COMPOSITIONS FOR AND METHODS OF MODULATING TRANS-SPLICING EFFICIENCY I. CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 63 / 704,264 filed 7 October 2024, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. II. REFERENCE TO THE SEQUENCE LISTING
[0002] The Sequence Listing submitted 7 October 2025 as an XML file named “24-3023- WO_SL”, created on 6 October 2025 and having a size of 7,053,312 bytes, is hereby incorporated by reference pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 1.52(e)(5). III. BACKGROUND
[0003] In eukaryotes, a large ribonucleoprotein complex called the spliceosome cuts out non- coding introns from protein-coding genes. In most cases, constituents of the spliceosome recognize exon-intron boundaries at the 5’ and 3’ splice sites, remove the intron and ligate adjacent exons within the same pre-mRNA molecule, a process referred to as ‘cis-splicing’. Pre-mRNA ‘trans-splicing’, a less common form of natural RNA splicing, occurs when splice sites from two separate pre-mRNAs are recombined due to interactions between their introns. Although endogenous trans-splicing is rare in mammals, several types of trans-splicing have been documented in various eukaryotic species. Multiple groups leveraged the splicing machinery to drive mRNA trans-splicing, whereby recombinant exons are incorporated into a pre-mRNA transcript. In its simplest form, a pre-trans-splicing RNA molecule is composed of an anti-sense sequence connected to a hemi-intron and one or more exons. After nuclear delivery, the antisense binding domain base pairs with the target mRNA, enabling the intronic sequence to merge the recombinant exons in trans by utilizing the splicing machinery. Despite its potential as a novel RNA rewriting technique, low efficiency prevents this approach from being implemented for therapeutic applications.
[0004] Thus, there remains a need for compositions and methods directed at modulating and / or regulating RNA trans-splicing efficiency. The compositions and methods disclosed herein meet this need. IV. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES
[0005] FIG.1A - FIG.1D shows the experimental workflow for the work described herein. FIG. 1A shows the non-coding regions in RNA viruses that infect humans were collected from Genbank sequences. Segments of 50 nucleotide length in 10 nucleotide tiling steps were linked with an FP mutation barcode preceded by a hemi-intron and guide. Generated constructs were cloned into a plasmid backbone. FIG.1B shows the library plasmid was transfected into HEK293 cells stably expressing a splitGFP reporter. RNA was extracted 48 hours post-transfection. After reversetranscription, cDNA and gDNA were indexed and sent to Illumina sequencing. A custom analysis Python pipeline was written for analyzing sequencing results. FIG.1C shows that after a repeat experiment, highest ranking 200 sequences in both datasets were compared. Viral sequences in the intersection and a few unique sequences were cloned individually into the same plasmid backbone. A splitGFP construct with a mutation in the second GFP exon and the individual candidate plasmids were double-transfected into HEK293 cells. FIG 1D shows that EGFP expression as quantified by flow cytometry 48 hours after transfection. Diagram is created with BioRender.com.
[0006] FIG. 2 shows that the input plasmid library distribution is a histogram representing 390,314 sequences gathered after data filtering.
[0007] FIG.3 shows RNA to DNA ratio from the first NextSeq sequencing experiment. 500 ng plasmid library was transfected into HEK293 cells. 48 hours later, RNA was collected, converted to cDNA, and amplified for Illumina sequencing. Unique barcodes were paired with viral RNA sequences of interest to determine trans-spliced mRNA abundance for each candidate. Trans- spliced transcript counts were normalized by input counts in the gDNA pool to quantify trans- splicing efficiency.
[0008] FIG.4 shows RNA to DNA ratio from the first NextSeq sequencing experiment. 1000 ng plasmid library was transfected into HEK293 cells.48 hours later, RNA was collected, converted to cDNA, and amplified for Illumina sequencing. Unique barcodes were paired with viral RNA sequences of interest to determine trans-spliced mRNA abundance for each candidate. Trans- spliced transcript counts were normalized by input counts in the gDNA pool to quantify trans- splicing efficiency. ‘Second NextSeq Data Table_62424’ contains the full dataset.
[0009] FIG. 5 shows the percent GFP positive cells for individual RNA sequence candidates enabling trans-splicing using a GFP assay. Flow cytometry was utilized to quantify the number of percent GFP positive cells for each viral RNA construct. Results were normalized by a pre- trans-splicing RNA without a viral segment.
[0010] FIG.6 shows the mean Fluorescence Intensity of GFP positive cells for individual RNA sequence candidates enabling trans-splicing using a GFP assay. Flow cytometry was utilized to calculate the mean fluorescence intensity for GFP positive cells for each viral RNA construct. Results were normalized by a pre-trans-splicing RNA without a viral segment.
