[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 the 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 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 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).
[0085] CDR: The term "CDR" as used herein refers to the complementarity determining region within an antibody variable sequence. 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, CDR"), interspersed with more conservative regions called "framework regions" ("framework regions, FR"). 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. Methods known in the art can be used, for example, 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) to accurately identify the scope of the framework region and CDR. See, for example,

[0087] 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).
[0088] 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.

[0094] 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.
[0095] 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.
[0096] 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.
[0097] 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) which is a serine / threonine protein kinase. Substrates of this enzyme may include myogenin, the beta 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, NM_001081562.2, NM_001288764.1, NM_001288765.1, and NM_001288766.1).
[0098] 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.
[0099] 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.
[0100] 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.
[0101] 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.
[0102] 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.
[0103] 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.
[0104] 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.
[0105] 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.
[0106] 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).
[0107] 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. In some embodiments, the subject is a patient, such as a human patient suffering from or suspected of having a disease. In some embodiments, the subject is a human patient suffering from or suspected of having a disease caused by a disease-associated repeat expansion (e.g., a disease-associated repeat expansion in a DMPK allele).
[0108] Transferrin receptor: The term "transferrin receptor" (also referred to as TFRC, CD71, p90, TFR or TFR1) as used herein refers to a cell surface receptor that binds transferrin to promote internalization of iron uptake by endocytosis. In some embodiments, the transferrin receptor may be of human origin (NCBI Gene ID 7037), non-human primate origin (e.g., NCBI Gene ID 711568 or NCBI Gene ID 102136007), or rodent origin (e.g., NCBI Gene ID 22042). In addition, a variety of human transcript variants encoding different isoforms of the receptor have been characterized (e.g., as annotated with the following GenBank RefSeq accession numbers: NP_001121620.1, NP_003225.2, NP_001300894.1, and NP_001300895.1).
[0109] 2'-modified nucleosides: As used herein, the terms "2'-modified nucleosides" and "2'-modified ribonucleosides" are used interchangeably and refer to nucleosides having a modified sugar moiety at the 2' position. In some embodiments, the 2'-modified nucleoside is a 2'-4' bicyclic nucleoside, wherein the 2' and 4' positions of the sugar are bridged (e.g., bridged by a methylene, ethylene, or (S)-constrained ethyl bridge). In some embodiments, the 2'-modified nucleoside is a non-bicyclic 2'-modified nucleoside, e.g., wherein the 2' position of the sugar moiety is substituted. Some non-limiting examples of 2'-modified nucleosides include: 2'-deoxy, 2'-fluoro (2'-F), 2'-O-methyl (2'-O-Me), 2'-O-methoxyethyl (2'-MOE), 2'-O-aminopropyl (2'-O-AP), 2'-O-dimethylaminoethyl (2'-O-DMAOE), 2'-O-dimethylaminopropyl (2'-O-DMAP), 2'-O-dimethylaminoethyloxyethyl (2'-O-DMAEOE), 2'-ON-methylacetamido (2'-O-NMA), locked nucleic acid (LNA, methylene bridged nucleic acid), ethylene bridged nucleic acid (ENA), and (S)-constrained ethyl bridged nucleic acid (cEt).

In some embodiments, complexes comprise muscle targeting antibodies covalently linked to one or more oligonucleotides. In some embodiments, oligonucleotides are antisense oligonucleotides (e.g., reducing the level of mutant or wild-type DMPK RNA, or the activity of DMPK gene products) targeting DMPK RNA to reduce the expression or activity of DMPK.

[0348] Example
[0349] Example 1. In vivo tissue distribution of a conjugate containing an anti-TfR1 Fab conjugated to a DMPK targeting oligonucleotide in the DM1 mouse model
[0350] A conjugate comprising an anti-TfR1 Fab conjugated to a DMPK targeting oligonucleotide (ASO) was tested in a mouse model expressing both human TfR1 and a human DMPK mutant containing expanded CUG repeats. The anti-TfR1 Fab used had a VH / VL sequence provided in Table 2. The Fab was covalently linked (conjugated by lysine) to a DMPK targeting oligonucleotide comprising a nucleobase sequence of SEQ ID NO: 21 via a linker comprising a valine-citrulline sequence. The conjugate comprises a structure of formula (Id):
[0351]
[0352] 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 comprising an anti-TfR1 antibody provided in Table 2, and wherein in each conjugate, n1 is independently an integer from 1 to 3.
