The present application is being filed along with a Sequence Listing in electronic format. The Sequence Listing is provided as a file entitled CORE0061USA9C1SEQ.TXT, created on Sep. 9, 2010 which is 684 Kb in size. The information in the electronic format of the sequence listing is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
BACKGROUND
Targeting disease-causing gene sequences was first suggested nearly 40 years ago (Belikova et al., Tet. Lett., 1967, 37, 3557-3562), and antisense activity was demonstrated in cell culture a decade later (Zamecnik et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A., 1978, 75, 280-284). One advantage of antisense technology in the treatment of a disease or condition that stems from a disease-causing gene is that it is a direct genetic approach that has the ability to modulate expression of specific disease-causing genes.
Generally, the principle behind antisense technology is that an antisense compound hybridizes to a target nucleic acid and effects modulation of gene expression activity or function, such as transcription, translation or splicing. The modulation of gene expression can be achieved by, for example, target degradation or occupancy-based inhibition. An example of modulation of RNA target function by degradation is RNase H-based degradation of the target RNA upon hybridization with a DNA-like antisense compound. Another example of modulation of gene expression by target degradation is RNA interference (RNAi). RNAi is a form of antisense-mediated gene silencing involving the introduction of dsRNA leading to the sequence-specific reduction of targeted endogenous mRNA levels. Sequence-specificity makes antisense compounds extremely attractive as tools for target validation and gene functionalization, as well as research tools for identifying and characterizing nucleases and as therapeutics to selectively modulate the expression of genes involved in the pathogenesis of any one of a variety of diseases.
Antisense technology is an effective means for reducing the expression of one or more specific gene products and can therefore prove to be uniquely useful in a number of therapeutic, diagnostic, and research applications. Chemically modified nucleosides are routinely used for incorporation into antisense compounds to enhance one or more properties, such as nuclease resistance, pharmacokinetics or affinity for a target RNA.
Despite the expansion of knowledge since the discovery of antisense technology, there remains an unmet need for antisense compounds with greater efficacy, reduced toxicity and lower cost. Until the present disclosure, high-affinity modifications have not been employed in the design of short antisense compounds for reducing target RNA in vivo. This is because of concerns regarding the degree of target specificity that a sequence 15 nucleotides or shorter would have when employed to reduce target in a living system. Previous studies have described that greater specificity, and therefore greater potential for potency, is achieved by antisense compounds between 16 and 20 nucleobases in length.
The present disclosure describes incorporation of chemically-modified high-affinity nucleotides into antisense compounds allows for short antisense compounds about 8-16 nucleobases in length useful in the reduction of target RNAs in animals with increased potency and improved therapeutic index. Thus, provided herein are short antisense compounds comprising high-affinity nucleotide modifications useful for reducing a target RNA in vivo. Such short antisense compounds are effective at lower doses than previously described antisense compounds, allowing for a reduction in toxicity and cost of treatment.

For example, in RNA, adenine (A) is complementary to uracil (U). In certain embodiments, complementary nucleobase refers to a nucleobase of an antisense compound that is capable of base pairing with a nucleobase of its target nucleic acid. For example, if a nucleobase at a certain position of an antisense compound is capable of hydrogen bonding with a nucleobase at a certain position of a target nucleic acid, then the position of hydrogen bonding between the oligonucleotide and the target nucleic acid is considered to be complementary at that nucleobase pair.
As used herein, the term “non-complementary nucleobase” refers to a pair of nucleobases that do not form hydrogen bonds with one another or otherwise support hybridization.
As used herein, the term “complementary” refers to the capacity of an oligomeric compound to hybridize to another oligomeric compound or nucleic acid through nucleobase complementarity. In certain embodiments, an antisense compound and its target are complementary to each other when a sufficient number of corresponding positions in each molecule are occupied by nucleobases that can bond with each other to allow stable association between the antisense compound and the target. One skilled in the art recognizes that the inclusion of mismatches is possible without eliminating the ability of the oligomeric compounds to remain in association. Therefore, described herein are antisense compounds that may comprise up to about 20% nucleotides that are mismatched (i.e., are not nucleobase complementary to the corresponding nucleotides of the target). Preferably the antisense compounds contain no more than about 15%, more preferably not more than about 10%, most preferably not more than 5% or no mismatches. The remaining nucleotides are nucleobase complementary or otherwise do not disrupt hybridization (e.g., universal bases). One of ordinary skill in the art would recognize the compounds provided herein are at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, at least 99% or 100% complementary to a target nucleic acid.
As used herein, the term “mismatch” refers to a non-complementary nucleobase within a complementary oligomeric compound.
As used herein, “hybridization” means the pairing of complementary oligomeric compounds (e.g., an antisense compound and its target nucleic acid). While not limited to a particular mechanism, the most common mechanism of pairing involves hydrogen bonding, which may be Watson-Crick, Hoogsteen or reversed Hoogsteen hydrogen bonding, between complementary nucleoside or nucleotide bases (nucleobases). For example, the natural base adenine is nucleobase complementary to the natural nucleobases thymidine and uracil which pair through the formation of hydrogen bonds. The natural base guanine is nucleobase complementary to the natural bases cytosine and 5-methyl cytosine. Hybridization can occur under varying circumstances.
As used herein, the term “specifically hybridizes” refers to the ability of an oligomeric compound to hybridize to one nucleic acid site with greater affinity than it hybridizes to another nucleic acid site. In certain embodiments, an antisense oligonucleotide specifically hybridizes to more than one target site.
As used herein, “designing” or “designed to” refer to the process of designing an oligomeric compound that specifically hybridizes with a selected nucleic acid molecule.
As used herein, the term “modulation” refers to a perturbation of function or activity when compared to the level of the function or activity prior to modulation. For example, modulation includes the change, either an increase (stimulation or induction) or a decrease (inhibition or reduction) in gene expression. As further example, modulation of expression can include perturbing splice site selection of pre-mRNA processing.
As used herein, the term “expression” refers to all the functions and steps by which a gene's coded information is converted into structures present and operating in a cell. Such structures include, but are not limited to the products of transcription and translation.

Variants also include, but are not limited to, those with alternate splice junctions, or alternate initiation and termination codons.
As used herein, “high-affinity modified monomer” refers to a monomer having at least one modified nucleobase, internucleoside linkage or sugar moiety, when compared to naturally occurring monomers, such that the modification increases the affinity of an antisense compound comprising the high-affinity modified monomer to its target nucleic acid. High-affinity modifications include, but are not limited to, monomers (e.g., nucleosides and nucleotides) comprising 2′-modified sugars.
As used herein, the term “2′-modified” or “2′-substituted” means a sugar comprising substituent at the 2′ position other than H or OH. 2′-modified monomers, include, but are not limited to, BNA's and monomers (e.g., nucleosides and nucleotides) with 2′-substituents, such as allyl, amino, azido, thio, O-allyl, O—C1-C10 alkyl, —OCF3, O—(CH2)2—O—CH3, 2′-O(CH2)2SCH3, O—(CH2)2—O—N(Rm)(Rn), or O—CH2—C(═O)—N(Rm)(Rn), where each Rm and Rn is, independently, H or substituted or unsubstituted C1-C10 alkyl.

Thus, in certain embodiments, the nucleotide linkages in each of the wings are different than the nucleotide linkages in the gap. In certain embodiments, each wing comprises nucleotides with high affinity modifications and the gap comprises nucleotides that do not comprise that modification. In certain embodiments the nucleotides in the gap and the nucleotides in the wings all comprise high affinity modifications, but the high affinity modifications in the gap are different than the high affinity modifications in the wings. In certain embodiments, the modifications in the wings are the same as one another. In certain embodiments, the modifications in the wings are different from each other. In certain embodiments, nucleotides in the gap are unmodified and nucleotides in the wings are modified. In certain embodiments, the modification(s) in each wing are the same.

The linkage can be a methylene (—CH2—) group bridging the 2′ oxygen atom and the 4′ carbon atom, for which the term methyleneoxy (4′-CH2—O-2′) BNA is used for the bicyclic moiety; in the case of an ethylene group in this position, the term ethyleneoxy (4′-CH2CH2—O-2′) BNA is used (Singh et al., Chem. Commun., 1998, 4, 455-456: Morita et al., Bioorganic Medicinal Chemistry, 2003, 11, 2211-2226). Methyleneoxy (4′-CH2—O-2′) BNA and other bicyclic sugar analogs display very high duplex thermal stabilities with complementary DNA and RNA (Tm=+3 to +10° C.), stability towards 3′-exonucleolytic degradation and good solubility properties. Potent and nontoxic antisense oligonucleotides comprising BNAs have been described (Wahlestedt et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A., 2000, 97, 5633-5638).
An isomer of methyleneoxy (4′-CH2—O-2′) BNA that has also been discussed is alpha-L-methyleneoxy (4′-CH2—O-2′) BNA which has been shown to have superior stability against a 3′-exonuclease. The alpha-L-methyleneoxy (4′-CH2—O-2′) BNA's were incorporated into antisense gapmers and chimeras that showed potent antisense activity (Frieden et al., Nucleic Acids Research, 2003, 21, 6365-6372).
The synthesis and preparation of the methyleneoxy (4′-CH2—O-2′) BNA monomers adenine, cytosine, guanine, 5-methyl-cytosine, thymine and uracil, along with their oligomerization, and nucleic acid recognition properties have been described (Koshkin et al., Tetrahedron, 1998, 54, 3607-3630). BNAs and preparation thereof are also described in WO 98/39352 and WO 99/14226.
Analogs of methyleneoxy (4′-CH2—O-2′) BNA, phosphorothioate-methyleneoxy (4′-CH2—O-2′) BNA and 2′-thio-BNAs, have also been prepared (Kumar et al., Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett., 1998, 8, 2219-2222). Preparation of locked nucleoside analogs comprising oligodeoxyribonucleotide duplexes as substrates for nucleic acid polymerases has also been described (Wengel et al., WO 99/14226). Furthermore, synthesis of 2′-amino-BNA, a novel conformationally restricted high-affinity oligonucleotide analog has been described in the art (Singh et al., J. Org. Chem., 1998, 63, 10035-10039). In addition, 2′-Amino- and 2′-methylamino-BNA's have been prepared and the thermal stability of their duplexes with complementary RNA and DNA strands has been previously reported.
Modified sugar moieties are well known and can be used to alter, typically increase, the affinity of the antisense compound for its target and/or increase nuclease resistance. A representative list of preferred modified sugars includes but is not limited to bicyclic modified sugars (BNA's), including methyleneoxy (4′-CH2—O-2′) BNA and ethyleneoxy (4′-(CH2)2—O-2′ bridge) BNA; substituted sugars, especially 2′-substituted sugars having a 2′-F, 2′-OCH3 or a 2′-O(CH2)2—OCH3 substituent group; and 4′-thio modified sugars. Sugars can also be replaced with sugar mimetic groups among others. Methods for the preparations of modified sugars are well known to those skilled in the art. Some representative patents and publications that teach the preparation of such modified sugars include, but are not limited to, U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,981,957; 5,118,800; 5,319,080; 5,359,044; 5,393,878; 5,446,137; 5,466,786; 5,514,785; 5,519,134; 5,567,811; 5,576,427; 5,591,722; 5,597,909; 5,610,300; 5,627,053; 5,639,873; 5,646,265; 5,658,873; 5,670,633; 5,792,747; 5,700,920; 6,531,584; and 6,600,032; and WO 2005/121371.

Methods of synthesis of sugar, nucleoside and nucleobase mimetics are well known to those skilled in the art.
3. Monomeric Linkages
Described herein are linking groups that link monomers (including, but not limited to, modified and unmodified nucleosides and nucleotides) together, thereby forming an oligomeric compound. The two main classes of linking groups are defined by the presence or absence of a phosphorus atom. Representative phosphorus containing linkages include, but are not limited to, phosphodiesters (P═O), phosphotriesters, methylphosphonates, phosphoramidate, and phosphorothioates (P═S). Representative non-phosphorus containing linking groups include, but are not limited to, methylenemethylimino (—CH2—N(CH3)—O—CH2—), thiodiester (—O—C(O)—S—), thionocarbamate (—O—C(O)(NH)—S—); siloxane (—O—Si(H)2—O—); and N,N′-dimethylhydrazine (—CH2—N(CH3)—N(CH3)—). Oligomeric compounds having non-phosphorus linking groups are referred to as oligonucleosides. Modified linkages, compared to natural phosphodiester linkages, can be used to alter, typically increase, nuclease resistance of the oligomeric compound. In certain embodiments, linkages having a chiral atom can be prepared a racemic mixtures, as separate enantomers. Representative chiral linkages include, but are not limited to, alkylphosphonates and phosphorothioates. Methods of preparation of phosphorous-containing and non-phosphorous-containing linkages are well known to those skilled in the art.
The oligomeric compounds described herein contain one or more asymmetric centers and thus give rise to enantiomers, diastereomers, and other stereoisomeric configurations that may be defined, in terms of absolute stereochemistry, as (R) or (S), α or β such as for sugar anomers, or as (D) or (L) such as for amino acids et al. Included in the antisense compounds provided herein are all such possible isomers, as well as their racemic and optically pure forms.
4. Oligomeric Compounds
In certain embodiments, provided herein are oligomeric compounds having reactive phosphorus groups useful for forming linkages including for example phosphodiester and phosphorothioate internucleoside linkages. Methods of preparation and/or purification of precursors or oligomeric compounds are not a limitation of the compositions or methods provided herein. Methods for synthesis and purification of oligomeric compounds including DNA, RNA, oligonucleotides, oligonucleosides, and antisense compounds are well known to those skilled in the art.
Generally, oligomeric compounds comprise a plurality of monomeric subunits linked together by linking groups. Nonlimiting examples of oligomeric compounds include primers, probes, antisense compounds, antisense oligonucleotides, external guide sequence (EGS) oligonucleotides, alternate splicers, and siRNAs. As such, these compounds can be introduced in the form of single-stranded, double-stranded, circular, branched or hairpins and can contain structural elements such as internal or terminal bulges or loops. Oligomeric double-stranded compounds can be two strands hybridized to form double-stranded compounds or a single strand with sufficient self complementarity to allow for hybridization and formation of a fully or partially double-stranded compound.
In certain embodiments, the present invention provides chimeric oligomeric compounds. In certain such embodiments, chimeric oligomeric compounds are chimeric oligonucleotides. In certain such embodiments, the chimeric oligonucleotides comprise differently modified nucleotides. In certain embodiments, chimeric oligonucleotides are mixed-backbone antisense oligonucleotides.
In general a chimeric oligomeric compound will have modified nucleosides that can be in isolated positions or grouped together in regions that will define a particular motif. Any combination of modifications and/or mimetic groups can comprise a chimeric oligomeric compound as described herein.
In certain embodiments, chimeric oligomeric compounds typically comprise at least one region modified so as to confer increased resistance to nuclease degradation, increased cellular uptake, and/or increased binding affinity for the target nucleic acid. In certain embodiments, an additional region of the oligomeric compound may serve as a substrate for enzymes capable of cleaving RNA:DNA or RNA:RNA hybrids. By way of example, RNase H is a cellular endonuclease that cleaves the RNA strand of an RNA:DNA duplex. Activation of RNase H, therefore, results in cleavage of the RNA target, thereby greatly enhancing the efficiency of inhibition of gene expression. Consequently, comparable results can often be obtained with shorter oligomeric compounds when chimeras are used, compared to for example phosphorothioate deoxyoligonucleotides hybridizing to the same target region. Cleavage of the RNA target can be routinely detected by gel electrophoresis and, if necessary, associated nucleic acid hybridization techniques known in the art.
In certain embodiments, chimeric oligomeric compounds are gapmers. In certain embodiments, chimeric compounds are short antisense compounds. In certain embodiments, short antisense compounds are gapmers. In certain such embodiments, a mixed-backbone antisense oligomer has one type of internucleotide linkages in one or both wings and a different type of internucleotide linkages in the gap. In certain such embodiments, the mixed-backbone antisense oligonucleotide has phosphodiester linkages in the wings and phosphorothioate linkages in the gap. In certain embodiments in which the internucleotide linkages in a wing is different from the internucleotide linkages in the gap, the internucleotide linkage bridging that wing and the gap is the same as the internucleotide linkage in the wing. In certain embodiments in which the internucleotide linkages in a wing is different from the internucleotide linkages in the gap, the internucleotide linkage bridging that wing and the gap is the same as the internucleotide linkage in the gap.
C. CERTAIN SHORT ANTISENSE COMPOUNDS
Disclosed herein are short antisense compounds 8 to 16, preferably 9 to 15, more preferably 9 to 14, more preferably 10 to 14 nucleotides in length. In certain embodiments, short antisense compounds are 9 to 14 nucleotides in length. In certain embodiments, short antisense compounds are 10 to 14 nucleotides in length. In certain embodiments, such short antisense compounds are short antisense oligonucleotides.
In certain embodiments, short antisense compounds comprise one or more chemical modifications. In certain such embodiments, short antisense compounds comprise at least one modified nucleotide. In certain embodiments short antisense compounds comprise at least two or more modified nucleotides. In certain embodiments, short antisense compounds comprise at least one modified internucleotide linkage. In certain embodiments, short antisense compounds are mixed-backbone oligonucleotides. In certain embodiments, short antisense compounds are chimeric oligonucleotides. In certain embodiments, short antisense oligonucleotides are uniformly modified. In certain embodiments, short antisense oligonucleotides comprise modifications independently selected at each nucleobase and at each linkage.
In certain embodiments, short antisense compounds are short gapmers. In certain such embodiments, short gapmers comprise at least one high affinity modification in one or more wings of the compound. In certain embodiments, short antisense compounds comprise 1 to 3 high-affinity modifications in each wing. In certain embodiments, high affinity modifications of the short antisense compounds allow for a target affinity similar to, or even greater than, the target affinity of longer antisense compounds. In certain embodiments, the high-affinity modified nucleotides are sugar modified nucleotides. Such sugar modified nucleotides include those comprising a bridge between the 4′ and 2′ position of the sugar. Exemplary high affinity sugar modifications include, but are not limited to, BNA s and other 2′-modifications such as 2′-MOE. In an alternate embodiment of the invention, the high affinity modification is not a 2′-O—(CH2)nH (n=1-6) sugar-modified nucleotide. In an additional alternate embodiment, the high affinity modified nucleotide is not a 2′-OCH3 or a 2′-OCH2CH2OCH3 nucleotide. In certain embodiments, the high-affinity modified nucleotides confer a ΔTm of at least 1, at least 1.5, at least 2, at least 2.5, at least 3.0, at least 3.5 or at least 4.0 degrees per nucleotide. Some high-affinity nucleotide modifications are known in the art to increase toxicity. As shown herein, short antisense compounds having a limited number (generally 2 to 6) of high affinity modifications exhibit little to no increase in toxicity but retain or increase affinity for the target RNA, while also significantly reducing expression of the RNA target. Short antisense compounds of the invention may optionally comprise a conjugate group, such as, for example, cholesterol or C1-6.
1. Certain Wings
In certain embodiments, the short antisense compounds comprise a 5′ wing and/or a 3′ wing. In such embodiments, the features of the 3′ wing and the features of the 5′ wing are selected independently. Thus, in such embodiments, the number of monomers in the 5′ wing and the number of monomers (length) in the 3′ wing may be the same or may be different; the modifications, if any, in the 5′ wing may be the same as the modifications, if any, in the 3′ wing or such modifications, if any, may be different; and the monomeric linkages in the 5′ wing and the monomeric linkages in the 3′ wing may be the same or they may be different.
In certain embodiments a wing comprises one, two or three monomers (i.e. has a length of 1, 2, or 3). In certain embodiments, the monomers of a wing are modified. In certain such embodiments, the monomers of the wing are modified to increase affinity of the antisense compound for its target nucleic acid. In certain embodiments, the monomers of a wing are nucleosides or nucleotides. In certain such embodiments, the nucleosides or nucleotides of the wing comprise a 2′ modification. In certain such embodiments, the monomers (nucleosides or nucleotides) of the wing are BNA's. In certain such embodiments, the monomers of the wing are selected from α-L-Methyleneoxy (4′-CH2—O-2′) BNA, β-D-Methyleneoxy (4′-CH2—O-2′) BNA, Ethyleneoxy (4′-(CH2)2—O-2′) BNA, Aminooxy (4′-CH2—O—N(R)-2′) BNA and Oxyamino (4′-CH2—N(R)—O-2′) BNA.