[0011] FIG. 7 shows distribution after data re-analysis by averaging across replicates in the second experiment. Negative Binomial distribution was used to obtain the p-value for each variant. Benjamini-Hochberg was applied to adjust for multiple testing. The variants that were enriched were shown in the right side of the plot with log2 fold change greater than zero. Red colored dots indicate top performing candidates from the original data analysis.V. BRIEF SUMMARY

[0029] This disclosure describes inventive concepts with reference to specific examples. However, the intent is to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives of the inventive concepts that are consistent with this disclosure.
[0030] As used in the specification and the appended claims, the singular forms “a”, “an”, and “the” include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise.
[0031] The phrase “consisting essentially of” limits the scope of a claim to the recited components in a composition or the recited steps in a method as well as those that do not materially affect the basic and novel characteristic or characteristics of the claimed composition or claimed method. The phrase “consisting of” excludes any component, step, or element that is not recited in the claim. The phrase “comprising” is synonymous with “including”, “containing”, or “characterized by”, and is inclusive or open-ended. “Comprising” does not exclude additional, unrecited components or steps.
[0032] In an aspect, when referring to any numerical value, the term “about” means a value falling within a range that is ± 10% of the stated value.
[0033] Ranges can be expressed herein as from “about” one particular value, and / or to “about” another particular value. When such a range is expressed, a further aspect includes from the one particular value and / or to the other particular value. Similarly, when values are expressed as approximations, by use of the antecedent “about,” it will be understood that the particular value forms a further aspect. It will be further understood that the endpoints of each of the ranges are significant both in relation to the other endpoint and independently of the other endpoint. It is also understood that there are a number of values disclosed herein, and that each value is also herein disclosed as “about” that particular value in addition to the value itself. For example, if the value “10” is disclosed, then “about 10” is also disclosed. It is also understood that each unit between two particular units are also disclosed. For example, if 10 and 15 are disclosed, then 11, 12, 13, and 14 are also disclosed.
[0034] References in the specification and concluding claims to parts by weight of a particular element or component in a composition denotes the weight relationship between the element or component and any other elements or components in the composition or article for which a part by weight is expressed. Thus, in a compound containing 2 parts by weight component X and 5 parts by weight component Y, X and Y are present at a weight ratio of 2:5, and are present in such ratio regardless of whether additional components are contained in the compound.
[0035] In an aspect, the terms “optional” or “optionally” means that the subsequently described event or circumstance can or cannot occur, and that the description includes instances where said event or circumstance occurs and instances where it does not. In an aspect, a disclosed method can optionally comprise one or more additional steps, such as, for example, repeating an administering step or altering an administering step.
[0036] In an aspect, “isolated” refers to a nucleic acid molecule or a nucleic acid sequence that has been substantially separated, produced apart from, or purified away from other biological components in the cell or tissue of an organism in which the component occurs, such as other cells, chromosomal and extrachromosomal DNA and RNA, and proteins. Nucleic acids and proteins that have been “isolated” include nucleic acids and proteins purified by standard purification methods. The term also embraces nucleic acids and proteins prepared by recombinant expression in a host cell as well as chemically synthesized nucleic acids and proteins.
[0037] In an aspect, the term “subject” refers to the target of administration, e.g., a human being. The term “subject” also includes domesticated animals (e.g., cats, dogs, etc.), livestock (e.g., cattle, horses, pigs, sheep, goats, etc.), and laboratory animals (e.g., mouse, rabbit, rat, guinea pig, fruit fly, etc.). Thus, the subject of the disclosed methods can be a vertebrate, such as a mammal,a fish, a bird, a reptile, or an amphibian. Alternatively, the subject of the herein disclosed methods can be a human, non-human primate, horse, pig, rabbit, dog, sheep, goat, cow, cat, guinea pig, or rodent. The term does not denote a particular age or sex, and thus, adult and child subjects, as well as fetuses, whether male or female, are intended to be covered. In an aspect, a subject can be a human patient. In an aspect, a subject can have a disease or disorder, be suspected of having a disease or disorder, or be at risk of developing a disease or disorder (e.g., a genetic disease or disorder). In an aspect, a subject can be treatment-naïve.
