A chimeric complex comprising a microRNA in combination with an aptamer for AXL receptor tyrosine kinase is provided. Use of the chimeric complex for targeted treatment of a tumor disease, in particular in a therapy affecting onset and/or progression of tumor metastasis is also provided.

Therapeutic oligonucleotides comprising pharmacokinetic (PK)-modifying anchors are provided. Methods for treating diseases or disorders comprising administering to a subject a therapeutic oligonucleotide comprising one or more PK-modifying anchors are provided.

The present disclosure, at least in part, relates to a miRNA based logic gate that comprises an engineered RNA carrier that comprises an nuclear export signal, a target site for a first miRNA and a pre-miRNA sequence for a second miRNA. Also provided by the disclosure are recombinant viruses (e.g., recombinant adeno-associated viruses (rAAV)) for delivery of the miRNA based logic gates.

The invention provides a single-stranded oligonucleotide represented by the formula (I), wherein X and Y hybridize by a first nucleotide sequence portion and a second nucleotide sequence portion. X is composed of 7 to 100 nucleotides, contains at least one modified-nucleotide, and has a first nucleotide sequence capable of hybridizing with a second oligonucleotide. Y is composed of 4 to 100 nucleotides, enables hybridization with the above-mentioned first oligonucleotide, and has a second nucleotide sequence containing at least one ribonucleotide. At least one of the nucleotide sequences X, Xz and Y has an antisense sequence capable of hybridizing with a target RNA. At least one of L, Lx and Ly is a linking group that contains a non-nucleotide structure. ##STR00001##

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.

This disclosure provides systems, methods, and compositions for site-specific genetic engineering using Programmable Addition via Site-Specific Targeting Elements (PASTE). PASTE comprises the addition of an integration site into a target genome followed by the insertion of one or more genes of interest or one or more nucleic acid sequences of interest at the site. PASTE combines gene editing technologies and integrase technologies to achieve unidirectional incorporation of genes in a genome for the treatment of diseases and diagnosis of disease.

Disclosed herein are engineered guide RNAs, constructs for forming engineered guide RNAs, pharmaceutical compositions thereof, methods of making the engineered guide RNAs, and methods of treating or preventing a diseases and disorders of a subject by administering one or more of the engineered guide RNAs or the constructs for forming the engineered guide RNAs.

A nucleic acid-drug complex is provided in the present disclosure, which includes a nucleic acid sequence of an anti-PD-L1 aptamer and a CpG oligonucleotide sequence capable of activating TLR9, in which the CpG oligonucleotide sequence consists of a first fragment and a second fragment, and the nucleic acid sequence of the anti-PD-L1 aptamer is inserted between the first fragment and the second fragment.

A hybrid guide RNA (hgRNA) comprising a proximal spacer, a distal spacer, a type II CRISPR-Cas tracrRNA, and a type V CRISPR-Cas direct repeat. Also provided herein are further multiplexed hgRNAs comprising additional direct repeats and spacers as well as methods of making and using thereof. Libraries comprising said hgRNAs or components thereof, cells, kits and reagents employed in the making or use thereof are also provided.
