[0001] This application claims the benefit of and priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 63 / 519,958, filed on August 16, 2023, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.SEQUENCE LISTING

[0002] The present application is being along with a Sequence Listing in electronic format. The Sequence Listing file, entitled “14640 0094-00304 SL,” was created on June 18, 2024, and is 2,595.123 bytes in size. The information in the electronic format of the Sequence Listing is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety .FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE

[0003] Disclosed herein are compositions and methods relating to adeno-associated virus (AAV) viral particles for the delivery of polynucleotides, e.g.. modulatory polynucleotides, for reducing or eliminating expression of mutated dystrophia myotonica protein kinase (DMPK) mRNA and their use in the treatment of myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) and other disorders associated with or caused by mutated DMPK mRNA. In some embodiments, compositions disclosed herein may be used to treat a subject in need thereof, such as a human subject diagnosed with DM1 or another condition resulting from mutated DMPK mRNA expression.BACKGROUND

[0004] Dystrophia myotonica protein kinase (DMPK) (also referred to as myotonic dystrophy protein kinase) is an enzyme encoded by the DMPK gene (Ensembl Gene ID No. ENSG00000104936), which is found on chromosome 19. The DMPK gene is also known as DM15, DM1PK, DMK, MDPK, and MT- PK.

[0005] The DMPK protein is thought to be involved in cell communication and appears to play important roles in tissues such as heart, muscle, and brain.

[0006] Mutation(s) in DMPK cause myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1). DM1 is characterized by progressive muscle wasting and weakness. Muscle weakness is most often observed in distal muscles, and myotonia, cataracts, hypogonadism, frontal balding and electrocardiogram changes are also observed. There are an estimated 500,000 cases of DM1 worldwide.

[0007] DM1 is typically caused by trinucleotide repeat expansions in the DMPK gene. Trinucleotide repeat expansions occur in a repeated CTG segment in the 3’ UTR of DMPK. Non-diseased humans typically have 5-37 CTG repeats (SEQ ID NO: 6430). The number of CTG repeats determines the formof DM1 and the severity of disease. CTG repeats of the trinucleotide repeat expansion may be uninterrupted or may be interrupted with one or more other nucleotides.

[0008] Patients with 38-49 CTG repeats (SEQ ID NO: 6431) are typically asymptomatic.

[0009] Patients with 50-150 CTG repeats (SEQ ID NO: 6432) may manifest with mild DM1. Mild DM1 symptoms typically begin between the ages of 20 and 70 years. Mild DM1 is characterized by cataracts, myotonia, and mild muscle weakness, and patients have a normal life span.

[0010] Patients with 50 to 1000 CTG repeats (SEQ ID NO: 6433) may manifest with classic DM1. Classic DM1 symptoms typically begin in adulthood. Classic DM1 is characterized by muscle weakness and wasting, myotonia, cataracts, cardiac conduction abnormalities, and a myopathic face. Adults may be physically disabled and have a shortened lifespan.[Oil] Patients with CTG repeat lengths greater than 800 may manifest with childhood DM1. Symptoms of childhood DM1 typically begin around age 10. Childhood DM1 is characterized by learning difficulties and psychosocial problems (e.g., family problems, depression, anxiety), slurred speech, hand muscle myotonia, and heart conduction abnormalities.

[0012] Patients with CTG repeat lengths greater than 1000 may manifest with congenital DM1. Patients with congenital DM1 show symptoms before birth. Symptoms of congenital DM1 visible before birth include decreased fetal movement in the uterus, polyhydramnios, clubfoot, and ventriculomegaly. Congenital DM1 is characterized by hypotonia, and severe weakness at birth. Further symptoms of congenital DM1 include a tented appearance of the upper lip. dysarthria, intellectual disability, hypotonia, respiratory insufficiency, and early death.

[0013] In DM1 patients, the mutated DMPK gene produces an altered (mutated) mRNA. The altered mRNA is thought to trap proteins and forms foci within cells. Said foci interfere with protein production, which prevents proper cell function. Without being limited by theory', the foci may trap proteins that have a function in mRNA splicing, thereby disrupting proper (normal) mRNA splicing patterns. In muscle cells, this results in muscle weakness. DM1 particularly affects cardiac, smooth, and skeletal muscle.