[0038] In an aspect, the term “diagnosed” means having been subjected to an examination by a person of skill, for example, a physician, and found to have a condition that can be diagnosed or treated by one or more of the disclosed trans-splicing constructs, disclosed replacement constructs, disclosed nucleic acid molecules, disclosed vectors, disclosed pharmaceutical formulations, or a combination thereof, or by one or more of the disclosed methods. For example, “diagnosed with a disease or disorder” means having been subjected to an examination by a person of skill, for example, a physician, and found to have a condition (such as a genetic disease or disorder) that can be treated by one or more of the disclosed trans-splicing constructs, disclosed replacement constructs, disclosed nucleic acid molecules, disclosed vectors, disclosed pharmaceutical formulations, or a combination thereof, or by one or more of the disclosed methods. For example, “suspected of having a disease or disorder” can mean having been subjected to an examination by a person of skill, for example, a physician, and found to have a condition (such as a genetic disease or disorder) that can likely be treated by one or more of by one or more of the disclosed trans- splicing constructs, disclosed replacement constructs, disclosed nucleic acid molecules, disclosed vectors, disclosed pharmaceutical formulations, or a combination thereof, or by one or more of the disclosed methods. In an aspect, an examination can be physical, can involve various tests (e.g., blood tests, genotyping, biopsies, etc.) and assays (e.g., enzymatic assay), or a combination thereof.
[0039] A “patient” refers to a subject afflicted with a disease or disorder (e.g., a genetic disease or disorder). In an aspect, a patient can refer to a subject that has been diagnosed with or is suspected of having a disease or disorder. In an aspect, a patient can refer to a subject that has been diagnosed with or is suspected of having a disease or disorder and is seeking treatment or receiving treatment for a disease or disorder.
[0040] In an aspect, the phrase “identified to be in need of treatment for a disease or disorder,” or the like, refers to selection of a subject based upon need for treatment of the disease or disorder. For example, a subject can be identified as having a need for treatment of a disease or disorder (e.g., a genetic disease or disorder) based upon an earlier diagnosis by a person of skill and thereafter subjected to treatment for the genetic disease or disorder. In an aspect, the identificationcan be performed by a person different from the person making the diagnosis. In an aspect, the administration can be performed by one who performed the diagnosis.
[0041] The words “treat” or “treating” or “treatment” include palliative treatment, that is, treatment designed for the relief of symptoms rather than the curing of the disease, pathological condition, or disorder; preventative treatment, that is, treatment directed to minimizing or partially or completely inhibiting the development of the associated disease, pathological condition, or disorder; and supportive treatment, that is, treatment employed to supplement another specific therapy directed toward the improvement of the associated disease, pathological condition, or disorder. In an aspect, the terms cover any treatment of a subject, including a mammal (e.g., a human), and includes: (i) preventing the undesired physiological change, disease, pathological condition, or disorder from occurring in a subject that can be predisposed to the disease but has not yet been diagnosed as having it; (ii) inhibiting the physiological change, disease, pathological condition, or disorder, i.e., arresting its development; or (iii) relieving the physiological change, disease, pathological condition, or disorder, i.e., causing regression of the disease. For example, in an aspect, treating a disease or disorder can reduce the severity of an established a disease or disorder in a subject by 1%-100% as compared to a control (such as, for example, an individual not having a genetic disease or disorder). In an aspect, treating can refer to a 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, or 100% reduction in the severity of a disease or disorder (such as a genetic disease or disorder). For example, treating a disease or disorder can reduce one or more symptoms of a disease or disorder in a subject by 1%-100% as compared to a control (such as, for example, an individual not having a genetic disease or disorder). In an aspect, treating can refer to 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 100% reduction of one or more symptoms of an established a disease or disorder. It is understood that treatment does not necessarily refer to a cure or complete ablation or eradication of a disease or disorder. However, in an aspect, treatment can refer to a cure or complete ablation or eradication of a disease or disorder.
[0042] In an aspect, the term “prevent” or “preventing” or “prevention” refers to precluding, averting, obviating, forestalling, stopping, or hindering something from happening, especially by advance action. It is understood that where reduce, inhibit, or prevent are used herein, unless specifically indicated otherwise, the use of the other two words is also expressly disclosed. In an aspect, preventing a disease or disorder having chromatin deregulation and / or chromatin dysregulation is intended. The words “prevent”, “preventing”, and “prevention” also refer to prophylactic or preventative measures for protecting or precluding a subject (e.g., an individual) not having a given a disease or disorder (such as a genetic disease or disorder) or related complication from progressing to that complication.
