FIELD
Provided are compositions and methods for reducing expression of Tau mRNA and protein in an animal. Such methods are useful to treat, prevent, or ameliorate neurodegenerative diseases, including 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 by inhibiting expression of Tau in an animal.
BACKGROUND
The primary function of Tau is to bind to and stabilize microtubules, which are important structural components of the cytoskeleton involved in mitosis, cytokinesis, and vesicular transport. Tau is found in multiple tissues, but is particularly abundant in axons of neurons. In humans, there are six isoforms of Tau that are generated by alternative splicing of exons 2, 3, and 10. Splicing of exons 2 and 3 at the N-terminus of the protein leads to inclusion of zero, one, or two 29 amino acid acidic domains and is termed 0N, 1N, or 2N Tau respectively. The influence of these domains on Tau function is not fully clear, though may play a role in interactions with the plasma membrane. Inclusion of exon 10 at the C-terminus leads to inclusion of the microtubule binding domain encoded by exon 10. Since there are 3 microtubule binding domains elsewhere in Tau, this Tau isoform (with exon 10 included) is termed 4R Tau, where ‘R’ refers to the number of repeats of microtubule binding domains. Tau without exon 10 is termed 3R Tau. Since more microtubule binding domains (4R compared with 3R) increases the binding to microtubules, 4R Tau presumably significantly increases microtubule binding and assembly. The ratio of 3R/4R Tau is developmentally regulated, with fetal tissues expressing exclusively 3R Tau and adult human tissues expressing approximately equal levels of 3R/4R Tau. Deviations from the normal ratio of 3R/4R Tau are characteristic of neurodegenerative FTD Tauopathies. It is not known how changing the 3R/4R Tau ratio at a later stage in the adult animal will affect Tau pathogenesis.
Serine-threonine directed phosphorylation regulates the microtubule binding ability of Tau. Hyperphosphorylation promotes detachment of Tau from microtubules. Other post translational modifications of Tau have been described; however the significance of these is unclear. Phosphorylation of Tau is also developmentally regulated with higher phosphorylation in fetal tissues and much lower phosphorylation in the adult. One characteristic of neurodegenerative disorders is aberrantly increased Tau phosphorylation.
The microtubule network is involved in many important processes within the cell including structural integrity needed for maintaining morphology of cells and operating transport machinery. Since binding of Tau to microtubules stabilizes microtubules, Tau is likely to be a key mediator of some of these processes and disruption of normal Tau in neurodegenerative diseases may disrupt some of these key cellular processes.
One of the early indicators that Tau may be important in neurodegenerative syndromes was the recognition that Tau is a key component of neurofibrillary inclusions in Alzheimer's disease. In fact, neurofibrillary inclusions are aggregates of hyperphosphorylated Tau protein. Along with amyloid beta containing plaques, neurofibrillary inclusions are a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease and correlate significantly with cognitive impairment. 95% of Tau accumulations in AD are found in neuronal processes and is termed neuritic dystrophy. The process(es) whereby this microtubule associated protein becomes disengaged from microtubules and forms accumulations of proteins and how this relates to neuronal toxicity is not well understood.
Neuronal Tau inclusions are a pathological characteristic of not only Alzheimer's disease, but also a subset of Frontotemporal dementia (FTD), PSP, and CBD. The link between Tau and neurodegeneration was solidified by the discovery that mutations in the Tau gene cause a subset of FTD. These genetic data have also highlighted the importance of the 3R:4R ratio of Tau. Many of the Tau mutations that cause FTD lead to a change in Tau splicing which leads to preferential inclusion of exon 10, and thus to increased 4R Tau. The overall Tau levels are normal. Whether the Tau isoform change or the amino acid change or both cause neurodegeneration remains unknown. Recent data suggest that PSP may also be associated with an increased 4R:3R Tau ratio.
To help understand the influence of Tau ratios on neurodegeneration, a mouse model based on one of the splicing Tau mutations (N279K) has been generated using a minigene that includes the Tau promoter and the flanking intronic sequences of exon 10. As in humans, these mice demonstrate increased levels of 4R Tau compared with transgenics expressing WT Tau and develop behavioral and motor abnormalities as well as accumulations of aggregated Tau in the brain and spinal cord.
The protein “Tau” has been associated with multiple diseases of the brain including Alzheimer's disease, frontotemporal dementia, progressive supranuclear palsy, corticobasal ganglionic degeneration, dementia pugilistica, parkinsonism linked to chromosome, Lytico-Bodig disease, tangle-predominant dementia, ganglioglioma, gangliocytoma, meningioangiomatosis, subacute sclerosing panencephalitis, lead encephalopathy, tuberous sclerosis, Hallervorden-Spatz disease, Pick's disease, argyrophilic grain disease, corticobasal degeneration or frontotemporal lobar degeneration and others. Tau-associated disorders such as AD are the most common cause of dementia in the elderly. AD affects an estimated 15 million people worldwide and 40% of the population above 85 years of age. AD is characterized by two pathological hallmarks: Tau neurofibrillary inclusions (NFT) and amyloid-β (Aβ) plaques.
There is currently a lack of acceptable options for treating such neurodegenerative diseases. It is therefore an object herein to provide methods for the treatment of such diseases.