[0353] The conjugate was administered intravenously to mice at a dose equivalent to 9.7 mg / kg ASO 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; which is incorporated herein by reference), and ASO levels in tissues were plotted. Figure 1A , 1B , 1C and 1D 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.
[0354] Example 2. Sustained knockdown of toxic human DMPK in hTfR1 / DMSXL homozygous mice 4 weeks after repeated administration of anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugates
[0355] The conjugates comprising anti-TfR1Fab covalently linked to DMPK targeting oligonucleotides (ASOs) as described in Example 1 (labeled in this example as "anti-TfR1Fab-ASO conjugates") were tested in a mouse model (hTfR1 / DMSXL mice) expressing both human TfR1 and two copies of a mutant human DMPK transgene containing expanded CUG repeats. On days 0 and 7, vehicle controls (PBS) or 10 mg / kg ASO equivalent doses of anti-TfR1Fab-ASO conjugates were administered to mice. Mice were sacrificed on day 28 (4 weeks after the first dose of anti-TfR1Fab-ASO conjugates were administered) 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 (peptidylprolyl isomerase) as an internal control. DMPK expression in Figures 2A to 2D 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).
[0356] Figure 2A It was shown that anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugate knocked down DMPK expression in the heart by 49% relative to PBS-treated mice. Figure 2B It was shown that anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugate knocked down DMPK expression in diaphragm muscle by 40% relative to PBS-treated mice. Figure 2C 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 2D It was shown that anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugate knocked down DMPK expression in gastrocnemius muscle by 44% relative to PBS-treated mice.
[0357] Figure 3A and 3B It was shown that anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugate reduced DMPK foci within myofiber nuclei. Figure 3A Reduced DMPK foci were shown by in situ hybridization, and Figure 3B Quantification 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).
[0358] 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.
[0359] Example 3. Correction of splicing defects in hTfR1 / DMSXL homozygous mice by anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugates
[0360] 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 ("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 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 set 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 the normalized percent spliced in (PSI) for each spliced RNA marker and using RNA from heart ( Figure 4 ), diaphragm( Figure 5 ), tibialis anterior ( Figure 6 ) and gastrocnemius ( Figure 7) were used to calculate the composite splicing index using 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.
[0361] Figure 4 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 Ldb3E11 splicing. Figure 4 The composite splicing index data shown in are based on Ldb3E11, Mbnl2E6, and Nfix E7 splicing data; Bin1E11, Dtna E12, Insr E11, and Mbnl2E5 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.
[0362] Figure 5 Anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugates are shown to correct splicing in hTfR1 / DMSXL mouse diaphragm tissue, as shown in the composite splicing index data. The normalized PSI values used to generate the composite splicing index data show the correction of Bin1E11, Insr E11, Ldb3E11 and Nfix E7 splicing in hTfR1 / DMSXL mouse diaphragm tissue by treatment with anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugates. Figure 5 The composite splicing index data shown in are based on Bin1E11, Insr E11, Ldb3E11, and Nfix E7 splicing data; Dtna E12, Mbnl2E5, Mbnl2E6, 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.
[0363] Figure 6It is shown that the anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugate corrects 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 Bin1E11, Ldb3E11 and NfixE7 splicing in hTfR1 / DMSXL mouse tibialis anterior muscle tissue by treatment with anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugate, but not correction of Mbnl2E6 splicing. Figure 6 The composite splicing index data shown in are based on Bin1E11, Ldb3E11, Mbnl2E6, and Nfix E7 splicing data; Dtna E12, Insr E11, Mbnl2E5, 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.
[0364] Figure 7 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 Mbnl2E6, Nfix E7 and TtnE313 splicing in gastrocnemius muscle tissue of hTfR1 / DMSXL mice by treatment with anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugate. Figure 7 The composite splicing index data shown in are based on Mbnl2E6, Nfix E7, and Ttn E313 splicing data; Bin1E11, Dtna E12, Insr E11, Ldb3E11, and Mbnl2E5 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.
[0365] These results suggest that administration of anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugate facilitates the correction of DM1 splicing defects in cardiac and skeletal muscles.
[0366] Example 4. DMPK knockdown in non-human primate and DM1 patient myotubes
[0367] The 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 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.
[0368] 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.
