METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR NEUROPROTECTION

The present invention relates to compositions and methods for treating neurodegeneration and neurodegenerative diseases associated with axonal degeneration. Neurodegeneration and neurodegenerative diseases associated with axonal degeneration are treated with therapies comprising SARM1 inhibitors such as SARM1 antisense oligonucleotides.

Muscle targeting complexes and uses thereof for treating dystrophinopathies

Aspects of the disclosure relate to complexes comprising a muscle-targeting agent covalently linked to a molecular payload. In some embodiments, the muscle-targeting agent specifically binds to an internalizing cell surface receptor on muscle cells. In some embodiments, the molecular payload promotes the expression or activity of a functional dystrophin protein. In some embodiments, the molecular payload is an oligonucleotide, such as an antisense oligonucleotide, e.g., an oligonucleotide that causes exon skipping in a mRNA expressed from a mutant DMD allele.

COMPOSITIONS FOR MODULATING TAU EXPRESSION

Disclosed herein are antisense compounds and methods for decreasing Tau mRNA and protein expression. Such methods, compounds, and compositions are useful to treat, prevent, or ameliorate Tau-associated diseases, disorders, and conditions.

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.

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.

BLOOD-BRAIN BARRIER PERMEABLE HETERODUPLEX NUCLEIC ACID

The present invention provides a composition and a method for efficiently delivering a nucleic acid agent to the central nervous system and/or the retina and bringing about antisense effects. Provided is a composition for reducing the expression level of a target transcription product in the central nervous system and/or retina of a subject, the composition including a nucleic acid complex that includes a first nucleic acid strand and a second nucleic acid strand, wherein: the first nucleic acid strand comprises a base sequence capable of hybridizing with at least part of the target transcription product and has an antisense effect on the target transcription product; the second nucleic acid strand comprises a base sequence complementary to the first nucleic acid strand and is conjugated to tocopherol, cholesterol, or an analog thereof; and the first nucleic acid strand is annealed to the second nucleic acid strand.

COMPOUNDS AND METHODS FOR MODULATING C90RF72

Disclosed herein are compounds and methods for modulating C9orf72 transcript. Such compounds and methods are useful to treat, prevent, or ameliorate neurodegenerative diseases in an individual in need thereof.

COMPOUNDS AND METHODS FOR REDUCING APOE EXPRESSION

Provided are compounds, methods, and pharmaceutical compositions for reducing the amount or activity of APOE RNA in a cell or animal, and in certain instances reducing the amount of APOE protein in a cell or animal Such compounds, methods, and pharmaceutical compositions are useful to ameliorate at least one symptom or hallmark of a neurodegenerative disease. Such symptoms and hallmarks include cognitive impairment, progressive memory loss, behavioral abnormality, dementia, difficulty performing daily activities, amyloid plaques, neurofibrillary tangles, and neuroinflammation.

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 prepatations and comprising a therapeutically effective dose of at least one inhibitor of TNFR1-mediated functions and of at least one antigen or allergen.

Modulation of Huntington 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.
