[0006] Myotonic dystrophy (DM) is a dominant inherited genetic disease characterized by myotonia, muscle loss or degeneration, weakened muscle function, insulin resistance, arrhythmia, smooth muscle dysfunction and nervous system abnormalities. DM is the most common form of adult-onset muscular dystrophy, with a worldwide incidence of about 1 in 8000 people worldwide. Two types of the disease have been described, i.e., myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) and myotonic dystrophy type 2 (DM2). DM1 is a more common form of the disease, which is caused by repeated expansion of CTG trinucleotide repeats in the 3' non-coding region of DMPK on chromosome 19; DM2 is caused by repeated expansion of CCTG tetranucleotide repeats in the first intron of ZNF9 on chromosome 3. In DM1 patients, repetitive expansion of CTG trinucleotide repeats, which can include greater than about 50 to about 3,000 or more total repeats, results in the production of toxic RNA repeats that are capable of forming hairpin structures that bind with high affinity to essential intracellular proteins, such as muscleblind-like protein, leading to protein sequestration and the loss-of-function phenotype characteristic of the disease. There are currently no effective therapeutic agents available for DM1, other than supportive care and treatment to address disease symptoms. Summary of the invention

In some embodiments, the antibody comprises a heavy (H) chain variable region (referred to herein as VH) and / or (e.g., and) a light (L) chain variable region (referred to herein as VL). In some embodiments, the antibody comprises a constant domain, such as an Fc region. An immunoglobulin constant domain refers to a heavy chain or light chain constant domain. The amino acid sequences of human IgG heavy and light chain constant domains and their functional variations are known. With regard to the heavy chain, in some embodiments, the heavy chain of the antibodies described herein may be an alpha (α), delta (Δ), epsilon (ε), gamma (γ), or mu (μ) heavy chain. In some embodiments, the heavy chain of the antibodies described herein may comprise a human alpha (α), delta (Δ), epsilon (ε), gamma (γ), or mu (μ) heavy chain. In a specific embodiment, the antibodies described herein comprise human γ1 CH1, CH2, and / or (e.g., and) CH3 domains. In some embodiments, the amino acid sequence of the VH domain comprises the amino acid sequence of a human gamma (γ) heavy chain constant region, such as any known in the art. Some non-limiting examples of human constant region sequences have been described in the art, for example, see U.S. Pat. No. 5,693,780 and Kabat EA et al., (1991) supra. In some embodiments, the VH domain comprises an amino acid sequence having at least 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 98% or at least 99% identity with any variable chain constant region provided herein. In some embodiments, the antibody is modified, for example, by glycosylation, phosphorylation, SUMOylation and / or (e.g., and) methylation. In some embodiments, the antibody is a glycosylated antibody conjugated to one or more sugar or carbohydrate molecules.In some embodiments, one or more sugar or carbohydrate molecules are conjugated to the antibody by N-glycosylation, O-glycosylation, C-glycosylation, glycosylphosphatidylinositolization (GPI anchor attachment) and / or (e.g., and) phosphoglycosylation.

The linker polypeptide comprises two or more amino acid residues connected by a peptide bond and is used to connect one or more antigen-binding moieties. Some examples of linker polypeptides have been reported (see, e.g., Holliger, P., et al. (1993) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 90: 6444-6448; Poljak, RJ, et al. (1994) Structure 2: 1121-1123). In addition, an antibody may be part of a larger immunoadhesion molecule formed by covalent or non-covalent association of an antibody or antibody portion with one or more other proteins or peptides. Some examples of such immunoadhesion molecules include the use of a streptavidin core region to prepare tetrameric scFv molecules (Kipriyanov, SM, et al. (1995) Human Antibodies and Hybridomas 6:93-101), and the use of cysteine ​​residues, a marker peptide, and a C-terminal polyhistidine tag to prepare bivalent and biotinylated scFv molecules (Kipriyanov, SM, et al. (1994) Mol. Immunol. 31:1047-1058).

[0070] CDR: The term "CDR" as used herein refers to the complementary determining region within the variable sequence of an antibody. A typical antibody molecule comprises a heavy chain variable region (VH) and a light chain variable region (VL), which are generally involved in antigen binding. The VH region and the VL region can be further subdivided into hypervariable regions, also known as "complementarity determining regions" ("complementarity determining regions, CDRs"), interspersed with more conservative regions called "framework regions" ("framework regions, FRs"). Each VH and VL is generally composed of three CDRs and four FRs, arranged in the following order from the amino terminus to the carboxyl terminus: FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, FR4. The scope of the framework region and CDR can be precisely identified using methods known in the art, such as by the Kabat definition, the IMGT definition, the Chothia definition, the AbM definition, and / or (e.g., and) contact definition (all of which are well known in the art).

[0073] See also hgmp.mrc.ac.uk and bioinf.org.uk / abs. CDRs used herein may refer to CDRs defined by any method known in the art. Two antibodies having the same CDRs means that the amino acid sequences of the CDRs of the two antibodies are identical, as determined by the same method (e.g., IMGT definition).