[0369] The cDNA was used to assess total DMPK knockdown using Taqman PCR. Data were normalized to PPIB expression and expressed using 2-ΔΔ C The t method was used to determine DMPK knockdown compared to PBS-treated controls ("Vehicle"). Figure 8 Data shown in are presented as mean DMPK expression + standard deviation relative to species-matched vehicle controls (n=4 replicates per condition).
[0370] The results showed that when treated at physiologically relevant concentrations, anti-TfR1Fab-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) ( Figure 8 ). 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.
[0371] 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.
[0372] Example 5. DMPK knockdown in hTfR1 / DMSXL hemizygous mice 12 weeks after administration of anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugate
[0373] The conjugates containing anti-TfR1Fab covalently linked to DMPK targeting oligonucleotides (ASO) as described in Example 1 were tested in the hTfR1 / DMSXL hemizygous mouse model. After intravenous administration to mice via the tail vein, mutant human DMPK expression was monitored in a variety of tissues for 12 weeks. The conjugates were administered to mice at 20 mg / kg ASO equivalent doses. Heart, diaphragm, gastrocnemius and tibialis anterior muscle tissues were collected. Mutant human DMPK was knocked down by quantitative PCR (qPCR) for DMPK mRNA expression. DMPK knockdown in treated mice was determined in 1 week (7 days), 2 weeks (14 days), 4 weeks (28 days), 8 weeks (56 days) and 12 weeks (84 days) after the administration of anti-TfR1Fab-ASO conjugates.
[0374] Fig.9A , Fig. 9B , Fig. 9C and Fig.9D Relative to control (PBS treated) mice, mutant human DMPK expression in the heart, diaphragm, tibialis anterior and gastrocnemius tissues of treated mice is shown respectively. The maximum knockdown of DMPK is usually reached 2 to 4 weeks after treatment, after which DMPK knockdown decreases. After administration of the conjugate, the expression of mutant human DMPK in the heart remains suppressed for up to 3 months. Data are expressed as mean + / - standard deviation (n = 5 to 12 replicates for each tissue).
[0375] These data indicate that the efficacy of the administered anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugate persists for at least two weeks following treatment.
[0376] Example 6. DMPK knockdown in hTfR1 / DMSXL hemizygous mice following administration of anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugates
[0377] The conjugates containing anti-TfR1Fab covalently linked to DMPK targeting oligonucleotides (ASOs) as described in Example 1 were further tested in the hTfR1 / DMSXL hemizygous mouse model. DMPK expression in different tissues was evaluated 4 weeks after treatment with the same dose of anti-TfR1Fab-ASO conjugates (administered in a single dose or two separate doses). Mice received a single dose of conjugate equivalent to 10 mg / kg ASO, or received two doses of conjugate (each dose equivalent to 5 mg / kg ASO). Mice receiving two 5 mg / kg doses received the doses one week apart or two weeks apart. DMPK knockdown and ASO levels were evaluated in multiple muscle tissues 4 weeks (28 days) after the last dose (10 mg / kg dose or the second dose in two 5 mg / kg doses).
[0378] Fig. 10A , 10B , 10C and 10D show the expression of DMPK in the heart, diaphragm, tibialis anterior and gastrocnemius tissues of treated mice, respectively, relative to control (vehicle treated) mice. Mice treated with all dosing regimens continued to knock down toxic human DMPK for up to 4 weeks. Dividing the 10 mg / kg dose into two separate 5 mg / kg doses improved the knockdown of DMPK in some tested muscle tissues. A single 10 mg / kg dose resulted in a 39% knockdown in the heart, a 50% knockdown in the diaphragm, a 38% knockdown in the tibialis anterior, and a 31% knockdown in the gastrocnemius; two 5 mg / kg doses administered one week apart resulted in a 51% knockdown in the heart, a 45% knockdown in the diaphragm, a 46% knockdown in the tibialis anterior, and a 50% knockdown in the gastrocnemius; and two 5 mg / kg doses administered two weeks apart resulted in a 55% knockdown in the heart, a 35% knockdown in the diaphragm, a 47% knockdown in the tibialis anterior, and a 40% knockdown in the gastrocnemius, as measured 28 days after the last dose of the complex was administered. Data are expressed as mean + standard deviation (n = 6 replicates for each tissue). Significance was determined by a one-way ANOVA test.
[0379] These results suggest that anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugates can be administered to a subject in temporally spaced doses to enhance the efficacy of DMPK knockdown without increasing the total dose of ASO administered to the subject.
