In some embodiments, polymeric molecules are considered to be "substantially identical" to each other if the sequences of the polymeric molecules are at least 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95% or 99% identical. The calculation of the percent identity of two nucleic acid or polypeptide sequences can be performed, for example, by comparing the two sequences for optimal comparison purposes (e.g., gaps can be introduced into one or both sequences of the first and second sequences for optimal comparison, and non-identical sequences can be ignored for comparison purposes). In certain embodiments, the length of the sequence compared for comparison purposes is at least 30%, at least 40%, at least 50%, at least 60%, at least 70%, at least 80%, at least 90%, at least 95% or substantially 100% of the length of the reference sequence. The nucleotides on the corresponding positions are then compared. When the position in the first sequence is occupied by the same residue (e.g., nucleotide or amino acid) as the corresponding position in the second sequence, the molecules are identical at the position. The percent identity between the two sequences is a function of the number of identical positions shared by the sequences, taking into account the number of spaces and the length of each space, and it is necessary to introduce the function to perform the optimal comparison of the two sequences. The comparison of sequences and the determination of the percent identity between the two sequences can be completed using a mathematical algorithm. For example, the percent identity between two nucleotide sequences can be determined using the algorithm of Meyers and Miller (CABIOS, 1989, 4:11-17), which has been incorporated into the ALIGN program (version 2.0). In some exemplary embodiments, the nucleic acid sequence comparison performed with the ALIGN program is determined using the PAM120 weight residue table, a gap length penalty of 12, and a gap penalty of 4. Alternatively, the NWSgapdna.CMP matrix can be used to determine the percent identity between two nucleotide sequences using the GAP program in the GCG software package.

[0154] Nucleobases

[0155] According to the present disclosure, various nucleobases can be used in the provided oligonucleotides. In some embodiments, the nucleobase is a natural nucleobase, most commonly A, T, C, G, and U. In some embodiments, the nucleobase is a modified nucleobase, because the nucleobase is not A, T, C, G, or U. In some embodiments, the nucleobase is an optionally substituted A, T, C, G, or U or a substituted tautomer of A, T, C, G, or U. In some embodiments, the nucleobase is an optionally substituted A, T, C, G, or U, for example, 5mC, 5-hydroxymethyl C, etc. In some embodiments, the nucleobase is an alkyl-substituted A, T, C, G, or U. In some embodiments, the nucleobase is A. In some embodiments, the nucleobase is T. In some embodiments, the nucleobase is C. In some embodiments, the nucleobase is G. In some embodiments, the nucleobase is U. In some embodiments, the nucleobase is 5mC. In some embodiments, the nucleobase is a substituted A, T, C, G, or U. In certain embodiments, the core base is a substituted tautomer of A, T, C, G or U. In certain embodiments, certain functional groups in the core base are substituted to minimize the unwanted reaction in the oligonucleotide synthesis process. Suitable techniques for protecting the core base in the oligonucleotide synthesis are well known in the art and can be utilized according to the present disclosure. In certain embodiments, modified core base improves the characteristic and / or activity of the oligonucleotide. For example, in many cases, 5mC can be used to replace C to regulate some undesirable biological effects, for example, immune response. In certain embodiments, when determining sequence identity, the core base substituted with identical hydrogen bonding pattern is considered to be identical with unsubstituted core base, for example, 5mC can be considered to be identical with C [for example, replacing the oligonucleotide of C with 5mC (for example, AT5mCG) is considered to have identical base sequence with the oligonucleotide having C (for example, ATCG) at corresponding one or more positions].

[0156] In some embodiments, the oligonucleotide comprises one or more A, T, C, G or U. In some embodiments, the oligonucleotide comprises one or more optionally substituted A, T, C, G or U. In some embodiments, the oligonucleotide comprises one or more 5-methylcytosine (5mC), 5-hydroxymethylcytosine, 5-formylcytosine or 5-carboxylcytosine. In some embodiments, the oligonucleotide comprises one or more 5mC. In some embodiments, each core base in the oligonucleotide is independently selected from optionally substituted A, T, C, G and U and optionally substituted tautomers of A, T, C, G and U. In some embodiments, each core base in the oligonucleotide is independently optionally protected A, T, C, 5mC, G and U. In some embodiments, each core base in the oligonucleotide is optionally substituted A, T, C, G or U. In some embodiments, each core base in the oligonucleotide is selected from the group consisting of: A, T, C, G, U and 5mC.

[0157] In some embodiments, the nucleobase is an optionally substituted 2AP or DAP. In some embodiments, the nucleobase is an optionally substituted 2AP. In some embodiments, the nucleobase is an optionally substituted DAP. In some embodiments, the nucleobase is 2AP. In some embodiments, the nucleobase is DAP.

[0158] In some embodiments, the nucleobase is a natural nucleobase or a modified nucleobase derived from a natural nucleobase. Examples include uracil, thymine, adenine, cytosine and guanine, optionally with the corresponding amino group protected by an acyl protecting group, 2-fluorouracil, 2-fluorocytosine, 5-bromouracil, 5-iodouracil, 2,6-diaminopurine, azocytosine, pyrimidine analogs (such as pseudoisocytosine and pseudouracil) and other modified nucleobases (such as 8-substituted purines, xanthine or hypoxanthine) (the latter two are natural degradation products). Certain examples of modified nucleobases are disclosed in Chiu and Rana, RNA, 2003, 9, 1034-1048; Limbach et al., Nucleic Acids Research, 1994, 22, 2183-2196 and Revankar and Rao, Comprehensive Natural Products Chemistry, Vol. 7, 313.