In certain embodiments, the antisense compound targeted to a Tau nucleic acid is 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, or 80 linked subunits in length, or a range defined by any two of the above values. In certain embodiments the antisense compound is an antisense oligonucleotide, and the linked subunits are nucleosides.
In certain embodiments antisense oligonucleotides targeted to a Tau nucleic acid may be shortened or truncated. For example, a single subunit may be deleted from the 5′ end (5′ truncation), or alternatively from the 3′ end (3′ truncation). A shortened or truncated antisense compound targeted to a Tau nucleic acid may have two subunits deleted from the 5′ end, or alternatively may have two subunits deleted from the 3′ end, of the antisense compound. Alternatively, the deleted nucleosides may be dispersed throughout the antisense compound, for example, in an antisense compound having one nucleoside deleted from the 5′ end and one nucleoside deleted from the 3′ end.
When a single additional subunit is present in a lengthened antisense compound, the additional subunit may be located at the 5′ or 3′ end of the antisense compound. When two or more additional subunits are present, the added subunits may be adjacent to each other, for example, in an antisense compound having two subunits added to the 5′ end (5′ addition), or alternatively to the 3′ end (3′ addition), of the antisense compound. Alternatively, the added subunits may be dispersed throughout the antisense compound, for example, in an antisense compound having one subunit added to the 5′ end and one subunit added to the 3′ end.
It is possible to increase or decrease the length of an antisense compound, such as an antisense oligonucleotide, and/or introduce mismatch bases without eliminating activity. For example, in Woolf et al. (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 89:7305-7309, 1992), a series of antisense oligonucleotides 13-25 nucleobases in length were tested for their ability to induce cleavage of a target RNA in an oocyte injection model. Antisense oligonucleotides 25 nucleobases in length with 8 or 11 mismatch bases near the ends of the antisense oligonucleotides were able to direct specific cleavage of the target mRNA, albeit to a lesser extent than the antisense oligonucleotides that contained no mismatches. Similarly, target specific cleavage was achieved using 13 nucleobase antisense oligonucleotides, including those with 1 or 3 mismatches.
Gautschi et al (J. Natl. Cancer Inst. 93:463-471, March 2001) demonstrated the ability of an oligonucleotide having 100% complementarity to the bcl-2 mRNA and having 3 mismatches to the bcl-xL mRNA to reduce the expression of both bcl-2 and bcl-xL in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, this oligonucleotide demonstrated potent anti-tumor activity in vivo.
Maher and Dolnick (Nuc. Acid. Res. 16:3341-3358, 1988) tested a series of tandem 14 nucleobase antisense oligonucleotides, and a 28 and 42 nucleobase antisense oligonucleotides comprised of the sequence of two or three of the tandem antisense oligonucleotides, respectively, for their ability to arrest translation of human DHFR in a rabbit reticulocyte assay. Each of the three 14 nucleobase antisense oligonucleotides alone was able to inhibit translation, albeit at a more modest level than the 28 or 42 nucleobase antisense oligonucleotides.
Antisense Compound Motifs
In certain embodiments, antisense compounds targeted to a Tau nucleic acid have chemically modified subunits arranged in patterns, or motifs, to confer to the antisense compounds properties such as enhanced inhibitory activity, increased binding affinity for a target nucleic acid, or resistance to degradation by in vivo nucleases.
Chimeric antisense compounds typically contain at least one region modified so as to confer increased resistance to nuclease degradation, increased cellular uptake, increased binding affinity for the target nucleic acid, and/or increased inhibitory activity. A second region of a chimeric antisense compound may optionally serve as a substrate for the cellular endonuclease RNase H, which cleaves the RNA strand of an RNA:DNA duplex.
Antisense compounds having a gapmer motif are considered chimeric antisense compounds. In a gapmer an internal region having a plurality of nucleotides that supports RNaseH cleavage is positioned between external regions having a plurality of nucleotides that are chemically distinct from the nucleosides of the internal region. In the case of an antisense oligonucleotide having a gapmer motif, the gap segment generally serves as the substrate for endonuclease cleavage, while the wing segments comprise modified nucleosides. In certain embodiments, the regions of a gapmer are differentiated by the types of sugar moieties comprising each distinct region. The types of sugar moieties that are used to differentiate the regions of a gapmer may in some embodiments include β-D-ribonucleosides, β-D-deoxyribonucleosides, 2′-modified nucleosides (such 2′-modified nucleosides may include 2′-MOE, and 2′-O—CH3, among others), and bicyclic sugar modified nucleosides (such bicyclic sugar modified nucleosides may include those having a 4′-(CH2)n-O-2′ bridge, where n=1 or n=2 and 4′-CH2—O—CH2-2′). In certain embodiments, wings may include several modified sugar moieties, including, for example 2′-MOE. In certain embodiments, wings may include several modified and unmodified sugar moieties. In certain embodiments, wings may include various combinations of 2′-MOE nucleosides and 2′-deoxynucleosides.
Each distinct region may comprise uniform sugar moieties, variant, or alternating sugar moieties. The wing-gap-wing motif is frequently described as “X—Y—Z”, where “X” represents the length of the 5′ wing, “Y” represents the length of the gap, and “Z” represents the length of the 3′ wing. “X” and “Z” may comprise uniform, variant, or alternating sugar moieties. In certain embodiments, “X” and “Y” may include one or more 2′-deoxynucleosides. “Y” may comprise 2′-deoxynucleosides. As used herein, a gapmer described as “X—Y—Z” has a configuration such that the gap is positioned immediately adjacent to each of the 5′ wing and the 3′ wing. Thus, no intervening nucleotides exist between the 5′ wing and gap, or the gap and the 3′ wing. Any of the antisense compounds described herein can have a gapmer motif. In certain embodiments, “X” and “Z” are the same; in other embodiments they are different.
In certain embodiments, gapmers provided herein include, for example 20-mers having a motif of 5-10-5.
In certain embodiments, gapmers provided herein include, for example 19-mers having a motif of 5-9-5.
In certain embodiments, gapmers provided herein include, for example 18-mers having a motif of 5-8-5.
In certain embodiments, gapmers provided herein include, for example 18-mers having a motif of 4-8-6.
In certain embodiments, gapmers provided herein include, for example 18-mers having a motif of 6-8-4.
In certain embodiments, gapmers provided herein include, for example 18-mers having a motif of 5-7-6.
Target Nucleic Acids, Target Regions and Nucleotide Sequences
Nucleotide sequences that encode Tau include, without limitation, the following: GENBANK Accession No. NT_010783.15 truncated from nucleotides 9240000 to U.S. Pat. No. 9,381,000 (incorporated herein as SEQ ID NO: 1), GENBANK Accession No. NM_001123066.3 (incorporated herein as SEQ ID NO: 2), GENBANK Accession No. NM_016841.4, a variant mRNA sequence which skips exons 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 (incorporated herein as SEQ ID NO: 3), GENBANK Accession No. NT_010783.14 truncated from nucleotides 2624000 to U.S. Pat. No. 2,761,000 (incorporated herein as SEQ ID NO: 4), GENBANK Accession No. DR002467.1 (incorporated herein as SEQ ID NO: 5), GENBANK Accession No. NM_001203251.1 (incorporated herein as SEQ ID NO: 6), and GENBANK Accession No. NM_016835.4 (incorporated herein as SEQ ID NO: 7).
It is understood that the sequence set forth in each SEQ ID NO in the Examples contained herein is independent of any modification to a sugar moiety, an internucleoside linkage, or a nucleobase. As such, antisense compounds defined by a SEQ ID NO may comprise, independently, one or more modifications to a sugar moiety, an internucleoside linkage, or a nucleobase. Antisense compounds described by Isis Number (Isis No) indicate a combination of nucleobase sequence and motif.
In certain embodiments, a target region is a structurally defined region of the target nucleic acid. For example, a target region may encompass a 3′ UTR, a 5′ UTR, an exon, an intron, an exon/intron junction, a coding region, a translation initiation region, translation termination region, or other defined nucleic acid region. The structurally defined regions for Tau can be obtained by accession number from sequence databases such as NCBI and such information is incorporated herein by reference. In certain embodiments, a target region may encompass the sequence from a 5′ target site of one target segment within the target region to a 3′ target site of another target segment within the same target region.
Targeting includes determination of at least one target segment to which an antisense compound hybridizes, such that a desired effect occurs. In certain embodiments, the desired effect is a reduction in mRNA target nucleic acid levels. In certain embodiments, the desired effect is reduction of levels of protein encoded by the target nucleic acid or a phenotypic change associated with the target nucleic acid.
A target region may contain one or more target segments. Multiple target segments within a target region may be overlapping. Alternatively, they may be non-overlapping. In certain embodiments, target segments within a target region are separated by no more than about 300 nucleotides. In certain embodiments, target segments within a target region are separated by a number of nucleotides that is, is about, is no more than, is no more than about, 250, 200, 150, 100, 90, 80, 70, 60, 50, 40, 30, 20, or 10 nucleotides on the target nucleic acid, or is a range defined by any two of the preceeding values. In certain embodiments, target segments within a target region are separated by no more than, or no more than about, 5 nucleotides on the target nucleic acid. In certain embodiments, target segments are contiguous. Contemplated are target regions defined by a range having a starting nucleic acid that is any of the 5′ target sites or 3′ target sites listed herein.
Suitable target segments may be found within a 5′ UTR, a coding region, a 3′ UTR, an intron, an exon, or an exon/intron junction. Target segments containing a start codon or a stop codon are also suitable target segments. A suitable target segment may specifically exclude a certain structurally defined region such as the start codon or stop codon.
The determination of suitable target segments may include a comparison of the sequence of a target nucleic acid to other sequences throughout the genome. For example, the BLAST algorithm may be used to identify regions of similarity amongst different nucleic acids. This comparison can prevent the selection of antisense compound sequences that may hybridize in a non-specific manner to sequences other than a selected target nucleic acid (i.e., non-target or off-target sequences).
There may be variation in activity (e.g., as defined by percent reduction of target nucleic acid levels) of the antisense compounds within an active target region. In certain embodiments, reductions in Tau mRNA levels are indicative of inhibition of Tau expression. Reductions in levels of a Tau protein are also indicative of inhibition of target mRNA expression. Reduction of percent of cells staining positive for hyperphosphorylated Tau are indicative of inhibition of Tau expression. Further, phenotypic changes are indicative of inhibition of Tau expression. Improvement in neurological function is indicative of inhibition of Tau expression. Improved memory and motor function are indicative of inhibition of Tau expression. Reduction of neurofibrillary inclusions is indicative of inhibition of Tau expression.
Hybridization
In some embodiments, hybridization occurs between an antisense compound disclosed herein and a Tau nucleic acid. The most common mechanism of hybridization involves hydrogen bonding (e.g., Watson-Crick, Hoogsteen or reversed Hoogsteen hydrogen bonding) between complementary nucleobases of the nucleic acid molecules.
Hybridization can occur under varying conditions. Stringent conditions are sequence-dependent and are determined by the nature and composition of the nucleic acid molecules to be hybridized.
Methods of determining whether a sequence is specifically hybridizable to a target nucleic acid are well known in the art. In certain embodiments, the antisense compounds provided herein are specifically hybridizable with a Tau nucleic acid.
Complementarity
An antisense compound and a target nucleic acid are complementary to each other when a sufficient number of nucleobases of the antisense compound can hydrogen bond with the corresponding nucleobases of the target nucleic acid, such that a desired effect will occur (e.g., antisense inhibition of a target nucleic acid, such as a Tau nucleic acid).
Non-complementary nucleobases between an antisense compound and a Tau nucleic acid may be tolerated provided that the antisense compound remains able to specifically hybridize to a target nucleic acid. Moreover, an antisense compound may hybridize over one or more segments of a Tau nucleic acid such that intervening or adjacent segments are not involved in the hybridization event (e.g., a loop structure, mismatch or hairpin structure).
In certain embodiments, the antisense compounds provided herein, or a specified portion thereof, are, or are at least, 70%, 80%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, or 100% complementary to a Tau nucleic acid, a target region, target segment, or specified portion thereof. Percent complementarity of an antisense compound with a target nucleic acid can be determined using routine methods.
For example, an antisense compound in which 18 of 20 nucleobases of the antisense compound are complementary to a target region, and would therefore specifically hybridize, would represent 90 percent complementarity. In this example, the remaining noncomplementary nucleobases may be clustered or interspersed with complementary nucleobases and need not be contiguous to each other or to complementary nucleobases. As such, an antisense compound which is 18 nucleobases in length having 4 (four) noncomplementary nucleobases which are flanked by two regions of complete complementarity with the target nucleic acid would have 77.8% overall complementarity with the target nucleic acid and would thus fall within the scope of the present invention. Percent complementarity of an antisense compound with a region of a target nucleic acid can be determined routinely using BLAST programs (basic local alignment search tools) and PowerBLAST programs known in the art (Altschul et al., J. Mol. Biol., 1990, 215, 403 410; Zhang and Madden, Genome Res., 1997, 7, 649 656). Percent homology, sequence identity or complementarity, can be determined by, for example, the Gap program (Wisconsin Sequence Analysis Package, Version 8 for Unix, Genetics Computer Group, University Research Park, Madison Wis.), using default settings, which uses the algorithm of Smith and Waterman (Adv. Appl. Math., 1981, 2, 482 489).
In certain embodiments, the antisense compounds provided herein, or specified portions thereof, are fully complementary (i.e., 100% complementary) to a target nucleic acid, or specified portion thereof. For example, an antisense compound may be fully complementary to a Tau nucleic acid, or a target region, or a target segment or target sequence thereof. As used herein, “fully complementary” means each nucleobase of an antisense compound is capable of precise base pairing with the corresponding nucleobases of a target nucleic acid. For example, a 20 nucleobase antisense compound is fully complementary to a target sequence that is 400 nucleobases long, so long as there is a corresponding 20 nucleobase portion of the target nucleic acid that is fully complementary to the antisense compound. Fully complementary can also be used in reference to a specified portion of the first and/or the second nucleic acid. For example, a 20 nucleobase portion of a 30 nucleobase antisense compound can be “fully complementary” to a target sequence that is 400 nucleobases long. The 20 nucleobase portion of the 30 nucleobase oligonucleotide is fully complementary to the target sequence if the target sequence has a corresponding 20 nucleobase portion wherein each nucleobase is complementary to the 20 nucleobase portion of the antisense compound. At the same time, the entire 30 nucleobase antisense compound may or may not be fully complementary to the target sequence, depending on whether the remaining 10 nucleobases of the antisense compound are also complementary to the target sequence.
The location of a non-complementary nucleobase may be at the 5′ end or 3′ end of the antisense compound. Alternatively, the non-complementary nucleobase or nucleobases may be at an internal position of the antisense compound. When two or more non-complementary nucleobases are present, they may be contiguous (i.e., linked) or non-contiguous. In one embodiment, a non-complementary nucleobase is located in the wing segment of a gapmer antisense oligonucleotide.
In certain embodiments, antisense compounds that are, or are up to 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, or 20 nucleobases in length comprise no more than 4, no more than 3, no more than 2, or no more than 1 non-complementary nucleobase(s) relative to a target nucleic acid, such as a Tau nucleic acid, or specified portion thereof
In certain embodiments, antisense compounds that are, or are up to 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, or 30 nucleobases in length comprise no more than 6, no more than 5, no more than 4, no more than 3, no more than 2, or no more than 1 non-complementary nucleobase(s) relative to a target nucleic acid, such as a Tau nucleic acid, or specified portion thereof
The antisense compounds provided herein also include those which are complementary to a portion of a target nucleic acid. As used herein, “portion” refers to a defined number of contiguous (i.e. linked) nucleobases within a region or segment of a target nucleic acid. A “portion” can also refer to a defined number of contiguous nucleobases of an antisense compound. In certain embodiments, the antisense compounds, are complementary to at least an 8 nucleobase portion of a target segment. In certain embodiments, the antisense compounds are complementary to at least a 9 nucleobase portion of a target segment. In certain embodiments, the antisense compounds are complementary to at least a 10 nucleobase portion of a target segment. In certain embodiments, the antisense compounds, are complementary to at least an 11 nucleobase portion of a target segment. In certain embodiments, the antisense compounds, are complementary to at least a 12 nucleobase portion of a target segment. In certain embodiments, the antisense compounds, are complementary to at least a 13 nucleobase portion of a target segment. In certain embodiments, the antisense compounds, are complementary to at least a 14 nucleobase portion of a target segment. In certain embodiments, the antisense compounds, are complementary to at least a 15 nucleobase portion of a target segment. Also contemplated are antisense compounds that are complementary to at least a 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, or more nucleobase portion of a target segment, or a range defined by any two of these values.
Identity
The antisense compounds provided herein may also have a defined percent identity to a particular nucleotide sequence, SEQ ID NO, or compound represented by a specific Isis number, or portion thereof. As used herein, an antisense compound is identical to the sequence disclosed herein if it has the same nucleobase pairing ability. For example, a RNA which contains uracil in place of thymidine in a disclosed DNA sequence would be considered identical to the DNA sequence since both uracil and thymidine pair with adenine. Shortened and lengthened versions of the antisense compounds described herein as well as compounds having non-identical bases relative to the antisense compounds provided herein also are contemplated. The non-identical bases may be adjacent to each other or dispersed throughout the antisense compound. Percent identity of an antisense compound is calculated according to the number of bases that have identical base pairing relative to the sequence to which it is being compared.
In certain embodiments, the antisense compounds, or portions thereof, are at least 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99% or 100% identical to one or more of the antisense compounds or SEQ ID NOs, or a portion thereof, disclosed herein.
In certain embodiments, a portion of the antisense compound is compared to an equal length portion of the target nucleic acid. In certain embodiments, an 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, or 25 nucleobase portion is compared to an equal length portion of the target nucleic acid.
In certain embodiments, a portion of the antisense oligonucleotide is compared to an equal length portion of the target nucleic acid. In certain embodiments, an 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, or 25 nucleobase portion is compared to an equal length portion of the target nucleic acid.
Modifications
A nucleoside is a base-sugar combination. The nucleobase (also known as base) portion of the nucleoside is normally a heterocyclic base moiety. Nucleotides are nucleosides that further include a phosphate group covalently linked to the sugar portion of the nucleoside. For those nucleosides that include a pentofuranosyl sugar, the phosphate group can be linked to the 2′, 3′ or 5′ hydroxyl moiety of the sugar. Oligonucleotides are formed through the covalent linkage of adjacent nucleosides to one another, to form a linear polymeric oligonucleotide. Within the oligonucleotide structure, the phosphate groups are commonly referred to as forming the internucleoside linkages of the oligonucleotide.
Modifications to antisense compounds encompass substitutions or changes to internucleoside linkages, sugar moieties, or nucleobases. Modified antisense compounds are often preferred over native forms because of desirable properties such as, for example, enhanced cellular uptake, enhanced affinity for nucleic acid target, increased stability in the presence of nucleases, or increased inhibitory activity.
Chemically modified nucleosides may also be employed to increase the binding affinity of a shortened or truncated antisense oligonucleotide for its target nucleic acid. Consequently, comparable results can often be obtained with shorter antisense compounds that have such chemically modified nucleosides.
Modified Internucleoside Linkages
The naturally occurring internucleoside linkage of RNA and DNA is a 3′ to 5′ phosphodiester linkage. Antisense compounds having one or more modified, i.e. non-naturally occurring, internucleoside linkages are often selected over antisense compounds having naturally occurring internucleoside linkages because of desirable properties such as, for example, enhanced cellular uptake, enhanced affinity for target nucleic acids, and increased stability in the presence of nucleases.
Oligonucleotides having modified internucleoside linkages include internucleoside linkages that retain a phosphorus atom as well as internucleoside linkages that do not have a phosphorus atom. Representative phosphorus containing internucleoside linkages include, but are not limited to, phosphodiesters, phosphotriesters, methylphosphonates, phosphoramidate, and phosphorothioates. Methods of preparation of phosphorous-containing and non-phosphorous-containing linkages are well known.
In certain embodiments, antisense compounds targeted to a Tau nucleic acid comprise one or more modified internucleoside linkages. In certain embodiments, the modified internucleoside linkages are interspersed throughout the antisense compound. In certain embodiments, the modified internucleoside linkages are phosphorothioate linkages. In certain embodiments, each internucleoside linkage of an antisense compound is a phosphorothioate internucleoside linkage.
Modified Sugar Moieties
Antisense compounds can optionally contain one or more nucleosides wherein the sugar group has been modified. Such sugar modified nucleosides may impart enhanced nuclease stability, increased binding affinity, or some other beneficial biological property to the antisense compounds. In certain embodiments, nucleosides comprise chemically modified ribofuranose ring moieties. Examples of chemically modified ribofuranose rings include without limitation, addition of substitutent groups (including 5′ and 2′ substituent groups, bridging of non-geminal ring atoms to form bicyclic nucleic acids (BNA), replacement of the ribosyl ring oxygen atom with S, N(R), or C(R1)(R2) (R, R1 and R2 are each independently H, C1-C12 alkyl or a protecting group) and combinations thereof. Examples of chemically modified sugars include 2′-F-5′-methyl substituted nucleoside (see PCT International Application WO 2008/101157 Published on Aug. 21, 2008 for other disclosed 5′,2′-bis substituted nucleosides) or replacement of the ribosyl ring oxygen atom with S with further substitution at the 2′-position (see published U.S. Patent Application US2005-0130923, published on Jun. 16, 2005) or alternatively 5′-substitution of a BNA (see PCT International Application WO 2007/134181 Published on Nov. 22, 2007 wherein LNA is substituted with for example a 5′-methyl or a 5′-vinyl group).
Examples of nucleosides having modified sugar moieties include without limitation nucleosides comprising 5′-vinyl, 5′-methyl (R or 5), 4′-S, 2′-F, 2′-OCH3, 2′-OCH2CH3, 2′-OCH2CH2F and 2′-O(CH2)2OCH3 substituent groups. The substituent at the 2′ position can also be selected from allyl, amino, azido, thio, O-allyl, O—C1-C10 alkyl, OCF3, OCH2F, O(CH2)2SCH3, O(CH2)2—O—N(Rm)(Rn), O—CH2—C(═O)—N(Rm)(Rn), and O—CH2—C(═O)—N(R1)—(CH2)2—N(Rm)(Rn), where each Rl, Rm and Rn is, independently, H or substituted or unsubstituted C1-C10 alkyl.
As used herein, “bicyclic nucleosides” refer to modified nucleosides comprising a bicyclic sugar moiety. Examples of bicyclic nucleosides include without limitation nucleosides comprising a bridge between the 4′ and the 2′ ribosyl ring atoms. In certain embodiments, antisense compounds provided herein include one or more bicyclic nucleosides comprising a 4′ to 2′ bridge. Examples of such 4′ to 2′ bridged bicyclic nucleosides, include but are not limited to one of the formulae: 4′-(CH2)—O-2′ (LNA); 4′-(CH2)—S-2; 4′-(CH2)2—O-2′ (ENA); 4′-CH(CH3)—O-2′ and 4′-CH(CH2OCH3)—O-2′ (and analogs thereof see U.S. Pat. No. 7,399,845, issued on Jul. 15, 2008); 4′-C(CH3)(CH3)—O-2′ (and analogs thereof see published International Application WO/2009/006478, published Jan. 8, 2009); 4′-CH2—N(OCH3)-2′ (and analogs thereof see published International Application WO/2008/150729, published Dec. 11, 2008); 4′-CH2—O—N(CH3)-2′ (see published U.S. Patent Application US2004-0171570, published Sep. 2, 2004); 4′-CH2—N(R)—O-2′, wherein R is H, C1-C12 alkyl, or a protecting group (see U.S. Pat. No. 7,427,672, issued on Sep. 23, 2008); 4′-CH2—C(H)(CH3)-2′ (see Chattopadhyaya et al., J. Org. Chem., 2009, 74, 118-134); and 4′-CH2—C—(═CH2)-2′ (and analogs thereof see published International Application WO 2008/154401, published on Dec. 8, 2008).

