A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11872287B2) discloses a method for treating muscle atrophy or myotonic dystrophy in a subject by administering an siRNA molecule conjugate. The conjugate consists of an anti-transferrin receptor binding moiety attached to an siRNA molecule that targets a specific sequence in the human DMPK mRNA, leading to RNA interference primarily in muscle cells. This treatment approach aims to address muscle atrophy or myotonic dystrophy by targeting the DMPK mRNA sequence, excluding CUG repeats, in exons 1-13 of the human DMPK mRNA.
The method outlined in the patent involves the use of modified nucleotides, internucleotide linkages, and abasic moieties in the siRNA molecule, along with a specific length range for the molecule. Additionally, the conjugate includes a linker connecting the anti-transferrin receptor binding moiety to the siRNA molecule. The patent also specifies the formulation for parenteral administration of the siRNA molecule conjugate and the use of an anti-transferrin receptor antibody or its antigen binding fragment as the binding moiety. This innovative method offers a targeted approach to treating muscle atrophy or myotonic dystrophy, particularly associated with myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1), by leveraging RNA interference mechanisms in muscle cells.