[0074] There are three CDRs in each variable region of the heavy and light chains, referred to as CDR1, CDR2 and CDR3 for each variable region. The term "CDR set" as used herein refers to a group of three CDRs that are present in a single variable region and are capable of binding to an antigen. The exact boundaries of these CDRs have been defined differently according to different systems. The system described by Kabat (Kabat et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md. (1987) and (1991)) not only provides an unambiguous residue numbering system applicable to any variable region of an antibody, but also provides precise residue boundaries that define the three CDRs. These CDRs may be referred to as Kabat CDRs. Subportions of the CDRs may be designated L1, L2, and L3 or H1, H2, and H3, where "L" and "H" designate the light chain and heavy chain regions, respectively. These regions may be referred to as Chothia CDRs, which have boundaries that overlap with the Kabat CDRs. Padlan (FASEB J. 9: 133-139 (1995)) and MacCallum (J Mol Biol 262 (5): 732-45 (1996)) have described other boundaries that define CDRs that overlap with the Kabat CDRs. Other CDR boundary definitions may not strictly follow one of the above systems, but will still overlap with the Kabat CDRs. CDR overlap, although they can be shortened or lengthened based on predictions or based on experimental findings that specific residues or groups of residues or even entire CDRs do not significantly affect antigen binding. The methods used herein can utilize CDRs defined according to any one of these systems. Some examples of CDR definition systems are provided in Table 1.

[0080] Complementary: The term "complementary" as used herein refers to the ability to accurately pair between two nucleotides or two groups of nucleotides. In particular, complementarity is a term that characterizes the degree of binding between two nucleotides or two groups of nucleotides caused by hydrogen bond pairing. For example, if the base at one position of an oligonucleotide can hydrogen bond with the base at the corresponding position of a target nucleic acid (e.g., mRNA), the bases are considered to be complementary to each other at this position. Base pairing may include both standard Watson-Crick base pairing and non-Watson-Crick base pairing (e.g., Wobble base pairing and Hoogsteen base pairing). For example, in some embodiments, for complementary base pairing, adenosine bases (A) are complementary to thymidine bases (T) or uracil bases (U), cytosine bases (C) are complementary to guanosine bases (G), and universal bases such as 3-nitropyrrole or 5-nitroindole can hybridize with any A, C, U or T and are considered to be complementary. Inosine (I) is also considered in the art to be a universal base, and is considered complementary to any of A, C, U, or T.

[0081] Covalently linked: As used herein, the term "covalently linked" refers to the feature of two or more molecules being linked together by at least one covalent bond. In some embodiments, two molecules can be covalently linked together by a single bond, such as a disulfide bond or a disulfide bridge, that acts as a linker between the molecules. However, in some embodiments, two or more molecules can be covalently linked together by a molecule that acts as a linker that links the two or more molecules together by multiple covalent bonds. In some embodiments, the linker can be a cleavable linker. However, in some embodiments, the linker can be a non-cleavable linker.

[0082] Disease-associated repeats: The term "disease-associated repeats" as used herein refers to a repetitive nucleotide sequence at a certain genomic position, wherein the number of units of the repetitive nucleotide sequence is associated with a genetic disease and / or (e.g., and) directly or indirectly contributes to or causes a genetic disease. The length of each repeat unit of the disease-associated repeat can be 2, 3, 4, 5 or more nucleotides. For example, in some embodiments, the disease-associated repeat is a dinucleotide repeat. In some embodiments, the disease-associated repeat is a trinucleotide repeat. In some embodiments, the disease-associated repeat is a tetranucleotide repeat. In some embodiments, the disease-associated repeat is a pentanucleotide repeat. In some embodiments, the disease-associated repeat comprises CAG repeats, CTG repeats, CUG repeats, CGG repeats, CCTG repeats, or any complementary nucleotides thereof. In some embodiments, the disease-associated repeat is in the non-coding portion of the gene. However, in some embodiments, the disease-associated repeat is in the coding region of the gene. In some embodiments, the disease-associated repeat is amplified from a normal state to a length that directly or indirectly contributes to or causes a genetic disease. In some embodiments, the disease-associated repeat is in RNA (e.g., RNA transcript). In some embodiments, the disease-associated repeat is in DNA (e.g., chromosome, plasmid). In some embodiments, the disease-associated repeats are expanded in the chromosomes of germ cells. In some embodiments, the disease-associated repeats are expanded in the chromosomes of somatic cells. In some embodiments, the disease-associated repeats are expanded to the number of repeat units associated with the congenital onset of the disease. In some embodiments, the disease-associated repeats are expanded to the number of repeat units associated with the onset of the disease in childhood. In some embodiments, the disease-associated repeats are expanded to the number of repeat units associated with the onset of the disease in adults. In DM1, the DMPK gene comprises a disease-associated repeat of the CTG unit.

[0083] DMPK: The term "DMPK" as used herein refers to a gene encoding myotonic protein kinase (also known as myotonic dystrophy protein kinase or dystrophic myotonic protein kinase) as a serine / threonine protein kinase. Substrates of this enzyme may include myogenin, the β subunit of the L-type calcium channel, and phospholemman. In some embodiments, DMPK may be a human gene (Gene ID: 1760), a non-human primate gene (e.g., Gene ID: 456139, Gene ID: 715328, Gene ID: 102125829), or a rodent gene (e.g., Gene ID: 13400). In humans, CTG repeat expansion in the 3' non-coding, untranslated region of DMPK is associated with myotonic dystrophy type I (DM1). In addition, multiple human transcript variants encoding different protein isoforms have been characterized (e.g., as annotated with the following GenBank RefSeq accession numbers: NM_001081563.2, NM_004409.4, NM 001081560.2, NM001081562.2, NM 001288764.1, NM 001288765.1, and NM 001288766.1).