[0380] Example 7. DMPK knockdown in hTfR1 / DMSXL hemizygous mice following administration of anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugates
[0381] The conjugate comprising an anti-TfR1 Fab covalently linked to a DMPK targeting oligonucleotide (ASO) as described in Example 1 was further tested in the hTfR1 / DMSXL hemizygous mouse model administered as a single dose or two doses one week apart. DMPK expression in various tissues of mice after treatment with the conjugate was assessed relative to expression in control (vehicle-treated) mouse tissues.
[0382] Fig.11A , 11B , 11C and 11D show the expression of mutant human DMPK in the heart, diaphragm, tibialis anterior and gastrocnemius tissues of mice treated with a 5 mg / kg ASO equivalent dose, a 10 mg / kg ASO equivalent dose or a 20 mg / kg ASO equivalent dose of the conjugate, respectively.DMPK was assessed to be low 28 days after the conjugate was administered. A dose-dependent trend of toxic human DMPK being low was observed, with approximately the same effect at the 10 mg / kg and 20 mg / kg doses tested at the 28th day time point. The 5 mg / kg dose resulted in a 30% knockdown in the heart, a 26% knockdown in the diaphragm, a 39% knockdown in the tibialis anterior, and a 19% knockdown in the gastrocnemius; the 10 mg / kg dose resulted in a 46% knockdown in the heart, a 51% knockdown in the diaphragm, a 46% knockdown in the tibialis anterior, and a 42% knockdown in the gastrocnemius; and the 20 mg / kg dose resulted in a 41% knockdown in the heart, a 47% knockdown in the diaphragm, a 53% knockdown in the tibialis anterior, and a 40% knockdown in the gastrocnemius, as measured 28 days after administration of the complex. Data are expressed as mean + standard deviation. Significance was determined by a one-way ANOVA test.
[0383] Fig. 12A , 12B, 12C and 12D respectively show the human mutant DMPK expression in the heart, diaphragm, tibialis anterior and gastrocnemius tissue of mice treated with the conjugate of two 5mg / kg ASO equivalent doses (10mg / kg in total) or two 10mg / kg ASO equivalent doses (20mg / kg in total). Two 5mg / kg ASO equivalent doses and two 10mg / kg ASO equivalent doses were administered at intervals of one week. DMPK was assessed to be knocked down 28 days after the first dose was administered to mice (i.e., 21 days after the second dose was administered). The dose-dependent effect of knocking down DMPK was observed in all assay tissues. Two 5 mg / kg doses of the complex resulted in 36% knockdown in the heart, 34% knockdown in the diaphragm, 36% knockdown in the gastrocnemius, and 38% knockdown in the tibialis anterior; two 10 mg / kg doses of the complex resulted in 51% knockdown in the heart, 78% knockdown in the diaphragm, 64% knockdown in the gastrocnemius, and 57% knockdown in the tibialis anterior, as measured 28 days after administration of the first dose of the complex. Data are expressed as mean + standard deviation (n = 5 to 6 replicates per tissue). Significance was determined by Brown-Forsythe and Welch ANOVA test with Dunnett T3 multiple comparison test.
[0384] Anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugates were also tested in hTfR1 / DMSXL hemizygous mice after four monthly doses of the conjugate were administered to mice. The conjugates were administered as follows: four 5 mg / kg ASO-equivalent doses or four 10 mg / kg ASO-equivalent doses of the conjugate, with each administration spaced 4 weeks apart (on days 0, 28, 56, and 84, respectively). DMPK knockdown in multiple tissues was assessed 112 days (16 weeks) after the first dose was administered to mice. Fig.13A , 13B, 13C and 13D respectively show the expression of human mutant DMPK in the heart, diaphragm, tibialis anterior and gastrocnemius tissues of mice treated with conjugates. DMPK knockdown was observed in all tested tissues, and the knockdown of both the tibialis anterior and gastrocnemius of mice administered with four 10mg / kg ASO equivalent doses was statistically significantly improved relative to mice receiving four 5mg / kg doses. The complex of four 5mg / kg monthly doses resulted in 50% knockdown in the heart, 43% knockdown in the diaphragm, 45% knockdown in the gastrocnemius, and 47% knockdown in the tibialis anterior; and the complex of four 10mg / kg monthly doses resulted in 48% knockdown in the heart, 51% knockdown in the diaphragm, 64% knockdown in the gastrocnemius, and 59% knockdown in the tibialis anterior, as measured 112 days after the first dose of the complex was administered. Data are expressed as mean + standard deviation (n = 5 to 6 replicates for each tissue). Significance was determined by ANOVA test followed by uncorrected Fisher's least significant difference test.