In Vitro Testing of Antisense Oligonucleotides
Described herein are methods for treatment of cells with antisense oligonucleotides, which can be modified appropriately for treatment with other antisense compounds.
Cells may be treated with antisense oligonucleotides when the cells reach approximately 60-80% confluency in culture.
One reagent commonly used to introduce antisense oligonucleotides into cultured cells includes the cationic lipid transfection reagent LIPOFECTIN (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, Calif.). Antisense oligonucleotides may be mixed with LIPOFECTIN in OPTI-MEM 1 (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, Calif.) to achieve the desired final concentration of antisense oligonucleotide and a LIPOFECTIN concentration that may range from 2 to 12 ug/mL per 100 nM antisense oligonucleotide.
Another reagent used to introduce antisense oligonucleotides into cultured cells includes LIPOFECTAMINE (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, Calif.). Antisense oligonucleotide is mixed with LIPOFECTAMINE in OPTI-MEM 1 reduced serum medium (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, Calif.) to achieve the desired concentration of antisense oligonucleotide and a LIPOFECTAMINE concentration that may range from 2 to 12 ug/mL per 100 nM antisense oligonucleotide.
Another technique used to introduce antisense oligonucleotides into cultured cells includes electroporation.
Cells are treated with antisense oligonucleotides by routine methods. Cells may be harvested 16-24 hours after antisense oligonucleotide treatment, at which time RNA or protein levels of target nucleic acids are measured by methods known in the art and described herein. In general, when treatments are performed in multiple replicates, the data are presented as the average of the replicate treatments.
The concentration of antisense oligonucleotide used varies from cell line to cell line. Methods to determine the optimal antisense oligonucleotide concentration for a particular cell line are well known in the art. Antisense oligonucleotides are typically used at concentrations ranging from 1 nM to 300 nM when transfected with LIPOFECTAMINE. Antisense oligonucleotides are used at higher concentrations ranging from 625 to 20,000 nM when transfected using electroporation.
RNA Isolation
RNA analysis can be performed on total cellular RNA or poly(A)+ mRNA. Methods of RNA isolation are well known in the art. RNA is prepared using methods well known in the art, for example, using the TRIZOL Reagent (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, Calif.) according to the manufacturer's recommended protocols.
Analysis of Inhibition of Target Levels or Expression
Inhibition of levels or expression of a Tau nucleic acid can be assayed in a variety of ways known in the art. For example, target nucleic acid levels can be quantitated by, e.g., Northern blot analysis, competitive polymerase chain reaction (PCR), or quantitative real-time PCR. RNA analysis can be performed on total cellular RNA or poly(A)+ mRNA. Methods of RNA isolation are well known in the art. Northern blot analysis is also routine in the art. Quantitative real-time PCR can be conveniently accomplished using the commercially available ABI PRISM 7600, 7700, or 7900 Sequence Detection System, available from PE-Applied Biosystems, Foster City, Calif. and used according to manufacturer's instructions.
Quantitative Real-Time PCR Analysis of Target RNA Levels
Quantitation of target RNA levels may be accomplished by quantitative real-time PCR using the ABI PRISM 7600, 7700, or 7900 Sequence Detection System (PE-Applied Biosystems, Foster City, Calif.) according to manufacturer's instructions. Methods of quantitative real-time PCR are well known in the art.
Prior to real-time PCR, the isolated RNA is subjected to a reverse transcriptase (RT) reaction, which produces complementary DNA (cDNA) that is then used as the substrate for the real-time PCR amplification. The RT and real-time PCR reactions are performed sequentially in the same sample well. RT and real-time PCR reagents may be obtained from Invitrogen (Carlsbad, Calif.). RT real-time-PCR reactions are carried out by methods well known to those skilled in the art.
Gene (or RNA) target quantities obtained by real time PCR are normalized using either the expression level of a gene whose expression is constant, such as cyclophilin A, or by quantifying total RNA using RIBOGREEN (Invitrogen, Inc. Carlsbad, Calif.). Cyclophilin A expression is quantified by real time PCR, by being run simultaneously with the target, multiplexing, or separately. Total RNA is quantified using RIBOGREEN RNA quantification reagent (Invetrogen, Inc. Eugene, Oreg.). Methods of RNA quantification by RIBOGREEN are taught in Jones, L. J., et al, (Analytical Biochemistry, 1998, 265, 368-374). A CYTOFLUOR 4000 instrument (PE Applied Biosystems) is used to measure RIBOGREEN fluorescence.
Probes and primers are designed to hybridize to a Tau nucleic acid. Methods for designing real-time PCR probes and primers are well known in the art, and may include the use of software such as PRIMER EXPRESS Software (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, Calif.).
Analysis of Protein Levels
Antisense inhibition of Tau nucleic acids can be assessed by measuring Tau protein levels. Protein levels of Tau can be evaluated or quantitated in a variety of ways well known in the art, such as immunoprecipitation, Western blot analysis (immunoblotting), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), quantitative protein assays, protein activity assays (for example, caspase activity assays), immunohistochemistry, immunocytochemistry or fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS). Antibodies directed to a target can be identified and obtained from a variety of sources, such as the MSRS catalog of antibodies (Aerie Corporation, Birmingham, Mich.), or can be prepared via conventional monoclonal or polyclonal antibody generation methods well known in the art.
In Vivo Testing of Antisense Compounds
Antisense compounds, for example, antisense oligonucleotides, are tested in animals to assess their ability to inhibit expression of Tau and produce phenotypic changes, such as, improved cognition and motor function. In certain embodiments, cognition is measured by novel object recognition and nestlet building activity. In certain embodiments, motor function is measured by walking initiation analysis, rotarod, grip strength, pole climb, open field performance, balance beam, hindpaw footprint testing in the animal. In certain embodiments, antisense compounds, for example, antisense oligonucleotides, are tested in animals to assess their ability to reduce hyperphosphorylated tau and neurofibrillary tangles. In certain embodiments, antisense compounds, for example, antisense oligonucleotides, are tested to assess their ability to prevent, and/or reduce severity of, seizures in a pentylenetetrazol (PTZ) induced seizure model.
Testing may be performed in normal animals, or in experimental disease models. For administration to animals, antisense oligonucleotides are formulated in a pharmaceutically acceptable diluent, such as phosphate-buffered saline. Administration includes parenteral routes of administration, such as intraperitoneal, intravenous, and subcutaneous. Calculation of antisense oligonucleotide dosage and dosing frequency is within the abilities of those skilled in the art, and depends upon factors such as route of administration and animal body weight. Following a period of treatment with antisense oligonucleotides, RNA is isolated from CNS tissue or CSF and changes in Tau nucleic acid expression are measured.