[0084] DMPK allele: The term "DMPK allele" as used herein refers to any of the alternative forms (e.g., wild-type or mutant forms) of the DMPK gene. In some embodiments, the DMPK allele may encode a wild-type myotonic protein kinase that retains its normal and typical functions. In some embodiments, the DMPK allele may comprise one or more disease-associated repeat expansions. In some embodiments, a normal subject has two DMPK alleles comprising 5 to 37 repeat units. In some embodiments, the number of CTG repeat units in subjects with DM1 is from about 50 to about 3,000 or more, and the higher the number of repeats, the higher the severity of the disease. In some embodiments, a mildly affected DM1 subject has at least one DMPK allele having 50 to 150 repeat units. In some embodiments, a subject with typical DM1 has at least one DMPK allele having 100 to 1,000 or more repeat units. In some embodiments, a subject with congenital onset DM1 may have at least one DMPK allele comprising more than 2,000 repeat units.

[0085] Framework: The term "framework" or "framework sequence" used herein refers to the remaining sequence of the variable region minus CDR. Since the exact definition of CDR sequences can be determined by different systems, the meaning of framework sequences has different interpretations accordingly. The six CDRs (CDR-L1, CDR-L2 and CDR-L3 of the light chain and CDR-H1, CDR-H2 and CDR-H3 of the heavy chain) also distinguish the framework on the light chain and the heavy chain into four subregions (FR1, FR2, FR3 and FR4) on each chain, wherein CDR1 is located between FR1 and FR2, CDR2 is located between FR2 and FR3, and CDR3 is located between FR3 and FR4. In the case where a specific subregion is not designated as FR1, FR2, FR3 or FR4, the framework region mentioned by others represents the FR of the combination in the variable region of a single naturally occurring immunoglobulin chain. The FR used herein represents one of the four subregions, and a plurality of FRs represent two or more of the four subregions constituting the framework region. Human heavy chain and light chain receptor sequences are known in the art. In one embodiment, acceptor sequences known in the art can be used in the antibodies disclosed herein.

[0086] Human antibody: The term "human antibody" as used herein is intended to include antibodies having variable and constant regions derived from human germline immunoglobulin sequences. The human antibodies of the present disclosure may contain amino acid residues not encoded by human germline immunoglobulin sequences (e.g., mutations introduced by random or site-specific mutagenesis in vitro or by somatic mutations in vivo), such as in CDR, and particularly in CDR3. However, the term "human antibody" as used herein is not intended to include antibodies in which CDR sequences derived from the germline of another mammalian species (e.g., mouse) have been grafted onto human framework sequences.

[0087] Humanized antibody: The term "humanized antibody" refers to an antibody comprising heavy and light chain variable region sequences from non-human species (e.g., mouse) but wherein at least a portion of the VH and / or (e.g., and) VL sequences have been altered to be more "human-like" (i.e., more similar to human germline variable sequences). One type of humanized antibody is a CDR-grafted antibody in which human CDR sequences are introduced into non-human VH and VL sequences to replace the corresponding non-human CDR sequences. In one embodiment, humanized anti-transferrin receptor antibodies and antigen-binding portions are provided. Such antibodies can be produced by obtaining mouse anti-transferrin receptor monoclonal antibodies using conventional hybridoma technology and then humanizing using in vitro genetic engineering, such as those disclosed in PCT Publication No. WO2005 / 123126A2 of Kasaian et al.

[0088] Kabat numbering: The terms "Kabat numbering," "Kabat definition," and "Kabat notation" are used interchangeably herein. These terms, recognized in the art, refer to a system for numbering amino acid residues in the variable regions of the heavy and light chains of an antibody or antigen-binding portion thereof that are more variable (i.e., hypervariable) than other amino acid residues (Kabat et al. (1971) Ann. NY Acad, Sci. 190:382-391 and Kabat, EA, et al. (1991) Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, Fifth Edition, US Department of Health and Human Services, NIH Publication No. 2001-0306). No.91-3242). For the heavy chain variable region, the hypervariable region of CDR1 is from amino acids 31 to 35, the hypervariable region of CDR2 is from amino acids 50 to 65, and the hypervariable region of CDR3 is from amino acids 95 to 102. For the light chain variable region, the hypervariable region of CDR1 is from amino acids 24 to 34, the hypervariable region of CDR2 is from amino acids 50 to 56, and the hypervariable region of CDR3 is from amino acids 89 to 97.

