[0006] FIELD
[0007] The present embodiments relate to DNA dendrimers and other molecules linked to, or encoding, targeting molecules, cargo molecules, adaptor molecules, support molecules, or combinations thereof, and methods of using and producing the same.
[0008] BACKGROUND
[0009] In many research, diagnostic, and therapeutic applications, the targets of action of a molecule, such as a reporter probe, a small molecule drug, a peptide or a nucleic acid, are intracellular. For nucleic acids that require transcription and / or translation inside a target cell, the nucleic acid must be transported safety into the cell nucleus. However, targeting of a molecule to selected cell types, achieving intracellular delivery to the cytosol and subsequent trafficking to the desired intracellular compartments such as the nucleus represent a challenging goal. Further, therapeutic nucleic acid cargo must be kept safe from degradation, and must express in the nucleus in quantities that are neither too limited or too much. Thus, there is a need for compositions that can reliably deliver molecule such as therapeutic nucleic acids to the nucleus of a target cell without degradation, and with the ability to optimize expression. The present disclosure addresses this need and others.

[0065] DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0066] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art. Although methods and materials similar or equivalent to those described herein can be used in the practice or testing, suitable methods and materials are described herein. In the case of conflict, the present specification, including definitions, will control. In addition, the materials, methods, and examples are illustrative only and are not intended to be limiting. Other features and advantages of the embodiments provided for herein will be apparent from the present detailed description and claims.
[0067] The techniques and procedures for recombinant manipulations, including nucleic acid and peptide synthesis, are generally performed according to conventional methods in the art and various general references (e.g., Sambrook et al, 2001, Molecular Cloning, A Laboratory Approach, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y.; Ausubel et al., eds, 2005, Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, John Wiley & Sons, New York, N.Y.; and Gerhardt et al., eds., 1994, Methods for General and Molecular Bacteriology, American Society for Microbiology, Washington, D.C.), which are provided throughout this document.
[0068] The term “about” or “approximately” means plus or minus 10% of the numerical value of the number with which it is being used. Therefore, about 50% means in the range of 45%-55%.
[0069] The singular forms “a”, “an”, and “the” include plural reference unless the context clearly dictates otherwise.
[0070] The terms “comprise,” “have,” and “include” and their conjugates, as used herein, mean “including but not limited to.” While various compositions, methods, and devices are described in terms of “comprising” various components or steps (interpreted as meaning “including, but not limited to”), the compositions, methods, and devices can also “consist essentially of’ or “consist of’ the various components and steps.
[0071] The term “antibody,” as used herein, refers to an immunoglobulin molecule which can specifically bind to a specific epitope on an antigen. Antibodies can be intact immunoglobulins derived from natural sources or from recombinant sources and can be immunoreactive portions of intact immunoglobulins. The antibodies useful in the present invention may exist in a variety of forms including, for example, polyclonal antibodies, monoclonal antibodies, intracellular antibodies (“intrabodies”), Fv, Fab and F(ab)2, as well as single chain antibodies (scFv), camelid antibodies and humanized antibodies (Harlow et al., 1999, Using Antibodies: A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, NY; Harlow et al., 1989, Antibodies: A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y.; Houston et al., 1988, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 85:5879-5883; Bird et al., 1988, Science 242:423-426).
[0072] “Complementary” as used herein refers to the broad concept of subunit sequence complementarity between two nucleic acids, e.g., two DNA molecules. When a nucleotide position in both of the molecules is occupied by nucleotides normally capable of base pairing with each other, then the nucleic acids are considered to be complementary to each other at this position. Thus, two nucleic acids are substantially complementary to each other when at least about 50%, preferably at least about 60% and more preferably at least about 80% of corresponding positions in each of the molecules are occupied by nucleotides which normally base pair with each other (e.g., A:T and G:C nucleotide pairs).
[0073] As used herein, a “DNA-based carrier” refers to a delivery system that comprises a deoxyribonucleic acid molecule. A non-limiting example of a DNA-based carrier is a DNA dendrimer. Other DNA-based carriers include double- stranded DNA, single-stranded DNA, and single-stranded hairpin DNA, or multimers thereof.
[0074] As used herein, a “DNA dendrimer” or “dendrimer” refers to a matrix of polynucleotides, exhibiting branching, formed by the sequential or generational addition of branched layers to or from a core molecule, such as an initiating monomer.
[0075] As used herein, an “initiating monomer” is a polynucleotide compound that serves to nucleate the formation of a dendrimer.
[0076] As used herein, an “extending monomer” is a polynucleotide compound that can bind to the initiating monomer and / or to each other during assembly of a dendrimer. Extending monomers form the layers of the dendrimer. The first layer of a dendrimer is the layer of extending monomers closest to the initiating monomer. The outer layer is the layer furthest from the initiating monomer and forming the surface of the dendrimer. Extending monomers are also referred to in the art as matrix monomers, matrix extending monomers and matrix polynucleotide monomers.
[0077] The terms “substituting,” “substituted,” “mutating,” or “mutated” as used herein refer to altering, deleting, or inserting one or more amino acids or nucleotides in a polypeptide or polynucleotide sequence to generate a variant of that sequence. The terms “polynucleotide” or “nucleic acid molecule” means a molecule comprising a chain of nucleotides covalently linked by a sugar-phosphate backbone or other equivalent covalent chemistry. Double and single- stranded DNAs and RNAs are non-limiting examples of polynucleotides.