[0159] In some embodiments, the oligonucleotides provided include one or more 5-methylcytosines. In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides an oligonucleotide whose base sequence is disclosed herein, such as in Table 1, wherein each T can be independently replaced by U, and vice versa, and each cytosine is optionally and independently replaced by 5-methylcytosine, and vice versa.

[0310] SARM1

[0311] In some embodiments, SARM1 refers to a gene or its gene product (e.g., nucleic acid (e.g., DNA, RNA, etc.), transcript (e.g., SARM1 mRNA), protein encoded thereby (e.g., SARM1 polypeptide), etc.) from a species, which may be referred to as SARM2, NAD(+) hydrolase SARM1, NADP(+) hydrolase SARM1, NADase SARM1, sterile alpha and armadillo repeat protein, sterile alpha and TIR motif-containing protein 1, SAMD2, MyD88-5, SAM domain-containing protein 2, sterile alpha motif domain-containing protein 2, HsTIR, etc. Various SARM1 sequences, including variants thereof, are readily available to those skilled in the art. Various techniques (e.g., assays, cells, animal models, etc.) have also been reported and can be used to characterize and / or evaluate the technology (e.g., oligonucleotides, compositions, methods, etc.) provided in accordance with the present disclosure.

[0312] The SARM1 gene is reported to encode the SARM1 protein, which, depending on the isoform, comprises either 724 or 690 amino acids (depending on the isoform) and is primarily localized in the cytoplasm and mitochondria. Some studies have also suggested that SARM1 may be localized in the axons, dendrites, and / or synapses of neuronal cells. It has been reported that, in some embodiments, SARM1 comprises multiple domains from the N-terminal to the C-terminal regions, including the following: (i) a mitochondrial targeting region; (ii) an armadillo repeat (ARM) domain; (iii) a first sterile alpha motif (SAM) domain; (iv) a second sterile alpha motif (SAM) domain; and (v) a toll / interleukin-1 (IL-1) receptor (TIR) domain. SARM1 from other species (e.g., monkey, rat, and mouse) has been reported to contain various conserved domains similar to those of human SAR1.

[0313] SARM1 protein is reported to be a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD +) into nicotinamide (NAM) and adenosine diphosphate ribose (ADPR) and cyclic adenosine diphosphate ribose (cADPR) (Essuman et al., Neuron, 2017). In addition, homodimerization of SARM1 has been reported to enhance this enzymatic activity (Gerdts et al., J Neurosci., 2013; Summer et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA, 2016). Some studies suggest that neuronal stress or injury may upregulate SARM1 activity by allowing this dimerization to occur by disengaging from the inhibition exerted by the ARM domain (Loring and Thompson, Cell Chem Biol., 2020). SARM1 has been reported to be associated with the presence and function of nicotinamide mononucleotide adenylyltransferase 2 (NMNAT2), an enzyme that has been described as neuroprotective and reported to function to maintain low levels of nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) and relatively high levels of NAD + (Figley et al., Neuron, 2021).

[0314] The putative NADase activity of SARM1 is thought to be mediated by depletion of NAD + This can lead to cell death and / or axonal degeneration and / or trigger signaling cascades by increasing ADPR and cADPR (Loring and Thompson, Cell Chemical Biol, 2020). SARM1 knockdown and / or deletion has been reported to be neuroprotective by preventing axonal degeneration and / or inhibiting Wallerian degeneration induced by NMNAT2 depletion or deficiency (Gilley et al., Cell Rep., 2015; Gilley et al., Cell Reports, 2017). Several studies have also detailed in vivo prevention of peripheral neuropathy or retinal degeneration by SARM1 knockout, further confirming the potential neuroprotective role of SARM1 downregulation (Geisler et al., Brain, 2016; Finnegan et al., Int J Mol Sci, 2022).

[0315] In some embodiments, the SARM1 gene, transcript (e.g., mRNA before or after splicing), or protein variant or isoform comprises a mutation (in some embodiments, the mutation may be referred to or reported as a SNP). SARM1 mutations have been reported to be enriched in subjects with ALS (Bloom et al., Mol Neurodegener, 2022). Among these mutations, some have been reported to produce constitutively active SARM1 proteins. In some embodiments, the mutation is rs782325355, rs71373646, rs71373646, rs11652384, rs1555585331, rs781854217, rs782421919, rs782331635, rs1032963037, rs1449836804, rs1555585243, rs376587698, rs369186722, rs373458416, rs782706244, rs1555585662, rs1555585331 5804, rs377210302, rs1555585809, rs782228906, rs782106973, rs571724138, rs539229444, rs782196205, rs782398426, rs782321764, rs782753946, rs1451417529, rs782676389, rs782225125, rs782774927, rs782256561, rs372946020, and / or rs781850558. In some embodiments, the mutations are Δ226-232, Δ249-252, V184G, G206S, L223P, R267W, V331E, E340K, C482Y, T385A, T502P, E693D, V112I, A240E, R244S, A250T, A275V, R310H, A341V, R403 In some embodiments, the oligonucleotides target wild-type and mutant SARM1. ...In some embodiments, the base sequence of the oligonucleotide is complementary to a characteristic portion shared by various forms of SARM1 transcripts, for example, in some embodiments, all forms of SARM1 transcripts in a subject. In some embodiments, the provided technology can selectively reduce the level of SARM1 transcripts associated with a condition, disorder, or disease. In some embodiments, the provided technology can selectively reduce the level of mutant SARM1 transcripts and / or products encoded therefrom (e.g., polypeptides).