[0089] Myotonic dystrophy (DM): The term "myotonic dystrophy (DM)" as used herein refers to a genetic disease caused by mutations in the DMPK gene or the CNBP (ZNF9) gene, characterized by muscle loss, muscle weakness, and muscle function. Two types of the disease have been described, myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) and myotonic dystrophy type 2 (DM2). DM1 is associated with an expansion of CTG trinucleotide repeats in the 3' noncoding region of DMPK. DM2 is associated with an expansion of CCTG tetranucleotide repeats in the first intron of ZNF9. In both DM1 and DM2, nucleotide expansion leads to toxic RNA repeats that are able to form hairpin structures that bind to key intracellular proteins (e.g., muscleblind-like proteins) with high affinity. Myotonic dystrophy, the genetic basis of the disease, and associated symptoms are described in the art (see, e.g., Thornton, CA, "Myotonic Dystrophy" Neurol Clin. (2014), 32(3): 705-719.; and Konieczny et al. "Myotonic dystrophy: candidate small molecule therapeutics" Drug Discovery Today (2017), 22: 11). In some embodiments, the subject is born with a DM1 variant known as congenital myotonic dystrophy. Symptoms of congenital myotonic dystrophy are present from birth and include weakness of all muscles, breathing problems, club feet, developmental delays, and intellectual disability. DM1 is associated with Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) Entry #160900. DM2 is associated with OMIM Entry #602668.

[0090] Oligonucleotide: The term "oligonucleotide" as used herein refers to an oligonucleotide compound up to 200 nucleotides in length. Some examples of oligonucleotides include, but are not limited to, RNAi oligonucleotides (e.g., siRNA, shRNA), microRNA, spacer polymers, mixed polymers, phosphorodiamidate morpholinos, peptide nucleic acids, aptamers, guide nucleic acids (e.g., Cas9 guide RNA), etc. Oligonucleotides can be single-stranded or double-stranded. In some embodiments, the oligonucleotide may include one or more modified nucleosides (e.g., 2'-O-methyl sugar modifications, purine or pyrimidine modifications). In some embodiments, the oligonucleotide may include one or more modified internucleoside linkages. In some embodiments, the oligonucleotide may include one or more phosphorothioate linkages, which may be Rp or Sp stereochemical conformations.

[0091] Complementary region: The term "complementary region" as used herein refers to a nucleotide sequence, such as an oligonucleotide, that is fully complementary to a homologous nucleotide sequence, such as a target nucleic acid, such that the two nucleotide sequences can anneal to each other under physiological conditions (e.g., in a cell). In some embodiments, the complementary region is completely complementary to the homologous nucleotide sequence of the target nucleic acid. However, in some embodiments, the complementary region is partially complementary to the homologous nucleotide sequence of the target nucleic acid (e.g., at least 80%, 90%, 95% or 99% complementary). In some embodiments, the complementary region comprises 1, 2, 3 or 4 mismatches compared to the homologous nucleotide sequence of the target nucleic acid.

[0092] Specific binding: As used herein, the term "specific binding" refers to the ability of a molecule to bind to a binding partner with a degree of affinity or avidity that enables the molecule to be used to distinguish the binding partner from a suitable control in a binding assay or other binding context. With respect to antibodies, the term "specific binding" refers to the ability of an antibody to bind to a specific antigen with a degree of affinity or avidity that enables the antibody to be used to distinguish the specific antigen from other antigens, e.g., to a degree that allows preferential targeting of certain cells (e.g., muscle cells) by binding to an antigen as described herein. In some embodiments, if the K of an antibody binding to a target is D is at least about 10 -4 M, 10 -5 M, 10 -6 M, 10 -7 M, 10 -8 M, 10 -9 M, 10 -10 M, 10 -11 M, 10 -12 M, 10 -13 M or less, the antibody specifically binds to the target. In some embodiments, the antibody specifically binds to the transferrin receptor (eg, an epitope of the apical domain of the transferrin receptor).

[0093] Subject: The term "subject" as used herein refers to a mammal. In some embodiments, the subject is a non-human primate or a rodent. In some embodiments, the subject is a human.

[0216] In some embodiments, the composition comprising the complex (i.e., multiple complexes) is formulated in a manner suitable for the methods described herein. In some embodiments, a composition comprising a muscle-targeted complex is delivered to a subject using a formulation that minimizes degradation, promotes delivery and / or (e.g., and) uptake, or provides additional beneficial properties for the complex in the formulation. Therefore, in some embodiments, a composition comprising a complex (e.g., multiple complexes comprising oligonucleotides covalently linked to Fab) is formulated with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and / or excipients. In some embodiments, a composition comprising a muscle-targeted complex (e.g., a complex comprising oligonucleotides covalently linked to Fab) is formulated with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and / or excipients in an aqueous solution. In some embodiments, a composition comprising multiple complexes and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and / or excipients may be lyophilized (e.g., for storage). In some embodiments, a lyophilized composition may be reconstituted (e.g., reconstituted with water) to be applied to a subject. In some embodiments, a composition comprising multiple complexes may be frozen (e.g., for storage).

In some embodiments, the subject does not suffer from symptoms of DM1. In some embodiments, the subject suffers from congenital myotonic dystrophy. In some embodiments, the subject is ambulatory. In some embodiments, the subject is non-ambulatory.

[0221] One aspect of the disclosure includes methods comprising administering to a subject an effective amount of a complex described herein. In some embodiments, an effective amount of a pharmaceutical composition comprising a complex comprising a muscle targeting agent covalently linked to a molecular payload may be administered to a subject in need of treatment.

[0222] In some embodiments, a pharmaceutical composition comprising a complex as described herein may be administered by a suitable route, which may include intravenous administration, for example as a bolus or by continuous infusion over a period of time. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition may be in solid form, aqueous form, or liquid form. In some embodiments, the aqueous or liquid form may be atomized or lyophilized. In some embodiments, the lyophilized form may be reconstituted with an aqueous or liquid solution.