[0043] In an aspect, the skilled person can determine an efficacious dose, an efficacious schedule, and an efficacious route of administration for one or more of the disclosed trans-splicing constructs, disclosed replacement constructs, disclosed nucleic acid molecules, disclosed vectors, disclosed pharmaceutical formulations, or a combination thereof to treat or prevent a disease or disorder (such as genetic disease or disorder). In an aspect, the skilled person can also alter, change, or modify an aspect of an administering step to improve efficacy of one or more of the disclosed trans-splicing constructs, disclosed replacement constructs, disclosed nucleic acid molecules, disclosed vectors, disclosed pharmaceutical formulations, or a combination thereof.
[0044] By “determining the amount” is meant both an absolute quantification of a particular analyte (e.g., an mRNA sequence containing a particular tag) or a determination of the relative abundance of a particular analyte (e.g., an amount as compared to a mRNA sequence including a different tag). The phrase includes both direct or indirect measurements of abundance (e.g., individual mRNA transcripts may be quantified or the amount of amplification of an mRNA sequence under certain conditions for a certain period may be used a surrogate for individual transcript quantification) or both.
[0045] In an aspect, “modifying the method” can comprise modifying or changing one or more features or aspects of one or more steps of a disclosed method. For example, in an aspect, a method can be altered by changing the amount of one or more of the disclosed trans-splicing constructs, disclosed replacement constructs, disclosed nucleic acid molecules, disclosed vectors, disclosed pharmaceutical formulations, or a combination thereof administered to a subject, or by changing the frequency of administration of one or more of the disclosed trans-splicing constructs, disclosed replacement constructs, disclosed nucleic acid molecules, disclosed vectors, disclosed pharmaceutical formulations, or a combination thereof to a subject, by changing the duration of time one or more of the disclosed trans-splicing constructs, disclosed replacement constructs, disclosed nucleic acid molecules, disclosed vectors, disclosed pharmaceutical formulations, or a combination are administered to a subject, or by substituting for one or more of the disclosed components and / or reagents with a similar or equivalent component and / or reagent. The same applies to all disclosed therapeutic agents, immune modulators, immunosuppressive agents, proteosome inhibitors, etc.
[0046] In an aspect, the term “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier” refers to sterile aqueous or nonaqueous solutions, dispersions, suspensions or emulsions, as well as sterile powders for reconstitution into sterile injectable solutions or dispersions just prior to use. Examples of suitable aqueous and nonaqueous carriers, diluents, solvents, or vehicles include water, ethanol, polyols (such as glycerol, propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol and the like), carboxymethylcellulose and suitable mixtures thereof, vegetable oils (such as olive oil) and injectable organic esters suchas ethyl oleate. In an aspect, a pharmaceutical carrier employed can be a solid, liquid, or gas. In an aspect, examples of solid carriers can include lactose, terra alba, sucrose, talc, gelatin, agar, pectin, acacia, magnesium stearate, and stearic acid. In an aspect, examples of liquid carriers can include sugar syrup, peanut oil, olive oil, and water. In an aspect, examples of gaseous carriers can include carbon dioxide and nitrogen. In preparing a disclosed composition for oral dosage form, any convenient pharmaceutical media can be employed. For example, water, glycols, oils, alcohols, flavoring agents, preservatives, coloring agents and the like can be used to form oral liquid preparations such as suspensions, elixirs and solutions; while carriers such as starches, sugars, microcrystalline cellulose, diluents, granulating agents, lubricants, binders, disintegrating agents, and the like can be used to form oral solid preparations such as powders, capsules and tablets. Because of their ease of administration, tablets and capsules are the preferred oral dosage units whereby solid pharmaceutical carriers are employed. Optionally, tablets can be coated by standard aqueous or nonaqueous techniques. Proper fluidity can be maintained, for example, by the use of coating materials such as lecithin, by the maintenance of the required particle size in the case of dispersions and by the use of surfactants. These compositions can also contain adjuvants such as preservatives, wetting agents, emulsifying agents and dispersing agents. Prevention of the action of microorganisms can be ensured by the inclusion of various antibacterial and antifungal agents such as paraben, chlorobutanol, phenol, sorbic acid and the like. It can also be desirable to include isotonic agents such as sugars, sodium chloride and the like. Prolonged absorption of the injectable pharmaceutical form can be brought about by the inclusion of agents, such as aluminum monostearate and gelatin, which delay absorption. Injectable depot forms are made by forming microencapsule matrices of the drug in biodegradable polymers such as polylactide-polyglycolide, poly(orthoesters) and poly(anhydrides). Depending upon the ratio of drug to polymer and the nature of the particular polymer employed, the rate of drug release can be controlled. Depot injectable formulations are also prepared by entrapping the drug in liposomes or microemulsions that are compatible with body tissues. The injectable formulations can be sterilized, for example, by filtration through a bacterial-retaining filter or by incorporating sterilizing agents in the form of sterile solid compositions which can be dissolved or dispersed in sterile water or other sterile injectable media just prior to use. Suitable inert carriers can include sugars such as lactose. Desirably, at least 95% by weight of the particles of the active ingredient have an effective particle size in the range of 0.01 to 10 micrometers.