[0078] The term “polypeptide” or “protein” means a molecule that comprises at least two amino acid residues linked by a peptide bond to form a polypeptide. In some embodiments, the term “peptide” can also be used.
[0079] The term “variant” as used herein refers to a polypeptide or polynucleotide that differs from a reference polypeptide or a reference polynucleotide by one or more modifications, including substitutions, insertions, or deletions.
[0080] Conventional notation is used herein to describe polynucleotide sequences: the lefthand end of a single-stranded polynucleotide sequence is the 5 '-end; the left-hand direction of a double-stranded polynucleotide sequence is referred to as the 5 '-direction.
[0081] As used herein, the term “promoter / regulatory sequence” means a nucleic acid sequence which controls or facilitates the expression of a gene product operably linked to the promoter / regulator sequence. In some instances, this sequence may be the core promoter sequence and in other instances, this sequence may also include an enhancer sequence and other regulatory elements which control or facilitate the expression of the gene product. The promoter / regulatory sequence may, for example, be one which expresses the gene product in an inducible manner. An “inducible” promoter is a nucleotide sequence which, when operably linked with a polynucleotide that encodes or specifies a gene product, causes the gene product to be produced substantially only when an inducer which corresponds (e.g., binds) to the promoter is present.
[0082] As used herein, a “targeting moiety” refers to a molecule that binds to a molecule present on the cell surface of a target cell.
[0083] As used herein, a “targeted DNA-based carrier” and “a DNA-based carrier comprising a targeting moiety” refers to a composition comprising a DNA-based carrier and a targeting moiety. The targeting moiety may be linked directly, or by means of a linker, to the DNA- based carrier. Alternatively, the targeting moiety may be linked to another molecule, such as a cargo molecule or a secondary, non-nucleic acid carrier in the composition. The DNA- based carrier is targeted by virtue of being present in the same composition with the targeted cargo or targeted secondary carrier.
[0084] The term “vector” as used herein refers to a nucleic acid which can infect, transfect, transiently or permanently transduce a cell. It will be recognized that a vector can be a naked nucleic acid, or a nucleic acid complexed with protein or lipid. Vectors include, but are not limited to, replicons (such as RNA replicons, bacteriophages) to which fragments of DNA may be attached and become replicated. Vectors thus include, but are not limited to RNA, autonomous self-replicating circular or linear DNA or RNA (i.e., “plasmids”), and include both the expression and non-expression plasmids. Where a recombinant microorganism or cell culture is described as hosting an “expression vector” this includes both extra- chromosomal circular and linear DNA and DNA that has been incorporated into the host chromosome(s). Where a vector is being maintained by a host cell, the vector may either be stably replicated by the cells during mitosis as an autonomous structure or is incorporated within the host’s genome.
[0085] “Promoter” as used herein means a synthetic or naturally-derived molecule which is capable of conferring, activating or enhancing expression of a nucleic acid in a cell. A promoter can comprise one or more specific transcriptional regulatory sequences to further enhance expression and / or to alter the spatial expression and / or temporal expression of same. A promoter can also comprise distal enhancer or repressor elements, which can be located as much as several thousand base pairs from the start site of transcription. Such promoterenhancers can modify, for example, but not limited to, tissue specificity or transduction efficiency. A promoter can be derived from sources including viral, bacterial, fungal, plants, insects, and animals. A promoter can regulate the expression of a gene component constitutively, or differentially with respect to cell, the tissue or organ in which expression occurs or, with respect to the developmental stage at which expression occurs, or in response to external stimuli such as physiological stresses, pathogens, metal ions, or inducing agents.
[0086] The term “topology” as used herein refers to different structural arrangement of any vector, plasmid, or polynucleotide disclosed herein. For example, polynucleotides can have a circular topology, such as a plasmid, where the polynucleotide has no 5’ or 3’ end. Polynucleotides disclosure herein can also have linear topologies, where the polynucleotide has a 5’ and 3’ end. Polynucleotides with a liner topology may have one or both ends of the polynucleotide covalently closed. In some embodiments, certain restriction enzymes can covalently close a DNA end, for example, TelN Protelomerase.
[0087] Compositions
[0088] A. DNA-Based Carriers In some embodiments, compositions disclosed herein comprise a DNA-based carrier. DNA-based carriers include, but are not limited to, DNA dendrimers, double- stranded linear DNA, single- stranded linear DNA, and single- stranded hairpin DNA, formulated either as monomolecular structures or including several units of the conformation cross-linked together (e.g., multimers). In some embodiments, the composition comprises a DNA dendrimer. DNA dendrimers are spheroid particles (diameter typically about 130 to about 150 nm, although they can be designed to be other sizes) of flexible branches formed by inter-hybridized DNA monomers. Each DNA monomer is composed of two polynucleotide strands that share a central region of complementary sequences where the two strands hybridize to each other forming a double-stranded region, leaving 4 terminal single-stranded polynucleotide portions. These terminal sequences are complementary among themselves; hence, they can hybridize (in layers) to terminal sequences of other DNA monomers.