[0223] Compositions for intravenous administration may include a variety of carriers, such as vegetable oils, dimethylacetamide, dimethylformamide, ethyl lactate, ethyl carbonate, isopropyl myristate, ethanol, and polyols (glycerol, propylene glycol, liquid polyethylene glycol, etc.). For intravenous injection, water-soluble antibodies can be administered by a drip method, by which a pharmaceutical preparation comprising an antibody and a physiologically acceptable excipient is infused. Physiologically acceptable excipients may include, for example, 5% dextrose, 0.9% saline, Ringer's solution, or other suitable excipients. Intramuscular preparations, such as sterile preparations in the form of suitable soluble salts of antibodies, may be dissolved in a pharmaceutical excipient such as water for injection, 0.9% saline, or 5% glucose solution and administered.

[0224] In some embodiments, a pharmaceutical composition comprising a complex containing a muscle targeting agent covalently linked to a molecular payload is administered by site-specific or local delivery techniques. Some examples of these techniques include implantable reservoir sources of the complex, local delivery catheters, site-specific carriers, direct injection, or direct application.

[0225] In some embodiments, a pharmaceutical composition comprising a complex containing a muscle targeting agent covalently linked to a molecular payload is administered at an effective concentration to confer a therapeutic effect on the subject. As recognized by those skilled in the art, the effective amount varies according to the severity of the disease, the unique characteristics of the subject being treated (e.g., age, physical condition, health or weight), the duration of treatment, the nature of any simultaneous treatments, the route of administration, and related factors. These related factors are known to those skilled in the art and can be resolved only by routine experimentation. In some embodiments, the effective concentration is the maximum dose that is considered safe for the patient. In some embodiments, the effective concentration will be the lowest possible concentration that provides maximum efficacy.

[0226] Empirical considerations, such as the half-life of the complex in the subject, will generally help determine the concentration of the pharmaceutical composition to use for treatment. The frequency of administration can be empirically determined and adjusted to maximize the effectiveness of the treatment.

[0227] The effectiveness of the treatment can be assessed using any suitable method. In some embodiments, the effectiveness of the treatment can be assessed by evaluation of observations of symptoms associated with myotonic dystrophy (e.g., muscle atrophy or weakness), by measurement of self-reported outcomes of the subject (e.g., mobility, self-care, daily activities, pain / discomfort, and anxiety / depression), or by quality of life indicators (e.g., life expectancy).

[0228] In some embodiments, a pharmaceutical composition described herein comprising a complex comprising a muscle targeting agent covalently linked to a molecular payload is administered to a subject at an effective concentration sufficient to modulate the activity or expression of a target gene by at least 10%, at least 20%, at least 30%, at least 40%, at least 50%, at least 60%, at least 70%, at least 80%, at least 90%, or at least 95% relative to a control (e.g., baseline level of gene expression prior to treatment).

[0229] Example

[0230] Example 1. Peptide mapping to determine the conjugation site of the oligonucleotide on the anti-TfR1 Fab-oligonucleotide conjugate

[0231] Peptide mapping was performed to determine the conjugation site of an anti-TfR1 conjugate comprising an anti-TfR1 Fab having the heavy and light chain sequences shown in Table 2, covalently linked to an antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) targeting DMPK via a linker comprising a valine-citrulline sequence (conjugated via lysine). The DMPK targeting ASO comprises a 5'-XYZ-3' configuration and comprises the nucleobase sequence of SEQ ID NO: 21. The conjugate comprises the structure of formula (Id):

[0232]

[0233] wherein +N represents an LNA (2'-4' methylene bridge) ribonucleoside, dN represents a 2'-deoxyribonucleoside, oN represents a 2'-O-methoxyethyl (MOE) modified ribonucleoside, oC represents 5-methyl-2'-MOE-cytidine, +C represents 5-methyl-2'-4'-bicyclo-cytidine (2'-4' methylene bridge), oU represents 5-methyl-2'-MOE-uridine, * represents a phosphorothioate internucleoside linkage, and wherein the oligonucleotide comprises a nucleobase sequence of CAGCGCCCACCAGUCA (SEQ ID NO: 21), and wherein R 2 is an anti-TfR1 Fab provided in Table 2, and wherein in each conjugate, n1 is independently an integer from 1 to 3.

[0234] Papain digestion

[0235] Oligonucleotides were cleaved from anti-TfR1 conjugates by digestion with papain. Prior to digestion, Thermo Scientific immobilized papain (P / N: 20341) was activated by adding 0.5 mL of 50% slurry to 4 mL of freshly prepared papain activation buffer (20 mM sodium phosphate, 10 mM EDTA, 20 mM cysteine, pH 7.0). The papain resin was mixed thoroughly and centrifuged at 3000 rcf for 5 minutes to pull out the resin. The supernatant was discarded and a second repeated wash was performed. After two washes, papain was resuspended to 50% slurry by adding 250 μL papain activation buffer. The anti-TfR1 conjugates that had undergone buffer were exchanged into papain digestion buffer (20 mM sodium phosphate, 10 mM EDTA, pH 7.0) using a Thermo Scientific Zeba desalting column (P / N: 89882). Before adding the conjugate, the column was balanced 3 times with 0.3mL buffer. The conjugate of 40 μL at a concentration of at least 8mg / mL was added to 100 μL of balanced immobilized papain resin. The sample was incubated with 1400rpm shaking for 1 hour at 40°C. After incubation, the papain resin was removed by adding each sample to a filter tube and centrifuging briefly until all liquid samples were thoroughly filtered. Another group of Zeba columns were balanced with LC-MS grade water (3 × 300 μμL). 100 μL of papain-digested conjugates were added to each column, and rotated at 1500rcf for 3 minutes to perform buffer exchange. 40 μg of material was diluted to 50 μL volumes with LC-MS water. Complete digestion of oligonucleotides was observed in all samples.