EXAMPLES
Non-Limiting Disclosure and Incorporation by Reference
While certain compounds, compositions, and methods described herein have been described with specificity in accordance with certain embodiments, the following examples serve only to illustrate the compounds described herein and are not intended to limit the same. Each of the references recited in the present application is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
Example 1
Antisense Inhibition of Human Tau in HepG2 Cells by MOE Gapmers
Antisense oligonucleotides were designed targeting a tau nucleic acid and were tested for their effects on tau mRNA in vitro. Cultured HepG2 cells were transfected using Lipofectin reagent with 100 nM antisense oligonucleotide. After a treatment period of approximately 24 hours, RNA was isolated from the cells and tau mRNA levels were measured by quantitative real-time PCR. Human primer probe set RTS3104 (forward sequence AAGATTGGGTCCCTGGACAAT, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 10; reverse sequence AGCTTGTGGGTTTCAATCTTTTTATT, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 11; probe sequence CACCCACGTCCCTGGCGGA, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 12) was used to measure mRNA levels. Tau mRNA levels were adjusted according to total RNA content, as measured by RIBOGREEN®. Results are presented as percent inhibition of tau, relative to untreated control cells.
The newly designed chimeric antisense oligonucleotides in the Tables below were designed as 5-10-5 MOE gapmers. The gapmers are 20 nucleosides in length, wherein the central gap segment comprises ten 2′-deoxynucleosides and is flanked by wing segments on the 5′ direction and the 3′ direction comprising five nucleosides each. Each nucleoside in the 5′ wing segment and each nucleoside in the 3′ wing segment has a 2′-MOE modification. The internucleoside linkages throughout each gapmer are phosphorothioate linkages. All cytosine residues throughout each gapmer are 5-methylcytosines. “Start site” indicates the 5′-most nucleoside to which the gapmer is targeted in the human gene sequence. “Stop site” indicates the 3′-most nucleoside to which the gapmer is targeted human gene sequence. Each gapmer listed in Table 1 below is targeted to either the human tau genomic sequence, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 1 (GENBANK Accession No. NT_010783.15 truncated from nucleotides 9240000 to 9381000) or to the human tau mRNA sequence, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 2 (GENBANK Accession No. NM_001123066.3). ‘n/a’ indicates that the oligonucleotide does not target the gene sequence with 100% complementarity. The sequences listed in Table 2 do not target either SEQ ID NO: 1 or 2 with 100% complementarity, but instead target SEQ ID NO: 3 (GENBANK Accession No. NM_016841.4, a variant mRNA sequence which skips exons 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12) or SEQ ID NO: 4 (GENBANK Accession No. NT_010783.14 truncated from nucleotides 2624000 to 2761000).

