Treatment of muscle dystrophy using polynucleic acid molecules
A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20230398231A1) discloses a polynucleic acid molecule designed to target a specific sequence of DMPK mRNA. The molecule consists of a sense strand with a nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 and an antisense strand with a nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2. Notably, the antisense strand incorporates 2'-F modified nucleotides at specific positions from the 5'-end, enhancing its efficacy in targeting the mRNA transcript.
Furthermore, the patent claims a polynucleic acid molecule conjugate that includes an anti-transferrin receptor antibody or its antigen binding fragment linked to the polynucleic acid molecule. This conjugate aims to target the DMPK mRNA transcript effectively. The patent also outlines a method for treating muscular dystrophy using the disclosed polynucleic acid molecule or its conjugate, which works by reducing the quantity of the mRNA transcript of human DMPK. This innovative approach holds promise for potential therapeutic interventions in individuals with muscular dystrophy, showcasing the application of advanced nucleic acid technology in addressing genetic disorders.