[0236] Mass spectra of intact mass of unlinked anti-TfR1 antibody Figure 1 The intact mass of the unlinked antibody determined by mass spectrometry was 47968.73 Da, and was consistent with the theoretical mass of an antibody with a post-translational modification (PTM) of 47968.01 Da (the theoretical mass of an antibody without a PTM is 47986.03 Da), which converts the first residue (Q) of the heavy chain into pyroglutamic acid. Figure 2The mass spectrum of the mass of the anti-TfR1 antibody-joint complex of the composition provided herein after cutting oligonucleotides by papain digestion is shown in. Two main peaks were observed, corresponding to a linker to antibody ratio (linker to antibody ratio, LAR) of 1 ("LAR1") and a LAR of 2 ("LAR2"). Next to each peak, the mass of the anti-TfR1 antibody-joint complex is shown, which is equal to the mass of the intact antibody (with pyroglutamic acid PTM) (47968.01Da) plus the mass of the joint (about 927.07Da / joint). The theoretical mass of the anti-TfR1 antibody-joint complex with LAR of 1 is 48895.08. The theoretical mass of the anti-TfR1 antibody-joint complex with LAR of 2 is 49822.15. Figure 1 The data shown in indicate that the anti-TfR1 conjugates of the tested compositions mainly include conjugates in which the antibody of the conjugate is linked to one DMPK-targeting ASO molecule and conjugates in which the antibody of the conjugate is linked to two DMPK-targeting ASO molecules.

[0237] Chymotrypsin digestion

[0238] The anti-TfR1 linker conjugate with the cleaved oligonucleotide was digested with immobilized chymotrypsin. 15 μL of Thermo SMART chymotrypsin resin (kit P / N: 60109104MBLPH) was added to an Eppendorf tube. 150 μL of chymotrypsin Smart digestion buffer was added. 40 μg of anti-TfR1 linker conjugate in the prepared 50 μL sample was added after papain digestion. The heating block was set to 70°C and mixed at 1400 rpm and incubated for 2.5 hours. After incubation, the papain resin was removed by adding each sample to a filter tube and briefly centrifuged until all liquid samples were thoroughly filtered. A stock solution of 500 mM tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine (TCEP) in water was prepared. The stock solution was added to the digested sample to a final concentration of 20 mM TCEP and incubated at room temperature for 30 minutes to reduce disulfides. The sample was concentrated by speedvac until the total sample volume was approximately 100 μL. Then 25 μL peptide samples (about 10 ug total peptides) were injected into a mass spectrometer for peptide mapping analysis. There was 100% sequence coverage in all chymotrypsin digests (data not shown), and papain-cleaved joints were identified in all conjugate groups. Oligonucleotides were then quantified according to the heavy and light chains of the antibody.

[0239] The summary of the percentage of occupancy of the oligonucleotide of each joint site is shown in Table 7 below.The hotspot joint sites are lysine 188 (K188) and lysine 190 (K190) in the light chain constant region in the composition based on Kabat numbering.In general, about 96% of the lysine residues corresponding to K188 and K190 are covalently linked to the oligonucleotide.Since 4% to 8% of the lysine residues corresponding to K213 are covalently linked to the oligonucleotide, some linkages are observed at the joint site lysine 213 (K213) based on Kabat numbering in the heavy chain constant region in the composition.A small amount of modification to other lysines is observed at very low levels (<1%).

[0244] Example 2. In vivo tissue distribution of a conjugate comprising an anti-TfR1 Fab conjugated to a DMPK targeting oligonucleotide in the DM1 mouse model

[0245] A conjugate comprising an anti-TfR1 Fab covalently linked to a DMPK targeting oligonucleotide (ASO) as described in Example 1 (labeled in this example as "anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugate") was tested in a mouse model expressing both human TfR1 and a human DMPK mutant containing expanded CUG repeats.

[0246] The conjugates were administered intravenously to mice at doses equivalent to 9.7 mg / kg ASO each on days 0 and 7. Tissue exposure of ASO was tested by hybrid ELISA (Burki et al., Nucleic Acid Ther. 2015 Oct; 25(5): 275-84; incorporated herein by reference), and ASO levels in tissues were plotted. Figure 3A , 3B , 3C and 3D show the amount of ASO in the heart, diaphragm, gastrocnemius or tibialis anterior muscle two weeks after the first injection, respectively. These results indicate that conjugates comprising anti-TfR1 antibodies (e.g., anti-TfR1 Fabs having VH and VL sequences provided in Table 2) are capable of delivering oligonucleotides (e.g., DMPK targeting ASOs) to a variety of muscle tissues after intravenous administration.