Example 2
Dose-Dependent Antisense Inhibition of Human Tau in HepG2 Cells by 5-10-5 MOE Gapmers
Gapmers from studies described above exhibiting significant in vitro inhibition of Tau mRNA were selected and tested at various doses in HepG2 cells. Cells were plated at a density of 10,000 cells per well and transfected using Lipofectin reagent with 12.5 nM, 25.0 nM, 50.0 nM, 100.0 nM, or 200.0 nM concentrations of antisense oligonucleotide, as specified in the Table below. After a treatment period of approximately 16 hours, RNA was isolated from the cells and Tau mRNA levels were measured by quantitative real-time PCR. Human primer probe set RTS3104 was used to measure mRNA levels. Tau mRNA levels were adjusted according to total RNA content, as measured by RIBOGREEN®. Results are presented as percent inhibition of tau, relative to untreated control cells. Tau mRNA levels were significantly reduced in a dose-dependent manner in antisense oligonucleotide treated cells.

Example 3
Antisense Inhibition of Human Tau in SH-SY5Y Cells by 5-10-5 MOE Gapmers
Additional antisense oligonucleotides were designed targeting a Tau nucleic acid and were tested for their effects on Tau mRNA in vitro. The antisense oligonucleotides were tested in a series of experiments that had similar culture conditions. The results for each experiment are presented in separate tables shown below. Cultured SH-SY5Y cells were transfected using electroporation with 7,000 nM antisense oligonucleotide. After a treatment period of approximately 24 hours, RNA was isolated from the cells and Tau mRNA levels were measured by quantitative real-time PCR. Human primer probe set RTS3104 was used to measure mRNA levels. Tau mRNA levels were adjusted according to total RNA content, as measured by RIBOGREEN®. Results are presented as percent inhibition of Tau, relative to untreated control cells.
The newly designed chimeric antisense oligonucleotides in the Tables below were designed as 5-10-5 MOE gapmers. The gapmers are 20 nucleosides in length, wherein the central gap segment comprises ten 2′-deoxynucleosides and is flanked by wing segments on the 5′ direction and the 3′ direction comprising five nucleosides each. Each nucleoside in the 5′ wing segment and each nucleoside in the 3′ wing segment has a 2′-MOE modification. The internucleoside linkages throughout each gapmer are phosphorothioate linkages. All cytosine residues throughout each gapmer are 5-methylcytosines. “Start site” indicates the 5′-most nucleoside to which the gapmer is targeted in the human gene sequence. “Stop site” indicates the 3′-most nucleoside to which the gapmer is targeted human gene sequence. Each gapmer listed in the Tables below is targeted to either the human Tau genomic sequence, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 1 (GENBANK Accession No. NT_010783.15 truncated from nucleotides 9240000 to 9381000) or to the human Tau mRNA sequence, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 2 (GENBANK Accession No. NM_001123066.3). ‘n/a’ indicates that the antisense oligonucleotide does not target that particular gene sequence with 100% complementarity.

Example 4
Dose-Dependent Antisense Inhibition of Human Tau in SH-SY5Y Cells by 5-10-5 MOE Gapmers
Gapmers from studies described above exhibiting significant in vitro inhibition of Tau mRNA were selected and tested at various doses in SH-SY-5Y cells. Cells were plated at a density of 20,000 cells per well and transfected using electroporation with 1.25 μM, 2.50 μM, 5.00 μM, 10.00 μM, and 20.00 μM concentrations of antisense oligonucleotide, as specified in the Table below. After a treatment period of approximately 16 hours, RNA was isolated from the cells and Tau mRNA levels were measured by quantitative real-time PCR. Human primer probe set RTS3104 was used to measure mRNA levels. Tau mRNA levels were adjusted according to total RNA content, as measured by RIBOGREEN®. Results are presented as percent inhibition of Tau, relative to untreated control cells. Tau mRNA levels were significantly reduced in a dose-dependent manner in antisense oligonucleotide treated cells.

Example 5
Antisense Inhibition of Human Tau in SH-SY5Y Cells by 5-10-5 MOE Gapmers
Additional antisense oligonucleotides were designed targeting a Tau nucleic acid and were tested for their effects on Tau mRNA in vitro. Cultured SH-SY5Y cells were plated at a density of 20,000 cells per well and were transfected using electroporation with 6,000 nM antisense oligonucleotide. After a treatment period of approximately 24 hours, RNA was isolated from the cells and Tau mRNA levels were measured by quantitative real-time PCR. Human primer probe set RTS3104 was used to measure mRNA levels. Tau mRNA levels were adjusted according to total RNA content, as measured by RIBOGREEN®. Results are presented as percent inhibition of tau, relative to untreated control cells.
The newly designed chimeric antisense oligonucleotides in the Tables below were designed as 5-10-5 MOE gapmers. The gapmers are 20 nucleosides in length, wherein the central gap segment comprises of ten 2′-deoxynucleosides and is flanked by wing segments on the 5′ direction and the 3′ direction comprising five nucleosides each. Each nucleoside in the 5′ wing segment and each nucleoside in the 3′ wing segment has a 2′-MOE modification. The internucleoside linkages throughout each gapmer are phosphorothioate linkages. All cytosine residues throughout each gapmer are 5-methylcytosines. “Start site” indicates the 5′-most nucleoside to which the gapmer is targeted in the human gene sequence. “Stop site” indicates the 3′-most nucleoside to which the gapmer is targeted human gene sequence. Each gapmer listed in the Tables below is targeted to the human tau genomic sequence, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 1 (GENBANK Accession No. NT_010783.15 truncated from nucleotides 9240000 to 9381000).