[0047] In an aspect, the term “excipient” refers to an inert substance which is commonly used as a diluent, vehicle, preservative, binder, or stabilizing agent, and includes, but is not limited to, proteins (e.g., serum albumin, etc.), amino acids (e.g., aspartic acid, glutamic acid, lysine, arginine, glycine, histidine, etc.), fatty acids and phospholipids (e.g., alkyl sulfonates, caprylate,etc.), surfactants (e.g., SDS, polysorbate, nonionic surfactant, etc.), saccharides (e.g., sucrose, maltose, trehalose, etc.) and polyols (e.g., mannitol, sorbitol, etc.). See, also, for reference, Remington’s Pharmaceutical Sciences, (1990) Mack Publishing Co., Easton, Pa., which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
[0048] In an aspect, “concurrently” means (1) simultaneously in time, or (2) at different times during the course of a common treatment schedule.
[0049] In an aspect, the term “contacting” can refer to bringing one or more of the disclosed trans- splicing constructs, disclosed replacement constructs, disclosed nucleic acid molecules, disclosed vectors, disclosed pharmaceutical formulations, or a combination thereof together with a target area or intended target area in such a manner that the one or more of the disclosed trans-splicing constructs, disclosed replacement constructs, disclosed nucleic acid molecules, disclosed vectors, disclosed pharmaceutical formulations, or a combination thereof exert an effect on the intended target or targeted area either directly or indirectly. A target area can comprise one or more cells, and in an aspect, one or more cells can be in a subject. A target area or intended target area can be one or more of a subject’s organs (e.g., lungs, heart, liver, kidney, brain, etc.). In an aspect, a target area or intended target area can be any cell or any organ infected by a disease or disorder (such as a genetic disease or disorder). In an aspect, a target area or intended target area can be any organ, tissue, or cells that are affected by a disease or disorder (such as a genetic disease or disorder).
[0050] In an aspect, “determining” can refer to measuring or ascertaining the presence and severity of a disease or disorder, such as, for example, a genetic disease or disorder. Methods and techniques used to determine the presence and / or severity of a disease or disorder are typically known to the medical arts. For example, the art is familiar with the ways to identify and / or diagnose the presence, severity, or both of a disease or disorder (such as, for example, a genetic disease or disorder).
[0051] In an aspect, “effective amount” and “amount effective” can refer to an amount that is sufficient to achieve the desired result such as, for example, the treatment and / or prevention of a disease or disorder (e.g., a genetic disease or disorder) or a suspected disease or disorder. In an aspect, the terms “effective amount” and “amount effective” can refer to an amount that is sufficient to achieve the desired an effect on an undesired condition (e.g., a disease or disorder). For example, a “therapeutically effective amount” refers to an amount that is sufficient to achieve the desired therapeutic result or to have an effect on undesired symptoms, but is generally insufficient to cause adverse side effects. In an aspect, “therapeutically effective amount” means an amount of a disclosed trans-splicing construct, a disclosed replacement construct, a disclosed nucleic acid molecule, a disclosed vector, or a disclosed pharmaceutical formulation; that (i) treatsthe particular disease, condition, or disorder (e.g., a genetic disease or disorder), (ii) attenuates, ameliorates, or eliminates one or more symptoms of the particular disease, condition, or disorder e.g., a genetic disease or disorder), or (iii) delays the onset of one or more symptoms of the particular disease, condition, or disorder described herein (e.g., a genetic disease or disorder). The specific therapeutically effective dose level for any particular patient will depend upon a variety of factors including the disorder being treated and the severity of the disorder; the disclosed trans- splicing constructs, the disclosed replacement constructs, the disclosed nucleic acid molecules, disclosed vectors, disclosed pharmaceutical formulations employed; the disclosed methods employed; the age, body weight, general health, sex and diet of the patient; the time of administration; the route of administration; the rate of excretion of the disclosed trans-splicing constructs, disclosed replacement constructs, disclosed nucleic acid molecules, disclosed vectors, or disclosed pharmaceutical formulations employed; the duration of the treatment; drugs used in combination or coincidental with the disclosed trans-splicing constructs, the disclosed replacement constructs, the disclosed nucleic acid molecules, the disclosed vectors, or the disclosed pharmaceutical formulations employed, and other like factors well known in the medical arts. For example, it is well within the skill of the art to start doses of the disclosed trans-splicing constructs, disclosed replacement constructs, disclosed nucleic acid molecules, disclosed vectors, or disclosed pharmaceutical formulations at levels lower than those required to achieve the desired therapeutic effect and to gradually increase the dosage until the desired effect is achieved. If desired, then the effective daily dose can be divided into multiple doses for purposes of administration. Consequently, a single dose of the disclosed trans-splicing constructs, disclosed replacement constructs, disclosed nucleic acid molecules, disclosed vectors, or disclosed pharmaceutical formulations can contain such amounts or submultiples thereof to make up the daily dose. The dosage can be adjusted by the individual physician in the event of any contraindications. Dosage can vary, and can be administered in one or more dose administrations daily, for one or several days. Guidance can be found in the literature for appropriate dosages for given classes of pharmaceutical products. In further various aspects, a preparation can be administered in a “prophylactically effective amount”; that is, an amount effective for prevention of a disease or condition, such as, for example, a disease or disorder due to a missing, deficient, and / or mutant protein or enzyme.
