The invention relates to a combination and its use for the treatment of diseases. The instant disclosure provides a combination of a so-called T-cell regulator selected from the group comprising PD1, PD-L1, OX40, TIM-3, LAG3, CD137(4-1BB) and a non-coding immunomodulating DNA.

The disclosure relates to double-stranded ribonucleic acid (dsRNA) compositions targeting the DNAJB 1-PRKAC A fusion gene, and methods of using such dsRNA compositions to alter (e.g., inhibit) expression of DNAJB 1-PRKAC A fusion.

Compositions and methods for editing, e.g., introducing double-stranded breaks, within the TTR gene are provided. Compositions and methods for treating subjects having amyloidosis associated with transthyretin (ATTR), are provided.

This invention provides compounds, compositions and methods for modulating the expression of human GST-π using RNA interference. The RNA interference molecules can be used in methods for preventing or treating diseases such as malignant tumor. Provided are a range of siRNA structures, having one or more of nucleotides being modified or chemically-modified. Advantageous structures include siRNAs with 2′-deoxy nucleotides located in the seed region, as well as other nucleotide modifications.

The present technology relates, in part, to long double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) (e.g., 30 or more base pairs) that inhibits gene expression.

The present invention relates to antisense oligonucleotides (oligomers) that are complementary to HTRA1, leading to modulation of the expression of HTRA1. Modulation of HTRA1 expression is beneficial for a range of medical disorders, such as macular degeneration, e.g. age-related macular degeneration.

CRISPR/Cas-related compositions and methods which provide for efficient gene editing of eukaryotic cells using modified gRNAs.

Provided herein are nucleic acids useful as guide nucleic acids (gNAs), e.g., guide ribonucleic acids (gRNAs), in a CRISPR system wherein the guide nucleic acids contain one or more modifications to one or more nucleotides, use of such guide nucleic acids in modifying cells, and other uses wherein CRISPR Cas proteins are utilized.

In the present invention, it has been confirmed that, when an RNA interference-inducing nucleic acid including at least one 8-oxoguanine (o.sup.8G) in 1st to 9th nucleotides from the 5′-end of at least one single strand of a double strand of a nucleic acid, and a modified nucleic acid that specifically binds to microRNA and in which at least one guanine (G) from among the 1st to 9th nucleotides from the 5′-end are modified with 8-oxoguanine (o.sup.8G), are produced and administered to cells or mice, various pathophysiological phenomena are induced.

In addition, the positions where G>T modifications occur have been identified in cDNA produced through the reverse transcription of microRNA in which guanine (G) is oxidatively modified with 8-oxoguanine (o.sup.8G) by oxidative stress in a seed region of microRNA, to confirm the positions where oxidative modification to 8-oxoguanine has occurred.

Compositions and methods for modulating expression of target nucleic acids using a single strand oligoribonucleotide ss-siRNA compound are disclosed.
