense oligonucleotide. The efficient delivery and distribution of antisense oligonucleotides results in reducing the number of administrations and patient compliance and improves patient experience.
MODULATION OF HUNTINGTIN EXPRESSION
Provided herein are methods, compounds, and compositions for reducing expression of huntingtin mRNA and protein in an animal. Such methods, compounds, and compositions are useful to treat, prevent, delay, or ameliorate Huntington's disease, or a symptom thereof.