[0247] Example 3. Sustained knockdown of toxic human DMPK in hTfR1 / DMSXL homozygous mice 4 weeks after repeated administration of anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugates

[0248] A conjugate comprising an anti-TfR1 Fab covalently linked to a DMPK targeting oligonucleotide (ASO) as described in Example 1 (labeled "anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugate" in this example) was tested in a mouse model (hTfR1 / DMSXL mouse) expressing both human TfR1 and two copies of a mutant human DMPK transgene containing expanded CUG repeats.

[0249] On days 0 and 7, vehicle control (PBS) or 10 mg / kg ASO equivalent dose of anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugate was administered to mice. Mice were sacrificed on day 28 (4 weeks after the first dose of anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugate) and tissues were collected. RNA was extracted and selected tissue samples were fixed, paraffin-embedded and sectioned, followed by in situ hybridization. Reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) of RNA samples was performed to measure human DMPK and mouse Ppib (peptidyl prolyl isomerase) as internal controls. DMPK expression in Figures 4A to 4D The data are shown as geometric mean + / - standard deviation (n=6 to 9). The significance was assessed by Student's t-test (****P<0.0001).

[0250] Figure 4A It was shown that anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugate knocked down DMPK expression in the heart by 49% relative to PBS-treated mice. Figure 4B It was shown that anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugate knocked down DMPK expression in diaphragm muscle by 40% relative to PBS-treated mice. Figure 4C It was shown that anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugate knocked down DMPK expression in tibialis anterior muscle by 49% relative to PBS-treated mice. Figure 4D It was shown that anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugate knocked down DMPK expression in gastrocnemius muscle by 44% relative to PBS-treated mice.

[0251] Figure 5A and 5B It was shown that anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugate reduced DMPK foci within myofiber nuclei. Figure 5A Reduced DMPK foci were shown by in situ hybridization, and Figure 5BQuantification of DMPK foci in fluorescence microscopy images is shown, demonstrating that the conjugate reduced foci area by 49%. Data are presented as mean + / - standard deviation (n=7). Significance was assessed by t-test (*P<0.05).

[0252] These results demonstrate that administration of anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugates results in robust, sustained knockdown of human toxic DMPK in cardiac and skeletal muscle.

[0253] Example 4. Correction of splicing defects in hTfR1 / DMSXL homozygous mice by anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugates

[0254] A conjugate comprising an anti-TfR1 Fab covalently linked to a DMPK targeting oligonucleotide (ASO) as described in Example 2 (labeled in this example as "anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugate") was tested in a mouse model ("hTfR1 / DMSXL") that expresses both human TfR1 and two copies of a mutant human DMPK transgene containing expanded CUG repeats. These mice are known to exhibit splicing defects consistent with those observed in patients with DM1 (Huguet, et al. (2012) PLOS Genetics 8(11): e1003043). On days 0 and 7, mice were administered a vehicle control ("hTfR1 / DMSXL-PBS") or a 10 mg / kg ASO equivalent dose of anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugate ("hTfR1 / DMSXL-conjugate"). Mice expressing only human TfR1 but not mutant human DMPK transgenes (hTfR1 mice) and mice treated with PBS ("hTfR1-PBS") were used as another control to determine the extent of the splicing phenotype in hTfR1 / DMSXL mice and to assess the extent of the effect of the conjugate on splicing. Mice were sacrificed on day 28 (four weeks after administration of the first dose of anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugate), tissues were collected and RNA was extracted. Reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was performed to measure exon inclusion in a panel of RNAs known to be mis-spliced ​​during DM1 progression in humans and mice (Nakamori, et al. (2013) Ann. Neurol. 74(6): 862-872; Huguet, et al. (2012) PLOS Genetics 8(11): e1003043). Exon inclusion was calculated as percent splicedin (PSI) normalized to each spliced ​​RNA marker and was calculated using the data from heart ( Figure 6 ), diaphragm( Figure 7 ), tibialis anterior ( Figure 8 ) and gastrocnemius ( Fig. 9 ) were used to calculate the composite splicing index based on the normalized PSI values ​​of the splicing markers in . The composite splicing index was calculated as previously described (Tanner MK, et al. (2021) Nucleic Acids Res. 49: 2240-2254) and is shown as mean / -standard deviation.

[0255] Figure 6 It is shown that anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugate corrects splicing in hTfR1 / DMSXL mouse heart tissue, as shown in the composite splicing index data. The normalized PSI values ​​used to generate the composite splicing index data show correction of Mbnl2 exon 6 (E6) and Nfix E7 splicing in hTfR1 / DMSXL mouse heart tissue by treatment with anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugate, but not correction of Ldb3 E11 splicing. Figure 6 The composite splicing index data shown in are based on Ldb3E11, Mbnl2 E6, and Nfix E7 splicing data; Bin1 E11, Dtna E12, Insr E11, and Mbnl2 E5 were not included because their normalized PSI values ​​in cardiac tissue were not altered in hTfR1 / DMSXL mice relative to hTfR1 mice under the experimental conditions tested.

