[0002] This disclosure relates to RNAi agents (e.g., double stranded RNA (dsRNA) agents comprising a sense strand and an antisense strand) targeting cell death inducing DNA fragmentation factor alpha like effector B (CIDEB). The disclosure further relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising the same; and methods of utilizing the same, including, e.g., methods of treating CIDEB associated diseases (e.g., liver diseases).2. BACKGROUND

[0003] The CIDE (cell death inducing DNA fragmentation factor alpha like effector) protein family is a family of lipid droplet-as sociated proteins . There are three members of the CIDE protein family, CIDEA, CIDEB, and CIDEC. Each of the CIDE proteins comprises a common CIDE-N domain and a CIDE-C domain, which varies between each of the members. The tissue expression pattern of each CIDE protein differs but is correlative with their association with lipid droplets — CIDEA and CIDEC are primarily expressed in adipose tissue, while CIDEB is highly expressed in the liver. The association of CIDE proteins with lipid droplets can be a direct physical interaction with the surface of the lipid droplet, as well as an association with other lipid droplet proteins, such as perilipin.3.

[0124] Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as is commonly understood by one of skill in the art to which the claimed subject matter belongs. It is to be understood that the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only and are not restrictive of any subject matter claimed.

[0125] In this application, the use of the singular includes the plural unless specifically stated otherwise. For example, as used in the specification and the appended claims, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Furthermore, use of the term “including” as well as other forms, such as “include,” “includes,” and “included,” is not limiting.

[0126] It is understood that wherever aspects are described herein with the language “comprising,” otherwise analogous aspects described in terms of “consisting of’ and “consisting essentially of’ are also provided.

[0127] The term “and / or” where used herein is to be taken as specific disclosure of each of the two specified features or components with or without the other. Thus, the term “and / or” as used in a phrase such as “A and / or B” herein is intended to include “A and B,” “A or B,” “A” (alone), and “B” (alone). Likewise, the term “and / or” as used in a phrase such as “A, B, and / or C” is intended to encompass each of the following aspects: A, B, and C; A, B, or C; A or C; A or B; B or C; A and C; A and B; B and C; A (alone); B (alone); and C (alone).

[0129] The terms “about” or “comprising essentially of’ refer to a value or composition that is within an acceptable error range for the particular value or composition as determined by one of ordinary skill in the art, which will depend in part on how the value or composition is measured or determined, i.e., the limitations of the measurement system. When particular values or compositions are provided in the application and claims, unless otherwise stated, the meaning of “about” or “comprising essentially of’ should be assumed to be within an acceptable error range for that particular value or composition.

[0130] As used herein, the term “administering” refers to the physical introduction of an agent, e.g., a therapeutic agent (or a precursor of the therapeutic agent that is metabolized or altered within the body of the subject to produce the therapeutic agent in vivo) to a subject, using any of the various methods and delivery systems known to those skilled in the art. Administering can also be performed, for example, once, a plurality of times, and / or over one or more extended periods. Administration includes administration to a subject by a third party; as well as self-administration by the subject.

[0131] As used herein, the term “agent” is used generically to describe any macro or micro molecule. Exemplary moieties include, but are not limited polypeptides, proteins, peptides, polynucleotides (e.g., DNA, RNA), small molecules, carbohydrates, lipids, synthetic polymers (e.g., polymers of PEG).

[0132] As used herein, the term “antisense strand” refers to an RNA molecule (e.g., part of an RNAi agent (e.g., described herein), part of a dsRNA agent (e.g., described herein)) that comprises a region of complementarity comprising a nucleotide sequence that is at least partially (e.g., substantially, fully) complementary to a target nucleic acid sequence (e.g., a target mRNA (e.g., a CIDEB mRNA), a portion of a target mRNA (e.g., a CIDEB mRNA)).

[0133] As used herein, the term “bicyclic sugar” refers to a modified sugar (e.g., ribose) moiety comprising two rings, wherein the second ring is formed via a bridge connecting two of the atoms in the first ring thereby forming a bicyclic structure.

[0135] As used herein, the term “blunt end” refers to a dsRNA molecule that does not containany unpaired nucleotides at the end (e.g., 3' terminus, 5' terminus) of the dsRNA molecule (i.e., no nucleotide overhang(s)). The dsRNA molecule can have, for example, a blunt end at the 3’ end, 5' end, or both the 3' and 5' end of the molecule.

[0136] As used herein, the term “CIDEB” or “cell death inducing DNA fragmentation factor alpha like effector” refers to the lipid droplet-associated protein primarily expressed in the liver and functions, e.g., to promote unilocular lipid droplet formation by mediating lipid droplet fusion. The mRNA sequence of a reference hCIDEB gene is set forth in SEQ ID NO: 1 (NCBI Ref.: NM_014430.4). The amino acid sequence of a reference hCIDEB protein is set forth in SEQ ID NO: 3 (NCBI Ref.: NP_055245). The term CIDEB includes naturally occurring variants of CIDEB. CIDEB gene and mRNA sequences of e.g., human, mouse, rat, non-human primate (e.g., rhesus macaque, Macaca fascicularis (cynomolgus monkey)), are readily available through publicly available databases, including, e.g., GenBank, UniProt, OMIM, and the Macaca genome project web site.

