Description

[0001] sequence list

[0002] This application is submitted together with the electronic sequence listing. The sequence listing is provided as a file named CHEM0101WOSEQ_ST25.txt, created on August 14, 2020, and is 593kb in size. The information in the electronic sequence listing is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Technical Field

[0003] This disclosure provides oligomeric compounds comprising modified oligonucleotides having at least one modified internucleotide linking group (including oligomeric compounds as antisense agents or portions thereof). Background Technology

[0004] The principle behind antisense technology is that antisense compounds hybridize with target nucleic acids and modulate the amount, activity, and / or function of said target nucleic acids. For example, in some cases, antisense compounds cause alterations in the transcription or translation of the target. This regulation of expression can be achieved, for example, through target RNA degradation or site-based inhibition. One example of regulating RNA target function through degradation is the degradation of target RNA based on RNase H upon hybridization with DNA-like antisense compounds.

[0005] Another example of regulating gene expression through target degradation is RNA interference (RNAi). RNAi refers to antisense-mediated gene silencing via a mechanism utilizing the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC). Another example of regulating RNA target function is through site-based mechanisms, such as those naturally employed by microRNAs. MicroRNAs are small non-coding RNAs that regulate the expression of protein-coding RNAs. The binding of antisense compounds to microRNAs prevents them from binding to their messenger RNA targets, thus interfering with their function. MicroRNA mimics can enhance the function of natural microRNAs. Some antisense compounds alter the splicing of pre-mRNA. Another example of regulating gene expression is the use of antisense compounds in CRISPR systems. Regardless of the specific mechanism, sequence specificity makes antisense compounds worth considering as tools for target identification and gene functionalization, as well as as therapeutic agents for selectively regulating the expression of genes involved in disease pathogenesis.

[0006] Antisense technology is an effective means of regulating the expression of one or more specific gene products, thus demonstrating its unique value in many therapeutic, diagnostic, and research applications. Chemically modified nucleosides can be bound to antisense compounds to enhance one or more properties, such as nuclease resistance, tolerance, pharmacokinetics, or affinity for target nucleic acids.