Example 6
Dose-Dependent Antisense Inhibition of Human Tau in SH-SY5Y Cells by 5-10-5 MOE Gapmers
Gapmers from studies described above exhibiting significant in vitro inhibition of Tau mRNA were selected and tested at various doses in SH-SY-5Y cells. Cells were plated at a density of 20,000 cells per well and transfected using electroporation with 0.625 μM, 1.25 μM, 2.500 μM, 5.00 μM, 10.00 μM, and 20.00 μM concentrations of antisense oligonucleotide, as specified in the Table below. After a treatment period of approximately 16 hours, RNA was isolated from the cells and Tau mRNA levels were measured by quantitative real-time PCR. Human primer probe set RTS3104 was used to measure mRNA levels. Tau mRNA levels were adjusted according to total RNA content, as measured by RIBOGREEN®. Results are presented as percent inhibition of Tau, relative to untreated control cells. Tau mRNA levels were significantly reduced in a dose-dependent manner in antisense oligonucleotide treated cells.

Example 7
Antisense Inhibition of Human Tau in SH-SY5Y Cells by MOE Gapmers with Phosphorothioate and Phosphodiester Internucleoside Linkages
Antisense oligonucleotides were designed targeting a tau nucleic acid and were tested for their effects on tau mRNA in vitro. The antisense oligonucleotides were tested in a series of experiments that had similar culture conditions. The results for each experiment are presented in separate tables shown below. Cultured SH-SY5Y cells were transfected using electroporation with 8,000 nM antisense oligonucleotide. After a treatment period of approximately 24 hours, RNA was isolated from the cells and tau mRNA levels were measured by quantitative real-time PCR. Human primer probe set RTS3104 was used to measure mRNA levels. Tau mRNA levels were adjusted according to total RNA content, as measured by RIBOGREEN®. Results are presented as percent inhibition of tau, relative to untreated control cells.
The newly designed chimeric antisense oligonucleotides in the Tables below were designed as 5-10-5 MOE gapmers. The gapmers are 20 nucleosides in length, wherein the central gap segment comprises of ten 2′-deoxynucleosides and is flanked by wing segments on the 5′ direction and the 3′ direction comprising five nucleosides each. Each nucleoside in the 5′ wing segment and each nucleoside in the 3′ wing segment has a 2′-MOE modification. The internucleoside linkages throughout each gapmer are either phosphorothioate linkages or phosphodiester linkages. All cytosine residues throughout each gapmer are 5-methylcytosines. The ‘Chemistry’ column describes the internucleoside linkages of each oligonucleotide. ‘s’ indicates phosphorothioate linkage and ‘o’ indicates phosphodiester linkage. “Start site” indicates the 5′-most nucleoside to which the gapmer is targeted in the human gene sequence. “Stop site” indicates the 3′-most nucleoside to which the gapmer is targeted human gene sequence.
Each gapmer listed in the Tables below is targeted to either the human Tau genomic sequence, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 1 (GENBANK Accession No. NT_010783.15 truncated from nucleotides 9240000 to 9381000), human Tau mRNA sequences, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 2 (GENBANK Accession No. NM_001123066.3) or SEQ ID NO: 3 (GENBANK Accession No. NM_016841.4). Several oligonucleotides, presented in Tables 10, 12, and 16, target variant mRNA sequences, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 5 (GENBANK Accession No. DR002467.1), SEQ ID NO: 6 (GENBANK Accession No. NM_001203251.1) or SEQ ID NO: 7 (GENBANK Accession No. NM_016835.4). The oligonucleotides are presented in the various tables according to the main gene sequence that they target with 100% complementarity. ‘n/a’ indicates that the antisense oligonucleotide does not target that particular gene sequence with 100% complementarity.

Example 8
Dose-Dependent Antisense Inhibition of Human Tau in SH-SY5Y Cells by 5-10-5 MOE Gapmers with Phosphorothioate and Phosphodiester Internucleoside Linkages
Gapmers from studies described above exhibiting significant in vitro inhibition of tau mRNA were selected and tested at various doses in SH-SY-5Y cells. Cells were plated at a density of 20,000 cells per well and transfected using electroporation with 1.25 μM, 2.500 μM, 5.00 μM, 10.00 μM, and 20.00 μM concentrations of antisense oligonucleotide, as specified in the Table below. After a treatment period of approximately 16 hours, RNA was isolated from the cells and Tau mRNA levels were measured by quantitative real-time PCR. Human primer probe set RTS3104 was used to measure mRNA levels. Tau mRNA levels were adjusted according to total RNA content, as measured by RIBOGREEN®. Results are presented as percent inhibition of Tau, relative to untreated control cells. Tau mRNA levels were significantly reduced in a dose-dependent manner in antisense oligonucleotide treated cells.

Example 9
Antisense Inhibition of Human Tau in SH-SY5Y Cells by 5-10-5 MOE, 5-8-5 MOE, 4-8-6 MOE, or 6-8-4 MOE Gapmers
Antisense oligonucleotides were designed targeting a tau nucleic acid and were tested for their effects on Tau mRNA in vitro. The antisense oligonucleotides were tested in a series of experiments that had similar culture conditions. ISIS 613412 was also included in the assays. The results for each experiment are presented in separate tables shown below. Cultured SH-SY5Y cells at a density of 20,000 cells per well were transfected using electroporation with 8,000 nM antisense oligonucleotide. After a treatment period of approximately 24 hours, RNA was isolated from the cells and Tau mRNA levels were measured by quantitative real-time PCR. Human primer probe set RTS3104 was used to measure mRNA levels. Tau mRNA levels were adjusted according to total RNA content, as measured by RIBOGREEN®). Results are presented as percent inhibition of tau, relative to untreated control cells.
The newly designed chimeric antisense oligonucleotides in the Tables below were designed as 5-8-5 MOE, 4-8-6 MOE, or 6-8-4 MOE gapmers. The 5-8-5 MOE gapmers are 18 nucleosides in length, wherein the central gap segment comprises of eight 2′-deoxynucleosides and is flanked by wing segments on the 5′ direction and the 3′ direction comprising five nucleosides each. The 4-8-6 MOE gapmers are 18 nucleosides in length, wherein the central gap segment comprises of eight 2′-deoxynucleosides and is flanked by wing segments on the 5′ direction and the 3′ direction comprising four and six nucleosides respectively. The 6-8-4 MOE gapmers are 18 nucleosides in length, wherein the central gap segment comprises of eight 2′-deoxynucleosides and is flanked by wing segments on the 5′ direction and the 3′ direction comprising six and four nucleosides respectively. Each nucleoside in the 5′ wing segment and each nucleoside in the 3′ wing segment has a 2′-MOE modification. The internucleoside linkage motif throughout for each gapmer in the tables below, except for ISIS 613412, is 5′-sooosssssssssooss-3′, wherein each “s” represents a phosphorothioate internucleoside linkage and wherein each “o” represents a phosphodiester internucleoside linkage. The internucleoside linkage motif for ISIS 613412 is 5′-soooossssssssssooss-3′, wherein each “s” represents a phosphorothioate internucleoside linkage and wherein each “o” represents a phosphodiester internucleoside linkage. All cytosine residues throughout each gapmer are 5-methylcytosines. “Start site” indicates the 5′-most nucleoside to which the gapmer is targeted in the human gene sequence. “Stop site” indicates the 3′-most nucleoside to which the gapmer is targeted human gene sequence. Each gapmer listed in the Tables below is targeted to either SEQ ID NO: 1 (GENBANK Accession No. NT_010783.15 truncated from nucleotides 9240000 to 9381000), SEQ ID NO: 4 (GENBANK Accession No. NT_010783.14 truncated from nucleotides 2624000 to 2761000), SEQ ID NO: 5 (GENBANK Accession No. DR002467.1), or SEQ ID NO: 6 (GENBANK Accession No. NM_001203251.1). ‘n/a.’ indicates that the antisense oligonucleotide does not target that particular gene sequence with 100% complementarity.