[0137] As used herein, the term “complementary” in reference to a first nucleotide sequence (e.g., a sense strand or a target mRNA) in relation to a second nucleotide sequence (e.g., an antisense strand), refers to the ability of a nucleic acid molecule comprising the first nucleotide sequence to hybridize to a nucleic acid molecule comprising the second nucleotide sequence and form a double stranded region (through base pair hydrogen bonds) under suitable in vivo or vitro conditions (e.g., under certain standard conditions, under mammalian (e.g., human) physiological conditions). A person of ordinary skill in the art would be able to select the set of conditions most appropriate for a hybridization test. Complementary sequences include, e.g., Watson-Crick base pairs. For example, complementary nucleobase pairs include adenine (A) and thymine (T); adenine (A) and uracil (U); and cytosine (C) and guanine (G). Complementary nucleobase pairs include natural and modified nucleotides, and nucleotide mimics, at least to the extent that the above hybridization requirements are fulfilled. As such, determinations of complementarity (as described herein) are independent of nucleotide chemical modifications (e.g., as described herein). For example, (C) and 5-methyl cytosine (mC) are both complementary to (G).

[0139] As used herein, the term “differing by no more than X nucleotides” in reference to a nucleotide sequence means that the nucleotide sequence comprises no more than X (wherein X is a specified number (e.g., 3, 2, 1, 0)) nucleotide variations relative to a reference sequence. For example, the phrase “wherein the nucleotide sequence of the antisense strand differs by no more than 3 nucleotides from the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: X” means that the nucleotide sequence comprises no more than 3 nucleotide variations relative to the nucleotide sequence set forth in the cited SEQ ID NO: X.

[0140] As used herein, the term “disease” refers to any abnormal condition that impairs physiological function. The term is used broadly to encompass any disorder, illness, abnormality, pathology, sickness, condition, or syndrome in which physiological function is impaired, irrespective of the nature of the etiology. The term disease includes infection (e.g., a viral, bacterial, fungal, protozoal infection). The term disease includes other conditions caused by an infection.

[0141] As used herein, the term “double stranded RNA agent” or “dsRNA agent” refers to a complex of two RNA molecules comprising a double stranded region comprising two anti-parallel and at least partially (e.g., substantially, fully) complementary nucleic acid sequences that form the double stranded region. For example, in some embodiments, the dsRNA agent comprises a sense strand and an antisense strand.

[0142] The terms “DNA” and “polydeoxyribonucleotide” are used interchangeably herein and refer to macromolecules that include multiple deoxyribonucleotides that are polymerized via phosphodiester bonds. Deoxyribonucleotides are nucleotides in which the sugar is deoxyribose.

[0143] As used herein, the term “fully complementary” means that in a hybridized pair of a first nucleic acid molecule and a second nucleic acid molecule, 100% (all), of the bases in a contiguous sequence of the first nucleic acid molecule will hybridize with the same number of bases in a contiguous sequence of the second nucleic acid molecule. The contiguous sequence may comprise all or a part of the first and / or second nucleic acid molecule.

[0144] As used herein, the term “heterologous,” when used to describe a first element in reference to a second element means that the first element and second element do not exist innature disposed as described. For example, a nucleic acid molecule comprising a “heterologous moiety” means a nucleic acid molecule that is joined to a moiety (e.g., carbohydrate, small molecule, polypeptide, polynucleotide, lipid, synthetic polymer (e.g., polymers of PEG), etc.) that is not joined to the nucleic acid molecule in nature.

[0145] As used herein, the term “isolated” with reference to a polypeptide, protein, or polynucleotide refers to a polypeptide, protein, or polynucleotide that is substantially free of other cellular components with which it is associated in the natural state.

[0146] As used herein, the term “nucleotide variation,” “variant nucleotide,” or use of the term “variation” and the like in reference to a nucleotide or nucleic acid sequence refers to a nucleic acid molecule that comprises at least one substitution, addition, deletion, or inversion of one or more nucleotide compared to a reference nucleic acid molecule. As used herein, the term “variant” or “variation” with reference to a peptide or protein refers to a peptide or protein that comprises at least one substitution, addition, deletion, or inversion of an amino acid residue compared to a reference peptide or protein.

[0147] As used herein, the term “modified agent” refers to any agent (or any component thereof (e.g., any nucleic acid molecule thereof)) (e.g., described herein, e.g., an antisense strand, a sense strand, a dsRNA agent, RNAi agent, etc.) that comprises one or more modified nucleotide (as defined herein).