[0052] In an aspect, the term “ex vivo” can refer generally to activities that take place outside an organism or subject such as experimentation, modification, differentiation, manipulation, and / or measurement done in or on living tissue in an artificial environment outside the organism. In an aspect, ex vivo experimentation, ex vivo modification, ex vivo differentiation, ex vivo manipulation, and / or ex vivo measurement can occur with a minimum alteration of the naturalconditions. In an aspect, “ex vivo” can comprise living cells, tissues, or organs (e.g., cells in need of trans-splicing for one or more protein coding genes) taken from a subject in need thereof or a donor subject and cultured and / or maintained and / or perfused in a laboratory apparatus, usually under sterile conditions, and typically for a limited duration of time (e.g., a few hours or up to about 24 hours, up to about 48 hours, up to about 72 hours, up to about 96 hours, up to about 120 hours, up to about 144 hours, up to about 168 hours, or more depending on the circumstances and / or the desired characteristics. In an aspect, tissues, cells, or organs can be collected, frozen, and later thawed for ex vivo treatment.
[0053] In an aspect, “nucleic acid” or “oligonucleotide” or “polynucleotide” means at least two nucleotides covalently linked together. The depiction of a single strand can also define the sequence of the complementary strand. Thus, a nucleic acid can encompass the complementary strand of a depicted single strand. Many variants of a nucleic acid can be used for the same purpose as a given nucleic acid. Thus, a nucleic acid can encompass substantially identical nucleic acids and complements thereof. A single strand can provide a probe that can hybridize to a target sequence under stringent hybridization conditions. Thus, a nucleic acid can encompass a probe that hybridizes under stringent hybridization conditions. A nucleic acid can be single-stranded, or double-stranded, or can contain portions of both double-stranded and single-stranded sequence. The nucleic acid can be DNA, both genomic and cDNA, RNA, or a hybrid, where the nucleic acid can contain combinations of deoxyribo- and ribo-nucleotides, and combinations of bases including uracil, adenine, thymine, cytosine, guanine, inosine, xanthine hypoxanthine, isocytosine and isoguanine. Nucleic acids can be obtained by chemical synthesis methods or by recombinant methods. In an aspect, the terms “nucleic acid,” “nucleic acid molecule,” “nucleic acid construct,” “nucleotide sequence”, and “polynucleotide” can refer to RNA or DNA that is linear or branched, single or double stranded, or a hybrid thereof. The term can encompass RNA / DNA hybrids. When dsRNA is produced synthetically, less common bases, such as inosine, 5-methylcytosine, 6-methyladenine, hypoxanthine and others can also be used for antisense, dsRNA, and ribozyme pairing. For example, polynucleotides that contain C-5 propyne analogues of uridine and cytidine have been shown to bind RNA with high affinity and to be potent antisense inhibitors of gene expression. Other modifications, such as modification to the phosphodiester backbone, or the 2’- hydroxy in the ribose sugar group of the RNA can also be made. In an aspect, a “synthetic” nucleic acid or polynucleotide refers to a nucleic acid or polynucleotide that is not found in nature but is constructed by the hand of man and therefore is not a product of nature.
[0054] A “polynucleotide” is a sequence of nucleotide bases, and may be RNA, DNA, or DNA- RNA hybrid sequences (including both naturally occurring and non-naturally occurring nucleotides).