[0105] In some embodiments, the oligonucleotides may comprise one or two hinge segments joining any of the single-stranded arms to the double-stranded region. Each hinge segment may be from 1 to 4 nucleotides in length, from 2 to 4 nucleotides in length, 1 nucleotide in length, 2 nucleotides in length, 3 nucleotides in length, or 4 nucleotides in length. In some embodiments, the nucleotide sequence of the hinge segment 5' to the double-stranded region is CA, and the nucleotide sequence of the hinge segment 3' to the double-stranded region is AC. It is to be understood that the hinge segments are separate from the double- stranded portion and the single- stranded arm. For example, a first oligonucleotide may comprise a first single stranded arm of 50 bases in length, a complementary portion of 35 bases in length, and a second single stranded arm of 50 bases in length, thus comprising a first oligonucleotide of 135 bases in length. Alternatively, the first oligonucleotide may comprise a first single stranded arm of 50 bases in length, a first hinge segment of 4 bases in length, a complementary portion of 35 bases in length, a second hinge segment of 4 bases in length, and a second single stranded arm of 50 bases in length, thus comprising a first oligonucleotide of 143 bases in length. These examples are exemplary only to demonstrate how the length of the oligonucleotide may be determined and are not meant to be construed as limiting in any way. Each of the single- stranded arms has a nucleic acid sequence that can be the same as or different from any other single-stranded arm. In some embodiments, the nucleotide sequence of each of the four single- stranded arms is identical. In some embodiments, the nucleotide sequences of three of the four single-stranded arms are identical to each other and different than the nucleotide sequence of the fourth single- stranded arm. In some embodiments, the nucleotide sequences of two of the four single-stranded arms are identical to each other and different than the nucleotide sequences of the other two single-stranded arms. In some embodiments, the nucleotide sequences of two of the four single-stranded arms are identical to each other and the nucleotide sequences of the other two of the four singlestranded arms are identical to each other, wherein the nucleotide sequence of the first two single- stranded arms is different than the nucleotide sequences of the second two singlestranded arms. In some embodiments, the nucleotide sequence of each of the four singlestranded arms is different. Thus, the nucleotide sequence of any particular single- stranded arm provides flexibility in design choice and can be used to specifically bind to or be conjugated to a particular linking oligonucleotide (which may or may not be further conjugated to a targeting agent or a cargo molecule as provided for herein) or to another single- stranded arm of another monomeric nucleic acid carrier. In some embodiments, one or more of the single stranded arms is complementary to a linking oligonucleotide that is conjugated to a targeting agent. In some embodiments, one or more of the single stranded arms is complementary to a DNA dendrimer binding sequence (DBS) as provided for herein. In some embodiments, one or more of the single stranded arms is complementary to a linking oligonucleotide that is conjugated to a targeting agent and one or more of the single stranded arms is complementary to a DNA dendrimer binding sequence (DBS) as provided for herein. Any two nucleic sequences having a degree of complementarity may be used to attach a single stranded arm of the DNA dendrimer to a linking oligonucleotide or a DBS, wherein the two nucleic acid strands comprise the DBS and the corresponding single stranded arm. The skilled artisan would readily recognize which nucleic acid base pairs are complementary and which are not and thus be able to envisage two nucleic acid sequences having a desired degree of complementarity. In some embodiments, the two nucleic acid sequences (e.g. the single stranded arm and the linking oligonucleotide or the single stranded arm and the DBS) comprise sequences which are 30% to 100% complementary, from 35% to 100% complementary, from 40% to 100% complementary, from 45% to 100% complementary, from 50% to 100% complementary, from 55% to 100% complementary, from 60% to 100% complementary, from 65% to 100% complementary, from 70% to 100% complementary, from 75% to 100% complementary, from 80% to 100% complementary, from 85% to 100% complementary, from 90% to 100% complementary, from 95% to 100% complementary, or any value or range in-between. In some embodiments, the two nucleic acid sequences (e.g. the single stranded arm and the linking oligonucleotide or the single stranded arm and the DBS) comprise sequences which are 30% to 95% complementary, from 30% to 90% complementary, from 30% to 85% complementary, from 30% to 80% complementary, from 30% to 75% complementary, from 30% to 70% complementary, from 30% to 65% complementary, from 30% to 60% complementary, from 30% to 55% complementary, from 30% to 50% complementary, from 30% to 45% complementary, from 30% to 40% complementary, from 30% to 35% complementary, or any value or range in-between.

[0107] DNA dendrimers are commercially available. In addition, the structural design and assembly of DNA dendrimers is generally known in the art. See, for instance, U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,175,270 and 6,274,723, each of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties. An initiating monomer constitutes the approximate center of a dendrimer, depending on the type of branching in the dendrimer. The three-dimensional assembly of extending monomers around the initiating monomer forms the interior volume of the dendrimer. The last, outer layer of extending monomers forms the surface of the dendrimer. Thus, the assembly of a dendrimer results in a three-dimensional shape, typically, but not exclusively, a roughly spherical shape comprising layers of extending monomers. The outer layer comprises numerous binding sites.