In certain embodiments, the monomers of a wing are 2′MOE nucleotides.
In certain embodiments, the monomeric linkages in a wing are naturally occurring internucleotide linkages. In certain embodiments, the monomeric linkages in a wing are non-naturally occurring internucleotide or internucleoside linkages. In certain such embodiments, the monomeric linkages in the wing are more resistant to one or more nucleases than naturally occurring internucleotide linkages. In certain such embodiments, the monomeric linkages in the wing are phosphorothioate linkages (P═S). In certain embodiments where a wing has more than one monomeric linkage, the monomeric linkages are the same as one another. In certain embodiments where a wing has more than one monomers linkage, the monomers linkages are different from each other.
One of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that the features and modifications discussed above may be used in any combination to prepare a wing. The table below provides non-limiting examples showing how one might prepare a wing by selecting a certain number of monomers, monomeric modifications (if any), and monomeric linkages both within the wing.

In certain embodiments, gap modifications (if any) gap result in an antisense compound that, when bound to its target nucleic acid, supports cleavage by an RNase, including, but not limited to, RNase H.
In certain embodiments, the monomeric linkages in the gap are naturally occurring internucleotide linkages. In certain embodiments, the monomeric linkages in the gap are non-naturally occurring linkages. In certain such embodiments, the monomeric linkages in the gap are more resistant to one or more nuclease than naturally occurring internucleotide linkages. In certain such embodiments, the monomeric linkages in the gap are phosphorothioate linkages (P═S). In certain embodiments, the monomeric linkages in the gap are all the same as one another. In certain embodiments, the monomeric linkages within the gap are not all the same.
One of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that the features and modifications discussed above may be used in any combination to prepare a gap.

3. Certain Gapped Antisense Oligomeric Compounds
One of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that the wings and the gaps discussed above may be selected and then combined in a variety of combinations to generate gapped oligomeric compounds, including, but not limited to, gapped antisense oligomeric compounds, and gapped antisense oligonucleotides. The features (length, modifications, linkages) of the 5′ wing and the 3′ wing may be selected independently of one another. The features of the gap include at least one difference in modification compared to the features of the 5′ wing and at least one difference compared to the features of the 3′ wing (i.e., there must be at least one difference in modification between neighboring regions to distinguish those neighboring regions from one another). The features of the gap may otherwise be selected independently.
In certain embodiments, the monomeric linkages within a wing and the monomeric linkages within the gap are the same. In certain embodiments, the monomeric linkages within a wing and the monomeric linkages within the gap are different. In certain such embodiments, the monomeric linkage bridging the wing and the gap are the same as the monomeric linkages in the wing. In certain embodiments, the monomeric linkage bridging the wing and the gap are the same as the monomeric linkages in the gap. In certain embodiments, short antisense compounds have uniform linkages throughout the compound. In certain such embodiments, all of the linkages are phosphorothioate (P═S) linkages.
One of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that the 3′ wings, 5′ wings, gaps, and linkages discussed above may be used in any combination to prepare a gapmer.

4. Certain Conjugate Groups
In one aspect, oligomeric compounds are modified by covalent attachment of one or more conjugate groups. In general, conjugate groups modify one or more properties of the attached oligomeric compound including but not limited to pharmacodynamic, pharmacokinetic, binding, absorption, cellular distribution, cellular uptake, charge and clearance. Conjugate groups are routinely used in the chemical arts and are linked directly or via an optional linking moiety or linking group to a parent compound such as an oligomeric compound. A preferred list of conjugate groups includes without limitation, intercalators, reporter molecules, polyamines, polyamides, polyethylene glycols, thioethers, polyethers, cholesterols, thiocholesterols, cholic acid moieties, folate, lipids, phospholipids, biotin, phenazine, phenanthridine, anthraquinone, adamantane, acridine, fluoresceins, rhodamines, coumarins and dyes.
Preferred conjugate groups amenable to the present invention include lipid moieties such as a cholesterol moiety (Letsinger et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 1989, 86, 6553); cholic acid (Manoharan et al., Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett., 1994, 4, 1053); a thioether, e.g., hexyl-5-tritylthiol (Manoharan et al., Ann. N.Y. Acad. Sci., 1992, 660, 306; Manoharan et al., Bioorg. Med. Chem. Let., 1993, 3, 2765); a thiocholesterol (Oberhauser et al., Nucl. Acids Res, 1992, 20, 533); an aliphatic chain, e.g., dodecandiol or undecyl residues (Saison-Behmoaras et al., EMBO J., 1991, 10, 111; Kabanov et al., FEBS Lett., 1990, 259, 327; Svinarchuk et al., Biochimie, 1993, 75, 49); a phospholipid, e.g., di-hexadecyl-rac-glycerol or triethyl-ammonium-1,2-di-O-hexadecyl-rac-glycero-3-H-phosphonate (Manoharan et al., Tetrahedron Lett., 1995, 36, 3651; Shea et al., Nucl. Acids Res., 1990, 18, 3777); a polyamine or a polyethylene glycol chain (Manoharan et al., Nucleosides & Nucleotides, 1995, 14, 969); adamantane acetic acid (Manoharan et al., Tetrahedron Lett., 1995, 36, 3651); a palmityl moiety (Mishra et al., Biochim. Biophys. Acta, 1995, 1264, 229); or an octadecylamine or hexylamino-carbonyl-oxycholesterol moiety (Crooke et al., J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther., 1996, 277, 923).
Linking groups or bifunctional linking moieties such as those known in the art are amenable to the compounds provided herein. Linking groups are useful for attachment of chemical functional groups, conjugate groups, reporter groups and other groups to selective sites in a parent compound such as for example an oligomeric compound. In general a bifunctional linking moiety comprises a hydrocarbyl moiety having two functional groups. One of the functional groups is selected to bind to a parent molecule or compound of interest and the other is selected to bind essentially any selected group such as chemical functional group or a conjugate group. In some embodiments, the linker comprises a chain structure or an oligomer of repeating units such as ethylene glycol or amino acid units. Examples of functional groups that are routinely used in a bifunctional linking moiety include, but are not limited to, electrophiles for reacting with nucleophilic groups and nucleophiles for reacting with electrophilic groups. In some embodiments, bifunctional linking moieties include amino, hydroxyl, carboxylic acid, thiol, unsaturations (e.g., double or triple bonds), and the like. Some nonlimiting examples of bifunctional linking moieties include 8-amino-3,6-dioxaoctanoic acid (ADO), succinimidyl 4-(N-maleimidomethyl)cyclohexane-1-carboxylate (SMCC) and 6-aminohexanoic acid (AHEX or AHA). Other linking groups include, but are not limited to, substituted C1-C10 alkyl, substituted or unsubstituted C2-C10 alkenyl or substituted or unsubstituted C2-C10 alkynyl, wherein a nonlimiting list of preferred substituent groups includes hydroxyl, amino, alkoxy, carboxy, benzyl, phenyl, nitro, thiol, thioalkoxy, halogen, alkyl, aryl, alkenyl and alkynyl.
5. Synthesis Purification and Analysis
Oligomerization of modified and unmodified nucleosides and nucleotides can be routinely performed according to literature procedures for DNA (Protocols for Oligonucleotides and Analogs, Ed. Agrawal (1993), Humana Press) and/or RNA (Scaringe, Methods (2001), 23, 206-217. Gait et al., Applications of Chemically synthesized RNA in RNA: Protein Interactions, Ed. Smith (1998), 1-36. Gallo et al., Tetrahedron (2001), 57, 5707-5713).
Oligomeric compounds provided herein can be conveniently and routinely made through the well-known technique of solid phase synthesis. Equipment for such synthesis is sold by several vendors including, for example, Applied Biosystems (Foster City, Calif.). Any other means for such synthesis known in the art may additionally or alternatively be employed. It is well known to use similar techniques to prepare oligonucleotides such as the phosphorothioates and alkylated derivatives. The invention is not limited by the method of antisense compound synthesis.
Methods of purification and analysis of oligomeric compounds are known to those skilled in the art. Analysis methods include capillary electrophoresis (CE) and electrospray-mass spectroscopy. Such synthesis and analysis methods can be performed in multi-well plates. The method of the invention is not limited by the method of oligomer purification.
D. ANTISENSE
Antisense mechanisms are all those involving the hybridization of a compound with target nucleic acid, wherein the outcome or effect of the hybridization is either target degradation or target occupancy with concomitant stalling of the cellular machinery involving, for example, transcription or splicing.
One type of antisense mechanism involving target degradation includes an RNase H. RNase H is a cellular endonuclease which cleaves the RNA strand of an RNA:DNA duplex. It is known in the art that single-stranded antisense compounds which are “DNA-like” elicit RNAse H activity in mammalian cells. Activation of RNase H, therefore, results in cleavage of the RNA target, thereby greatly enhancing the efficiency of DNA-like oligonucleotide-mediated inhibition of gene expression.
In certain embodiments, chemically-modified antisense compounds have a higher affinity for target RNAs than does non-modified DNA. In certain such embodiments, that higher affinity in turn provides increased potency allowing for the administration of lower doses of such compounds, reduced potential for toxicity and improvement in therapeutic index and decreased overall cost of therapy.
The present disclosure demonstrates that the incorporation of chemically-modified high-affinity nucleotides and nucleosides into antisense compounds allows for the design of short antisense compounds 8-16 nucleobases in length useful for the reduction of target RNAs and/or target proteins in cells, tissues, and animals, including, but not limited to, humans with increased potency and improved therapeutic index. Thus, in certain embodiments, provided herein are short antisense compounds comprising high-affinity nucleotide modifications useful for reducing a target RNA in vivo. Certain such short antisense compounds are effective at lower doses than previously described antisense compounds, allowing for a reduction in toxicity and cost of treatment. In addition, certain short antisense compounds have greater potential for oral dosing.
To address the need for more potent antisense compounds, provided herein are short antisense compounds (8-16, preferably 9 to 15, more preferably 9 to 14, more preferably 10 to 14 nucleotides in length) with increased activity in vivo relative to longer compounds. Certain short antisense compounds are gapmer compounds comprising high-affinity chemically-modified nucleotides on the 3′ and 5′ ends (wings) of the compound. In certain embodiments, the addition of high-affinity modified nucleotides allows antisense compounds to be active against, and specific for, their intended target RNA in vivo despite being shorter in length. Contemplated herein are short antisense compounds wherein each of the wings independently comprises 1 to 3 high-affinity modified nucleotides. In certain embodiments, the high-affinity modifications are sugar modifications. High-affinity modified nucleotides include, but are not limited to, BNA s or other 2′-modified nucleotides, such as 2′-MOE nucleotides. Also contemplated are short antisense compounds having at least one modified internucleotide linkage, such as a phosphorothioate internucleotide linkage. In certain embodiments, the short antisense compounds of the present invention can have all phosphorothioate internucleoside linkages. The short antisense compounds optionally comprise a conjugate group. As shown herein, short antisense compounds have greater affinity for target RNA than they have for DNA and are significantly more potent in vivo as shown by reduction of target mRNA as well as by amelioration of a variety of disease indications.
As used herein, an RNA which is involved in regulating glucose metabolism or clearance, lipid metabolism, cholesterol metabolism or insulin metabolism is any RNA involved in the biochemical pathways that regulate these processes. Such RNAs are well known in the art. Examples of target genes include, but are not limited to, ApoB-100 (also known as APOB; Ag(x) antigen; apoB-48; apolipoprotein B; apolipoprotein B-100; apolipoprotein B48) and GCGR (also known as glucagon receptor; GR), CRP, DGAT2, GCCR, PCSK9, PTEN, PTP1B, SGLT2, and SOD1.
1. Modulation of Target Expression
In certain embodiments, a target is identified and antisense oligonucleotides are designed to modulate that target or its expression. In certain embodiments, designing an oligomeric compound to a target nucleic acid molecule can be a multistep process. Typically the process begins with the identification of a target protein, the activity of which is to be modulated, and then identifying the nucleic acid the expression of which yields the target protein. In certain embodiments, designing of an antisense compound results in an antisense compound that is hybridizable to the targeted nucleic acid molecule. In certain embodiments, the antisense compound is an antisense oligonucleotide or antisense oligonucleoside. In certain embodiments, an antisense compound and a target nucleic acid are complementary to one another. In certain such embodiments, an antisense compound is perfectly complementary to a target nucleic acid. In certain embodiments, an antisense compound includes one mismatch. In certain embodiments, an antisense compound includes two mismatches. In certain embodiments, an antisense compound includes three or more mismatches.
Modulation of expression of a target nucleic acid can be achieved through alteration of any number of nucleic acid functions. In certain embodiments, the functions of RNA to be modulated include, but are not limited to, translocation functions, which include, but are not limited to, translocation of the RNA to a site of protein translation, translocation of the RNA to sites within the cell which are distant from the site of RNA synthesis, and translation of protein from the RNA. RNA processing functions that can be modulated include, but are not limited to, splicing of the RNA to yield one or more RNA species, capping of the RNA, 3′ maturation of the RNA and catalytic activity or complex formation involving the RNA which may be engaged in or facilitated by the RNA. Modulation of expression can result in the increased level of one or more nucleic acid species or the decreased level of one or more nucleic acid species, either temporally or by net steady state level. Thus, in one embodiment modulation of expression can mean increase or decrease in target RNA or protein levels. In another embodiment modulation of expression can mean an increase or decrease of one or more RNA splice products, or a change in the ratio of two or more splice products.
In certain embodiments, expression of a target gene is modulated using an oligomeric compound comprising from about 8 to about 16, preferably 9 to 15, more preferably 9 to 14, more preferably 10 to 14 monomers (i.e. from about 8 to about 16 linked monomers). One of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that this comprehends methods of modulating expression of a target gene using one or more antisense compounds of 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 or 16 nucleobases.
In certain embodiments, methods of modulating a target gene comprises use of a short antisense compound that is 8 nucleobases in length. In certain embodiments, methods of modulating a target gene comprises use of a short antisense compound that is 9 nucleobases in length. In certain embodiments, methods of modulating a target gene comprises use of a short antisense compound that is 8 nucleobases in length. In certain embodiments, methods of modulating a target gene comprises use of a short antisense compound that is 10 nucleobases in length. In certain embodiments, methods of modulating a target gene comprises use of a short antisense compound that is 10 nucleobases in length. In certain embodiments, methods of modulating a target gene comprises use of a short antisense compound that is 11 nucleobases in length. In certain embodiments, methods of modulating a target gene comprises use of a short antisense compound that is 12 nucleobases in length. In certain embodiments, methods of modulating a target gene comprises use of a short antisense compound that is 13 nucleobases in length. In certain embodiments, methods of modulating a target gene comprises use of a short antisense compound that is 14 nucleobases in length. In certain embodiments, methods of modulating a target gene comprises use of a short antisense compound that is 15 nucleobases in length. In certain embodiments, methods of modulating a target gene comprises use of a short antisense compound that is 16 nucleobases in length.
In certain embodiments, methods of modulating expression of a target gene comprises use of a short antisense compound comprising 9 to 15 monomers. In certain embodiments, methods of modulating expression of a target gene comprises use of a short antisense compound comprising 10 to 15 monomers. In certain embodiments, methods of modulating expression of a target gene comprises use of a short antisense compound comprising 12 to 14 monomers. In certain embodiments, methods of modulating expression of a target gene comprises use of a short antisense compound comprising 12 or 14 nucleotides or nucleosides.
2. Hybridization
In certain embodiments, antisense compounds specifically hybridize when there is a sufficient degree of complementarity to avoid non-specific binding of the antisense compound to non-target nucleic acid sequences under conditions in which specific binding is desired, i.e., under physiological conditions in the case of in vivo assays or therapeutic treatment, and under conditions in which assays are performed in the case of in vitro assays.
As used herein, “stringent hybridization conditions” or “stringent conditions” refers to conditions under which an antisense compound will hybridize to its target sequence, but to a minimal number of other sequences. Stringent conditions are sequence-dependent and will be different in different circumstances, and “stringent conditions” under which antisense compounds hybridize to a target sequence are determined by the nature and composition of the antisense compounds and the assays in which they are being investigated.
3. Complementarity
It is understood in the art that incorporation of nucleotide affinity modifications may allow for a greater number of mismatches compared to an unmodified compound. Similarly, certain oligonucleotide sequences may be more tolerant to mismatches than other oligonucleotide sequences. One of ordinary skill in the art is capable of determining an appropriate number of mismatches between oligonucleotides, or between an oligonucleotide and a target nucleic acid, such as by determining melting temperature (Tm). Tm or ΔTm can be calculated by techniques that are familiar to one of ordinary skill in the art. For example, techniques described in Freier et al. (Nucleic Acids Research, 1997, 25, 22: 4429-4443) allow one of ordinary skill in the art to evaluate nucleotide modifications for their ability to increase the melting temperature of an RNA:DNA duplex.
4. Identity
Antisense compounds, or a portion thereof, may have a defined percent identity to a SEQ ID NO, or a compound having a specific Isis number. As used herein, a sequence is identical to the sequence disclosed herein if it has the same nucleobase pairing ability. For example, an RNA which contains uracil in place of thymidine in the disclosed sequences of the compounds described herein would be considered identical as they both pair with adenine. This identity may be over the entire length of the oligomeric compound, or in a portion of the antisense compound (e.g., nucleobases 1-20 of a 27-mer may be compared to a 20-mer to determine percent identity of the oligomeric compound to the SEQ ID NO. It is understood by those skilled in the art that an antisense compound need not have an identical sequence to those described herein to function similarly to the antisense compound described herein. Shortened versions of antisense compounds taught herein, or non-identical versions of the antisense compounds taught herein, are also provided herein. Non-identical versions are those wherein each base does not have the same pairing activity as the antisense compounds disclosed herein. Bases do not have the same pairing activity by being shorter or having at least one abasic site. Alternatively, a non-identical version can include at least one base replaced with a different base with different pairing activity (e.g., G can be replaced by C, A, or T). Percent identity is calculated according to the number of bases that have identical base pairing corresponding to the SEQ ID NO or antisense compound to which it is being compared. The non-identical bases may be adjacent to each other, dispersed through out the oligonucleotide, or both.
For example, a 16-mer having the same sequence as nucleobases 2-17 of a 20-mer is 80% identical to the 20-mer. Alternatively, a 20-mer containing four nucleobases not identical to the 20-mer is also 80% identical to the 20-mer. A 14-mer having the same sequence as nucleobases 1-14 of an 18-mer is 78% identical to the 18-mer. Such calculations are well within the ability of those skilled in the art.
The percent identity is based on the percent of nucleobases in the original sequence present in a portion of the modified sequence. Therefore, a 30 nucleobase antisense compound comprising the full sequence of the complement of a 20 nucleobase active target segment would have a portion of 100% identity with the complement of the 20 nucleobase active target segment, while further comprising an additional 10 nucleobase portion. In the context of the instant description, the complement of an active target segment may constitute a single portion. In preferred embodiments, the oligonucleotides provided herein are at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, at least 99% or 100% identical to at least a portion of the complement of the active target segments presented herein.

