In some embodiments, disclosed herein are oligomeric compounds which include one or more tricyclo-deoxyribonucleic acid (tc-DNA) nucleosides and one or more 2′-modified ribonucleic acid (2′-modified-RNA) nucleosides, and which optionally also include one or more non-nucleotides, each of which is joined by a plurality of internucleoside linkages, including pharmaceutical compositions and methods of using the pharmaceutical compositions for the treatment of diseases including Duchenne muscular dystrophy treatment of familial dysautonomia, spinal muscular atrophy, ataxia telangiectasia, congenital disorder of glycosylation, fronto-temporal dementia, Parkinsonism linked to chromosome 17, Niemann-Pick disease type C. neurofibromatosis type 1, neurofibromatosis type 2, megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts type 1. Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease, Pompe disease, myotonic dystrophy type 2 (DM2 or proximal myotonic myopathy), and myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1 or Steinert disease).

RNA editing is achieved using oligonucleotide constructs comprising (i) a targeting portion specific for a target nucleic acid sequence to be edited and (ii) a recruiting portion capable of binding and recruiting a nucleic acid editing entity naturally present in the cell. The nucleic acid editing entity, such as ADAR, is redirected to a preselected target site by means of the targeting portion, thereby promoting editing of preselected nucleotide residues in a region of the target RNA which corresponds to the targeting portion.

Provided herein are RNAi molecules including a first strand containing a guide sequence and a second strand comprising a non-guide sequence where the non-guide sequence contains a bulge opposite the seed region of the guide sequences; e.g., opposite the cleavage sequence. In some aspects, the invention provides RNAi for treating Huntington's disease. Further provided herein are expression cassettes, vectors (e.g., rAAV, recombinant adenoviral, recombinant lentiviral, and recombinant HSV vectors), cells, viral particles, and pharmaceutical compositions containing the RNAi. Yet further provided herein are methods and kits related to the use of the RNAi, for example, to treat Huntington's disease.

Provided herein are double strand DNA molecules comprising inverted repeats, expression cassette and one or more restriction sites for nicking endonucleases, the methods of use thereof, and the methods of making therefor.

The invention delivers exogenous nucleotide sequences into exosomes using structural and regulatory characteristics identified in the miRNA molecules MIR21, pri-miR-21 and pre-miR- 21. In particular, the invention relates to pre-miRNA for targeting an exogenous nucleotide sequence to an exosome, wherein the pre-miRNA comprises an exogenous nucleotide sequence and a stem-loop structure, wherein the stem comprises at least one wobble pair. The invention also provides nucleic acid cassettes, vectors and cells comprising the engineered pre-miRNA, methods of loading exosomes and the resulting loaded exosomes. The loaded exosomes can be used to deliver an exogenous nucleotide sequence to a target cell, for example in therapy.

This invention relates to compounds, compositions, and methods useful for reducing lactate dehydrogenase target RNA and protein levels via use of dsRNAs, e.g., Dicer substrate siRNA (DsiRNA) agents.

One aspect of the present invention relates to double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) agent capable of inhibiting the expression of a target gene. The sense strand of the dsRNA agent comprises at least one thermally destabilizing nucleotide, and at least one said thermally destabilizing nucleotide occurring at a site opposite to the seed region (positions 2-8) of the antisense strand; and the antisense strand of the dsRNA agent comprises. at least two modified nucleotides that provide the nucleotide a steric bulk that is less than or equal to the steric bulk of a 2′-OMe modification, wherein said modified nucleotides are separated by 11 nucleotides in length. Other aspects of the invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising these dsRNA agents suitable for therapeutic use, and methods of inhibiting the expression of a target gene by administering these dsRNA agents, e.g., for the treatment of various disease conditions.

This disclosure relates to oligonucleotides, compositions and methods useful for reducing GYS2 expression, particularly in hepatocytes. Disclosed oligonucleotides for the reduction of GYS2 expression may be double-stranded or single-stranded, and may be modified for improved characteristics such as stronger resistance to nucleases and lower immunogenicity. Disclosed oligonucleotides for the reduction of GYS2 expression may also include targeting ligands to target a particular cell or organ, such as the hepatocytes of the liver, and may be used to treat glycogen storage diseases (e.g., GSDIa, GSDIII, GSDIV, GSDVI, and GSDIX) and related conditions.

Disclosed herein are compositions that comprise engineered polynucleotides, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the same, methods of making the same, and methods of treatment comprising the compositions that comprise the engineered polynucleotides.