[0108] More specifically, DNA dendrimers may be prepared by protocols having the following features, (i) The starting material is a double-stranded duplex of DNA (i.e. the double-stranded region) with 5' and 3' single-stranded overhangs, or “binding arms,” attached to the duplex trunk (e.g., four binding arms total), called the “initiating monomer,” which is descriptive of its role in the assembly of a dendrimer. Each initiating monomer's 5' and 3' binding arms are annealed to complementary binding arms on “extending monomers” that have similar composition and morphology, (ii) A subset of the four binding arms on each extending monomer is complementary to the binding arms on the initiating monomer. The non-complementary binding arms of the extending monomers are inactive for annealing to the initiating monomer. Typically, four extending monomers can anneal to the initiating monomer to yield a single-layer, or one-layer, dendrimer in solution, (iii) To add another layer of extending monomers to dendrimers, one typically adds similar but distinguishable extending monomers, in which each monomer has a subset of its four binding arms that is complementary to binding arms on the dendrimer. Thus, a one-layer dendrimer can be converted to a two-layer dendrimer, and so on, stepwise, until a desired size of dendrimer is reached. The table below provides details of the structural elements of varying dendrimer preparations. These are exemplary only and are not meant to be limiting in any way.
[0109] After assembly, a DNA dendrimer can be crosslinked to maintain and stabilize the structure of the dendrimer. Crosslinking hybridized regions between monomers (i.e., intermonomer crosslinking) or between monomers and the nucleic acids that carry detectable labels, as well as between trunk portions (intra-monomer crosslinking), can stabilize the structure of the polynucleotide dendrimer. Similarly, any hybridized region of any DNA- based carrier may be crosslinked to stabilize the carrier. Individual units of carrier may also be crosslinked into a polymolecular carrier. Such crosslinking chemistries are well known in the art. See, e.g., Cimino et al., Annu. Rev. Biochem. 54: 1151-1193 (1985); Shi et al., Biochemistry 25:5895-5902 (1986); and Cimino et al., Biochemistry 25:3013-3020 (1986). See also U.S. Pat. No. 4,196,281. Non-limiting examples of suitable crosslinking agents include: psoralens (including but not limited to 8-methoxypsoralen and angelicin), mitomycin C, daunomycin, ethidium diazide, cisplatin, transplatin, carboplatin, 8-methoxypsoralen, mechlorethamine, oxaliplatin, and carbodiimide compounds, among others.
[0110] The polynucleotide strands used in the monomers of dendrimers or in the other DNA- based carriers, can be made using standard techniques for synthesis of nucleic acids. These techniques can be biological or chemical. The techniques and procedures are generally performed according to conventional methods in the art and in various general references (e.g., Sambrook et al., 2001, supra; Ausubel et al., eds., 2005, supra, and Gerhardt et al., eds., 1994, Methods for General and Molecular Bacteriology, American Society for Microbiology, Washington, D.C.).
[0111] In some embodiments, polynucleotides are chemically synthesized using methods known in the art. See, e.g., Gait, 1985, Oligonucleotide Synthesis: A Practical Approach (IRL Press, Oxford, England. In another embodiment, polynucleotides are synthesized enzymatically using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). One PCR method suitable for generating single- stranded polynucleotides is multi-cycle PCR using a single primer, which thereby amplifies a single strand. Nucleic acids may be purified by any suitable means, as are well known in the art, prior to their use. For example, the nucleic acids can be purified by reverse phase or ion exchange HPLC, size exclusion chromatography or gel electrophoresis. The skilled artisan will recognize that the method of purification will depend in part on the size of the nucleic acid to be purified.
[0112] The outer layer of a DNA dendrimer can have at least two types of binding arms. These binding arms can be used for attaching one or more types of moieties. In some embodiments, the DNA dendrimer of the compositions can bind or attach to targeting moieties, cargoes, support molecules, and the like.
[0113] In some embodiments, the DNA-based carrier is associated with a secondary carrier, which may serve as a scaffold for the DNA-based carriers. Examples of such secondary carriers include, but are not limited to, liposomes, non-DNA dendrimers, polymer carriers, microbubbles, paramagnetic and ferromagnetic particles, self-assembled polymers, polymersomes, filomicelles, albumin particles, lipoproteins, and the like. A self- assembled polymer is one that is formed by self-assembly of monomolecular building blocks. These building blocks can be amphiphilic copolymers, which comprise a hydrophilic component (such as, but not limited to, polyethylenimine or polyethyleneglycol) and a hydrophobic component (such a, but not limited to, aliphatic polyesters) into a core-shell-type structure. These structures that are not maintained by direct conjugation or crosslink of the building blocks are known to as micelles and can vary in their morphology, for instance from spherical micelles (“polymersomes”) to elongated or filamentous rods (“filomicelles”). The sizes of these structures may also vary from the nanometer to the micrometer size range. Once formed by self-assembly, these structures may alternatively be further crosslinked chemically to increase their stability. Hydrophobic cargoes can be embedded into the hydrophobic regions of the carrier, while hydrophilic cargoes can be incorporated into an internal aqueous core or to the external hydrophilic corona.
[0114] In some embodiments, the DNA-based carrier is linked to the surface of the secondary carrier. In some embodiments, the DNA-based carrier is not linked but is associated with the secondary carrier by virtue of being in the same composition. In some embodiments, the cargos and targeting moieties can be linked to the DNA-based carrier, or to the scaffold carrier, using methods described herein and known in the art.