The targeting process usually includes determination of at least one target region, segment, or site within the target nucleic acid for the antisense interaction to occur such that the desired effect will result.
In certain embodiments, the 5′-most nucleotide of a target region is the 5′ target site of a short antisense compound and the 3′-most nucleotide of a target region is the 3′ target site of the same short antisense compound. In certain embodiments, the 5′-most nucleotide of a target region is the 5′ target site of a short antisense compound and the 3′-most nucleotide of a target region is the 3′ target site of a different short antisense compound. In certain embodiments, a target region comprises a nucleotide sequence within 10, 15, or 20 nucleotides of a 5′ target site or a 3′ target site.
In certain embodiments, a target region is a structurally defined region of the nucleic acid. For example, in certain such embodiments, a target region may encompass a 3′ UTR, a 5′ UTR, an exon, an intron, a coding region, a translation initiation region, translation termination region, or other defined nucleic acid region.
The locations on the target nucleic acid defined by having one or more active short antisense compounds targeted thereto are referred to as “active target segments.” In certain embodiments, the target nucleic acid having one or more active short antisense compounds targeted thereto is a target RNA. When an active target segment is defined by multiple short antisense compounds, the compounds are preferably separated by no more than about 10 nucleotides on the target sequence, more preferably no more than about 5 nucleotides on the target sequence, even more preferably the short antisense compounds are contiguous, most preferably the short antisense compounds are overlapping. There may be substantial variation in activity (e.g., as defined by percent inhibition) of the short antisense compounds within an active target segment. Active short antisense compounds are those that modulate the expression of their target nucleic acid, including but not limited to a target RNA. Active short antisense compounds inhibit expression of their target RNA at least 10%, preferably 20%. In a preferred embodiment, at least about 50%, preferably about 70% of the short antisense compounds targeted to the active target segment modulate expression of their target RNA at least 40%. In a more preferred embodiment, the level of inhibition required to define an active short antisense compound is defined based on the results from the screen used to define the active target segments.
A suitable target segment is at least about an 8-nucleobase portion of a target region to which an active short antisense compound is targeted. Target segments can include DNA or RNA sequences that comprise at least the 8 consecutive nucleobases from the 5′-terminus of one of the illustrative target segments (the remaining nucleobases being a consecutive stretch of the same DNA or RNA beginning immediately upstream of the 5′-terminus of the target segment and continuing until the DNA or RNA comprises about 8 to about 16 nucleobases). Target segments are also represented by DNA or RNA sequences that comprise at least the 8 consecutive nucleobases from the 3′-terminus of one of the illustrative target segments (the remaining nucleobases being a consecutive stretch of the same DNA or RNA beginning immediately downstream of the 3′-terminus of the target segment and continuing until the DNA or RNA comprises about 8 to about 16 nucleobases). It is also understood that antisense target segments may be represented by DNA or RNA sequences that comprise at least 8 consecutive nucleobases from an internal portion of the sequence of an illustrative target segment, and may extend in either or both directions until the short antisense compound comprises about 8 to about 16 nucleobases. One having skill in the art armed with the target segments illustrated herein will be able, without undue experimentation, to identify further target segments.
Once one or more target regions, segments or sites have been identified, short antisense compounds are chosen which are sufficiently complementary to the target, i.e., hybridize sufficiently well and with sufficient specificity, to give the desired effect.
The short antisense compounds may also be targeted to regions of the target nucleobase sequence comprising any consecutive nucleobases 8 to 16 nucleobases in length along the target nucleic acid molecule.
Target segments 8-16 nucleobases in length comprising a stretch of at least eight (8) consecutive nucleobases selected from within the illustrative target segments are considered to be suitable for targeting as well. Thus, the short antisense compounds may also encompass 8-16 nucleobases within those segments identified herein as beginning at a particular 5′ target site. Any segment of 8, 9, 10, 11, or more preferably 12, 13, 14, 15 or 16 contiguous nucleobases in a 50, preferably 25, more preferably 16 nucleobase perimeter around these regions are also considered to be suitable for targeting.
In a further embodiment, the “suitable target segments” identified herein may be employed in a screen for additional short antisense compounds that modulate the expression of a target nucleic acid. “Modulators” are those compounds that decrease or increase the expression of a target nucleic acid and which comprise at least an 8-nucleobase portion which is complementary to a target segment. The screening method comprises the steps of contacting a target segment of a nucleic acid with one or more candidate modulators, and selecting for one or more candidate modulators which decrease or increase the expression of a target nucleic acid. Once it is shown that the candidate modulator or modulators are capable of modulating (e.g. either decreasing or increasing) the expression of a target nucleic acid, the modulator may then be employed in further investigative studies of the function of the target, or for use as a research, diagnostic, or therapeutic agent in accordance with the present invention.
For all short antisense compounds discussed herein, sequence, monomer, monomeric modification, and monomeric linkage may each be selected independently. In certain embodiments, short antisense compounds are described by a motif. In such embodiments, any motif may be used with any sequence, whether or not the sequence and/or the motif is specifically disclosed herein. In certain embodiments, short antisense compounds comprise modifications that are not amenable to description by motif (for example, short antisense compounds comprising several different modifications and/or linkages at various positions throughout the compound). Such combinations may be incorporated for any sequence, whether or not it is disclosed herein. The sequence listing accompanying this filing provides certain nucleic acid sequences independent of chemical modification. Though that listing identifies each sequence as either “RNA” or “DNA” as required, in reality, those sequences may be modified with any combination of chemical modifications and/or motifs.
In certain embodiments, short antisense compounds comprise at least one high-affinity modified monomer. In certain embodiments, provided are short antisense compounds targeted to nucleic acid molecules encoding targets including, but not limited to, ApoB-100 (also known as APOB; Ag(x) antigen; apoB48; apolipoprotein B; apolipoprotein B-100; apolipoprotein B48), GCGR (also known as glucagon receptor; GR), CRP, DGAT2, GCCR, PCSK9, PTEN, PTP1B, SGLT2, and SOD1.

Thus, provided herein are methods of treating cardiovascular or metabolic disorders by contacting said kidney or liver tissues with short antisense compounds targeted to RNAs associated with said disorders. Thus, also provided are methods for ameliorating any of a variety of metabolic or cardiovascular disease indications with the short antisense compounds of the present invention.
1. ApoB
ApoB (also known as apolipoprotein B-100; ApoB-100, apolipoprotein B-48; ApoB-48 and Ag(x) antigen), is a large glycoprotein that serves an indispensable role in the assembly and secretion of lipids and in the transport and receptor-mediated uptake and delivery of distinct classes of lipoproteins. ApoB performs a variety of activities, from the absorption and processing of dietary lipids to the regulation of circulating lipoprotein levels (Davidson and Shelness, Annu. Rev. Nutr., 2000, 20, 169-193). This latter property underlies its relevance in terms of atherosclerosis susceptibility, which is highly correlated with the ambient concentration of ApoB-containing lipoproteins (Davidson and Shelness, Annu. Rev. Nutr., 2000, 20, 169-193). ApoB-100 is the major protein component of LDL-C and contains the domain required for interaction of this lipoprotein species with the LDL receptor. Elevated levels of LDL-C are a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, including atherosclerosis.

In one embodiment, the antisense compounds provided herein can be used to lower the level of apolipoprotein B-containing lipoproteins in a human subject. As used herein, “apolipoprotein B-containing lipoprotein” refers to any lipoprotein that has apolipoprotein B as its protein component, and is understood to include LDL, VLDL, IDL, and lipoprotein(a). LDL, VLDL, IDL and lipoprotein(a) each contain one molecule of apolipoprotein B, thus a serum apolipoprotein B measurement reflects the total number of these lipoproteins. As is known in the art, each of the aforementioned lipoproteins is atherogenic. Thus, lowering one or more apolipoprotein B-containing lipoproteins in serum may provide a therapeutic benefit to a human subject. Small LDL particles are considered to be particularly atherogenic relative to large LDL particles, thus lowering small LDL particles can provide a therapeutic benefit to a human subject. Additional lipid parameters can also be determined in a subject. Reduction of total cholesterol:HDL ratio or LDL:HDL ratio is a clinically desirable improvement in cholesterol ratio. Similarly, it is clinically desirable to reduce serum triglycerides in humans who exhibit elevated lipid levels.
Other indications of cardiovascular disease that can be measured in a subject include serum LDL particle size; serum LDL cholesteryl ester concentration; serum LDL cholesteryl ester composition; the extent of polyunsaturation of serum LDL cholesteryl esters; and serum HDL cholesterol levels. As used herein, “serum LDL particle size” refers to the classification of serum LDL particle size, which may be very small, small, medium, or large, and is typically expressed in g/μmol. In the context of the present invention, “serum LDL cholesteryl ester concentration” means the amount of cholesteryl ester present in LDL particles, and is typically measured as mg/dL. In the context of the present invention, “serum LDL cholesteryl ester composition” is a measurement of the percentage of saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated cholesteryl ester fatty acids present in serum LDL particles. “Polyunsaturation of serum LDL cholesteryl esters” means the percentage of polyunsaturated cholesteryl ester fatty acids in serum LDL particles.
Methods of obtaining serum or plasma samples for analysis and methods of preparation of the serum samples to allow for analysis are well known to those skilled in the art. With regard to measurements of lipoproteins, cholesterol, triglyceride and cholesteryl esters, the terms “serum” and “plasma” are herein used interchangeably.
In another embodiment, the antisense compounds provided herein can be used to treat metabolic disorders. A variety of biomarkers can be used for evaluating metabolic disease. For example, blood glucose levels can be determined by a physician or even by the patient using a commonly available test kit or glucometer (for example, the Ascensia ELITETM kit, Ascensia (Bayer), Tarrytown N.Y., or Accucheck, Roche Diagnostics). Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) can also be measured. HbA1c is a stable minor hemoglobin variant formed in vivo via posttranslational modification by glucose, and it contains predominantly glycated NH2-terminal β-chains. There is a strong correlation between levels of HbA1c and the average blood glucose levels over the previous 3 months. Thus HbA1c is often viewed as the “gold standard” for measuring sustained blood glucose control (Bunn, H. F. et al., 1978, Science. 200, 21-7). HbA1c can be measured by ion-exchange HPLC or immunoassay; home blood collection and mailing kits for HbA1c measurement are now widely available. Serum fructosamine is another measure of stable glucose control and can be measured by a colorimetric method (Cobas Integra, Roche Diagnostics).
Certain Short Antisense Compounds Targeted to an ApoB Nucleic Acid
In certain embodiments, short antisense compounds are targeted to an ApoB nucleic acid having the sequence of GENBANK® Accession No. NM—000384.1, incorporated herein as SEQ ID NO: 1. In certain such embodiments, a short antisense compound targeted to SEQ ID NO: 1 is at least 90% complementary to SEQ ID NO: 1. In certain such embodiments, a short antisense compound targeted to SEQ ID NO: 1 is at least 95% complementary to SEQ ID NO: 1. In certain such embodiments, a short antisense compound targeted to SEQ ID NO: 1 is 100% complementary to SEQ ID NO: 1. In certain embodiments, a short antisense compound targeted to SEQ ID NO: 1 comprises a nucleotide sequence selected from the nucleotide sequences set forth in Table 2 and Table 3.
The nucleotide sequence set forth in each SEQ ID NO in Tables 2 and 3 is independent of any modification to a sugar moiety, a monomeric linkage, or a nucleobase. As such, short 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 one or more modifications to a sugar moiety, an internucleoside linkage, or a nucleobase.
Tables 2 and 3 illustrate examples of short antisense compounds targeted to SEQ ID NO: 1. Table 2 illustrates short antisense compounds that are 100% complementary to SEQ ID NO: 1. Table 3 illustrates short antisense compounds that have one or two mismatches with respect to SEQ ID NO: 1. The column labeled ‘gapmer motif’ indicates the wing-gap-wing motif of each short antisense compounds. The gap segment comprises 2′-deoxynucleotides and each nucleotide of each wing segment comprises a 2′-modified sugar. The particular 2′-modified sugar is also indicated in the ‘gapmer motif’ column. For example, ‘2-10-2 MOE’ means a 2-10-2 gapmer motif, where a gap segment of ten 2′-deoxynucleotides is flanked by wing segments of two nucleotides, where the nucleotides of the wing segments are 2′-MOE nucleotides. Internucleoside linkages are phosphorothioate. The short antisense compounds comprise 5-methylcytidine in place of unmodified cytosine, unless “unmodified cytosine” is listed in the gapmer motif column, in which case the indicated cytosines are unmodified cytosines. For example, “5-mC in gap only” indicates that the gap segment has 5-methylcytosines, while the wing segments have unmodified cytosines.