Example 11
Dose-Dependent Antisense Inhibition of Human Tau in SH-SY5Y Cells
Gapmers from studies described above exhibiting significant in vitro inhibition of tau mRNA were selected and tested at various doses in SH-SY5Y cells. The antisense oligonucleotides were tested in a series of experiments that had similar culture conditions. The results for each experiment are presented in separate tables shown below. Cells were plated at a density of 20,000 cells per well and transfected using electroporation with 0.938 μM, 0.1.875 μM, 3.750 μM, 7.500 μM, and 15.00 μM concentrations of antisense oligonucleotide, as specified in the Tables below. After a treatment period of approximately 16 hours, RNA was isolated from the cells and tau mRNA levels were measured by quantitative real-time PCR. Human primer probe set RTS3104 was used to measure mRNA levels. Tau mRNA levels were adjusted according to total RNA content, as measured by RIBOGREEN®. Results are presented as percent inhibition of tau, relative to untreated control cells. Tau mRNA levels were significantly reduced in a dose-dependent manner in antisense oligonucleotide treated cells.

Example 12
Antisense Inhibition of Human Tau in HepG2 Cells by 5-10-5 MOE, 5-8-5 MOE, 4-8-6 MOE, or 6-8-4 MOE Gapmers
Antisense oligonucleotides were designed targeting a tau nucleic acid and were tested for their effects on tau mRNA in vitro. The antisense oligonucleotides were tested in a series of experiments that had similar culture conditions. ISIS 613412 was also included in the assays. The results for each experiment are presented in separate tables shown below. Cultured HepG2 cells at a density of 20,000 cells per well were transfected using electroporation with 8,000 nM antisense oligonucleotide. After a treatment period of approximately 24 hours, RNA was isolated from the cells and tau mRNA levels were measured by quantitative real-time PCR. Human primer probe set RTS3104 was used to measure mRNA levels. Tau mRNA levels were adjusted according to total RNA content, as measured by RIBOGREEN®. Results are presented as percent inhibition of tau, relative to untreated control cells.
The newly designed chimeric antisense oligonucleotides in the Tables below were designed as 5-8-5 MOE, 4-8-6 MOE, or 6-8-4 MOE gapmers. The 5-8-5 MOE gapmers are 18 nucleosides in length, wherein the central gap segment comprises of eight 2′-deoxynucleosides and is flanked by wing segments on the 5′ direction and the 3′ direction comprising five nucleosides each. The 4-8-6 MOE gapmers are 18 nucleosides in length, wherein the central gap segment comprises of eight 2′-deoxynucleosides and is flanked by wing segments on the 5′ direction and the 3′ direction comprising four and six nucleosides respectively. The 6-8-4 MOE gapmers are 18 nucleosides in length, wherein the central gap segment comprises of eight 2′-deoxynucleosides and is flanked by wing segments on the 5′ direction and the 3′ direction comprising six and four nucleosides respectively. Each nucleoside in the 5′ wing segment and each nucleoside in the 3′ wing segment has a 2′-MOE modification. The internucleoside linkage motif throughout for each gapmer in the tables below, except for ISIS 613412, is 5′-sooosssssssssooss-3′, wherein each “s” represents a phosphorothioate internucleoside linkage and wherein each “o” represents a phosphodiester internucleoside linkage. The internucleoside linkage motif for ISIS 613412 is 5′-soooossssssssssooss-3′, wherein each “s” represents a phosphorothioate internucleoside linkage and wherein each “o” represents a phosphodiester internucleoside linkage. All cytosine residues throughout each gapmer are 5-methylcytosines. “Start site” indicates the 5′-most nucleoside to which the gapmer is targeted in the human gene sequence. “Stop site” indicates the 3′-most nucleoside to which the gapmer is targeted human gene sequence. Each gapmer listed in the Tables below is targeted to human tau genomic sequence, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 1 (GENBANK Accession No. NT_010783.15 truncated from nucleotides 9240000 to 9381000).

Example 13
Dose-Dependent Antisense Inhibition of Human Tau in SH-SY5Y Cells by MOE Gapmers
Gapmers from studies described above exhibiting significant in vitro inhibition of tau mRNA were selected and tested at various doses in SH-SY5Y cells. The antisense oligonucleotides were tested in a series of experiments that had similar culture conditions. The results for each experiment are presented in separate tables shown below. Cells were plated at a density of 20,000 cells per well and transfected using electroporation with 0.938 μM, 0.1.875 μM, 3.750 μM, 7.500 μM, and 15.00 μM concentrations of antisense oligonucleotide, as specified in the Tables below. After a treatment period of approximately 16 hours, RNA was isolated from the cells and tau mRNA levels were measured by quantitative real-time PCR. Human primer probe set RTS3104 was used to measure mRNA levels. Tau mRNA levels were adjusted according to total RNA content, as measured by RIBOGREEN®. Results are presented as percent inhibition of tau, relative to untreated control cells. Tau mRNA levels were significantly reduced in a dose-dependent manner in antisense oligonucleotide treated cells.

Example 14
Design of 5-7-6 MOE, 5-8-5 MOE, 5-9-5 MOE, and 5-10-5 MOE Gapmers with Phosphorothioate and Phosphodiester Internucleoside Linkages at a Hot Spot Region of Human Tau
Antisense oligonucleotides were designed targeting a tau nucleic acid at a region identified as a ‘hotspot’ in the studies above.
The newly designed chimeric antisense oligonucleotides in the Table below were designed as 5-7-6 MOE, 5-8-5 MOE, 5-9-5 MOE, or 5-10-5 MOE gapmers. The 5-7-6 MOE gapmers are 18 nucleosides in length, wherein the central gap segment comprises of seven 2′-deoxynucleosides and is flanked by wing segments on the 5′ direction and the 3′ direction comprising five and six nucleosides respectively. The 5-8-5 MOE gapmers are 18 nucleosides in length, wherein the central gap segment comprises of eight 2′-deoxynucleosides and is flanked by wing segments on the 5′ direction and the 3′ direction comprising five nucleosides each. The 5-9-5 MOE gapmers are 19 nucleosides in length, wherein the central gap segment comprises of nine 2′-deoxynucleosides and is flanked by wing segments on the 5′ direction and the 3′ direction comprising five nucleosides each. The 5-10-5 MOE gapmers are 20 nucleosides in length, wherein the central gap segment comprises of ten 2′-deoxynucleosides and is flanked by wing segments on the 5′ direction and the 3′ direction comprising five nucleosides each. Each nucleoside in the 5′ wing segment and each nucleoside in the 3′ wing segment has a 2′-MOE modification. The internucleoside linkages throughout each gapmer are either phosphorothioate linkages or phosphodiester linkages. The ‘Chemistry’ column describes the internucleoside linkages of each oligonucleotide. ‘s’ indicates phosphorothioate linkage and ‘o’ indicates phosphodiester linkage. All cytosine residues throughout each gapmer are 5-methylcytosines.
“Start site” indicates the 5′-most nucleoside to which the gapmer is targeted in the human gene sequence. “Stop site” indicates the 3′-most nucleoside to which the gapmer is targeted in the human gene sequence. Each gapmer listed in the Table below is targeted to either the human tau genomic sequence, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 1 (GENBANK Accession No. NT_010783.15 truncated from nucleotides 9240000 to 9381000) or to the human tau mRNA sequence, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 2 (GENBANK Accession No. NM_001123066.3). ‘n/a’ indicates that the antisense oligonucleotide does not target that particular gene sequence with 100% complementarity.

Example 15
Intracerebroventricular Administration of Antisense Oligonucleotides Against Human Tau mRNA in Htau Mice
Selected compounds were tested for efficacy by ICV administration in human tau transgenic mice (Duff et al., Neurobiology of Disease 7:87-98, 2000).
Treatment and Surgery
Groups of 4 mice each were administered ISIS 613255, ISIS 613329, ISIS 613344, ISIS 613361, ISIS 613369, ISIS 613370, ISIS 613397, ISIS 613045, ISIS 613099, ISIS 613118, ISIS 613136 with a 200 μg dose delivered by ICV bolus injection. A control group of 2 mice was similarly treated with ISIS 424880 and a control group of 4 mice was similarly treated with PBS. All procedures were performed under isoflourane anesthesia and in accordance with IACUC regulations. For mouse ICV bolus injections, the antisense oligonucleotide was injected into the right lateral ventricle of human tau transgenic mice. Ten microliters of solution containing 300 μg of oligonucleotide in PBS was injected over approximately 10 seconds. Tissue was collected 14 days after oligonucleotide administration.
RNA Analysis
On day 14 after the oligonucleotide administration, RNA was extracted from the hippocampus, spinal cord and cortex for real-time PCR analysis of tau mRNA levels. Human tau mRNA levels were measured using the human primer probe set RTS3104. Results were calculated as percent inhibition of human tau mRNA expression compared to the control. All the antisense oligonucleotides effect significant inhibition of human tau mRNA levels.