[0055] A “fragment” or “portion” of a nucleotide sequence can be understood to mean a nucleotide sequence of reduced length relative (e.g., reduced by 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 or more nucleotides) to a reference nucleic acid or nucleotide sequence and comprising, consisting essentially of, or consisting of a nucleotide sequence of contiguous nucleotides identical or almost identical (e.g., 70%, 71%, 72%, 73%, 74%, 75%, 76%, 77%, 78%, 79%, 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99% identical) to the reference nucleic acid or nucleotide sequence. Such a nucleic acid fragment or portion according to the disclosure can be, where appropriate, included in a larger polynucleotide of which it is a constituent. In an aspect, a fragment or portion of a nucleotide sequence or nucleic acid sequence can comprise the sequence encoding an exon having one or more mutations.
[0056] A “fragment” or “portion” of an amino acid sequence can be understood to mean an amino acid sequence of reduced length relative (e.g., reduced by 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 150, 200, 250, or more amino acids) to a reference amino acid sequence and comprising, consisting essentially of, or consisting of an amino acid sequence of contiguous amino acids identical or almost identical (e.g., 70%, 71%, 72%, 73%, 74%, 75%, 76%, 77%, 78%, 79%, 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99% identical) to the reference amino acid sequence. Such an amino acid fragment or portion according to the disclosure can be, where appropriate, included in a larger amino acid sequence of which it is a constituent.
[0057] A “heterologous” or a “recombinant” nucleotide or amino acid sequence as used interchangeably herein can refer to a nucleotide or an amino acid sequence not naturally associated with a host cell into which it is introduced, including non-naturally occurring multiple copies of a naturally occurring nucleotide or amino acid sequence.
[0058] In an aspect, a “recombinant viral vector” can refer to a recombinant polynucleotide vector comprising one or more heterologous sequences (i.e., a disclosed nucleic acid molecule and / or a disclosed nucleic acid sequence, a disclosed trans-splicing construct, a disclosed replacement construct, a disclosed non-coding viral RNA sequence, a disclosed transgene, and / or a disclosed sequence to be trans-spliced).
[0059] In an aspect, a “recombinant AAV vector (rAAV vector)” can refer to a polynucleotide vector comprising one or more heterologous sequences (i.e., a disclosed nucleic acid molecule and / or a disclosed nucleic acid sequence, a disclosed trans-splicing construct, a disclosed replacement construct, a disclosed non-coding viral RNA sequence, a disclosed transgene, and / or a disclosed sequence to be trans-spliced) that are flanked by at least one, and in some embodiments two, AAV inverted terminal repeat sequences (ITRs). Such rAAV vectors can be replicated andpackaged into infectious viral particles when present in a host cell that has been infected with a suitable helper virus (or that is expressing suitable helper functions) and that is expressing AAV rep and cap gene products (i.e. AAV Rep and Cap proteins). In an aspect, rAAV vector can exist in several forms, including, but not limited to, plasmids, linear artificial chromosomes, complexed with lipids, encapsulated within liposomes, and encapsidated in a viral particle, particularly an AAV particle. In an aspect, an rAAV vector can be packaged into an AAV virus capsid to generate a “recombinant adeno-associated viral particle (rAAV particle)”.
[0060] In an aspect, “complement” or “complementary” means a nucleic acid can mean Watson- Crick (e.g., A-T / U and C-G) or Hoogsteen base pairing between nucleotides or nucleotide analogs of nucleic acid molecules. “Complementarity” refers to a property shared between two nucleic acid sequences, such that when they are aligned antiparallel to each other, the nucleotide bases at each position will be complementary.
[0061] In an aspect, the terms “genome particles (gp),” “genome equivalents,” or “genome copies” can refer to a viral titer or refer to the number of virions containing the recombinant AAV DNA genome, regardless of infectivity or functionality. In an aspect, the term “vector genome (vg)” can refer to one or more polynucleotides comprising a set of the polynucleotide sequences of a vector, e.g., a viral vector. A vector genome can be encapsidated in a viral particle. In an aspect, a vector genome can comprise single-stranded DNA, double-stranded DNA, or single- stranded RNA, or double-stranded RNA. In an aspect, a nucleic acid titer of a viral vector can be measured in terms of vg / mL. Methods suitable for measuring this titer are known in the art (e.g., quantitative PCR).
[0062] In an aspect, the term “serotype” is a distinction used to refer to an AAV having a capsid that is serologically distinct from other AAV serotypes. Serologic distinctiveness can be determined by the lack of cross-reactivity between antibodies to one AAV as compared to another AAV. Such cross-reactivity differences are usually due to differences in capsid protein sequences / antigenic determinants (e.g., due to VP1, VP2, and / or VP3 sequence differences of AAV serotypes).