2. SGLT-2
Sodium dependent glucose transporter 2 (SGLT-2) is expressed in the kidney proximal tubule epithelial cells, and functions to reabsorb glucose preventing glucose loss in the urine. For the human genome SGLT-2 is a member of an 11-membered family of sodium substrate co-transporters. Many of these family members share sequence homology, for example SGLT-1 shares about 59% sequence identity with SGLT-2 and about 70% sequence identity with SGLT-3. SGLT-1 is a glucose transporter found in the heart and the CNS. SGLT-3 is a glucose sensing sodium channel in the small intestine. The separate localization patterns for these SGLTs is one point of distinction between the homologous family members. (Handlon, A. L., Expert Opin. Ther. Patents (2005) 15(11):1532-1540; Kanai et al., J. Clin. Invest., 1994, 93, 397-404; Wells et al., Am. J. Physiol. Endocrinol. Metab., 1992, 263, F459-465).
Studies of human SGLT2 injected into Xenopus oocytes demonstrated that this protein mediates sodium-dependent transport of D-glucose and .alpha.-methyl-D-glucopyranoside (.alpha.-MeGlc; a glucose analog) with a Km value of 1.6 mM for .alpha.-MeGlc and a sodium to glucose coupling ratio of 1:1 (Kanai et al., J. Clin. Invest., 1994, 93, 397-404; You et al., J. Biol. Chem., 1995, 270, 29365-29371). This transport activity was suppressed by phlorizin, a plant glycoside that binds to the glucose site of the SGLTs but is not transported and thus inhibits SGLT action (You et al., J. Biol. Chem., 1995, 270, 29365-29371).
Diabetes is a disorder characterized by hyperglycemia due to deficient insulin action. Chronic hyperglycemia is a major risk factor for diabetes-associated complications, including heart disease, retinopathy, nephropathy and neuropathy. As the kidneys play a major role in the regulation of plasma glucose levels, renal glucose transporters are becoming attractive drug targets (Wright, Am. J. Physiol. Renal Physiol., 2001, 280, F10-18). Diabetic nephropathy is the most common cause of end-stage renal disease that develops in many patients with diabetes. Glucotoxicity, which results from long-term hyperglycemia, induces tissue-dependent insulin resistance in diabetic patients (Nawano et al., Am. J. Physiol. Endocrinol. Metab., 2000, 278, E535-543).
Definitions
“Sodium dependent glucose transporter 2” is the gene product or protein of which expression is to be modulated by administration of a short antisense compound. Sodium dependent glucose transporter 2 is generally referred to as SGLT2 but may also be referred to as SLC5A2; sodium-glucose transporter 2; sodium-glucose cotransporter, kidney low affinity; sodium-glucose cotransporter, renal; solute carrier family 5 (sodium/glucose cotransporter), member 2; SL52.
“SGLT2 nucleic acid” means any nucleic acid encoding SGLT2. For example, in certain embodiments, a SGLT2 nucleic acid includes, without limitation, a DNA sequence encoding SGLT2, an RNA sequence transcribed from DNA encoding SGLT2, and an mRNA sequence encoding SGLT2. “SGLT2 mRNA” means an mRNA encoding a SGLT2 protein.
Therapeutic Indications
In certain embodiments, short antisense compounds are used to modulate expression of SGLT-2 and related proteins. In certain embodiments, such modulation is accomplished by providing short antisense compounds that hybridize with one or more target nucleic acid molecules encoding SGLT-2, including, but is not limited to, SGLT2, SL52, SLC5A2, Sodium-Glucose Co-Transporter, Kidney Low Affinity Sodium-Glucose Co-Transporter, Renal Sodium-Glucose Co-Transporter 2 and Solute Carrier Family 5 Sodium/Glucose Co-Transporter Member 2. Also provided are methods of treating metabolic and/or cardiovascular disease and disorders as described herein. In particular embodiments, short antisense compounds that inhibit the expression of SGLT2 are used in methods of lowering blood glucose levels in an animal and methods of delaying or preventing the onset of type 2 diabetes. Such methods comprise administering a therapeutically or prophylactically effective amount of one or more of the compounds of the invention to the animal, which may be in need of treatment. The one or more compounds can be a short antisense compound targeting a nucleic acid encoding SGLT2. Provided herein are methods of enhancing inhibition of expression of SGLT2 in kidney cells or kidney tissues, comprising contacting the cells or tissues with one or more of the compounds of the invention, such as short antisense compounds targeting a nucleic acid encoding SGLT2.
While certain compounds, compositions and methods have been described with specificity in accordance with certain embodiments, the following examples serve only to illustrate the compounds of the invention and are not intended to limit the same.
In certain embodiments, short antisense compounds are chimeric oligomeric compounds having mixed phosphorothioate and phosphodiester backbones. Certain mixed backbone short antisense compounds have a central gap comprising at least 5 contiguous 2′-deoxy nucleosides flanked by two wings each of which comprises at least one 2′-O-methoxyethyl nucleoside. In certain embodiments, the internucleoside linkages of the mixed backbone compounds are phosphorothioate linkages in the gap and phosphodiester linkages in the two wings. In certain embodiments, mixed backbone compounds have phosphorothioate linkages in the wings, except for one phosphodiester linkage at one or both of the extreme 5′ and 3′ ends of the oligonucleotide. In certain embodiments short antisense compounds targeted to SGLT2 have a motif (wing-deoxy gap-wing) selected from 3-10-3, 2-10-3, 2-10-2, 1-10-1, 1-10-2, 2-8-2, 1-9-2, 1-8-1, 3-6-3 or 1-6-1. In certain embodiments short antisense compounds targeted to SGLT2 have a motif (wing-deoxy gap-wing) selected from 1-10-1, 1-10-2, 2-8-2, 1-9-2, 1-8-1, 3-6-3 or 1-6-1.
In certain embodiments, short antisense compounds targeted to an SGLT2 nucleic acid and having a mixed backbone are efficiently delivered to the kidney. In certain embodiments, administration of short antisense compounds targeted to an SGLT2 nucleic acid and having a mixed backbone results in modulation of target gene expression in the kidney. In certain such embodiments, there is little or no liver or kidney toxicity. In certain embodiments, short antisense compounds targeted to an SGLT2 nucleic acid and having a mixed backbone are more potent for reducing SGLT-2 mRNA and have a faster onset compared with a short antisense compound that does not have a mixed back-bone, but is otherwise identical. In certain such embodiments, such increase potency and/or reduced toxicity is in mouse and/or rat. In certain such embodiments, such increase potency and/or reduced toxicity is in a human.
By way of example, and only for illustrative purposes, ISIS 145733, which comprises uniform phosphorothioate linkages and ISIS 257016 which comprises phosphodiester linkage in the wings and phosphorothioate linkages in the gap, are otherwise identical. Both comprise the sequence GAAGTAGCCACCAACTGTGC (SEQ ID NO. 1572). Both of the oligonucleotides further comprise a gap consisting of ten 2′-deoxynucleotides, flanked on each side by five-nucleotide “2′-methoxyethyl (2′-MOE) nucleotides. All cytidine residues are 5-methylcytidines. The mixed back-bone compound, ISIS 257016, was about 50 times more potent for reducing SGLT-2 mRNA compared to the non-mixed parent compound, ISIS 145733 (see EXAMPLE 9).
Pharmacokinetic studies of certain mixed backbone compound ISIS 257016 indicate that in certain embodiments, the compound acts as a prodrug that is metabolized to a 12 nucleobase pharmacophore. Studies with ISIS 370717, a 12 nucleobase short antisense compound corresponding to ISIS 257016, show that the compound has a similar pharmacological profile to ISIS 257016 but with a faster onset of action. ISIS 370717 is a 12 nucleobase antisense oligonucleotide targeted to SGLT-2 comprising the sequence TAGCCACCAACT (SEQ ID NO. 1554), further comprising a gap consisting of ten 2′-deoxynucleotides, flanked on both sides by one-nucleotide wings. The wings are composed of 2′-methoxyethyl (2′-MOE) nucleotides. All cytidine residues are 5-methylcytidines. The internucleoside linkages are phosphorothioate (P═S) throughout the oligonucleotide. The similarity in pharmacological activity of ISIS 257016 and ISIS 370717 supports the pharmacokinetic studies indicating ISIS 257016 was a prodrug having a 12 nucleotide pharmacophore (see EXAMPLE 10). Further, studies with stabilized (end-capped) versions of ISIS 257016 show dramatic loss of activity.
In certain embodiments, short antisense compounds comprising 2′ MOE monomers in the wings are efficiently delivered to the kidney and treatment with such compounds results in efficient modulation of target gene expression in the kidney without liver or kidney toxicity. It is further shown herein that in certain embodiments, short antisense compounds are more potent for reducing SGLT-2 mRNA and have a faster onset compared with parent oligonucleotides targeted to SGLT-2 mRNA in mouse and rat. 2′ MOE gap shortmers are shown herein to improve potency and bioavailability over parent compounds.
By way of example, and only for illustrative purposes studies with ISIS 370717 reveal significantly higher accumulation of the short antisense compound in the kidney tissue (approximately 500 micro grams per gram of tissue) compared to the longer parent. Moreover, SGLT-2 mRNA was reduced by more than 80% over the controls (see EXAMPLE 11). ISIS 370717 1-10-1 gapmer was used as a template to make sequence related oligos with varying motifs. Studies evaluating wing, gap and total length variations around the ISIS 370717 12 mer oligonucleotide can be seen in EXAMPLE 12. Certain motifs evaluated included 1-10-1, 2-8-2, 1-8-1, 3-6-3, and 1-6-1 (see Table 60 in EXAMPLE 12). The compounds were analyzed for their effect on SGLT2 mRNA levels. All the motifs inhibited the expression of SGLT2 in vivo in a dose-dependent manner. The 1-10-1, 2-8-2 and 1-8-1 gapmers were found to be particularly potent. SGLT-2 mRNA was reduced by more than 80% over the controls using these motifs.
In certain embodiments, the invention provides short antisense compounds targeted to an SGLT2 nucleic acid and having a motif selected from: 1-10-1 and 1-10-2 MOE gapmer. (see Table 62 in EXAMPLE 13). Certain such compounds were analyzed for their effect on rat SGLT2 mRNA. Results in Table 63 illustrate that both the 1-10-1 and 1-10-2 MOE gapmers inhibit the expression of SGLT2 in vivo in a dose-dependent manner and over 80% reduction of SGLT-2 mRNA could be achieved.
Certain additional 1-10-1 and 2-8-2 MOE gapmers were evaluated in both mouse and rat in vivo models (see, e.g., EXAMPLE 14 and 15). Greater than 80% reduction in SGLT-2 mRNA was achieved with many of the 1-10-1 and 2-8-2 MOE gapmers at relatively low concentrations of oligo and in the absence of any toxicity effects.
In another non-limiting example, the effect of ISIS 388625 on dog SGLT2 mRNA levels was also analyzed. Dog studies illustrate that greater than 80% inhibition of the expression of SGLT2 can be achieved at a 1 mg/kg/wk dose. Even greater inhibition can be achieved at slightly higher doses. Administration of ISIS 388625 in dog was also shown to improved glucose tolerance. Peak plasma glucose levels were decreased by over 50% on average and the subsequent drop in glucose was lessened compared to saline controls in a standard glucose tolerance test (See EXAMPLE 17). Also, in a rat model of diabetes, short antisense compounds were shown to significantly decrease plasma glucose levels and HbA1C over time compared to PBS and control treated animals (See Example 16).
The animals in all studies were further evaluated for toxicity. For example, total body weight, liver, spleen and kidney weight were evaluated. Significant changes in spleen, liver or body weight can indicate that a particular compound causes toxic effects. All changes were found to be within the margin of error. No significant changes in body weight were observed during the treatment or at study termination. No significant changes in liver or spleen weights were observed.
Certain Short Antisense Compounds Targeted to an SGLT2 Nucleic Acid
In certain embodiments, short antisense compounds are targeted to an SGLT2 nucleic acid having the sequence of GENBANK® Accession No. NM—003041.1, incorporated herein as SEQ ID NO: 3. In certain such embodiments, a short antisense compound targeted to SEQ ID NO: 3 is at least 90% complementary to SEQ ID NO: 3. In certain such embodiments, a short antisense compound targeted to SEQ ID NO: 3 is at least 95% complementary to SEQ ID NO: 3. In certain such embodiments, a short antisense compound targeted to SEQ ID NO: 3 is 100% complementary to SEQ ID NO: 1. In certain embodiments, a short antisense compound targeted to SEQ ID NO: 3 comprises a nucleotide sequence selected from the nucleotide sequences set forth in Table 4 and 5.
The nucleotide sequence set forth in each SEQ ID NO set forth in Tables 4 and 5 is independent of any modification to a sugar moiety, a monomeric linkage, or a nucleobase. As such, short 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 one or more modifications to a sugar moiety, an internucleoside linkage, or a nucleobase.
Tables 4 and 5 illustrate examples of short antisense compounds targeted to SEQ ID NO: 3. Table 4 illustrates short antisense compounds that are 100% complementary to SEQ ID NO: 3. Table 5 illustrates short antisense compounds that have one or two mismatches with respect to SEQ ID NO: 3. The column labeled ‘gapmer motif’ indicates the wing-gap-wing motif of each short antisense compounds. The gap segment comprises 2′-deoxynucleotides and each nucleotide of each wing segment comprises a 2′-modified sugar. The particular 2′-modified sugar is also indicated in the ‘gapmer motif’ column. For example, ‘2-10-2 MOE’ means a 2-10-2 gapmer motif, where a gap segment of ten 2′-deoxynucleotides is flanked by wing segments of two nucleotides, where the nucleotides of the wing segments are 2′-MOE nucleotides. Internucleoside linkages are phosphorothioate. The short antisense compounds comprise 5-methylcytidine in place of unmodified cytosine, unless “unmodified cytosine” is listed in the gapmer motif column, in which case the indicated cytosines are unmodified cytosines. For example, “5-mC in gap only” indicates that the gap segment has 5-methylcytosines, while the wing segments have unmodified cytosines.

3. PCSK9
In individuals with autosomal dominant hypercholesterolemia (ADH), elevated LDL-C levels have been linked to mutations in the genes encoding LDL-receptor (LDL-R), apolipoprotein B (apoB), or proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) (Abifadel et al., Nat. Genet., 2003, 34:154-156). PCSK9 was identified as a third locus associated with ADH when gain-of-function mutations in PCSK9 were found to be linked to elevated LDL-C levels. ApoB participates in the intracellular assembly and secretion of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins and is a ligand for the LDL-R. PCSK9 is proposed to reduce LDL-R expression levels in the liver. Reduced LDL-R expression results in reduced hepatic uptake of circulating ApoB-containing lipoproteins, which in turn leads to elevated cholesterol.
Definitions

Certain Short Antisense Compounds Targeted to a PCSK9 Nucleic Acid
In certain embodiments, short antisense compounds are targeted to a PCSK9 nucleic acid having the sequence of GENBANK® Accession No. NM—174936.2, incorporated herein as SEQ ID NO: 4. In certain such embodiments, a short antisense compound targeted to SEQ ID NO: 4 is at least 90% complementary to SEQ ID NO: 4. In certain such embodiments, a short antisense compound targeted to SEQ ID NO: 4 is at least 95% complementary to SEQ ID NO: 4. In certain such embodiments, a short antisense compound targeted to SEQ ID NO: 4 is 100% complementary to SEQ ID NO: 4. In certain embodiments, a short antisense compound targeted to SEQ ID NO: 4 comprises a nucleotide sequence selected from the nucleotide sequences set forth in Table 6 or Table 7.
The nucleotide sequence set forth in each SEQ ID NO in Tables 6 and 7 is independent of any modification to a sugar moiety, an internucleoside linkage, or a nucleobase. As such, short 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. Short antisense compounds described by Isis Number (Isis NO.) indicate a combination of nucleobase sequence and one or more modifications to a sugar moiety, an internucleoside linkage, or a nucleobase.
Tables 6 and 7 illustrate examples of short antisense compounds targeted to SEQ ID NO: 4. Table 6 illustrates short antisense compounds that are 100% complementary to SEQ ID NO: 4. Table 7 illustrates short antisense compounds that have one or two mismatches with respect to SEQ ID NO: 4. The column labeled ‘gapmer motif’ indicates the wing-gap-wing motif of each short antisense compounds. The gap segment comprises 2′-deoxynucleotides and each nucleotide of each wing segment comprises a 2′-modified sugar. The particular 2′-modified sugar is also indicated in the ‘gapmer motif’ column. For example, ‘2-10-2 MOE’ means a 2-10-2 gapmer motif, where a gap segment of ten 2′-deoxynucleotides is flanked by wing segments of two nucleotides, where the nucleotides of the wing segments are 2′-MOE nucleotides. Internucleoside linkages are phosphorothioate. The short antisense compounds comprise 5-methylcytidine in place of unmodified cytosine, unless “unmodified cytosine” is listed in the gapmer motif column, in which case the indicated cytosines are unmodified cytosines. For example, “5-mC in gap only” indicates that the gap segment has 5-methylcytosines, while the wing segments have unmodified cytosines.

4. Superoxide Dismutase 1 Enzyme (SOD1)
The enzymes known as the superoxide dismutases (SODs) provide defense against oxidative damage of biomolecules by catalyzing the dismutation of superoxide to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) (Fridovich, Annu. Rev. Biochem., 1995, 64, 97-112). Two major classes of superoxide dismutases exist. One consists of a group of enzymes with active sites containing copper and zinc while the other class has either manganese or iron at the active site (Fridovich, Annu. Rev. Biochem., 1995, 64, 97-112).
Mutations in the superoxide dismutase 1 gene are associated with a dominantly-inherited form of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease) a disorder characterized by a selective degeneration of upper and lower motor neurons (Cleveland and Liu, Nat. Med., 2000, 6, 1320-1321). The deleterious effects of various mutations on superoxide dismutase 1 are most likely mediated through a gain of toxic function rather than a loss of superoxide dismutase 1 activity, as the complete absence of superoxide dismutase 1 in mice neither diminishes life nor provokes overt disease (Al-Chalabi and Leigh, Curr. Opin. Neurol., 2000, 13, 397-405; Alisky and Davidson, Hum. Gene Ther., 2000, 11, 2315-2329).
Over 100 mutations of the human SOD1 gene have been identified, and altogether account for approximately 20% of familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) cases. Some mutations, such as the A4V mutation most commonly found in the United States, are highly lethal and result in survival only nine months from the onset of disease symptoms. Other mutations of SOD1 manifest in a slower disease course.
Definitions
“SOD1” means the gene product or protein of which expression is to be modulated by administration of a short antisense compound.
“SOD1 nucleic acid” means any nucleic acid encoding SOD1. For example, in certain embodiments, a SOD1 nucleic acid includes, without limitations, a DNA sequence encoding SOD1, an RNA sequence transcribed from DNA encoding SOD1, and an mRNA sequence encoding SOD1.
“SOD1 mRNA” means an mRNA encoding SOD1.
SOD1 Therapeutic Indications
It has been discovered that antisense inhibition of superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) in an animal model of familial ALS reduces both SOD1 mRNA and protein, and further results in a slowing of disease progression and, importantly, increased survival time.

5. CRP
CRP (also known as C-reactive protein and PTX1) is an essential human acute-phase reactant produced in the liver in response to a variety of inflammatory cytokines. The protein, first identified in 1930, is highly conserved and considered to be an early indicator of infectious or inflammatory conditions. Plasma CRP levels increase 1,000-fold in response to infection, ischemia, trauma, burns, and inflammatory conditions. In clinical trials where patients receive lipid-lowering therapy, such as statin therapy, it has been demonstrated that patients having reductions in both LDL-C and CRP have a reduced risk of future coronary events relative to patients experiencing only reductions in LDL-C.
Definitions