[0115] B. Targeting Moieties
[0116] In some embodiments, the DNA-based carrier is directed to a specific cell by linking a targeting moiety to the carrier, to a secondary carrier and / or a cargo. In some embodiments, the targeting moiety is linked to the DNA-based carrier. In some embodiments, the targeting moiety is linked to a secondary carrier. A targeting moiety may be an antibody, a naturally- occurring ligand for the receptor or a functional derivative thereof, a vitamin, a hormone, a small molecule mimetic of a naturally-occurring ligand, a peptide, a polypeptide, a peptidomimetic, a carbohydrate, a lipid, a FN3 domain, an aptamer, a nucleic acid, a toxin, a component of a microorganism, or any other molecule provided it binds specifically to the cell surface molecule and induces endocytosis of the bound moiety.
[0117] Without being bound to any particular theory, the targeting moiety can bind specifically to a molecule on the cell surface of a target cell. The targeting moiety can be bind to a cell surface molecule, which can, in some embodiments, induce endocytosis of the DNA- based carrier. Non-limiting examples of cell surface molecule that may be targeted include cell surface proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids. Cell surface molecules that may be targeted include molecules associated with classical endocytosis and those associated with non- classical endocytosis. In some embodiments, the target cell surface molecule is a cell adhesion molecule (CAM). Cell adhesion molecules useful in the invention include, but are not limited to, neural specific adhesion molecules (e.g., NCAM) and systemic intercellular adhesion molecules. Systemic CAMs include intercellular adhesion molecules (e.g., ICAM-1, ICAM-2, ICAM-3), platelet-endothelial cell adhesion molecule (PECAM), activated leukocyte cell adhesion molecule (ALCAM), B-lymphocyte cell adhesion molecule (BL-CAM), vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM), mucosal vascular addressin cell adhesion molecule (MAdCAM), CD44, LFA-2 (CD2), LFA-3 (CD58), basigin (CD147) and the like. In some embodiments, the cell surface molecule is CD71.
[0118] In some embodiments, the targeting moiety is an antibody that specifically binds to a target cell surface molecule. In some embodiments, the antibody is selected from the group consisting of a polyclonal antibody, a monoclonal antibody, a humanized antibody, a synthetic antibody, a heavy chain antibody, and a biologically active fragment of an antibody, wherein the biologically active fragment is a Fab fragment, a F(ab')2 fragment, an sc-Fv fragment.
[0119] When the antibody used as a targeting moiety in the compositions and methods of the invention is a polyclonal antibody (IgG), the antibody is generated by inoculating a suitable animal with the targeted cell surface molecule. Antibodies produced in the inoculated animal which specifically bind to the cell surface molecule are then isolated from fluid obtained from the animal. Antibodies may be generated in this manner in several non-human mammals such as, but not limited to goat, sheep, horse, camel, rabbit, and donkey. Methods for generating polyclonal antibodies are well known in the art and are described, for example in Harlow, et al. (1988, In: Antibodies, A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y.).
[0120] Monoclonal antibodies directed against a full-length targeted cell surface molecule or fragments thereof may be prepared using any well-known monoclonal antibody preparation procedures, such as those described, for example, in Harlow et al. (1988, In: Antibodies, A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y.) and in Tuszynski et al. (1988, Blood, 72:109- 115). Human monoclonal antibodies may be prepared by the method described in U.S. patent publication 2003 / 0224490. Monoclonal antibodies directed against an antigen are generated from mice immunized with the antigen using standard procedures as referenced herein. Nucleic acid encoding the monoclonal antibody obtained using the procedures described herein may be cloned and sequenced using technology available in the art, and is described, for example, in Wright et al. (1992, Critical Rev. in Immunol. 12(3,4): 125-168) and the references cited therein. To prepare a targeted DNA-based carrier, such as a DNA dendrimer, the targeting moiety can be linked to the DNA-based carrier, or a secondary carrier or a cargo that is linked to, or associated with, a composition comprising the DNA-based carrier. A single targeting moiety may be linked to the DNA-based carrier or secondary carrier. Alternatively, a plurality of (e.g., two or more) targeting moieties are linked to the DNA-based carrier, secondary carrier or cargo. When a plurality of targeting moieties are linked to a carrier or cargo, the moieties may target the same cell surface molecule or may target different cell surface molecules. If targeting different cell surface molecules, these molecules may be associated with the same endocytic pathway or different endocytic pathways. The targeting moiety may also not be associated with an endocytic pathway. If targeting different cell surface molecules, the cell surface molecules may be present on the same cell type or may be present on different cell types.
[0121] Linking may be non-covalent or covalent. A targeting moiety may be linked directly to one or more of the polynucleotide strands comprising the DNA-based carrier. Alternatively, a targeting moiety is linked to a linker molecule which is in turn linked to the DNA-based carrier. In some embodiments, wherein the DNA-based carrier is a DNA dendrimer, the linker molecule is an oligonucleotide comprising a sequence substantially complementary to a sequence present in one of the binding arms on the surface of the DNA dendrimer. Thus, the targeting moiety is linked indirectly and non-covalently to the DNA dendrimer by hybridization of the oligonucleotide to a binding arm. This approach is also applicable to other DNA-based carriers. Optionally, the hybridized oligonucleotide is also cross-linked to the DNA dendrimer. Cross-linking chemistries are disclosed elsewhere herein. When not cross-linked, hybridization between the DNA dendrimer and an oligonucleotide linked to a targeting moiety should be sufficiently long-lived under the conditions of use. Determination of binding free energies for nucleic acid molecules is well known in the art (see, e.g., Turner et al., 1987, CSH Symp. Quant. Biol. LII pp. 123-133; Freier et al., 1986, Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. USA 83:9373-9377; Turner et al., 1987, J. Am. Chern. Soc. 109:3783- 3785; Chavali et al., 2005, Bioinformatics 21(20):3918-3925).