[0256] Figure 7 Anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugates are shown to correct splicing in hTfR1 / DMSXL mouse diaphragm tissue, as shown in the composite splicing index data. Normalized PSI values ​​used to generate the composite splicing index data show correction of Bin1 E11, Insr E11, Ldb3 E11, and Nfix E7 splicing in hTfR1 / DMSXL mouse diaphragm tissue by treatment with anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugates. Figure 7 The composite splicing index data shown in are based on Bin1 E11, Insr E11, Ldb3 E11, and Nfix E7 splicing data; Dtna E12, Mbnl2 E5, Mbnl2 E6, and Ttn E313 are not included because their normalized PSI values ​​in diaphragm tissue were not altered in hTfR1 / DMSXL mice relative to hTfR1 mice under the experimental conditions tested.

[0257] Figure 8Anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugates are shown to correct splicing in hTfR1 / DMSXL mouse tibialis anterior muscle tissue, as shown in the composite splicing index data. The normalized PSI values ​​used to generate the composite splicing index data show correction of Bin1 E11, Ldb3 E11, and Nfix E7 splicing in hTfR1 / DMSXL mouse tibialis anterior muscle tissue by treatment with anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugates, but not correction of Mbnl2 E6 splicing. Figure 8 The composite splicing index data shown in are based on Bin1 E11, Ldb3 E11, Mbnl2 E6, and Nfix E7 splicing data; Dtna E12, Insr E11, Mbnl2 E5, and Ttn E313 are not included because their normalized PSI values ​​in tibialis anterior muscle tissue were not altered in hTfR1 / DMSXL mice relative to hTfR1 mice under the experimental conditions tested.

[0258] Fig. 9 It is shown that anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugate corrects splicing in gastrocnemius muscle tissue of hTfR1 / DMSXL mice, as shown in the composite splicing index data. The normalized PSI values ​​used to generate the composite splicing index data show the correction of Mbnl2 E6, Nfix E7 and TtnE313 splicing in gastrocnemius muscle tissue of hTfR1 / DMSXL mice by treatment with anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugate. Fig. 9 The composite splicing index data shown in are based on Mbnl2 E6, Nfix E7, and Ttn E313 splicing data; Bin1 E11, Dtna E12, Insr E11, Ldb3 E11, and Mbnl2 E5 are not included because their normalized PSI values ​​in gastrocnemius muscle tissue were not altered in hTfR1 / DMSXL mice relative to hTfR1 mice under the experimental conditions tested.

[0259] These results suggest that administration of anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugates facilitates the correction of DM1 splicing defects in cardiac and skeletal muscles.

[0260] Example 5. DMPK knockdown in non-human primate and DM1 patient myotubes

[0261] The conjugate comprising an anti-TfR1 Fab covalently linked to a DMPK targeting oligonucleotide (ASO) as described in Example 2 (labeled in this example as "anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugate") was tested in human DM1 patient myotubes (32F cells) and non-human primate (NHP) myotubes. The DM1 patient myotubes used expressed both wild-type DMPK mRNA and a mutant DMPK mRNA containing 380 CUG repeats. The NHP myotubes used expressed only wild-type DMPK.

[0262] DM1 patient cells or NHP cells were seeded into 96-well plates in growth medium at a density of 50,000 cells / well and allowed to recover overnight. The next day, the growth medium was changed to low serum differentiation medium and the cells were treated with conjugates at concentrations equivalent to 125nM, 250nM, or 500nM ASO. The cells were incubated for 10 days and then cDNA was synthesized using the Cells-to-Ct kit, with crude cell lysate as the source of total RNA.

[0263] The cDNA was used to assess total DMPK knockdown using Taqman PCR. Data were normalized to PPIB expression and expressed using 2 -ΔΔCt The knockdown of DMPK compared to PBS-treated controls ("Vehicle") was determined. Fig.10 Data shown in are presented as mean DMPK expression + standard deviation relative to species-matched vehicle controls (n=4 replicates per condition).

[0264] The results showed that when treated at physiologically relevant concentrations, anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugates achieved knockdown of DMPK expression in both normal NHP myotubes and DM1 patient myotubes, with a higher degree of knockdown of DMPK expression in DM1 patient cells (expressing both wild-type DMPK mRNA and DMPK mRNA containing 380 CUG repeats) compared to NHP cells (expressing only wild-type DMPK mRNA) ( Fig.10 ). At an ASO equivalent concentration of 125 nM, the conjugate achieved approximately 40% DMPK knockdown in NHP myotubes and approximately 65% ​​DMPK knockdown in DM1 patient myotubes relative to the vehicle-only control. At an ASO equivalent concentration of 250 nM, the conjugate achieved approximately 45% DMPK knockdown in NHP myotubes and approximately 80% DMPK knockdown in DM1 patient myotubes relative to the vehicle-only control. At an ASO equivalent concentration of 500 nM, the conjugate achieved approximately 60% DMPK knockdown in NHP myotubes and approximately 90% DMPK knockdown in DM1 patient myotubes relative to the vehicle-only control.

[0265] These results indicate that the conjugate comprising an anti-TfR1 Fab covalently linked to a DMPK targeting oligonucleotide can achieve a greater degree of DMPK knockdown in human myotubes expressing wild-type DMPK mRNA and mutant DMPK mRNA (with expanded CUG repeats) relative to cynomolgus monkey myotubes expressing wild-type DMPK.