[0014] There are no specific treatments for DM1, and some forms of DM1 such as congenital DM1 and childhood DM1 result in decreased lifespan. Existing treatments are directed to managing symptoms and maximizing patients’ quality of life and independence. Treatments directed to managing symptoms include anti-diabetic drugs, anti -myotonic drugs (e.g., mexiletine), and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Thus, there remains a long-felt need to develop pharmaceutical compositions and methods for the treatment of DM1. In particular, a need exists for treatments targeting cardiac, smooth, and skeletal muscle.SUMMARY

[0052] Disclosed herein, inter alia, arc compositions comprising an AAV capsid variant comprising a sequence encoding a modulatory polynucleotide for reducing or eliminating expression of mutated DMPK mRNA. In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides a method for delivering the AAV capsid variant comprising tire sequence encoding the modulatory polynucleotide for reducing or eliminating expression of mutated DMPK mRNA to a cell or tissue in a subject. In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides a method for treating myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) or another disorder associated with mutated DMPK mRNA expression (i.e., another DMPK-related disorder). In various embodiments, AAV capsid variants disclosed herein have enhanced tropism for a cell or tissue, for example a cell or tissue of the muscle, heart, and / or brain. In some embodiments, the AAV capsid variants described herein have enhanced tropism for a cell or tissue of the heart. In some embodiments, the AAV capsid variants described herein have enhanced tropism for a cell or tissue of muscle. In some embodiments, the AAV capsid variants described herein have enhanced tropism for a cell or tissue of cardiac muscle. In some embodiments, the AAV capsid variants described herein have enhanced tropism for a cell or tissue of skeletal muscle. In some embodiments, the AAV capsid variants described herein have enhanced tropism for a cell or tissue of smooth muscle. In some embodiments, the AAV capsid variants described herein have enhanced tropism for more than one tissue (e g., heart and brain).

[0053] AAVs have proven to be useful as a biological tool due to their relatively simple structure, their ability to infect a wide range of cells (including quiescent and dividing cells) without integration into the host genome and without replicating, and their relatively benign immunogenic profile. AAV- derived vectors are promising tools for clinical gene transfer because of their non-pathogenic nature, their low immunogenic profile, low rate of integration into the host genome, and long-term transgene expression in non-dividing cells. However, the transduction efficiency of naturally occurring AAVs in certain organs is too low for clinical applications, and capsid neutralization by pre-existing neutralizing antibodies may prevent treatment of a large proportion of patients. For these reasons, considerable efforts have been devoted to obtaining capsid variants with enhanced properties. Of many approaches tested so far, significant advances have resulted from directed evolution of AAV capsids using in vitro or in vivo selection of capsid variants created by capsid sequence randomization using either error-prone PCR, shuffling of various parent serotypes, or insertion of fully randomized short peptides at defined positions.

[0054] The genome of the virus may be modified to contain a minimum of components for the assembly of a functional recombinant virus, or viral particle, which is loaded witir or engineered to target a particular tissue and express or deliver a desired pay load. The genome of the virus may encode a modulatory polynucleotide, e.g., a modulatory polynucleotide for reducing or eliminating expression of DMPK mRNA, and the viral particle comprising said genome may be delivered to a target cell, tissue, or organism. In some embodiments, the target cell or tissue is in the muscle, heart, and / or brain. In some embodiments, the target cell is a muscle cell, i.e., a skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, and / or cardiac muscle cell. In some embodiments, the target tissue is a muscle tissue, i.e., a skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, and / or cardiac muscle tissue.

[0055] Gene therapy presents an alternative approach for DM1 and related diseases sharing singlegene etiology. AAVs are commonly used in gene therapy approaches as a result of a number of advantageous features. Without wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed in some embodiments, that an AAV particle described herein can be used to administer and / or deliver a modulatory polynucleotide, in order to achieve sustained, high concentrations, allowing for longer lasting efficacy, fewer dose treatments, broad biodistribution, and / or more consistent levels of the modulatory polynucleotide, relative to a non- AAV therapy.

[0056] Provided herein are AAV capsid variants (e g., AAV5 capsid variants), as well as compositions and methods comprising said AAV capsid variants, which may provide with improved properties or features compared to prior AAV-mediated enzyme replacement approaches and / or compared to wildtype AAV5 and / or wildtype AAV9, including (i) increased biodistribution throughout muscle and / or heart tissue, (ii) elevated modulatory polynucleotide expression in muscle and / or heart tissue; and (iii) preferential biodistribution in muscle and / or heart tissue over other tissues or cells such as the liver and / or DRG.