[0122] In some embodiments, the linker is a secondary IgG Fc-specific antibody which is linked to the DNA-based carrier. In some embodiments, the antibody specifically binds to the Fc portion of the primary IgG antibody, e.g., the targeting moiety or an intervening antibody. The secondary antibody is preferably specific for the species source of the primary antibody. For instance, if the targeting moiety is a human IgG antibody, the secondary antibody is antihuman IgG. In another aspect, the secondary antibody recognizes epitopes of the entire primary antibody, not just the Fc portion. Alternatively, the linker is an Fc gamma receptor that binds specifically to the Fc portion of an IgG antibody. In any of these, the carrier may be readily linked to any targeting moiety that is an IgG antibody.
[0123] Non-covalent linkages include, but are not limited to, affinity binding pairs, such as biotin-streptavidin and immunoaffinity, having sufficiently high affinity to maintain the linkage during use and are well-known in the art. The art is also replete with conjugation chemistries useful for covalently linking a target moiety to a DNA-based carrier, secondary carrier or cargo, directly or via a linker. Art-recognized covalent coupling techniques are disclosed, for instance, in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,416,016, 6,335,435, 6,528,631, 6,861,514 and 6,919,439, incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. Other conjugation chemistries are disclosed in U.S. Patent Publication No. 20040249178, incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

Chem. 65:4900-4908): disulfide bridge conjugates (Oehlke et al., 2002, Eur J.

[0124] C. Cargos
[0125] The compositions provided herein can also comprise a cargo. In some embodiments, the cargo is attached directly or indirectly to a DNA dendrimer. A cargo that is attached to the DNA dendrimer is associated with the DNA dendrimer via a linker or other type of molecule (adaptor), and the like. One, two, or more different cargoes may be delivered by a targeted DNA-based carrier. Cargoes that can be delivered in accordance the compositions disclosed herein include, but are not limited to, a variety of agents, including, but not limited to, therapeutic agents, imaging agents, monitoring agents, chemotherapeutic agents, anti- oncogenic agents, anti- angiogenic agents, tumor suppressor agents, anti-microbial agents, enzyme replacement agents, gene expression modulating agents and expression constructs comprising a nucleic acid encoding a therapeutic protein or nucleic acid. In some embodiments, cargo may be an exogenous material or an endogenous material. Cargoes include any molecule that induces an effect in a cell, including any protein, nucleic acid, small molecule, carbohydrate, or lipid. Cargoes may be peptides, proteins (including enzymes, antibodies and peptidic hormones), ligands of cytoskeleton, nucleic acid, small molecules, non-peptidic hormones and the like. Nucleic acids and cargo polynucleotides that may be delivered by the method of the invention include synthetic and natural nucleic acid material, including DNA, RNA, transposon DNA, antisense nucleic acids, dsRNA, siRNAs, transcription RNA, messenger RNA, ribosomal RNA, small nucleolar RNA, microRNA, ribozymes, plasmids, and expression constructs. When the cargo is or comprises a nucleic acid, the nucleic acid may be a separate entity from the DNA-based carrier. In these embodiments, the DNA-based carrier is not itself the cargo.
[0126] In some embodiments, the cargo is a polynucleotide comprising at least one promoter and at least one coding sequence that encodes for at least one molecule of interest. For example, the cargo polynucleotide may comprise one promoter and two or more coding sequences that encode for different molecules of interest, or one promoter for each coding sequence present. In some embodiments, the promoter or promoters are tissue specific promoters that transcript or translate the at least one molecule of interest only when the composition comprising the cargo polynucleotide is present within a target cell that matches the tissue specific promoter. Tissue specific promoters are known in the art and any such tissue specific promoter is within the scope of the present disclosure.
[0127] In some embodiments, the molecule of interest is a gene product, such as an enzyme, protein, receptor, and the like. In some embodiments, the cargo polynucleotide encodes two or more molecules of interest. In some embodiments, at least one of the molecules of interest is a detectable molecule, such as, but not limited to, proteins are tagged, detectable via bioluminescence, fluorescence, radiation signals, or some combination thereof. In some embodiments, such molecules of interest are useful for biodistribution studies and other quantitative and / or real-time assessments.