6. Glucocorticoid Receptor (GCCR)
Glucocorticoids were among the first steroid hormones to be identified and are responsible for a multitude of physiological functions, including the stimulation of gluconeogenesis, decreased glucose uptake and utilization in peripheral tissues, increased glycogen deposition, suppression of immune and inflammatory responses, inhibition of cytokine synthesis and acceleration of various developmental events. Glucocorticoids are also especially important for combating stress. Stress-induced elevation of glucocorticoid synthesis and release leads to, among other responses, increased ventricular workload, inhibition of inflammatory mediators, inhibition of cytokine synthesis and increased glucose production (Karin, Cell, 1998, 93, 487-490).
Both natural glucocorticoids and their synthetic derivatives exert their action through the glucocorticoid receptor, a ubiquitously expressed cytoplasmic member of the nuclear hormone superfamily of receptors. Human glucocorticoid receptor is also known as nuclear receptor subfamily 3, group C, member 1; NR3C1; GCCR; GCR; GRL; Glucocorticoid receptor, lymphocyte. The gene is located on human chromosome 5q11-q13 and consists of 9 exons (Encio and Detera-Wadleigh, J Biol Chem, 1991, 266, 7182-7188; Gehring et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA, 1985, 82, 3751-3755). Multiple forms of human glucocorticoid receptor mRNA exist: a 5.5 kb human glucocorticoid receptor a cDNA containing exons 1-8 and exon 9α; a 4.3 kb human glucocorticoid receptor 0 cDNA containing exons 1-8 and exon 90; and a 7.0 kb human glucocorticoid receptor a cDNA containing exons 1-8 and the entire exon 9, which includes exon 9α, exon 9β and the ‘J region’, which is flanked by exons 9α and 9β (Hollenberg et al., Nature, 1985, 318, 635-641; Oakley et al., J Biol Chem, 1996, 271, 9550-9559). Human glucocorticoid receptor a is the predominant isoform of the receptor and the one that exhibits steroid binding activity (Hollenberg et al., Nature, 1985, 318, 635-641). Additionally, through usage of three different promoters three different exon 1 variants can be transcribed, and alternative splicing of one exon 1 variant can result in three different versions of this exon. Thus, human glucocorticoid receptor mRNA may contain 5 different versions of exon 1 (Breslin et al., Mol Endocrinol, 2001, 15, 1381-1395).
Examination of the expression patterns of the α and β isoforms of human glucocorticoid receptor mRNA reveals that the a isoform is more abundantly expressed. Both isoforms are expressed in similar tissues and cell types, including lung, kidney, heart, liver, skeletal muscle, macrophages, neutrophils and peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Only human glucocorticoid receptor a is expressed in colon. At the level of protein, while the α isoform is detected in all tissues examined, the β isoform is undetectable, suggesting that under physiological conditions, the default splicing pathway is the one that produces the α isoform (Pujols et al., Am J Physiol Cell Physiol, 2002, 283, C1324-1331). The β isoform of glucocorticoid receptor binds neither a glucocorticoid agonist nor an antagonist. Furthermore, the β isoform is localized primarily in the nucleus in transfected cells, independent of hormone stimulation. When both isoforms are expressed in the same cell, the glucocorticoid receptor β inhibits the hormone-induced, glucocorticoid receptor α-mediated stimulation of gene expression, suggesting that the β isoform functions as an inhibitor of glucocorticoid receptor α activity (Oakley et al., J Biol Chem, 1996, 271, 9550-9559). Unless otherwise noted, the human glucocorticoid receptor described herein is defined as the ubiquitous product(s) of the gene located on chromosome 5q11-q13.
Cell lines transfected with a complementary glucocorticoid receptor antisense RNA strand exhibited a reduction in glucocorticoid receptor mRNA levels and a decreased response to the glucocorticoid receptor agonist dexamethasone (Pepin and Barden, Mol Cell Biol, 1991, 11, 1647-1653). Transgenic mice bearing an antisense glucocorticoid receptor gene construct were used to study the glucocorticoid feedback effect on the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis (Pepin et al., Nature, 1992, 355, 725-728). In another study of similarly genetically engineered mice, energy intake and expenditure, heart and vastus lateralis muscle lipoprotein lipase activity, and heart and brown adipose tissue norepinephrine were lower than in control animals. Conversely, fat content and total body energy were significantly higher than in control animals. These results suggest that a defective glucocorticoid receptor system may affect energy balance through increasing energetic efficiency, and they emphasize the modulatory effects of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis changes on muscle lipoprotein lipase activity (Richard et al., Am J Physiol, 1993, 265, R146-150).
Behavorial effects of glucocorticoid receptor antagonists have been measured in animal models designed to assess anxiety, learning and memory. Reduced expression of glucocorticoid receptor in rats long-term intracerebroventricularly infused with antisense oligodeoxynucleotides targeting glucocorticoid receptor mRNA did not interfere with spatial navigation in the Morris water maze test (Engelmann et al., Eur J Pharmacol, 1998, 361, 17-26). Bilateral infusion of an antisense oligodeoxynucleotide targeting the glucocorticoid receptor mRNA into the dentate gyrus of the rat hippocampus reduced the immobility of rats in the Porsolt forced swim test (Korte et al., Eur J Pharmacol, 1996, 301, 19-25).
Glucocorticoids are frequently used for their immunosuppressive, anti-inflammatory effects in the treatment of diseases such as allergies, athsma, rheumatoid arthritis, AIDS, systemic lupus erythematosus and degenerative osteoarthritis. Negative regulation of gene expression, such as that caused by the interaction of glucocorticoid receptor with NF-kB, is proposed to be at least partly responsible for the anti-inflammatory action of glucocorticoids in vivo. Interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor α and interleukin-1 are the three cytokines that account for most of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis stimulation during the stress of inflammation. The HPA axis and the systemic sympathetic and adrenomedullary system are the peripheral components of the stress system, responsible for maintaining basal and stress-related homeostasis. Glucocorticoids, the end products of the HPA axis, inhibit the production of all three inflammatory cytokines and also inhibit their effects on target tissues, with the exception of interleukin-6, which acts synergistically with glucocorticoids to stimulate the production of acute-phase reactants. Glucocorticoid treatment decreases the activity of the HPA axis (Chrousos, N Engl J Med, 1995, 332, 1351-1362).
In some cases, patients are refractory to glucocorticoid treatment. One reason for this resistance to steroids lies with mutations or polymorphisms present in the glucocorticoid receptor gene. A total of 15 missense, three nonsense, three frameshift, one splice site, and two alternative spliced mutations, as well as 16 polymorphisms, have been reported in the NR3C1 gene in association with glucocorticoid resistance (Bray and Cotton, Hum Mutat, 2003, 21, 557-568). Additional studies in humans have suggested a positive association between metabolic syndrome incidence and progression, with alleles at the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) gene (Rosmond, Obes Res, 2002, 10, 1078-1086).
Other cases of glucocorticoid insensitivity are associated with altered expression of glucocorticoid receptor isoforms. A study of human glucocorticoid receptor β isoform mRNA expression in glucocorticoid-resistant ulcerative colitis patients revealed the presence of this mRNA was significantly higher than in the glucocorticoid-sensitive patients, suggesting that the expression of human glucocorticoid receptor β mRNA in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells may serve as a predictor of glucocorticoid response in ulcerative colitis (Honda et al., Gastroenterology, 2000, 118, 859-866). Increased expression of glucocorticoid receptor β is also observed in a significantly high number of glucocorticoid-insensitive asthmatics. Additionally, cytokine-induced abnormalities in the DNA binding capacity of the glucocorticoid receptor were found in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from glucocorticoid-insensitive patients transfection, and HepG2 cells with the glucocorticoid receptor β gene resulted in a significant reduction of glucocorticoid receptor a DNA-binding capacity (Leung et al., J Exp Med, 1997, 186, 1567-1574). Dexamethasone binding studies demonstrate that human glucocorticoid receptor β does not alter the affinity of glucocorticoid receptor a for hormonal ligands, but rather its ability to bind to the GRE (Bamberger et al., J Clin Invest, 1995, 95, 2435-2441). Taken together, these results illustrate that glucocorticoid receptor β, through competition with glucocorticoid receptor a for GRE target sites, may function as a physiologically and pathophysiologically relevant endogenous inhibitor of glucocorticoid action.
In the liver, glucocorticoid agonists increase hepatic glucose production by activating the glucocorticoid receptor, which subsequently leads to increased expression of the gluconeogenic enzymes phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) and glucose-6-phosphatase. Through gluconeogenesis, glucose is formed through non-hexose precursors, such as lactate, pyruvate and alanine (Link, Curr Opin Investig Drugs, 2003, 4, 421-429). Steroidal glucocorticoid receptor antagonists such as RU 486 have been tested in rodent models of diabetes. Mice deficient in the leptin receptor gene, termed db/db mice, are genetically obese, diabetic and hyperinsulinemic. Treatment of hyperglycemic db/db mice with RU 486 decreased blood glucose levels by approximately 49%, without affecting plasma insulin levels. Additionally, RU 486 treatment reduced the expression of glucocorticoid receptor responsive genes PEPCK, glucose-6-phosphatase, glucose transporter type 2 and tyrosine aminotransferase in db/db mice as compared to untreated animals (Friedman et al., J Biol Chem, 1997, 272, 31475-31481). RU 486 also ameliorates diabetes in the ob/ob mouse model of diabetes, obesity and hyperinsulinemia, through a reduction in serum insulin and blood glucose levels (Gettys et al., Int J Obes Relat Metab Disord, 1997, 21, 865-873).
As increased gluconeogenesis is considered to be the major source of increased glucose production in diabetes, a number of therapeutic targets for the inhibition of hepatic glucose production have been investigated. Due to the ability of antagonists of the glucocorticoid receptor to ameliorate diabetes in animal models, such compounds are among the potential therapies being explored. However, there are detrimental systemic effects of glucocorticoid receptor antagonists, including activation of the HPA axis (Link, Curr Opin Investig Drugs, 2003, 4, 421-429). Increased HPA axis activity is associated with suppression of immune-related inflammatory action, which can increase susceptibility to infectious agents and neoplasms. Conditions associated with suppression of immune-mediated inflammation through defects in the HPA axis, or its target tissues, include Cushing's syndrome, chronic stress, chronic alcoholism and melancholic depression (Chrousos, N Engl J Med, 1995, 332, 1351-1362). Thus, it is of great value to develop liver-specific glucocorticoid receptor antagonists. Steroidal glucocorticoid receptor antagonists have been conjugated to bile acids for the purpose of targeting them to the liver (Apelqvist et al., 2000). Currently, there are no known therapeutic agents that target the glucocorticoid receptor without undesired peripheral effects (Link, Curr Opin Investig Drugs, 2003, 4, 421-429). Consequently, there remains a long felt need for agents capable of effectively inhibiting hepatic glucocorticoid receptor.
Definitions
“Glucocorticoid receptor” is the gene product or protein of which expression is to be modulated by administration of a short antisense compound. Glucocorticoid receptor is generally referred to as GCCR.
“GCCR nucleic acid” means any nucleic acid encoding GCCR. For example, in certain embodiments, a GCCR nucleic acid includes, without limitation, a DNA sequence encoding GCCR, an RNA sequence transcribed from DNA encoding GCCR, and an mRNA sequence encoding GCCR. “GCCR mRNA” means an mRNA encoding GCCR.
Therapeutic Indications
Antisense technology is an effective means of reducing the expression of specific gene products and therefore is useful in a number of therapeutic, diagnostic and research applications for the modulation of glucocorticoid receptor expression. Furthermore, in certain embodiments, liver is one of the tissues in which the highest concentrations of antisense oligonucleotides are found following administration (Geary et al., Curr. Opin. Investig. Drugs, 2001, 2, 562-573). Therefore, in such embodiments, antisense technology represents an attractive method for the liver-specific inhibition of glucocorticoid receptor.
In certain embodiments, short antisense compounds targeted to a nucleic acid encoding glucocorticoid receptor are preferentially distributed to the liver. In certain embodiments, short antisense compounds have increased potency in the liver when compared to a longer parent compound. In certain embodiments, target RNA is predominantly expressed in the liver.
For therapeutics, a subject, suspected of having a disease or disorder which can be treated by modulating the expression of GCCR is treated by administering one or more short antisense compound. In a non-limiting example, the methods comprise the step of administering to an animal a therapeutically effective amount of a short antisense compound. Certain short antisense compounds inhibit the activity of GCCR and/or inhibit expression of GCCR. In certain embodiments, the activity or expression of GCCR in a subject is inhibited by at least 10%, by at least 20%, by at least 25%, by at least 30%, by at least 40%, by at least 50%, by at least 60%, by at least 70%, by at least 75%, by at least 80%, by at least 85%, by at least 90%, by at least 95%, by at least 98%, by at least 99%, or by 100%. In certain embodiments, the activity or expression of GCCR in a subject is inhibited by at least 30%. In certain embodiments, the activity or expression of GCCR in a subject is inhibited by at least 50% or more.
The reduction of the expression of GCCR may be measured, for example, in blood, plasma, serum, adipose tissue, liver or any other body fluid, tissue or organ of the animal. In certain embodiments, cells contained within such fluids, tissues or organs being analyzed comprise nucleic acids encoding GCCR and/or they contain the GCCR protein itself.

The nucleotide sequence set forth in each SEQ ID NO in Tables 10 and 11 is independent of any modification to a sugar moiety, an internucleoside linkage, or a nucleobase. As such, short 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. Short antisense compounds described by Isis Number (Isis NO.) indicate a combination of nucleobase sequence and one or more modifications to a sugar moiety, an internucleoside linkage, or a nucleobase.
In certain embodiments, short antisense compounds targeted to a GCCR nucleic acid comprise a gapmer motif. In certain embodiments, a short antisense compound targeted to a GCCR nucleic acid comprises a 2-10-2 gapmer motif.
Tables 10 and 11 illustrate examples of short antisense compounds targeted to SEQ ID NO: 8. Table 10 illustrates short antisense compounds that are 100% complementary to SEQ ID NO: 8. Table 11 illustrates short antisense compounds that have one or two mismatches with respect to SEQ ID NO: 8. The column labeled ‘gapmer motif’ indicates the wing-gap-wing motif of each short antisense compounds. The gap segment comprises 2′-deoxynucleotides and each nucleotide of each wing segment comprises a 2′-modified sugar. The particular 2′-modified sugar is also indicated in the ‘gapmer motif’ column. For example, ‘2-10-2 MOE’ means a 2-10-2 gapmer motif, where a gap segment of ten 2′-deoxynucleotides is flanked by wing segments of two nucleotides, where the nucleotides of the wing segments are 2′-MOE nucleotides. Internucleoside linkages are phosphorothioate.

7. Glucagon Receptor (GCGR)
The maintenance of normal glycemia is a carefully regulated metabolic event. Glucagon, the 29-amino acid peptide responsible for maintaining blood glucose levels in the postabsorbative state, increases glucose release from the liver by activating hepatic glycogenolysis, gluconeogenesis, stimulating lipolysis in adipose tissue, and stimulating insulin secretion. During high blood glucose levels, insulin reverses the glucagon-mediated enhancement of glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis. In patients with diabetes, insulin is either not available or not fully effective. While treatment for diabetes has traditionally focused on increasing insulin levels, antagonism of glucagon function has been considered as an alternative therapy. As glucagon exerts its physiological effects by signaling through the glucagon receptor, the glucagon receptor has been proposed as a potential therapeutic target for diabetes (Madsen et al., Curr. Pharm. Des., 1999, 5, 683-691).
Glucagon receptor is belongs to the superfamily of G-protein-coupled receptors having seven transmembrane domains. It is also a member of the smaller sub-family of homologous receptors which bind peptides that are structurally similar to glucagon. The gene encoding human glucagon receptor was cloned in 1994 and analysis of the genomic sequence revealed multiple introns and an 82% identity to the rat glucagon receptor gene (Lok et al., Gene, 1994, 140, 203-209; MacNeil et al., Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun., 1994, 198, 328-334). Cloning of the rat glucagon receptor gene also led to the description of multiple alternative splice variants (Maget et al., FEBS Lett., 1994, 351, 271-275). The human glucagon receptor gene is localized to chromosome 17q25 (Menzel et al., Genomics, 1994, 20, 327-328). A missense mutation of Gly to Ser at codon 40 in the glucagon receptor gene leads to a 3-fold lower affinity for glucagon (Fujisawa et al., Diabetologia, 1995, 38, 983-985) and this mutation has been linked to several disease states, including non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (Fujisawa et al., Diabetologia, 1995, 38, 983-985), hypertension (Chambers and Morris, Nat. Genet., 1996, 12, 122), and central adiposity (Siani et al., Obes. Res., 2001, 9, 722-726).
Definitions
“Glucagon receptor” is the gene product or protein of which expression is to be modulated by administration of a short antisense compound. Glucagon receptor is generally referred to as GCGR but may also be referred to as GR, GGR, MGC138246, MGC93090.
“GCGR nucleic acid” means any nucleic acid encoding GCGR. For example, in certain embodiments, a GCGR nucleic acid includes, without limitation, a GCGR sequence encoding GCGR, an RNA sequence transcribed from DNA encoding GCGR, and an mRNA sequence encoding GCGR. “GCGR mRNA” means an mRNA encoding a GCGR protein.
Therapeutic Indications

Certain short antisense compounds targeted to GCGR can be used to modulate the expression of GCGR in a subject in need thereof, such as an animal, including, but not limited to, a human In certain embodiments, such methods comprise the step of administering to said animal an effective amount of a short antisense compound that reduces expression of GCGR RNA. In certain embodiments, short antisense compounds effectively reduce the levels or function of GCGR RNA. Because reduction in GCGR mRNA levels can lead to alteration in GCGR protein products of expression as well, such resultant alterations can also be measured. Certain antisense compounds that effectively reduce the levels or function of GCGR RNA or protein products of expression is considered an active antisense compound. In certain embodiments, short antisense compounds reduce the expression of GCGR causing a reduction of RNA by at least 10%, by at least 20%, by at least 25%, by at least 30%, by at least 40%, by at least 50%, by at least 60%, by at least 70%, by at least 75%, by at least 80%, by at least 85%, by at least 90%, by at least 95%, by at least 98%, by at least 99%, or by 100%.
Further provided are methods of screening for modulators of glucagon receptor and methods of modulating the expression of glucagon receptor in cells, tissues or animals comprising contacting said cells, tissues or animals with one or more short antisense compounds targeted to GCGR or with compositions comprising such compounds. Methods of treating an animal, particularly a human, suspected of having or being prone to a disease or condition associated with expression of glucagon receptor are also set forth herein. Certain such methods comprise administering a therapeutically or prophylactically effective amount of one or more of the compounds or compositions of the invention to the person in need of treatment.
The reduction of the expression of glucagon receptor may be measured, for example, in blood, plasma, serum, adipose tissue, liver or any other body fluid, tissue or organ of the animal. Preferably, the cells contained within said fluids, tissues or organs being analyzed contain a nucleic acid molecule encoding glucagon receptor protein and/or the glucagon receptor protein itself.
Pharmaceutical and other compositions comprising short antisense compounds are also provided. In certain embodiments short antisense compounds targeted to a nucleic acid encoding GCGR are utilized in pharmaceutical compositions by adding an effective amount of a compound to a suitable pharmaceutically acceptable diluent or carrier.
The short antisense compounds targeting a GCGR nucleic acid may have any one or more properties or characteristics of the short antisense compounds generally described herein. In certain embodiments, short antisense compounds targeting a GCGR nucleic acid have a motif (wing-deoxy gap-wing) selected from 1-12-1, 1-1-10-2, 2-10-1-1, 3-10-3, 2-10-3, 2-10-2, 1-10-1, 1-10-2, 3-8-3, 2-8-2, 1-8-1, 3-6-3 or 1-6-1. In certain embodiments, short antisense compounds targeting a GCGR nucleic acid have a motif (wing-deoxy gap-wing) selected from 1-12-1, 2-10-2, 3-10-3, 3-8-3, 1-1-10-2.
Certain Short Antisense Compounds Targeted to a GCGR Nucleic Acid
In certain embodiments, short antisense compounds are targeted to a GCGR nucleic acid having the sequence GENBANK® Accession No. NM—000160.1, incorporated herein as SEQ ID NO: 9. In certain such embodiments, a short antisense compound targeted to SEQ ID NO: 9 is at least 90% complementary to SEQ ID NO: 9. In certain such embodiments, a short antisense compound targeted to SEQ ID NO: 9 is at least 95% complementary to SEQ ID NO: 9. In certain such embodiments, a short antisense compound targeted to SEQ ID NO: 9 is 100% complementary to SEQ ID NO: 9. In certain embodiments, a short antisense compound targeted to SEQ ID NO: 9 includes a nucleotide sequence selected from the nucleotide sequences set forth in Tables 12 and 13.
The nucleotide sequences set forth in each SEQ ID NO in Tables 12 and 13 are independent of any modification to a sugar moiety, an internucleoside linkage, or a nucleobase. As such, short 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. Short antisense compounds described by Isis Number (Isis NO.) indicate a combination of nucleobase sequence and one or more modifications to a sugar moiety, an internucleoside linkage, or a nucleobase.
In certain embodiments, short antisense compounds targeted to a GCCR nucleic acid comprise a gapmer motif. In certain embodiments, a short antisense compound targeted to a GCCR nucleic acid comprises a 3-10-3 gapmer motif. In certain embodiments, short antisense compounds targeted to a GCCR nucleic acid comprise a gapmer motif. In certain embodiments, a short antisense compound targeted to a GCCR nucleic acid comprises a 3-8-3 gapmer motif. In certain embodiments, short antisense compounds targeted to a GCCR nucleic acid comprise a gapmer motif. In certain embodiments, a short antisense compound targeted to a GCCR nucleic acid comprises a 2-10-2 gapmer motif.
Tables 12 and 13 illustrate examples of short antisense compounds targeted to SEQ ID NO: 9. Table 12 illustrates short antisense compounds that are 100% complementary to SEQ ID NO: 9. Table 13 illustrates short antisense compounds that have one or two mismatches with respect to SEQ ID NO: 9. The column labeled ‘gapmer motif’ indicates the wing-gap-wing motif of each short antisense compounds. The gap segment comprises 2′-deoxynucleotides and each nucleotide of each wing segment comprises a 2′-modified sugar. The particular 2′-modified sugar is also indicated in the ‘gapmer motif’ column. For example, ‘2-10-2 MOE’ means a 2-10-2 gapmer motif, where a gap segment of ten 2′-deoxynucleotides is flanked by wing segments of two nucleotides, where the nucleotides of the wing segments are 2′-MOE nucleotides. Internucleoside linkages are phosphorothioate. The short antisense compounds comprise 5-methylcytidine in place of unmodified cytosine, unless “unmodified cytosine” is listed in the gapmer motif column, in which case the indicated cytosines are unmodified cytosines. For example, “5-mC in gap only” indicates that the gap segment has 5-methylcytosines, while the wing segments have unmodified cytosines.