[0057] In some embodiments, the AAV capsid variants with enhanced muscle and / or heart tropism described herein arc capable of significantly increasing modulatory polynucleotide expression in muscle and / or heart cells or tissues affected by mutated DMPK mRNA expression. In some embodiments, the AAV capsid variants with enhanced muscle and / or heart tropism described herein are capable of significantly reducing or eliminating expression of DMPK mRNA in muscle and / or heart.

[0058] Thus, the compositions and methods described herein can be used in the treatment of DMPK- related disorders, i.e., disorders associated with or caused by mutated DMPK mRNA expression, such as DM1. In some embodiments, the disclosure provides an AAV particle comprising an AAV capsid variant disclosed herein and an AAV viral genome comprising a nucleotide sequence comprising a promoter and a sequence encoding a modulatory polynucleotide for use in treating a DMPK-related disorder. In some embodiments, the modulatory polynucleotide reduces or eliminates expression of mutated DMPK mRNA. In some embodiments, the modulatory polynucleotide comprises an RNAi agent targeting DMPK mRNA. In some embodiments, the DMPK-related disorder is DM1.I. CompositionsAdeno-associated viral (AA V) vectors

[0059] AAVs have a genome of about 5,000 nucleotides in length and contains two open reading frames encoding the proteins responsible for replication (Rep) and the structural protein of the capsid (Cap). The open reading frames are flanked by two Inverted Terminal Repeat (ITR) sequences, which serve as the origin of replication of the viral genome. The wild-type AAV viral genome comprises nucleotide sequences for two open reading frames, one for the four non-structural Rep proteins (Rep78. Rep68, Rep52. Rep40, encoded by Rep genes) and one for the three capsid, or structural, proteins (VP1 , VP2, VP3. encoded by capsid genes or Cap genes). The Rep proteins are important for replication and packaging, while the capsid proteins are assembled to create the protein shell of the AAV, or AAV capsid. Alternative splicing and alternate initiation codons and promoters result in the generation of four different Rep proteins from a single open reading frame and the generation of three capsid proteins from a single open reading frame. Though it varies by AAV seroty pe, as a non-limiting example, for AAV5 (SEQ ID NO: 138 and 137) VP1 refers to amino acids 1-724. VP2 refers to amino acids 137-724, and VP3 refers to amino acids 193-724. In some embodiments, e.g., for the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 982, VP1 comprises amino acids 1-731, VP2 comprises amino acids 137-731, and VP3 comprises amino acids 193-731. In other words, VP1 is the full-length capsid protein sequence, while VP2 and VP3 are shorter components of the whole. As a result, changes in the sequence in the VP3 region, are also changes to VP1 and VP2, however, the percent difference as compared to the parent sequence will be greatest for VP3 since it is the shortest sequence of tire three. Though described here in relation to the amino acid sequence, the nucleic acid sequence encoding these proteins can be similarly described.Together, the three capsid proteins assemble to create the AAV capsid. While not wishing to be bound by theory', the AAV capsid typically comprises a molar ratio of 1 : 1: 10 of VP1 :VP2:VP3.

[0060] The AAV particle typically requires a co-helper e.g.. adenovirus) to undergo productive infection in cells. In the absence of such helper functions, the AAV virions essentially enter host cells but do not integrate into the cells’ genome.

[0061] AAV particles have been investigated for delivery of gene therapeutics because of several unique features. Non-limiting examples of the features include (i) the ability to infect both dividing and non-dividing cells; (ii) a broad host range for infectivity, including human cells; (iii) wild-type AAV has not been associated with any disease and has not been shown to replicate in infected cells; (iv) the lack of cell-mediated immune response against the vector, and (v) the non-integrative nature in a host chromosome thereby reducing potential for long-term genetic alterations. Moreover, infection with AAV particles has minimal influence on changing the pattern of cellular gene expression (Stilwell and Samulski et al., Biotechniques, 2003, 34, 148, the contents of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety).

[0062] Typically , AAV particles for delivery of a modulatory polynucleotide may be recombinant viral vectors which are replication defective as they lack sequences encoding functional Rep and Capproteins within the viral genome. In some cases, the replication defective AAV particles may lack most or all coding sequences and essentially only contain one or two AAV ITR sequences and a nucleic acid sequence encoding a modulatory poly nucleotide (e.g., a modulatory' polynucleotide for reducing or eliminating DMPK).

[0063] hi some embodiments, the AAV particles of the present disclosure may be introduced into mammalian cells.