[0128] In some embodiments, the cargo polynucleotide may have one or more structures or topologies. For example, the cargo polynucleotide may exist as a fully circular, double stranded DNA or RNA with no free 5’ or 3’ ends. In some embodiments, the cargo polynucleotide is a plasmid. In some embodiments, the cargo polynucleotide can be a nicked circular polynucleotide, a linear polynucleotide with a closed 5’ and 3’ end, a linear polynucleotide with open 5’ and 3’ ends, and a linear polynucleotide with one open and one closed end. In some embodiments, a nicked circular polynucleotide is a fully circular, double stranded DNA or RNA that has at least one break in a single strand of the DNA or RNA. As used herein, a nicked circular polynucleotide is understood to be a circular polynucleotide that has a 1-100 base gap as compared to the un- nicked polynucleotide. In some embodiments, the nick results in a 1-100 base gap, a 2-100 base gap, a 3-100 base gap, a 4- 100 base gap, a 5-100 base gap, a 6-100 base gap, a 7-100 base gap, an 8-100 base gap, a 9- 100 base gap, a 10-100 base gap, a 15-100 base gap, a 20-100 base gap, a 25-100 base gap, a 30-100 base gap, a 35-100 base gap, a 40-100 base gap, a 45-100 base gap, a 50-100 base gap, a 60-100 base gap, a 70-100 base gap, an 80-100 base gap, a 90-100 base gap, or a base gap having any value or range in-between. In some embodiments, the nick results in a 1-90 base gap, a 1-80 base gap, a 1-70 base gap, a 1-60 base gap, a 1-50 base gap, a 1-45 base gap, a 1-40 base gap, a 1-35 base gap, a 1-30 base gap, a 1-25 base gap, a 1-20 base gap, a 1-15 base gap, a 1-10 base gap, a 1-9 base gap, a 1-8 base gap, a 1-7 base gap, a 1-6 base gap, a 1- 5 base gap, a 1-4 base gap, a 1-3 base gap, a 1-2 base gap, or any value or range in-between. In some embodiments, the nick can be due to the action of a nicking restriction enzyme. In some embodiments, a linear polynucleotide has defined 5’ and 3’ ends, with either end, or both, being optionally closed via a covalent bond.
[0129] The different topologies or structures can be used for different attachments to the DNA dendrimer.
[0130] Provided herein is a plasmid comprising a plasmid backbone comprising at least two restriction sites, at least one promoter, and at least one coding sequence encoding for at least one molecule of interest, wherein the plasmid can form a cargo polynucleotide with various topologies, such as those provided for herein. For example, a gene cassette comprising a promoter sequence and a coding sequence encoding for at least one molecule of interest can be inserted into the plasmid backbone. The resulting plasmid can have a fully circular topology, and if such a topology is desired, no further steps are required. However, if a different topology is desired, the plasmid can be contacted with one or more restriction enzymes to break one or both nucleotide strands of the plasmid and create a nicked circular polynucleotide, a linear polynucleotide with a closed 5’ and 3’ end, a linear polynucleotide with open 5’ and 3’ ends, or a linear polynucleotide with one open and one closed end. In some embodiments, closed ends on liner polynucleotides are formed using TelN Protelomerase.
[0131] In some embodiments, a cargo polynucleotide is transported to a nucleus of a cell. In some embodiments, a cargo polynucleotide comprises one or more of a DNA targeting sequence (DTS) or a nuclear localization signal (NLS). DTS and NLS are, independently, short amino acid sequences that target proteins and associated nucleic acids for import into the nucleus. In a non- limiting example, an NLS that can be encoded by the cargo polynucleotide has the amino acid sequence having at least 50%, at least 55%, at least 60%, at least 65%, at least 70%, at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 91%, at least 92%, at least 93%, at least 94%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, or at least 99% sequence identity to YPDEVKRKKKP (SEQ ID NO: 1), SLLESPFDKPDEVKRKKKPPTSHQSDATAEDDSSSKKK (SEQ ID NO: 2), PKKKRKV (SEQ ID NO: 15), or KKPNKKKRKE (SEQ ID NO: 46). These are non-limiting examples of NLS sequences and any NLS can be used. In some embodiments, the NLS comprises an amino acid sequence having at least 50%, at least 55%, at least 60%, at least 65%, at least 70%, at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 91%, at least 92%, at least 93%, at least 94%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, or at least 99% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 1. In some embodiments, the NLS comprises an amino acid sequence having at least 50%, at least 55%, at least 60%, at least 65%, at least 70%, at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 91%, at least 92%, at least 93%, at least 94%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, or at least 99% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 2. In some embodiments, the NLS comprises an amino acid sequence having at least 50%, at least 55%, at least 60%, at least 65%, at least 70%, at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 91%, at least 92%, at least 93%, at least 94%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, or at least 99% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 15. In some embodiments, the NLS comprises an amino acid sequence having at least 50%, at least 55%, at least 60%, at least 65%, at least 70%, at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 91%, at least 92%, at least 93%, at least 94%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%>, at least 98%), or at least 99% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 46. In some embodiments, the NLS comprises an amino acid sequence of any one of SEQ ID NO: 1, 2, 15, or 46. In some embodiments, the NLS comprises an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1. In some embodiments, the NLS comprises an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2. In some embodiments, the NLS comprises an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 15. In some embodiments, the NLS comprises an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 46. In some embodiments, at least one DTS, at least one NLS, or both can be located anywhere within or in respect to the cargo polynucleotide. For example, the DTS, NLS, or both can be located upstream or downstream of the at least one promoter of the cargo polynucleotide. In such a molecule, the polypeptide is linked to the cargo polynucleotide.
[0132] In some embodiments, one or more DTS or NLS sequences can be attached or linked to the cargo polynucleotide, instead of being located within the cargo polynucleotide. In some embodiments, the one or more DTS or NLS sequences can be included in any adaptor molecule described herein, wherein the adaptor molecule is linked to the cargo polynucleotide. In some embodiments, the one or more DTS or NLS sequences can be linked directly to the cargo polynucleotide without being associated with a corresponding adaptor molecule. In some embodiments, the DTS or NLS sequence can be attached to a cargo polynucleotide via a modified nucleotide. For example, a DTS or NLS sequence can be attached to a nicked circular cargo polynucleotide at the nick site, optionally where a modified nucleotide has been first inserted at the nick site.