[0148] As used herein, the term “modified nucleotide,” “nucleotide modification,” or use of the term “modification” and the like in reference to a nucleotide or nucleic acid sequence refers to a nucleotide comprising a chemical modification, e.g., a modified sugar moiety, a modified nucleobase, and / or a modified internucleoside linkage, or any combination thereof. Exemplary modifications are provided herein, see, e.g., §§ 4.3, 4.3.1. In certain embodiments of the instant disclosure, inclusion of a deoxynucleotide - which is acknowledged as a naturally occurring form of nucleotide - if present within an RNAi agent or component thereof (e.g., described herein, e.g., a sense strand, an antisense strand, a dsRNA agent) is considered to constitute a modified nucleotide.

[0149] As used herein, the term “moiety” is used generically to describe any macro or micro molecule that can be operably connected to a protein described herein. Exemplary moieties include, but are not limited small molecules, polypeptides, polynucleotides (e.g., DNA, RNA), carbohydrates, lipids, synthetic polymers (e.g., polymers of PEG).

[0150] As used herein, the term “nucleotide overhang” refers to at least one unpaired nucleotide that extends from the double stranded region of a nucleic acid molecule (e.g., a dsRNA molecule (e.g., a dsRNA molecule described herein)). For example, when a 3'-end of one strand of a dsRNA extends beyond the 5'-end of the other strand, or vice versa, there is a nucleotide overhang.

[0151] As used herein, the term, “non-complementary nucleotide mismatch” refers to a nucleotide within a region of complementarity (as described herein) that is not complementary to the corresponding nucleotide in the target nucleic acid molecule.

[0152] As used herein, the term “operably connected” refers to the linkage of two moieties in a functional relationship. For example, a polypeptide is operably connected to another polypeptide when they are linked (either directly or indirectly via a peptide linker) in frame such that both polypeptides are functional (e.g., a fusion protein described herein). Or for example, a transcription regulatory polynucleotide e.g., a promoter, enhancer, or other expression control element is operably linked to a polynucleotide that encodes a protein if it affects the transcription of the polynucleotide that encodes the protein. The term “operably connected” can also refer to the conjugation of a moiety to e.g., a polynucleotide or polypeptide (e.g., the conjugation of a PEG polymer to a protein).

[0153] As used herein, “partially complementary” means that in a hybridized pair of a first nucleic acid molecule and a second nucleic acid molecule, at least 70%, but not all, of the bases in a contiguous sequence of the first nucleic acid molecule will hybridize with the same number of bases in a contiguous sequence of the second nucleic acid molecule. The contiguous sequence may comprise all or a part of a first or second nucleic acid molecule.

[0154] The determination of “percent identity” between two sequences (e.g., protein (amino acid sequences) or polynucleotide (nucleic acid sequences)) can be accomplished using a mathematical algorithm. Determinations of identity (as described herein) are independent of nucleotide chemical modifications (e.g., as described herein). For example, (mC) is identical to (C) for the purposes of determining identity. A specific, non-limiting example of a mathematical algorithm utilized for the comparison of two sequences is the algorithm of Karlin S & Altschul SF (1990) PNAS 87: 2264-2268, modified as in Karlin S & Altschul SF (1993) PNAS 90: 5873-5877, each of which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety. Such an algorithm is incorporated into the NBLAST and XBLAST programs of Altschul SF et al., (1990) J Mol Biol 215: 403, whichis herein incorporated by reference in its entirety. BLAST nucleotide searches can be performed with the NBLAST nucleotide program parameters set, e.g., for score=100, wordlength=12 to obtain nucleotide sequences homologous to a nucleic acid molecule described herein. BLAST protein searches can be performed with the XBLAST program parameters set, e.g., to score 50, wordlcngth=3 to obtain amino acid sequences homologous to a protein molecule described herein. To obtain gapped alignments for comparison purposes, Gapped BLAST can be utilized as described in Altschul SF et al., (1997) Nuc Acids Res 25: 3389-3402, which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety. Alternatively, PSI BLAST can be used to perform an iterated search which detects distant relationships between molecules (Id.). When utilizing BLAST, Gapped BLAST, and PSI Blast programs, the default parameters of the respective programs (e.g., of XBLAST and NBLAST) can be used (see, e.g., National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) on the worldwide web, ncbi.nlm.nih.gov). Another specific, non-limiting example of a mathematical algorithm utilized for the comparison of sequences is the algorithm of Myers and Miller, 1988, CAB IOS 4:11-17, which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety. Such an algorithm is incorporated in the ALIGN program (version 2.0) which is part of the GCG sequence alignment software package. When utilizing the ALIGN program for comparing amino acid sequences, a PAM120 weight residue table, a gap length penalty of 12, and a gap penalty of 4 can be used.