[0063] In an aspect, “tropism” refers to the specificity of an AAV capsid protein present in an AAV viral particle, for infecting a particular type of cell or tissue. The tropism of an AAV capsid for a particular type of cell or tissue may be determined by measuring the ability of AAV vector particles comprising the hybrid AAV capsid protein to infect or to transduce a particular type of cell or tissue, using standard assays that are well-known in the art such as those disclosed in the examples of the present application. In an aspect, the term “liver tropism” or “hepatic tropism” refers to the tropism for liver or hepatic tissue and cells, including hepatocytes.
[0064] “Sequence identity” and “sequence similarity” can be determined by alignment of two peptide or two nucleotide sequences using global or local alignment algorithms. Sequences may then be referred to as “substantially identical” or “essentially similar” when they are optimally aligned. For example, sequence similarity or identity can be determined by searching against databases such as FASTA, BLAST, etc., but hits should be retrieved and aligned pairwise to compare sequence identity. Two proteins or two protein domains, or two nucleic acid sequences can have “substantial sequence identity” if the percentage sequence identity is at least 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 98%, 99% or more, preferably 90%, 95%, 98%, 99% or more. Such sequences are also referred to as “variants” herein, e.g., other variants of a missing, deficient, and / or mutant protein or enzyme. It should be understood that sequence with substantial sequence identity do not necessarily have the same length and may differ in length. For example, sequences that have the same nucleotide sequence but of which one has additional nucleotides on the 3’- and / or 5’-side are 100% identical.
[0065] In an aspect, “codon optimization” can refer to a process of modifying a nucleic acid sequence for enhanced expression in the host cells of interest by replacing one or more codons or more of the native sequence with codons that are more frequently or most frequently used in the genes of that host cell while maintaining the native amino acid sequence. Various species exhibit particular bias for certain codons of a particular amino acid. As contemplated herein, genes can be tailored for optimal gene expression in a given organism based on codon optimization. Codon usage tables are readily available, for example, at the “Codon Usage Database.” Many methods and software tools for codon optimization have been reported previously. (See, for example, genomes.urv.es / OPTIMIZER / ).
[0066] In an aspect, “RNA editing” can be a post-transcriptional modification where a precursor mRNA (pre-mRNA) nucleotide sequence is changed by base insertion, deletion, or modification. The extent of RNA editing varies from a few hundred bases, in mitochondrial DNA of trypanosomes, to a just single base, in nuclear genes of mammals. Even a single base change in the pre-mRNA can convert a codon for one amino acid into the codon for another amino acid or a stop codon. This type of re-coding can significantly affect the structure and function of a protein and may lead to the production of multiple variants of a protein from a single gene.
[0067] In an aspect, insertional and deletional RNA editing can involve the addition and deletion of specific nucleotides or sequences of nucleotides from pre-mRNA. In an aspect, substitutional RNA editing by base modifications is observed in higher eukaryotes, where the base is modified without changing the length of the pre-mRNA.
[0068] In an aspect, “immune-modulating” refers to the ability of a disclosed trans-splicing construct, a disclosed replacement construct, a disclosed nucleic acid molecules, a disclosedvector, a disclosed pharmaceutical formulation, or a disclosed agent to alter (modulate) one or more aspects of the immune system. The immune system functions to protect the organism from infection and from foreign antigens by cellular and humoral mechanisms involving lymphocytes, macrophages, and other antigen-presenting cells that regulate each other by means of multiple cell-cell interactions and by elaborating soluble factors, including lymphokines and antibodies, that have autocrine, paracrine, and endocrine effects on immune cells.
[0069] In an aspect, the term “immunotolerant” refers to unresponsiveness to an antigen (e.g., a vector, a therapeutic protein, a transgene product, etc.). An immunotolerant promoter can reduce, ameliorate, or prevent transgene-induced immune responses that can be associated with gene therapy. Assays known in the art to measure immune responses, such as immunohistochemical detection of cytotoxic T cell responses, can be used to determine whether one or more promoters can confer immunotolerant properties.
[0070] In an aspect, the term “package insert” is used to refer to instructions customarily included in commercial packages of therapeutic products, that contain information about the indications, usage, dosage, administration, contraindications and / or warnings concerning the use of such therapeutic products.
[0071] Disclosed are the components to be used to prepare the disclosed trans-splicing constructs, disclosed replacement constructs, disclosed nucleic acid molecules, disclosed vectors, or disclosed pharmaceutical formulations as well as the disclosed trans-splicing constructs, disclosed replacement constructs, disclosed nucleic acid molecules, disclosed vectors, or disclosed pharmaceutical formulations used within the methods disclosed herein.