8. DGAT2
Diacylglycerol transferase 2 (also known as DGAT2, diacylglycerol O-transferase 2, acyl-CoA:diacylglycerol acyltransferase 2), Diacylglycerol transferase 2 has been shown to be implicated in the absorption process of triglycerides (also called triacylglycerols) from food.
The absorption of triglycerides from food is a very efficient process which occurs by a series of steps wherein the dietary triacylglycerols are hydrolyzed in the intestinal lumen and then resynthesized within enterocytes. The resynthesis of triacylglycerols can occur via the monoacylglycerol pathway which commences with monoacylglycerol acyltransferase (MGAT) catalyzing the synthesis of diacylglycerol from monoacylglycerol and fatty acyl-CoA. An alternative synthesis of diacylglycerols is provided by the glycerol-phosphate pathway which describes the coupling of two molecules of fatty acyl-CoA to glycerol-3-phosphate. In either case, diacylglycerol is then acylated with another molecule of fatty acyl-CoA in a reaction catalyzed by one of two diacylglycerol acyltransferase enzymes to form the triglyceride (Farese et al., Curr. Opin. Lipidol., 2000, 11, 229-234).
The reaction catalyzed by diacylglycerol acyltransferase is the final and only committed step in triglyceride synthesis. As such, diacylglycerol acyltransferase is involved in intestinal fat absorption, lipoprotein assembly, regulating plasma triglyceride concentrations, and fat storage in adipocytes. The first diacylglycerol acyltransferase, diacylglycerol transferase 1, was identified in 1960 and the human and mouse genes encoding this protein were isolated in 1998 (Cases et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A., 1998, 95, 13018-13023; Oelkers et al., J. Biol. Chem., 1998, 273, 26765-26771). Mice lacking diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1 are viable and can still synthesize triglycerides through other biological routes, suggesting the existence of multiple mechanisms for triglyceride synthesis (Smith et al., Nat. Genet., 2000, 25, 87-90).
A second diacylglycerol transferase, diacylglycerol transferase 2 (also known as DGAT2, diacylglycerol O-transferase 2, acyl-CoA:diacylglycerol acyltransferase 2), was subsequently identified in the fungus Mortierella, humans and mice (Cases et al., J. Biol. Chem., 2001, 276, 38870-38876; Lardizabal et al., J. Biol. Chem., 2001, 276, 38862-38869). Enzymatic assays indicate that this recently identified protein does possess diacylglycerol transferase activity that utilizes a broad range of long chain fatty acyl-CoA substrates (Cases et al., J. Biol. Chem., 2001, 276, 38870-38876).
Diacylglycerol transferase 2 is a member of a family of genes whose sequences are unrelated to diacylglycerol transferase 1. In addition to differing in sequence compared to diacylglycerol transferase 1, in vitro assays illustrate that diacylglycerol transferase 2 has higher activity at lower concentrations of magnesium chloride and oleoyl-CoA (Cases et al., J. Biol. Chem., 2001, 276, 38870-38876). The predicted protein sequence of diacylglycerol transferase 2 contains at least one putative transmembrane domain, three potential N-linked glycosylation sites, six potential protein kinase C phosphorylation consensus sites, as well as sequences in common with a putative glycerol phosphorylation site found in acyltransferase enzymes (Cases et al., J. Biol. Chem., 2001, 276, 38870-38876). The International Radiation Hybrid Mapping Consortium has mapped human diacylglycerol transferase 2 to chromosome 11q13.3.
In human tissues, the highest levels of diacylglycerol transferase 2 are detected in liver and white adipose tissues, with lower levels found in mammary gland, testis and peripheral blood leukocytes (Cases et al., J. Biol. Chem., 2001, 276, 38870-38876). Two mRNA species of 2.4 and 1.8 kilobases are detected in human tissues, whereas the major diacylglycerol transferase 2 mRNA species in mouse tissues is 2.4 kilobases. In addition to liver and white adipose tissues, diacylglycerol transferase 2 is expressed in all segments of the small intestine in mice, with higher expression in the proximal intestine and lower expression in the distal intestine (Cases et al., J. Biol. Chem., 2001, 276, 38870-38876).
Diacylglycerol transferase activity exhibits distinct patterns during postnatal development of the rat liver. As there is no correlation between the mRNA expression and activity patterns, post-translational modifications may participate in the regulation of diacylglycerol transferase 2 activity during rat development (Waterman et al., J. Lipid. Res., 2002, 43, 1555-1562).
Diacylglycerol transferase 2 mRNA is preferentially upregulated by insulin treatment, as shown by in vitro assays measuring the diacylglycerol activity from the membrane fraction of cultured mouse adipocytes (Meegalla et al., Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun., 2002, 298, 317-323). In fasting mice, diacylglycerol transferase 2 expression is greatly reduced, and dramatically increases upon refeeding. The expression patterns of two enzymes that participate in fatty acid synthesis, acetyl-CoA carboxylase and fatty acid synthase, respond to fasting and refeeding in a similar fashion. These results, combined with the observation that diacylglycerol transferase 2 is abundantly expressed in liver, suggest that diacylglycerol transferase 2 is tightly linked to the endogenous fatty acid synthesis pathway (Meegalla et al., Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun., 2002, 298, 317-323).
Studies of mice harboring a disruption in the diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1 gene provide evidence that diacylglycerol acyltransferase 2 contributes to triglyceride synthesis. Levels of diacylglycerol transferase 2 mRNA expression are similar in intestinal segments from both wild type and diacylglycerol transferase 1-deficient mice (Buhman et al., J. Biol. Chem., 2002, 277, 25474-25479). Using magnesium chloride to distinguish between diacylglycerol transferase 1 and 2 activity, Buhman, et al. observed that, in diacylglycerol transferase 1-deficient mice, diacylglycerol transferase activity is reduced to 50% in the proximal intestine and to 10-15% in the distal intestine (Buhman et al., J. Biol. Chem., 2002, 277, 25474-25479).
Additionally, diacylglycerol transferase 2 mRNA levels are not up-regulated the liver or adipose tissues of diacylglycerol transferase 1-deficient mice, even after weeks of high-fat diet (Cases et al., J. Biol. Chem., 2001, 276, 38870-38876; Chen et al., J. Clin. Invest., 2002, 109, 1049-1055). However, in ob/ob mice, which have a mutation in the leptin gene that results in obesity, diacylglycerol transferase 2 is more highly expressed than in wild type mice, suggesting that diacylglycerol transferase 2 may be partly responsible for the highly accumulated fat mass seen in these mice. Furthermore, the combined mutations of leptin and diacylglycerol transferase 1 leads to a three-fold elevation in diacylglycerol transferase 2 expression in white adipose tissue, compared to the levels in the same tissue from diacylglycerol transferase 1-deficient mice (Chen et al., J. Clin. Invest., 2002, 109, 1049-1055). Diacylglycerol transferase 2 mRNA is also upregulated in the skin of these mice (Chen et al., J. Clin. Invest., 2002, 109, 175-181). These data suggest leptin normally downregulates diacylglycerol transferase 2 expression, and that the upregulation of diacylglycerol transferase 2 in white adipose tissue in these mice may provide an alternate pathway for the triglyceride synthesis that still occurs in leptin deficient/diacylglycerol transferase 1-deficient mice (Chen et al., J. Clin. Invest., 2002, 109, 1049-1055).
Diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1 knockout mice exhibit interesting phenotypes in that they are lean, resistant to diet-induce obesity, have decreased levels of tissue triglycerides and increased sensitivity to insulin and leptin (Chen et al., J. Clin. Invest., 2002, 109, 1049-1055; Smith et al., Nat. Genet., 2000, 25, 87-90). As diacylglycerol transferase 2 also participates in triglyceride synthesis, interfering with diacylglycerol transferase 2 may similarly lead to reduced body fat content.

Certain Short Antisense Compounds Targeted to a DGAT2 Nucleic Acid
In certain embodiments, short antisense compounds are targeted to a DGAT2 nucleic acid having the sequence of GENBANK® Accession No. NM—032564.2, incorporated herein as SEQ ID NO: 10. In certain such embodiments, a short antisense compound targeted to SEQ ID NO: 10 is at least 90% complementary to SEQ ID NO: 10. In certain such embodiments, a short antisense compound targeted to SEQ ID NO: 10 is at least 95% complementary to SEQ ID NO: 10. In certain such embodiments, a short antisense compound targeted to SEQ ID NO: 10 is 100% complementary to SEQ ID NO: 10. In certain embodiments, a short antisense compound targeted to SEQ ID NO: 10 includes a nucleotide sequence selected from the nucleotide sequences set forth in Tables 14 and 15.
Each nucleotide sequence set forth in each Tables 14 and 15 is independent of any modification to a sugar moiety, an internucleoside linkage, or a nucleobase. As such, short antisense compounds comprising a nucleotide sequence as set forth in Tables 14 and 15 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 one or more modifications to a sugar moiety, an internucleoside linkage, or a nucleobase.
Tables 14 and 15 illustrate examples of short antisense compounds targeted to SEQ ID NO: 10. Table 14 illustrates short antisense compounds that are 100% complementary to SEQ ID NO: 10. Table 15 illustrates short antisense compounds that have one or two mismatches with respect to SEQ ID NO: 10. The column labeled ‘gapmer motif’ indicates the wing-gap-wing motif of each short antisense compounds. The gap segment comprises 2′-deoxynucleotides and each nucleotide of each wing segment comprises a 2′-modified sugar. The particular 2′-modified sugar is also indicated in the ‘gapmer motif’ column. For example, ‘2-10-2 MOE’ means a 2-10-2 gapmer motif, where a gap segment of ten 2′-deoxynucleotides is flanked by wing segments of two nucleotides, where the nucleotides of the wing segments are 2′-MOE nucleotides. Internucleoside linkages are phosphorothioate. The short antisense compounds comprise 5-methylcytidine in place of unmodified cytosine, unless “unmodified cytosine” is listed in the gapmer motif column, in which case the indicated cytosines are unmodified cytosines. For example, “5-mC in gap only” indicates that the gap segment has 5-methylcytosines, while the wing segments have unmodified cytosines.

9. PTP1B
PTP1B (also known as protein phosphatase 1B and PTPN1) is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated enzyme originally isolated as the major protein tyrosine phosphatase of the human placenta (Tonks et al., J. Biol. Chem., 1988, 263, 6731-6737; Tonks et al., J. Biol. Chem., 1988, 263, 6722-6730).
An essential regulatory role in signaling mediated by the insulin receptor has been established for PTP1B. In certain instances, PTP1B interacts with and dephosphorylates the activated insulin receptor both in vitro and in intact cells resulting in the downregulation of the signaling pathway (Goldstein et al., Mol. Cell. Biochem., 1998, 182, 91-99; Seely et al., Diabetes, 1996, 45, 1379-1385). In addition, PTP1B modulates the mitogenic actions of insulin (Goldstein et al., Mol. Cell. Biochem., 1998, 182, 91-99). In rat adipose cells overexpressing PTP1B, the translocation of the GLUT4 glucose transporter was inhibited, implicating PTP1B as a negative regulator of glucose transport as well (Chen et al., J. Biol. Chem., 1997, 272, 8026-8031).
Mouse knockout models lacking the PTP1B gene also point toward the negative regulation of insulin signaling by PTP1B. Mice harboring a disrupted PTP1B gene showed increased insulin sensitivity and increased phosphorylation of the insulin receptor. When placed on a high-fat diet, PTP1B −/− mice were resistant to weight gain and remained insulin sensitive (Elchebly et al., Science, 1999, 283, 1544-1548). These studies clearly establish PTP1B as a therapeutic target in the treatment of diabetes and obesity.
Diabetes and obesity (sometimes now collectively referred to as “diabesity”) are interrelated. Most human obesity is associated with insulin resistance and leptin resistance. In fact obesity may have an even greater impact on insulin action than does diabetes itself (Sindelka et al., Physiol Res., 2002, 51, 85-91). Syndrome X or metabolic syndrome is a new term for a cluster of conditions, that, when occurring together, may indicate a predisposition to diabetes and cardiovascular disease. These symptoms, including high blood pressure, high triglycerides, decreased HDL and obesity, tend to appear together in some individuals. Because of its role in both diabetes and obesity, PTP1B is believed to be a therapeutic target for a range of metabolic conditions, including diabetes, obesity and metabolic syndrome. By improving blood glucose control, inhibitors of PTP1B may also be useful in slowing, preventing, delaying or ameliorating the sequelae of diabetes, which include retinopathy, neuropathy, cardiovascular complications and nephropathy.
PTP1B, which is differentially regulated during the cell cycle (Schievella et al., Cell. Growth Differ., 1993, 4, 239-246), is expressed in insulin sensitive tissues as two different isoforms that arise from alternate splicing of the pre-mRNA (Shifrin and Neel, J. Biol. Chem., 1993, 268, 25376-25384). The ratio of the alternatively spliced products is affected by growth factors, such as insulin, and differs in various tissues examined (Sell and Reese, Mol. Genet. Metab., 1999, 66, 189-192). In these studies the levels of the variants correlated with the plasma insulin concentration and percentage body fat. These variants may therefore be used as a biomarker for patients with chronic hyperinsulinemia or type 2 diabetes.

In certain such embodiments, a short antisense compound targeted to SEQ ID NO: 14 is at least 95% complementary to SEQ ID NO: 14. In certain such embodiments, a short antisense compound targeted to SEQ ID NO: 15 is 100% complementary to SEQ ID NO: 15. In certain such embodiments, a short antisense compound targeted to SEQ ID NO: 15 is at least 90% complementary to SEQ ID NO: 15. In certain such embodiments, a short antisense compound targeted to SEQ ID NO: 15 is at least 95% complementary to SEQ ID NO: 15. In certain such embodiments, a short antisense compound targeted to SEQ ID NO: 15 is 100% complementary to SEQ ID NO: 15.
In certain embodiments, a short antisense compound targeted to SEQ ID NO: 14 comprises a nucleotide sequence selected from the nucleotide sequences set forth in Tables 20 and 21. In certain embodiments, a short antisense compound targeted to SEQ ID NO: 15 comprises a nucleotide sequence selected from the nucleotide sequences set forth in Tables 22 and 23.
Each nucleotide sequence set forth in Tables 20, 21, 22, and 23 is independent of any modification to a sugar moiety, an internucleoside linkage, or a nucleobase. As such, short antisense compounds comprising a nucleotide sequence as set forth in Tables 20, 21, 22, and 23 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 one or more modifications to a sugar moiety, an internucleoside linkage, or a nucleobase.
Table 20 illustrates short antisense compounds that are 100% complementary to SEQ ID NO: 14. Table 22 illustrates short antisense compounds that are 100% complementary to SEQ ID NO: 15. The column labeled ‘gapmer motif’ indicates the wing-gap-wing motif of each short antisense compounds. The gap segment comprises 2′-deoxynucleotides and each nucleotide of each wing segment comprises a 2′-modified sugar. The particular 2′-modified sugar is also indicated in the ‘gapmer motif’ column. For example, ‘2-10-2 MOE’ means a 2-10-2 gapmer motif, where a gap segment of ten 2′-deoxynucleotides is flanked by wing segments of two nucleotides, where the nucleotides of the wing segments are 2′-MOE nucleotides. Internucleoside linkages are phosphorothioate. The short antisense compounds comprise 5-methylcytidine in place of unmodified cytosine, unless “unmodified cytosine” is listed in the gapmer motif column, in which case the indicated cytosines are unmodified cytosines. For example, “5-mC in gap only” indicates that the gap segment has 5-methylcytosines, while the wing segments have unmodified cytosines.
The 2′-modified nucleotides and abbreviations include: 2′-O-methoxyethyl (MOE); 2′-O-methyl (OMe); 2′-O-(2,2,3,3,3-pentafluoropropyl) (PentaF); 2′-O-[(2-methoxy)ethyl]-4′-thio (2′-MOE-4′-thio). (R)-CMOE-BNA. As illustrated in Tables 20 and 22, a wing may comprise monomers comprising more than type of 2′ substituent. For example, 1-2-10-2 MOE/PentaF/MOE indicates one MOE-modified nucleotide, followed by two PentaF-modified nucleotides, followed by a gap of ten deoxynucleotides, followed by two PentaF-modified nucleotides. For example, 1-1-10-22′-(butylacetomido)-palmitamide Methyleneoxy BNA/Methyleneoxy BNA indicates that the 5′-most nucleotide is 2′-(butylacetomide)-palmitamide, the second nucleotide is a methyleneoxy BNA nucleotide, and the 3′ wing is methyleneoxy BNA. Unless otherwise indicated, cytosines are 5-methylcytosines and internucleoside linkages are phosphorothioate.

Determination of a therapeutically effective amount is well within the capability of those skilled in the art.
In certain embodiments, one or more short antisense compound of the present invention is formulated as a prodrug. In certain embodiments, upon in vivo administration, a prodrug is chemically converted to the biologically, pharmaceutically or therapeutically more active form of the short antisense compound. In certain embodiments, prodrugs are useful because they are easier to administer than the corresponding active form. For example, in certain instances, a prodrug may be more bioavailable (e.g., through oral administration) than is the corresponding active form. In certain instances, a prodrug may have improved solubility compared to the corresponding active form. In certain embodiments, prodrugs are less water soluble than the corresponding active form. In certain instances, such prodrugs possess superior transmittal across cell membranes, where water solubility is detrimental to mobility. In certain embodiments, a prodrug is an ester. In certain such embodiments, the ester is metabolically hydrolyzed to carboxylic acid upon administration. In certain instances the carboxylic acid containing compound is the corresponding active form. In certain embodiments, a prodrug comprises a short peptide (polyaminoacid) bound to an acid group. In certain of such embodiments, the peptide is cleaved upon administration to form the corresponding active form.
In certain embodiments, a prodrug is produced by modifying a pharmaceutically active compound such that the active compound will be regenerated upon in vivo administration. The prodrug can be designed to alter the metabolic stability or the transport characteristics of a drug, to mask side effects or toxicity, to improve the flavor of a drug or to alter other characteristics or properties of a drug. By virtue of knowledge of pharmacodynamic processes and drug metabolism in vivo, those of skill in this art, once a pharmaceutically active compound is known, can design prodrugs of the compound (see, e.g., Nogrady (1985) Medicinal Chemistry A Biochemical Approach, Oxford University Press, New York, pages 388-392).
In certain embodiments, a pharmaceutical composition comprising one or more pharmaceutical agents of the present invention is useful for treating a conditions or disorders in a mammalian, and particularly in a human, subject. Suitable administration routes include, but are not limited to, oral, rectal, transmucosal, intestinal, enteral, topical, suppository, through inhalation, intrathecal, intraventricular, intraperitoneal, intranasal, intraocular and parenteral (e.g., intravenous, intramuscular, intramedullary, and subcutaneous). In certain embodiments, pharmaceutical intrathecals are administered to achieve local rather than systemic exposures. For example, pharmaceutical compositions may be injected directly in the area of desired effect (e.g., in the renal or cardiac area).
In certain embodiments, short antisense compounds, compared to their parent oligonucleotides, make them particularly suited to oral administration. In certain embodiments, short antisense compounds are better suited for oral administration than their parent oligonucleotides because they have increased potency compared to those parent oligonucleotides. In certain embodiments, short antisense compounds are better suited for oral administration than their parent oligonucleotides because they have better stability, availability or solubility properties compared to those parent oligonucleotides.
In a further aspect, a pharmaceutical agent is sterile lyophilized oligonucleotide that is reconstituted with a suitable diluent, e.g., sterile water for injection. The reconstituted product is administered as a subcutaneous injection or as an intravenous infusion after dilution into saline. The lyophilized drug product consists of the oligonucleotide which has been prepared in water for injection, adjusted to pH 7.0-9.0 with acid or base during preparation, and then lyophilized. The lyophilized oligonucleotide may be 25-800 mg of the oligonucleotide. It is understood that this encompasses 25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, 175, 200, 225, 250, 275, 300, 325, 350, 375, 425, 450, 475, 500, 525, 550, 575, 600, 625, 650, 675, 700, 725, 750, 775, and 800 mg of lyophilized oligonucleotide. The lyophilized drug product may be packaged in a 2 mL Type I, clear glass vial (ammonium sulfate-treated), stoppered with a bromobutyl rubber closure and sealed with an aluminum FLIP-OFF® overseal.
The compositions of the present invention may additionally comprise other adjunct components conventionally found in pharmaceutical compositions, at their art-established usage levels. Thus, for example, the compositions may comprise additional, compatible, pharmaceutically-active materials such as, for example, antipruritics, astringents, local anesthetics or anti-inflammatory agents, or may comprise additional materials useful in physically formulating various dosage forms of the compositions of the present invention, such as dyes, flavoring agents, preservatives, antioxidants, opacifiers, thickening agents and stabilizers. However, such materials, when added, should not unduly interfere with the biological activities of the components of the compositions of the present invention. The formulations can be sterilized and, if desired, mixed with auxiliary agents, e.g., lubricants, preservatives, stabilizers, wetting agents, emulsifiers, salts for influencing osmotic pressure, buffers, colorings, flavorings and/or aromatic substances and the like which do not deleteriously interact with the oligonucleotide(s) of the formulation.
The antisense compounds provided herein may also be admixed, encapsulated, conjugated or otherwise associated with other molecules, molecule structures or mixtures of compounds.
Also described herein are pharmaceutical compositions and formulations which include the antisense compounds provided herein. The pharmaceutical compositions may be administered in a number of ways depending upon whether local or systemic treatment is desired and upon the area to be treated. In a preferred embodiment, administration is topical to the surface of the respiratory tract, particularly pulmonary, e.g., by nebulization, inhalation, or insufflation of powders or aerosols, by mouth and/or nose.
The pharmaceutical formulations described herein, which may conveniently be presented in unit dosage form, may be prepared according to conventional techniques well known in the pharmaceutical industry. Such techniques include the step of bringing into association the active ingredients with the pharmaceutical carrier(s) or excipient(s). In general, the formulations are prepared by uniformly and intimately bringing into association the active ingredients with liquid carriers, finely divided solid carriers, or both, and then, if necessary, shaping the product (e.g., into a specific particle size for delivery). In a preferred embodiment, the pharmaceutical formulations are prepared for pulmonary administration in an appropriate solvent, e.g., water or normal saline, possibly in a sterile formulation, with carriers or other agents to allow for the formation of droplets of the desired diameter for delivery using inhalers, nasal delivery devices, nebulizers, and other devices for pulmonary delivery. Alternatively, the pharmaceutical formulations may be formulated as dry powders for use in dry powder inhalers.
A “pharmaceutical carrier” or “excipient” can be a pharmaceutically acceptable solvent, suspending agent or any other pharmacologically inert vehicle for delivering one or more nucleic acids to an individual and are known in the art. The excipient may be liquid or solid and is selected, with the planned manner of administration in mind, so as to provide for the desired bulk, consistency, etc., when combined with a nucleic acid and the other components of a given pharmaceutical composition.
H. CERTAIN THERAPEUTIC USES
In certain embodiments, antisense compounds are used to modulate the expression of a target gene in an animal, such as a human. In certain embodiments, such compounds can be used to treat metabolic disorders or modulate one or more disease indications. For example, the methods comprise the step of administering to said animal in need of therapy for a disease or condition associated with a target gene an effective amount of an antisense compound that modulates expression of the target gene. Antisense compounds provided herein which effectively modulate expression of a target RNA or protein products of expression are considered active antisense compounds. Active antisense compounds also include compounds which effectively modulate one or more of a number of disease indications, including metabolic and cardiovascular disease indications, examples of which are described below.
Modulation of expression of a target gene can be measured in a bodily fluid, which may or may not contain cells; tissue; or organ of the animal. Methods of obtaining samples for analysis, such as body fluids (e.g., sputum, serum, urine), tissues (e.g., biopsy), or organs, and methods of preparation of the samples to allow for analysis are well known to those skilled in the art. Methods for analysis of RNA and protein levels are discussed above and are well known to those skilled in the art. The effects of treatment can be assessed by measuring biomarkers, or disease indications, associated with the target gene expression in the aforementioned fluids, tissues or organs, collected from an animal contacted with one or more compounds described herein, by routine clinical methods known in the art. These biomarkers include but are not limited to: liver transaminases, bilirubin, albumin, blood urea nitrogen, creatine and other markers of kidney and liver function; interleukins, tumor necrosis factors, intracellular adhesion molecules, C-reactive protein, chemokines, cytokines, and other markers of inflammation.
The antisense compounds provided herein can be utilized in pharmaceutical compositions by adding an effective amount of a compound to a suitable pharmaceutically acceptable diluent or carrier. Acceptable carriers and diluents are well known to those skilled in the art. Selection of a diluent or carrier is based on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the solubility of the compound and the route of administration. Such considerations are well understood by those skilled in the art. In one aspect, the antisense compounds described herein inhibit expression of a target gene. The compounds can also be used in the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of diseases and disorders related to a target gene.
Methods whereby bodily fluids, organs or tissues are contacted with an effective amount of one or more of the antisense compounds or compositions provided herein are also contemplated. Bodily fluids, organs or tissues can be contacted with one or more of the compounds resulting in modulation of target gene expression in the cells of bodily fluids, organs or tissues. An effective amount can be determined by monitoring the modulatory effect of the antisense compound or compounds or compositions on target nucleic acids or their products by methods routine to the skilled artisan.