[0133] In some embodiments, the cargo, including cargo polynucleotides described herein, can be linked to a DNA dendrimer directly by any covalent or non-covalent interaction or bond described herein, such as a hydrogen bond. Thus, in some embodiments, the cargo polynucleotide comprises a DNA dendrimer binding sequence (DBS), which links the cargo polynucleotide to the DNA dendrimer. In some embodiments, the DBS comprises a nucleic acid sequence that is complimentary to a nucleic acid sequence on the DNA dendrimer. In a non-limiting example, the DBS comprises a nucleic acid sequence that is complimentary to at least one binding arm of the DNA dendrimer. In some embodiments, the DBS binds to the DNA dendrimer via hydrogen bonding.
[0134] In some embodiments, the DBS comprises a nucleic acid sequence selected from any one of: TAGAGGTAACAACTAGCGTACAA (SEQ ID NO: 3);

[0162] E. Support Molecules
[0163] The compositions herein may also comprise one or more support molecules. Support molecules as provided for herein can be used for a range of tasks, including, but not limited to, protecting DNA dendrimers and cargo polynucleotides from nuclease degradation, enhancing transfection efficiency, assisting in nuclear delivery, and condensing the size of the DNA dendrimer, cargo polynucleotide, or both. Support molecules can be covalently or non- covalently linked to the DNA dendrimer in the same or similar manner as the targeting moieties and cargos. However, in some embodiments, one or more support molecules are not linked to the DNA dendrimer and can associate with the composition through other means.
[0164] Without wishing to be bound by theory, because many polynucleotide structures have a negatively changed amine backbone, a support molecule with a sufficient positive charge can associate with the composition through charge attraction. Thus, in some embodiments, the one or more support molecules associate with the composition through charge attraction. In some embodiments, the one or more support molecules have a net-positive charge that is high enough to allow for the one or more support molecules to interact with and, optionally, compact the negatively charged DNA dendrimer. In some embodiments, the one or more support molecules have a net-positive charge that is low enough to avoid aggregation or other cytotoxic side effects.
[0165] Additionally, such support molecules can also associate with cargo polynucleotides and DNA dendrimers simultaneously. Thus, in some embodiments, compositions provided for herein comprise a cargo polynucleotide, a support molecule, and a DNA dendrimer linked to a targeting moiety, wherein the cargo polynucleotide is not covalently linked to the DNA dendrimer. The support molecule can associate the cargo polynucleotide with the DNA dendrimer in this way regardless of the topology of the cargo polynucleotide. However, when the cargo polynucleotide has a full circular topology, without any nicks, sites, or regions for direct covalent linkage to a DNA dendrimer or an adaptor molecule, the one or more support molecule can associate the cargo polynucleotide and the DNA dendrimer together to form the composition.
[0166] Support molecules are provided for herein can be used individually, as repeats, or in combination either within one molecular entity or a complex mixture of individual molecular entities. In some embodiments, support molecules can be added to the composition prior to the association of the cargo, DNA dendrimer, and optionally, the adaptor molecule. In some embodiments, support molecules can be added to the composition after the association of the cargo, DNA dendrimer, and optionally, the adaptor molecule. In some embodiments, and without limitation, support molecules provided herein are stabilizers.
[0167] Without wishing to be bound by a particular theory, pore sizes vary from cell type to cell type and only permit materials of the same size to be taken up. To enable delivery to cells with smaller pore sizes, the particle must be reduced or compacted. In addition to size, particle size and particle protection can increase durability of the scaffold and payload. So far, a variety of stabilizer moieties have been developed and tested to both compact nanoparticles and shield them from degrading enzymes. Net-positive charge allows for the stabilizer to interact and compact the negatively charged nucleic acids through electrostatic interactions. This compaction allows for protection against nucleases since the stabilizer is now at the surface of the nanostructure which interacts with the in vivo environment. The charge must be enough to complex the nucleic acids but not high enough to cause aggregation or other cytotoxic side effects brought on due to positive charge. Thus, the stabilizer can be comprised of biocompatible peptides and / or polymers. The term “biocompatible”, as used herein, refers to a substance that has minimal toxicity in vitro / in vivo, is excretable and / or can degrade into processable units by the body. Thus, in some embodiments, the stabilizer comprises peptide portions that enhance cellular uptake and nuclear localization. CPPs sequences and NLS sequences are elements added into the stabilizer sequences if the initial base stabilizer (positively-charged compaction portion only) is successful at compacting the nucleic acids and protects against nucleases.
[0168] In some embodiments, a stabilizer is a support molecule. In some embodiments, a support molecule comprises biocompatible peptides, polymers, or both. Thus, in some embodiments, the support molecule is a peptide-based support molecule or a polymer-based support molecule. In some embodiments, a support molecule comprises a CPP sequence, a NLS sequence, or both. In some embodiments, the CPP sequence is any CPP sequence disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the NLS sequence is any NLS sequence disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the stabilizer is a peptide-based stabilizer. In some embodiments, the support molecule is a peptide-based support molecule.