[0064] AAV particles may be modified to enhance the efficiency of delivery. Such modified AAV particles of the present disclosure can be packaged efficiently and can be used to successfully infect the target cells at high frequency and with minimal toxicity.

[0065] In other embodiments, AAV particles of the present disclosure may be used to deliver a modulatory polynucleotide to the central nervous system (see, e.g.. U.S. Pat. No. 6,180,613; the contents of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety) or to specific tissues of the CNS.

[0066] It is understood that the compositions described herein may have additional conservative or non-essential amino acid substitutions, which do not have a substantial effect on their functions.

[0067] In some embodiments. AAV capsid variants disclosed herein comprise one or more modifications (e.g.. one or more substitutions) in the loop VIII region of AAV5. In some embodiments, the AAV5 loop VIII region comprises amino acid positions 571-579, e.g.. position 577, numbered relative to SEQ ID NO: 138. In some embodiments, the AAV5 loop VIII region (e.g., positions 571-579, e.g.. position 577) protrudes above the 3-fold axis of symmetry, e.g., is a surface-exposed location in the AAV5 capsid, e.g.. as described in Govindasamy et al. “Structural Insights into Adeno-Associated Virus Serotype 5,’’ Journal of Virology, 2013, 87(20): 11187-11199 (the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety ). In some embodiments, the term “loop-’ (e.g., as used in loop VIII) is used interchangeably herein with the term "variable region" (e.g., variable region VIII), or “VR” (e.g., VR-VIII). In some embodiments, loop VIII (e.g., VR-VIII) comprises positions 571-599 (e.g., amino acids TNNQSSYPAEVVQKTAPATGTYNLQEIVP (SEQ ID NO: 756)), numbered according to SEQ ID NO: 982. In some embodiments, loop VIII or variable region VIII (VR-VIII) is as described in Govindasamy et al. (supra) (the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety ).

[0068] The AAV particles and pay loads of the disclosure may be delivered to one or more target cells, tissues, organs, or organisms. In some embodiments, the AAV particles of the disclosure demonstrate enhanced tropism for a target cell ty pe, tissue, or organ. As a non-limiting example, the AAV particle may have enhanced tropism for cells and tissues of the muscle, heart, and / or brain. In some embodiments, the AAV particles of the disclosure demonstrate enhanced tropism for skeletal muscle. In some embodiments, the AAV particles of the disclosure demonstrate enhanced tropism for smooth muscle. In some embodiments, the AAV particles of the disclosure demonstrate enhanced tropism for cardiac muscle. In some embodiments, an AAV particle of the disclosure may, in addition, or alternatively, have decreased tropism for a cell-type, tissue, or organ.

[0069] In some embodiments, AAV are used as a biological tool due to a relatively simple structure, their ability to infect a wide range of cells (including quiescent and dividing cells) without integration into the host genome and without replicating, and their relatively benign immunogenic profile. The genome of the virus may be manipulated to contain a minimum of components for the assembly of a functional recombinant virus, or viral particle, which is loaded with or engineered to target a particular tissue and express or deliver a desired payload.

[0070] In some embodiments, the AAV is a recombinant AAV. In some embodiments, the wild-type AAV viral genome is a linear, single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) molecule approximately 5,000 nucleotides (nt) in length. In some embodiments, inverted terminal repeats (ITRs) cap die viral genome at both the 5’ and the 3’ end, providing origins of replication for the viral genome. In some embodiments, an AAV viral genome comprises two ITR sequences. In some embodiments, the ITRs have a characteristic T- shaped hairpin structure defined by a self-complementary region (145nt in wild-type AAV) at the 5’ and 3’ ends of the ssDNA which form an energetically stable double stranded region. In some embodiments, the double stranded hairpin structures comprise multiple functions including, but not limited to, acting as an origin for DNA replication by functioning as primers for the endogenous DNA polymerase complex of the host viral replication cell.

[0071] AAV particles of the present disclosure may be produced recombinantly and may be based on adeno-associated virus (AAV) reference sequences. In addition to single-stranded AAV viral genomes (e.g., ssAAVs), the present disclosure also provides for self-complementary AAV (scAAVs) viral genomes. scAAV viral genomes contain DNA strands which anneal together to form double-stranded DNA. By skipping second strand synthesis, scAAVs allow for rapid expression in the transduced cell. In some embodiments, the AAV particle of the present disclosure is an scAAV. In some embodiments, the AAV particle of the present disclosure is an ssAAV.