I. KITS, RESEARCH REAGENTS AND DIAGNOSTICS
The antisense compounds provided herein can be utilized for diagnostics, and as research reagents and kits. Furthermore, antisense compounds, which are able to inhibit gene expression or modulate gene expression with specificity, are often used by those of ordinary skill to elucidate the function of particular genes or to distinguish between functions of various members of a biological pathway.
For use in kits and diagnostics, the antisense compounds described herein, either alone or in combination with other compounds or therapeutics, can be used as tools in differential and/or combinatorial analyses to elucidate expression patterns of a portion or the entire complement of genes expressed within cells and tissues. Methods of gene expression analysis are well known to those skilled in the art.
J. CERTAIN ADVANTAGES OF SHORT ANTISENSE COMPOUNDS
In certain embodiments, short antisense compounds have advantages when compared to their parent oligonucleotides. For example, in certain embodiments, short antisense compounds have greater affinity for a target nucleic acid than their parent oligonucleotide. In certain embodiments, short antisense compounds have greater potency in vitro than their parent oligonucleotide. In certain such embodiments, that increased in vitro potency is not entirely explained by increased affinity. In certain embodiments, such increased in vitro potency may be attributable to increased ability of short antisense compounds to penetrate cells and/or increased ability to access target nucleic acids in a cell. In certain embodiments, short antisense compounds have greater potency in vivo than their parent oligonucleotides. In certain embodiments, such greater in vivo potency is not attributable to increased in vitro potency or increased affinity. In certain embodiments, short antisense compounds have even greater in vivo potency compared to their parent oligonucleotides than would be predicted based on in vitro potencies or on affinities. In certain embodiments, such increased in vivo potency may be attributable to increased bioavailability, better penetration into the cell, better access to target nucleic acid once in the cell, or other factors.
In certain embodiments, one would expect short antisense compounds to be less specific for their target nucleic acid compared to their parent oligonucleotides. In certain such embodiments, one would expect increased side-effects, including potential for toxic effects, from short antisense compounds. In certain embodiments, such additional side-effects are not observed. In certain embodiments, non-target nucleic acids to which a particular short antisense compound may bind are not available to the short antisense compound. In such embodiments, side-effects, including toxicity, are less problematic than would be predicted.
In certain embodiments, because they are smaller, short antisense compounds are less likely to bind proteins. In certain such embodiments, such less binding of proteins results in lower toxicity, since protein binding may have undesired consequences. In certain embodiments, such less binding of proteins results in greater potency, since it leaves more antisense compound available for therapeutic effect. In certain embodiments, less binding of proteins results in decreased drug-drug interaction toxicity.
NONLIMITING 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, GenBank accession numbers, and the like recited in the present application is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
Example 1
Cell Culture and Treatment with Short Antisense Compounds
The effect of short antisense compounds on target nucleic acid expression can be tested in any one of a number of cultured or primary cell lines. Cells lines can be obtained from publicly available sources, such as the American Type Culture Collection (Manassas, Va.). Cells are cultured according to methods well known to those of ordinary skill in the art.
When cells reached appropriate confluency, they were treated with oligonucleotide using LIPOFECTIN® as described. When cells reached 65-75% confluency, they were treated with oligonucleotide. Oligonucleotide was mixed with LIPOFECTIN® Invitrogen Life Technologies, Carlsbad, Calif.) in Opti-MEMS-1 reduced serum medium (Invitrogen Life Technologies, Carlsbad, Calif.) to achieve the desired concentration of oligonucleotide and a LIPOFECTIN® concentration of 2.5- or 3 μg/mL per 100 nM oligonucleotide. This transfection mixture was incubated at room temperature for approximately 0.5 hours. For cells grown in 96-well plates, wells were washed once with 100 μL OPTI-MEM®-1 and then treated with 130 μL of the transfection mixture. Cells grown in 24-well plates or other standard tissue culture plates were treated similarly, using appropriate volumes of medium and oligonucleotide. Cells were treated and data were obtained in duplicate or triplicate. After approximately 4-7 hours of treatment at 37° C., the medium containing the transfection mixture was replaced with fresh culture medium. Cells were harvested 16-24 hours after oligonucleotide treatment.
Control oligonucleotides are used to determine the optimal oligomeric compound concentration for a particular cell line. Furthermore, when oligomeric compounds are tested in oligomeric compound screening experiments or phenotypic assays, control oligonucleotides are tested in parallel.
The concentration of oligonucleotide used varies from cell line to cell line. To determine the optimal oligonucleotide concentration for a particular cell line, the cells are treated with a positive control oligonucleotide at a range of concentrations. The concentration of positive control oligonucleotide that results in 80% inhibition of the target mRNA is then utilized as the screening concentration for new oligonucleotides in subsequent experiments for that cell line. If 80% inhibition is not achieved, the lowest concentration of positive control oligonucleotide that results in 60% inhibition of the target mRNA is then utilized as the oligonucleotide screening concentration in subsequent experiments for that cell line. If 60% inhibition is not achieved, that particular cell line is deemed as unsuitable for oligonucleotide transfection experiments. The concentrations of antisense oligonucleotides used herein are from 50 nM to 300 nM when the antisense oligonucleotide is transfected using a liposome reagent and 1 nM to 40 nM when the antisense oligonucleotide is transfected by electroporation.
Example 2
Real-time Quantitative PCR Analysis of Target mRNA Levels
Quantitation of target mRNA levels was accomplished by real-time quantitative PCR using the ABI PRISM® 7600, 7700, or 7900 Sequence Detection System (PE-Applied Biosystems, Foster City, Calif.) according to manufacturer's instructions.
Prior to quantitative PCR analysis, primer-probe sets specific to the target gene being measured were evaluated for their ability to be “multiplexed” with a GAPDH amplification reaction. After isolation the RNA is subjected to sequential reverse transcriptase (RT) reaction and real-time PCR, both of which are performed in the same well. RT and PCR reagents were obtained from Invitrogen Life Technologies (Carlsbad, Calif.). RT, real-time PCR was carried out in the same by adding 20 μL PCR cocktail (2.5×PCR buffer minus MgCl2, 6.6 mM MgCl2, 375 μM each of DATP, dCTP, dCTP and dGTP, 375 nM each of forward primer and reverse primer, 125 nM of probe, 4 Units RNAse inhibitor, 1.25 Units PLATINUM® Taq, 5 Units MuLV reverse transcriptase, and 2.5×ROX dye) to 96-well plates containing 30 μL total RNA solution (20-200 ng). The RT reaction was carried out by incubation for 30 minutes at 48° C. Following a 10 minute incubation at 95° C. to activate the PLATINUM® Taq, 40 cycles of a two-step PCR protocol were carried out: 95° C. for 15 seconds (denaturation) followed by 60° C. for 1.5 minutes (annealing/extension).
Gene target quantities obtained by RT, real-time PCR were normalized using either the expression level of GAPDH, a gene whose expression is constant, or by quantifying total RNA using RiboGreen® (Molecular Probes, Inc. Eugene, Oreg.). GAPDH expression was quantified by RT, real-time PCR, by being run simultaneously with the target, multiplexing, or separately. Total RNA was quantified using RiboGreen® RNA quantification reagent (Molecular Probes, Inc. Eugene, Oreg.).
170 μL of RiboGreen® working reagent (RiboGreen® reagent diluted 1:350 in 10 mM Tris-HCl, 1 mM EDTA, pH 7.5) was pipetted into a 96-well plate containing 30 μL purified cellular RNA. The plate was read in a CytoFluor 4000 (PE Applied Biosystems) with excitation at 485 nm and emission at 530 nm.
The GAPDH PCR probes have JOE covalently linked to the 5′ end and TAMRA or MGB covalently linked to the 3′ end, where JOE is the fluorescent reporter dye and TAMRA or MGB is the quencher dye. In some cell types, primers and probe designed to a GAPDH sequence from a different species are used to measure GAPDH expression. For example, a human GAPDH primer and probe set is used to measure GAPDH expression in monkey-derived cells and cell lines.
Probes and primers for use in real-time PCR were designed to hybridize to target nucleic acids using routine methods. For example, PrimerExpress® (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, Calif.) software is routinely used to design probes and primers for use in real-time PCR. Examples of primer and probe sequences and the target nucleic acids to which they hybridize are presented in Table 24. The target-specific PCR probes have FAM covalently linked to the 5′ end and TAMRA or MGB covalently linked to the 3′ end, where FAM is the fluorescent dye and TAMRA or MGB is the quencher dye.

Example 3
Short Antisense Compounds Targeted to an ApoB Nucleic Acid and having 2′-MOE or Methyleneoxy (4′-CH2—O-2′) BNA Modifications
Six-week old male Balb/c mice (Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, Me.) were injected intraperitoneally (i.p.) with antisense compounds targeted to ApoB, at a frequency of twice per week for three weeks. Antisense compound doses included 2.4, 1.2, 0.6, 0.3 and 0.15 μmol/kg. For antisense compounds 14 nucleotides in length, these doses equate to approximately 12, 6, 3, 1.5 or 0.75 mg/kg, respectively. Shown in Table 25 are the sequences and motifs of the antisense compounds used in this study. The antisense compounds are either 20 or 14 nucleotides in length and have a central “gap” region consisting of ten 2′-deoxynucleotides flanked by wings having 2′-O-methoxyethyl (2′-MOE) or BNA modified “wings.” For example, the 2-10-2 MOE gapmer motif indicates an antisense compound with a gap of ten nucleotides flanked by 2 nucleotide wings with 2′-MOE modifications. Bolded residues indicate 2′-O-methoxyethyl moieties and italicized residues indicate methyleneoxy (4′-CH2—O-2′) BNAs. The internucleoside linkages of each compound are phosphorothioate throughout. All cytosine residues of ISIS 147764 and ISIS 372938 are replaced by 5-methyl cytosines. For ISIS 387462, only the cytosine residue in the wing of the compound is replaced by 5-methyl cytosine. ApoB antisense compounds are targeted to publicly available ApoB-100 sequences, including Genbank Accession No. XM—137955.5 (SEQ ID NO: 2).

Treatment with ISIS 387462 resulted in a significant and dose-dependent decrease in triglycerides, total cholesterol, HDL, LDL and free fatty acids. In accordance with these phenotypic findings, treatment with ISIS 387462 also led to a dose-dependent reduction in ApoB mRNA (Table 29) and protein (not shown) levels in mouse plasma. To determine whether the observed increase in efficiency with the methyleneoxy (4′-CH2—O-2′) BNA gapmer is due to an increase in oligonucleotide accumulation, full-length and total oligonucleotide concentration in the liver and kidney were determined.

Levels of the 2-10-2 methyleneoxy (4′-CH2—O-2′) BNA gapmer were similar to the 5-10-5 and 2-10-2 MOE gapmers in the kidney, but significantly reduced in the liver. The EC50 for ISIS 387462 in the liver was determined by comparing oligonucleotide concentration in the liver to inhibition of ApoB mRNA. The approximate EC50 for ISIS 387462 is 1 μM. In contrast, an effective 5-10-5 MOE gapmer compound typically has an EC50 of approximately 15 μM in the liver.
Taken together, these results demonstrate that the ApoB short gapmer having methyleneoxy (4′-CH2—O-2′) in the wings is a potent inhibitor of target mRNA expression and can effectively lower triglycerides, cholesterol and free fatty acids. The potency of the short antisense compound does not appear to be a result of increased tissue accumulation since similar levels of the compound were observed in kidney and reduced levels were found in the liver, relative to the 5-10-5 MOE gapmer. In addition, the methyleneoxy (4′-CH2—O-2′) BNA gapmer exhibited little to no adverse side effects.
Example 4
Short Antisense Compounds Targeted to a GCGR Nucleic Acid and Having 2′-MOE Modifications
Eight-week old male C57/BL6 mice (Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, Me.) were administered a single dose of GCGR oligonucleotide by intraperitoneal injection at a concentration of 6.25, 12.5, 25 or 50 mg. Each dose group consisted of four animals. Shown in Table 31 are the sequences, motifs and conjugates of the GCGR antisense compounds used in this study. Bolded residues indicate 2′-O-methoxyethyl (2′-MOE) moieties. All compounds comprise phosphorothioate internucleoside linkages throughout and each cytosine is replaced with 5-methylcytosine. ISIS 386626, ISIS 386627 and ISIS 386628 further comprise a C16 conjugate group attached to the 2′-O position of the sugar via a diamide linkage (2′-OCH2C(═O)N(H)(CH2)4N(H)C(═O)—(CH2)15CH3). GCGR antisense compounds target published GCGR sequences, including Genbank® Accession No. BC031885.1 (SEQ ID NO: 7).

GCGR 2-10-2 MOE gapmers exhibited a trend toward lower post-bleed triglyceride levels, relative to the 5-10-5 MOE gapmer, with ISIS 386628 and ISIS 386594 having the greatest dose-dependent effect. Glucose levels also were decreased in a dose-dependent manner following treatment with ISIS 386626 and ISIS 386627. Treatment with ISIS 386628, ISIS 386593 and ISIS 386594 also generally led to a decrease in post-bleed glucose levels. Cholesterol levels did not appear to significantly differ among treatment groups.
To determine whether the phenotypic changes shown above correlated with a decrease in GCGR mRNA, treated animals were evaluated for levels of target mRNA in liver by real time PCR according to methods described herein. Tables 35 to 41 show results from direct comparisons of the antisense compounds targeting GCGR nucleic acid for their effect on target expression. Results are expressed as percent of saline control.

Treatment with the 2-10-2 MOE gapmers led to a significant dose-dependent decrease in GCGR mRNA expression. ISIS 386626 exhibited the greatest decrease in target mRNA. To determine whether the observed increase in efficiency with the short antisense compounds is due to an increase in antisense compound accumulation, full-length and total antisense compound concentration in the liver and kidney were determined.

The results shown in Table 42 demonstrate that short antisense compounds comprising a C16 conjugate exhibit a significant increase in antisense compound accumulation in both liver and kidney. However, ISIS 386593, which was effective at reducing target mRNA, triglycerides and glucose levels, accumulates to a level similar to the 5-10-5 MOE gapmer in liver and to a lower level in kidney. These results suggest that while conjugation with C16 can increase liver and kidney antisense compound concentration, it does not entirely account for the effectiveness of the short antisense compounds.
Taken together, these results demonstrate that GCGR short antisense compounds are capable of significantly inhibiting target mRNA expression while also lowering triglyceride and glucose levels. In addition, with the exception of ISIS 386627, the short MOE gapmers exhibited little to no toxic effects.
Example 5
Short Antisense Compounds Targeting to a GCGR Nucleic Acid and Having 2′-MOE and Methyleneoxy (4′-CH2—O-2′) BNA Modifications
Eight-week old male C57/BL6 mice (Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, Me.) were administered a single dose of GCGR antisense compound by intraperitonel (i.p.) injection at a concentration of 10, 3.2, 1, and 0.32 μmol·kg. Each dose group consisted of four animals. Shown in Table 43 are the sequences, motifs and conjugates of the GCGR antisense compounds used in this study. Bolded residues indicate 2′-O-methoxyethyl (2′-MOE) modifications and the italicized residues indicate methyleneoxy (4′-CH2—O-2′) BNA modifications. All antisense compounds comprise phosphorothioate internucleoside linkages throughout and each cytosine is replaced with 5-methylcytosine. GCGR antisense compounds target published GCGR nucleic acids, including Genbank Accession No. BC031885.1 (SEQ ID NO: 7).