[0385] These results show the effect of different doses of anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugate on the expression of toxic human DMPK and suggest that the efficacy of the conjugate can be enhanced by splitting the dose of the conjugate.
[0386] Example 8. DMPK knockdown in non-human primates following administration of anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugates
[0387] A conjugate comprising an anti-TfR1 Fab covalently linked to a DMPK targeting oligonucleotide (ASO) as described in Example 1 was tested in a non-human primate (NHP) model (cynomolgus monkey; Macaca fascicularis) at doses informed by the murine studies described in Examples 5 to 7. DMPK expression in various tissues was assessed following treatment with the conjugate as measured using a quantitative PCR assay (qPCR) for DMPK mRNA expression.
[0388] Fig.14A and 14B The DMPK expression in the gastrocnemius and tibialis anterior muscle tissues of NHP treated with the conjugate of about 10mg / kgASO equivalent dose measured at 4, 8 and 12 weeks after intravenous infusion of the conjugate is shown respectively. Expression is shown relative to the control animals of vehicle only. At each time point tested, the expression in the animals of the conjugate was reduced relative to the control (the relative expression in the gastrocnemius was 0.54, 0.47 and 0.61 respectively at 4, 8 and 12 weeks after administration; the relative expression in the tibialis anterior was 0.75, 0.48 and 0.72 respectively at 4, 8 and 12 weeks after administration). Data are expressed as mean + / - standard deviation. Significance was determined by unpaired t test.
[0389] Fig.15A , 15B , 15C and 15D show DMPK expression in heart, diaphragm, tibialis anterior and gastrocnemius tissues of NHP treated with 5mg / kg or 10mg / kg ASO equivalent doses of conjugates, respectively, relative to control (vehicle treated) animals. DMPK knockdown was assessed four weeks after the conjugate was administered. The dose-dependent effect of the conjugate on DMPK knockdown in cardiac muscle and skeletal muscle was observed. At the assay time, the 5mg / kg dose resulted in 21% knockdown in the heart, 43% knockdown in the diaphragm, 22% knockdown in the tibialis anterior and 25% knockdown in the gastrocnemius; and the 10mg / kg dose resulted in 38% knockdown in the heart, 60% knockdown in the diaphragm, 30% knockdown in the tibialis anterior and 35% knockdown in the gastrocnemius. These results are consistent with the dose effects previously observed in the hTfR1 / DMSXL mouse model. Data are expressed as mean + standard deviation. Significance was determined by one-way ANOVA test with Dunnett's post hoc analysis.
[0390] Fig.16A , 16B , 16C, 16D, 16E, 16F and 16G respectively show the DMPK expression in the heart, diaphragm, tibialis anterior, gastrocnemius, masseter, esophagus and duodenum tissues of NHP treated with two 5mg / kg or two 10mg / kg ASO equivalent doses of conjugates, wherein the two doses were administered at four weeks (28 days) apart.DMPK was assessed to be low after 8 weeks of administration of the first dose of the conjugate.Anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugates were administered monthly resulting in continuous DMPK being knocked down in all tissues measured.Administering 10mg / kg ASO equivalent doses monthly resulted in the maximum and most significant knockdown of WT DMPK in tissues associated with DM1 pathology. The composite of two 5 mg / kg ASO equivalent doses resulted in 24% knockdown in the heart, 41% knockdown in the diaphragm, 56% knockdown in the gastrocnemius, 45% knockdown in the tibialis anterior, 39% knockdown in the masseter, 21% knockdown in the esophagus, and 28% knockdown in the duodenum; the composite of two 10 mg / kg ASO equivalent doses resulted in 34% knockdown in the heart, 64% knockdown in the diaphragm, 70% knockdown in the gastrocnemius, 65% knockdown in the tibialis anterior, 60% knockdown in the masseter, 49% knockdown in the esophagus, and 67% knockdown in the duodenum, as measured 8 weeks after the first dose was administered. Data are expressed as mean + standard deviation. Significance was determined by one-way ANOVA followed by an uncorrected Fisher's least significant difference (LSD) test.
[0391] These results demonstrate that the anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugate is effective in the NHP model. These results also indicate that the efficacy of the conjugate is prolonged when administered monthly and are consistent with previous results obtained in a mouse model that recapitulates the pathological development of DM1.