Example 16
Antisense Inhibition of Human Tau in SH-SY5Y Cells 5-7-6 MOE, 5-8-5 MOE, 5-9-5 MOE, and 5-10-5 MOE Gapmers
The antisense oligonucleotides described in the Examples above, as well as newly designed antisense oligonucleotides targeting a human tau nucleic acid, were tested in a series of experiments that had similar culture conditions. The results for each experiment are presented in separate tables shown below.
Cultured SH-SY5Y cells were transfected using electroporation with 8,000 nM antisense oligonucleotide. After a treatment period of approximately 24 hours, RNA was isolated from the cells and tau mRNA levels were measured by quantitative real-time PCR. Human primer probe set RTS3104 was used to measure mRNA levels. Tau mRNA levels were adjusted according to total RNA content, as measured by RIBOGREEN®. Results are presented as percent inhibition of tau, relative to untreated control cells.
The newly designed chimeric antisense oligonucleotides in the Tables below were designed as 5-7-6 MOE, 5-8-5 MOE, 5-9-5 MOE, or 5-10-5 MOE gapmers. The 5-7-6 MOE gapmers are 18 nucleosides in length, wherein the central gap segment comprises of seven 2′-deoxynucleosides and is flanked by wing segments on the 5′ direction and the 3′ direction comprising five and six nucleosides respectively. The 5-8-5 MOE gapmers are 18 nucleosides in length, wherein the central gap segment comprises of eight 2′-deoxynucleosides and is flanked by wing segments on the 5′ direction and the 3′ direction comprising five nucleosides each. The 5-9-5 MOE gapmers are 19 nucleosides in length, wherein the central gap segment comprises of nine 2′-deoxynucleosides and is flanked by wing segments on the 5′ direction and the 3′ direction comprising five nucleosides each. The 5-10-5 MOE gapmers are 20 nucleosides in length, wherein the central gap segment comprises of ten 2′-deoxynucleosides and is flanked by wing segments on the 5′ direction and the 3′ direction comprising five nucleosides each. Each nucleoside in the 5′ wing segment and each nucleoside in the 3′ wing segment has a 2′-MOE modification. The internucleoside linkages throughout each gapmer are either phosphorothioate linkages or phosphodiester linkages. The ‘Linkage Chemistry’ column describes the internucleoside linkages of each oligonucleotide. ‘s’ indicates phosphorothioate linkage and ‘o’ indicates phosphodiester linkage. All cytosine residues throughout each gapmer are 5-methylcytosines.
“Start site” indicates the 5′-most nucleoside to which the gapmer is targeted in the human gene sequence. “Stop site” indicates the 3′-most nucleoside to which the gapmer is targeted in the human gene sequence. Each gapmer listed in the Table below is targeted to either the human tau genomic sequence, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 1 (GENBANK Accession No. NT_010783.15 truncated from nucleotides 9240000 to 9381000) or to the human tau mRNA sequence, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 2 (GENBANK Accession No. NM_001123066.3). ‘n/a’ indicates that the antisense oligonucleotide does not target that particular gene sequence with 100% complementarity.

Example 17
Dose-Dependent Antisense Inhibition of Human Tau in SH-SY5Y Cells
Gapmers from studies described above exhibiting significant in vitro inhibition of tau mRNA were selected and tested at various doses in SH-SY5Y cells. The antisense oligonucleotides were tested in a series of experiments that had similar culture conditions. The results for each experiment are presented in separate tables shown below. Cells were plated at a density of 20,000 cells per well and transfected using electroporation with 0.247 μM, 0.741 μM, 2.22 μM, 6.67 μM, and 20.00 μM concentrations of antisense oligonucleotide, as specified in the Tables below. After a treatment period of approximately 16 hours, RNA was isolated from the cells and tau mRNA levels were measured by quantitative real-time PCR. Human primer probe set RTS3104 was used to measure mRNA levels. Tau mRNA levels were adjusted according to total RNA content, as measured by RIBOGREEN®. Results are presented as percent inhibition of tau, relative to untreated control cells. Tau mRNA levels were significantly reduced in a dose-dependent manner in antisense oligonucleotide treated cells.

Intracerebroventricular Administration of Antisense Oligonucleotides Against Human Tau mRNA in Htau Mice
Selected compounds were tested for efficacy by ICV administration in human tau transgenic mice (Duff et al., Neurobiology of Disease 7:87-98, 2000).
Treatment and Surgery
Groups of 4 mice each were administered ISIS 613099, ISIS 613361, ISIS 613370, ISIS 623782, or ISIS 623996 with a 200 μg dose delivered by ICV bolus injection. A control group of 2 mice was similarly treated with ISIS 424880 and a control group of 4 mice was similarly treated with PBS. All procedures were performed under isoflourane anesthesia and in accordance with IACUC regulations. For mouse ICV bolus injections, the antisense oligonucleotide was injected into the right lateral ventricle of human tau transgenic mice. Ten microliters of solution containing 200 μg of oligonucleotide in PBS was injected over approximately 10 seconds. Tissue was collected 14 days after oligonucleotide administration.
RNA Analysis
On day 14 after the oligonucleotide administration, RNA was extracted from the hippocampus, spinal cord and cortex for real-time PCR analysis of tau mRNA levels. Human tau mRNA levels were measured using the human primer probe set RTS3104. Results were calculated as percent inhibition of human tau mRNA expression compared to the control. All the antisense oligonucleotides effect significant inhibition of human tau mRNA levels in several tissues.

Example 20
In Vivo Analysis in Mice of Oligonucleotides Targeting Human Tau
Oligonucleotides, shown in the table below, were designed to target Tau. Mice, either human tau transgenic mice “hTau” (Duff et al., Neurobiology of Disease 7:87-98, 2000; Davies et al. J. Neurochem. (2003) 86, 582-590) or wild-type WT C57B16 mice were separated into groups of 3 or 4 mice. Each mouse in each group of mice was administered a single ICV dose of either 300 ug or 200 ug each of the oligonucleotides in the table below. At 3 hours post injection, each mouse was evaluated according to 7 different criteria. The 7 criteria are (1) the mouse was bright, alert, and responsive; (2) the mouse was standing or hunched without stimuli; (3) the mouse shows any movement without stimuli (4) the mouse demonstrates forward movement after its lifted; (5) the mouse demonstrates any movement after its lifted; (6) the mouse responds to a tail pinch; (7) regular breathing. For each of the 7 different criteria, each mouse was given a sub-score of 0 if it met the criteria or 1 if it did not. After all of the 7 criteria were evaluated, the sub-scores were summed for each mouse and then averaged for each group. For example, if a mouse was bright, alert, and responsive 3 hours after the 300 μg ICV dose, and met all other criteria, it would get a summed score of 0. If another mouse was not bright, alert, and responsive 3 hours after the 300 μg ICV dose but met all other criteria, it would receive a score of 1. Saline treated mice generally receive a score of 0. Results are presented as the average score for each treatment group in Table 67 below. “ND” means no data. These results demonstrate that ISIS 613099, ISIS 613361, ISIS 613370, ISIS 623782, ISIS 623996, ISIS 424880, and ISIS 603054 were well tolerated.

In Vivo Analysis in Rats of Oligonucleotides Targeting Human Tau
Sprague Dawley rats were separated into groups of 4 rats each. Each rat in each group of rats was administered a single 1 mg intrathecal (IT) dose or a single 3 mg intrathecal (IT) dose of ISIS 613099, ISIS 613361, ISIS 613370, ISIS 623782, ISIS 623996, ISIS 424880, or ISIS 603054. At 3 hours after injection, the movement of 7 different parts of the body was evaluated for each rat. The 7 body parts are (1) the rat's tail; (2) the rat's posterior posture; (3) the rat's hind limbs; (4) the rat's hind paws; (5) the rat's forepaws; (6) the rat's anterior posture; and (7) the rat's head. For each of the 7 different body parts, each rat was given a sub-score of 0 if the body part was moving or 1 if the body part was paralyzed. After each of the 7 body parts were evaluated, the sub-scores were summed for each rat and then averaged for each group. For example, if a rat's tail, head, and all other evaluated body parts were moving 3 hours after the 3 mg IT dose, it would get a summed score of 0. If another rat was not moving its tail 3 hours after the 3 mg IT dose but all other evaluated body parts were moving, it would receive a score of 1. Saline treated rats generally receive a score of 0. A score of at the top end of the range would be suggestive of toxicity. Results are presented as the average score for each treatment group in Table 68 below.