As shown in Table 44, each short antisense compound having methyleneoxy (4′-CH2—O-2′) BNA modifications demonstrated a dose-dependent reduction in GCGR mRNA levels. Furthermore, the short antisense compounds were more effective at target reduction than the 5-10-5 MOE gapmer. Each short antisense compound comprising methyleneoxy (4′-CH2—O-2′) BNA in the wings resulted in a significant reduction in GCGR protein relative to both saline control and ISIS 148364 treatment. Next, estimated ED50 concentrations for each antisense were calculated using Graphpad Prism; ED50 is the dose at which 50% mRNA reduction is observed. The results are shown below in Table 45.

As shown in Table 48, each antisense compound targeted to a PTEN nucleic acid led to a significant reduction in target mRNA levels in liver as compared with saline treated and control treated animals. The antisense compounds had various effects on target mRNA levels in kidney and fat.
Example 7
Short Antisense Compounds Targeting a PTEN Nucleic Acid and having BNA Modifications
Six-week old male Balb/c mice (Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, Me.) were administered a single intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of antisense compound targeted a PTEN nucleic acid at a dose of 8, 4, 2 or 1 μmol/kg. Each dose group consisted of four animals. Shown in Table 49 are the sequence, wing chemistry and motif of each antisense compound used in this study. Bold residues indicate 2′-MOE modified nucleotides, italicized letters indicate methyleneoxy (4′-CH2—O-2′) BNA modifications. All antisense compounds comprise phosphorothioate linkages at each position. Each cytosine of ISIS 116847 and the cytosine residues in the methyleneoxy (4′-CH2—O-2′) BNA wings of ISIS 392063 are replaced with 5-methylcytosines, while the thymidine residues in the methyleneoxy (4′-CH2—O-2′) BNA wings of ISIS 392745 are replaced with 5-methyl thymidines.

As shown in Table 51, each short antisense compound having methyleneoxy (4′-CH2—O-2′) BNA modifications demonstrated a dose-dependent reduction in PTEN mRNA levels. Furthermore, the short antisense compounds were more effective at target reduction than the 5-10-5 MOE gapmer. Levels of PTEN protein in liver were also determined following administration of each antisense compound at a dose of 8 μmol/kg. Each short antisense compound comprising methyleneoxy (4′-CH2—O-2′) BNA in the wings resulted in a significant reduction in PTEN protein relative to both saline control and ISIS 116847 treatment. Next, estimated ED50 concentrations for each oligonucleotide were calculated using Graphpad Prism. The results are shown below in Table 52.

To further investigate different types of bicyclic nucleic acid compounds, an additional set of short antisense compounds targeting a PTEN nucleic acid was designed and tested. Six-week old male Balb/c mice (Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, Me.) were administered a single intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of antisense compound at a dose of 8, 4, 2 or 1 μmol/kg. Each dose group consisted of four animals. Shown in Table 53 are the sequence, wing chemistry and motif of each antisense compound used in this study. All antisense compounds comprise phosphorothioate linkages at each position. The cytosine residues in the methyleneoxy (4′-CH2—O-2′) BNA wings of ISIS 392063 are replaced with 5-methylcytosines. The antisense compound target published PTEN nucleic acids, including Genbank Accession No. U92437.1 (SEQ ID NO: 13).

As shown above, short antisense compounds having α-L-methyleneoxy (4′-CH2—O-2′) BNA modifications led to a dose-dependent reduction in target mRNA levels. Treatment with the short antisense compound having oxyamino BNA modifications led to a modest reduction in target expression.
Example 8
Single Dose Administration Dose Response Study with Short Antisense Compounds Targeting ApoB and PTEN Nucleic Acids
Six-week old male Balb/c mice (Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, Me.) were administered a single intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of antisense compound at a dose of 8, 4, 2 or 1 μmol/kg. Each dose group consisted of four animals. Shown in Table 56 are the sequence, wing chemistry and motif of each antisense compound used in this study. Italicized residues indicate methyleneoxy (4′-CH2—O-2′) BNA modifications, underlined residues indicate N-methyl-oxyamino (4′-CH2—N(CH3)—O-2′) BNA modifications, and boxed residues indicate α-L-methyleneoxy (4′-CH2—O-2′) BNA modifications. All antisense compounds comprise phosphorothioate linkages at each position. Each cytosine of ISIS 116847 and the cytosine residues in the methyleneoxy (4′-CH2—O-2′) BNA wings of ISIS 392063 are replaced with 5-methylcytosines, while the thymidine residues in the methyleneoxy (4′-CH2—O-2′) BNA wings of ISIS 392745 are replaced with 5-methyl thymidines.

As shown in Table 57, each short antisense compound having Methyleneoxy BNA modifications demonstrated a dose-dependent reduction in target mRNA levels. Notably, the short antisense compound with N-methyl-oxyamino BNA wings (ISIS 396565) also demonstrated dose-dependent reduction in PTEN expression similar to both the β-D-methyleneoxy BNA and α-L-methyleneoxy BNA short antisense compounds. Next, estimated ED50 concentrations for each antisense were calculated using Graphpad Prism. The results are shown below in Table 58.

Example 9
Administration of a Parent and Parent Mixed Backbone Antisense Compound Targeting SGLT-2 mRNA
ISIS 257016 was administered to db/db mice (Charles River Laboratories, Wilmington, Mass.) intraperitoneally at a dose of 1, 7.5, 14 or 17 mg/kg twice a week. Control groups included a group receiving saline on the same dosing schedule and a group receiving ISIS 145733. ISIS 257016 and ISIS 145733 both comprise the sequence GAAGTAGCCACCAACTGTGC (SEQ ID NO: 1572) further comprising a central “gap” region consisting of ten 2′-deoxynucleotides, which is flanked on both sides (5′ and 3′ directions) by five-nucleotide “wings”. The wings are composed of 2′-methoxyethyl (2′-MOE) nucleotides. All cytidine residues are 5-methylcytidines. The internucleoside (backbone) linkages are phosphorothioate (P═S) throughout the oligonucleotide for ISIS 145733; however ISIS 257016 has a mixed backbone. The internucleoside linkages for ISIS 257016 are phosphodiester (P═O) in the wings and phosphorothioate in the gap. Forty-eight hours following administration of the last dose the mice were sacrificed and kidney tissue was analyzed for SGLT-2 mRNA levels. The results are shown below in Table 59.

Both ISIS 257016 and ISIS 145733 markedly reduced SGLT-2 levels compared to saline control. (mRNA levels determined using RT, real-time PCR as described above) However, ISIS 257016 has been shown to be about 20-50 times more potent for reducing SGLT-2 mRNA compared to ISIS 145733. An associated reduction in plasma glucose levels was seen for the treatment groups (661±14 for the saline group compared to 470±23 for the group receiving ISIS 257016). Accumulation of ISIS 257016 and ISIS 145733 in the kidney was similar over the dose range, however little of the full length 257016 antisense was detected in the kidney which supports the theory that a degradation product is responsible for the increased activity. Also the onset of action following a single dose of 25 mg/kg correlated to a time pint were little intact 257016 antisense compound was left.
Similar studies were performed in lean mice, ob/ob mice and in ZDF rats (Charles Rivers Laboratories) using ISIS 257016, ISIS 145733 or saline in a similar same dosing schedule as described above. The sequence of the binding site for ISIS 145733 and ISIS 257016 is conserved between mouse and rat (see Table 60). Reduction of SGLT-2 mRNA in the kidney was similar to that seen above. In a study utilizing rats, at a dose of 10 mg/kg given two times a week for two weeks, ISIS 145733 was shown to reduce SGLT-2 mRNA levels by about 40% whereas the reduction achieved with ISIS 257016 was greater than 80%. ISIS 257016 reduces SGLT2 expression maximally at a low dose of 12.5 mg/kg. Additional studies at lower dosing ranges show significant reduction of SGLT2 mRNA levels with the mixed backbone antisense compound at doses less than 1 mg/kg/wk.
Example 10
Administration of a Parent and Short Antisense Compound Targeting SGLT-2 mRNA
Pharmacokinetic studies indicated that ISIS 257016 was acting as a prodrug that was metabolized to a 12 nucleobase pharmacophore. In a next study, ZDF rats were dosed intraperitoneally twice per week with 1.5 mg/kg of either ISIS 257016 or ISIS 370717, or with saline at a similar dosing schedule. ISIS 370717 is a 12 nucleobase antisense compound targeted to SGLT-2 nucleic acid comprising the sequence TAGCCACCAACT (SEQ ID NO: 154) and further comprising central “gap” region consisting of ten 2′-deoxynucleotides, which is flanked on both sides (5′ and 3′ directions) by one-nucleotide “wings”. The wings are composed of 2′-methoxyethyl (2′-MOE) nucleotides. All cytidine residues are 5-methylcytidines. The internucleoside (backbone) linkages are phosphorothioate (P═S) throughout the oligonucleotide.
Following five weeks of dosing the animals were sacrificed and kidney tissue was analyzed for SGLT-2 mRNA levels. The pharmacological activity of ISIS 257016 and ISIS 370717 were similar, however, the 12 nucleotide antisense compound displayed a faster onset of action. ISIS 370717 displayed nearly 80% inhibition of SGLT2 expression in kidney on day two after a single dose of 2.8 umoles/kg whereas ISIS 257016 displayed only about 25% inhibition on day 2 after the same single dose administration. The date support that ISIS 257016 is a prodrug having a 12 nucleotide pharmacophore.
Example 11
Potency and Bioavailability of a Short Antisense Compound
The improved potency displayed by ISIS 370717 and the improved oral bioavailability for these short antisense compounds makes these compounds useful for oral administration. Normal rats received ISIS 370717, ISIS 145733 or saline at 100 mg/kg twice per week via intrajejunal administration. About 48 hours following the last dose, the animals were sacrificed and kidney tissue was analyzed for antisense compound concentration and SGLT-2 mRNA levels. There was a significantly higher accumulation of ISIS 370717 in the kidney tissue (approximately 500 micro grams per gram of tissue) compared to the controls. Moreover, SGLT-2 mRNA was reduced by more than 80% over the controls.
Example 12
Wing, Gap and Total Length Variations Around a 12 Nucleotide Short Antisense Compound
ISIS 370717 1-10-1 MOE gapmer was used as a template to make sequence related oligos with varying motifs. These variations are provided in Table 60. The antisense compounds were designed to target different regions of the mouse or rat SGLT2 nucleic acid, using published sequences (GenBank accession number U29881.1, incorporated herein as SEQ ID NO: 1575, and GenBank accession number AJ292928.1, incorporated herein as SEQ ID NO: 1576, respectively).

The short antisense compounds were analyzed for their effect on rat SGLT2 mRNA levels. Data are ranges taken from three experiments in which Male Sprague-Dawley rats (170-200 g) were dosed twice per week for three weeks with 450, 150 or 50 nmol/kg of either a 1-10-1 or 1-10-2 MOE gapmer given by intraperitoneal injection. Rats were sacrificed 48 hours following last administration and evaluated for SGLT2 mRNA levels in kidney. Target levels were determined by RT, real-time PCR as described by other examples herein. PCR results were normalized to an internal ISIS control. The results are shown below in Table 63.

These results illustrate that both the 1-10-1 and 1-10-2 MOE gapmers reduce SGLT2 mRNA in vivo in a dose-dependent manner.
Rats were further evaluated for total body weight, liver, spleen and kidney weight. Significant changes in spleen, liver or body weight can indicate that a particular compound causes toxic effects. All changes were within the margin of error of the experiment. No significant changes in body weight were observed during the treatment or at study termination. No significant changes in liver or spleen weights were observed.
Toxic effects of short antisense compounds administered in vivo can also be assessed by measuring the levels of enzymes and proteins associated with disease or injury of the liver or kidney. Elevations in the levels of the serum transaminases aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) are often indicators of liver disease or injury. Serum total bilirubin is an indicator of liver and biliary function, and albumin and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) are indicators of renal function. Glucose and triglyceride levels are sometimes altered due to toxicity of a treatment. Serum glucose also depends in part upon the activity of SGLT2. The levels of ALT, AST, total bilirubin, albumin, BUN, glucose and triglyceride were measured in rats treated with the short antisense compounds. The levels of routine clinical indicators of liver and kidney injury and disease were within normal ranges and are not significantly changed relative to saline-treated animals, demonstrating that the short antisense compounds do not significantly affect renal or hepatic function. Triglyceride and glucose levels were not significantly elevated relative to saline-treated animals.

Antisense Inhibition of Mouse and Rat SGLT2 Expression by Additional 1-10-1 and 2-8-2 MOE Gapmers
1-10-1 and 2-8-2 MOE gapmer short antisense compounds were designed to target different regions of the mouse SGLT2 RNA but have complementarity across species. The short antisense compounds are shown in Table 67. All short antisense compounds in Table 67 are gapmers 12 nucleotides in length, composed of a central “gap” segment consisting of 2′-deoxynucleotides, which are flanked on both sides (5′ and 3′ directions) by wing segments having 2′-modifications. The wings are composed of 2′-methoxyethyl (2′-MOE) nucleotides. The internucleoside (backbone) linkages are phosphorothioate (P═S) throughout the oligonucleotide. All cytidine residues are 5-methylcytidines.

These results illustrate that both the 1-10-1 and 2-8-2 MOE gapmers inhibit the expression of SGLT2 in vivo in a dose-dependent manner.
Mice were further evaluated for total body weight, liver, spleen and kidney weight. All changes were within the margin of error of the experiment. No significant changes in body weight were observed during the treatment or at study termination. No significant changes in liver or spleen weights were observed.
The levels of ALT, AST, BUN, transaminases, plasma creatinine, glucose and triglyceride were measured in mice treated with the short antisense compounds. The levels of routine clinical indicators of liver and kidney injury and disease were within normal ranges and are not significantly changed relative to saline-treated animals, demonstrating that the short antisense compounds do not significantly affect renal or hepatic function. Triglyceride and glucose levels were not significantly elevated relative to saline-treated animals.

Example 16
Antisense Inhibition of SGLT2 Expression in ZDF Rat
ISIS 388625, 388626 and control oligo ISIS 388628 were analyzed for their effect on ZDF rat plasma glucose levels and HbA1c. The leptin receptor deficient Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rat is a useful model for the investigation of type 2 diabetes. Diabetes develops spontaneously in these male rats at ages 8-10 weeks, and is associated with hyperphagia, polyuria, polydipsia, and impaired weight gain, symptoms which parallel the clinical symptoms of diabetes (Phillips M S, et al., 1996, Nat Genet 13, 18-19). Six week old ZDF rats were injected intraperitoneally with short antisense compound at a dose of 400 nM/kg once a week for twelve weeks. Data are illustrated in Tables 71 and 72.

These results illustrate that greater than 80% reduction of SGLT2 mRNA can be achieved at a 1 mg/kg/wk dose of ISIS 388625. Even greater reduction can be achieved at slightly higher doses. Administration of ISIS 388625 in dog was also shown to improve glucose tolerance. Peak plasma glucose levels were decreased by over 50% on average and the subsequent drop in glucose was lessened compared to saline controls in a standard glucose tolerance test. Urinary glucose excretion was also increased.
Example 18
In Vivo Testing of Short Antisense Compounds Targeted to SGLT2 Nucleic Acid
Twenty 1-10-1 MOE gapmers that are complementary to human/monkey/mouse/rat SGLT2 were designed, synthesized and tested in vivo for suppression of SGLT2 mRNA levels in kidney. Target sites for mouse and rat are indicated in Table 74. Target sites for human are indicated in Tables 4 and 5. Data are averages from two experiments in which male 6-week old Balb/c mice were administered intraperitoneal injections of 350 nmol/kg of oligonucleotide, twice per week, over a period of two weeks (a total of four injections). Mice were sacrificed 48 hours following the last administration and evaluated for SGLT2 mRNA levels in kidney. SGLT2 mRNA levels were determined by quantitative real-time PCR analysis according to standard procedures, using two different PCR primer probe sets, primer probe set (PPS) 534 and PPS 553. SGLT2 mRNA levels were normalized to cyclophilin mRNA levels, which were also measured by quantitative real-time PCR. The results are shown below in Table 74.

Example 19
Antisense Inhibition of Human PCSK9 in Hep3B Cells
Short antisense compounds targeted to a PCSK9 nucleic acid were tested for their effects on PCSK9 mRNA in vitro. The short antisense compounds are presented in Table 6. The Isis No, gapmer motif and SEQ ID NO of each short antisense compound are shown again in Table 75. Cultured Hep3B cells were treated with 100 nM of short antisense compound. 5-10-5 MOE gapmers targeted to a PCSK9 nucleic acid were used as positive controls. After the treatment period, RNA was isolated from the cells and PCSK9 mRNA levels were measured by quantitative real-time PCR, as described herein. PCSK9 mRNA levels were adjusted according to total RNA content as measured by RIBOGREEN®. Results are presented in Table 75 as percent inhibition of PCSK9 (% Inhib), relative to untreated control cells. In the “% Inhib” column, a “0” indicates that no reduction of PCSK9 mRNA was observed with that particular short antisense compound.

As illustrated in Table 75, short antisense compounds targeted to a PCSK9 nucleic acid, having a 2-10-2 MOE gapmer motif, reduced PCSK9 mRNA in cultured cells.
Short antisense compounds targeted to a PCSK9 nucleic acid were tested in a dose response experiment Hep3B cells. Cells were treated as described herein with nM concentrations of short antisense compound as indicated in Tables 76. After the treatment period, RNA was isolated from the cells and PCSK9 mRNA levels were measured by quantitative real-time PCR, as described herein. PCSK9 mRNA levels were normalized to cyclophilin mRNA levels, as measured by real-time PCR using a cyclophilin-specific primer probe set. Results are presented as percent inhibition of PCSK9, relative to untreated control cells. Also shown is the EC50 (concentration at which 50% reduction of mRNA is observed) for each short antisense compound tested in the dose response experiment, as calculated using Graphpad Prism. As illustrated in the following table, PCSK9 mRNA levels were reduced in a dose-dependent manner.

Antisense Inhibition of PTP1B in HuVEC Cells: Dose Response Experiment
Human vascular endothelial (HuVEC) cells were plated at a density of 5000 cells per well and treated as described herein with nM concentrations of short antisense compound as indicated in Table 86. After the treatment period, RNA was isolated from the cells and PTP1B mRNA levels were measured by quantitative real-time PCR, as described herein. PTP1B mRNA levels were adjusted according to total RNA content as measured by RIBOGREEN®. Two different human PTP1B primer probe sets were used to measure mRNA levels. Results with Primer Probe Set (PPS) 198 are shown in Table 86, and results with Primer Probe Set (PPS) 3000 are shown in Table 87. Results are presented as percent inhibition of PTP1B mRNA expression relative to untreated control cells. Where present, “0” indicates that no PTP1B mRNA reduction was observed. As illustrated in Tables 86 and 87, PTP1B mRNA levels were reduced in a dose-dependent manner.
