Abstract

Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is a multisystemic disease caused by an expanded CTG repeat in the 3' UTR of the dystrophia myotonica protein kinase (DMPK) gene. Short, DNA-based antisense oligonucleotides termed gapmers are a promising strategy to degrade toxic CUG expanded repeat (CUG) RNA. Nucleoside analogs are incorporated to increase gapmer affinity and stability; however, some analogs also exhibit toxicity. In this study, we demonstrate that the 2',4'-BNA[NMe] (BNA) modification is a promising nucleoside analog with high potency similar to 2',4'-LNA (LNA). BNA gapmers targeting a nonrepetitive region of the DMPK 3' UTR show allele-specific knockdown of CUG RNA and revert characteristic DM1 molecular defects including mis-splicing and accumulation of RNA foci. Notably, the BNA gapmers tested in this study did not induce caspase activation, in contrast to a sequence matched LNA gapmer. This study indicates that BNA gapmers warrant further study as a promising RNA targeting therapeutic.

摘要

1型强直性肌营养不良症(DM1)是一种多系统疾病,由肌强直性营养不良蛋白激酶(DMPK)基因3'非翻译区的CTG重复序列扩增引起。短的、基于DNA的反义寡核苷酸(称为gapmer)是降解有毒CUG扩增重复序列(CUG)RNA的一种有前景的策略。掺入核苷类似物以增加gapmer的亲和力和稳定性;然而,一些类似物也表现出毒性。在本研究中,我们证明2',4'-BNA[NMe](BNA)修饰是一种有前景的核苷类似物,其效力与2',4'-锁核酸(LNA)相似。靶向DMPK 3'非翻译区非重复区域的BNA gapmer显示CUG RNA的等位基因特异性敲低,并逆转包括剪接错误和RNA病灶积累在内的特征性DM1分子缺陷。值得注意的是,与序列匹配的LNA gapmer相比,本研究中测试的BNA gapmer未诱导半胱天冬酶激活。本研究表明,BNA gapmer作为一种有前景的RNA靶向治疗药物值得进一步研究。
