[0001] 7504-00202 GRH-00462COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR MODULATING HEAT SHOCK PROTEIN 70ACTIVITY FOR TREATMENT OF INFLAMMATORY DISEASESBACKGROUND Heat shock proteins (HSPs) represent a class of molecular chaperones known to beexpressed in response to exposure to stressful conditions, such as, heat, cold, ultravioletlight, wound healing, tissue remodeling, and a number of other systemic and biochemicalstressors. HSPs perform chaperone functions by binding and stabilizing new or mis-foldedproteins and assisting them to acquire their native structure, thus preventing mis-folding andthe aggregation process, such as stress-induced protein denaturation. What is more, HSPshave been shown to have pro-inflammatory and / or anti-inflammatory effects. Thus, HSPsmay play a role critical to biological pathways for the mediation and resolution ofinflammation, such as under metabolic and proteotoxic stress conditions. In the context ofdegenerative inflammation disorders, particularly those characterized by persistent, low-levelinflammation, a gradual suppression or exhaustion of the heat shock response (HSR) mayoccur. Unfortunately, chronic inflammatory diseases have become epidemic, at least, in part,due to lifestyle choices characterized by high- calorie diet, intestinal dysbiosis, and sedentarybehavior. Conditions such as obesity, diabetes, liver disease, cardiovascular diseases (CVD),and neurodegenerative diseases now collectively account for approximately 74% of globaldeaths. Thus, despite the many advances in various fields of medical science, there remains aneed for safe, well-tolerated treatments for inflammatory disease, and the maintenance oflong-term remission.

For example,HSPlO0, HSP90, HSP70, HSP60, HSP40, and H5P27, each playing a diverse role ininfluencing proper protein assembly, folding, and translocation. The heat shock proteinsHSP70, HSP60, and H5P27 are known to prevent protein aggregation and help proteinfolding; HSP 100 releases proteins from aggregates; and HSP90 plays a role in maturationand activation of a number of proteins. Recent studies have shown that HSPs may besecreted proteins with pro- and / or anti- inflammatory actions that could be relevant to humandiseases. HSPs have also demonstrated the ability to bind peptides and present them to Tcells to modulate immune responses, which may have implications in a number of diseasesettings. HSPs may also be present in the extracellular and cell-associated compartments,having the capacity to 'escape' from cells and interact with different cell types to elicit arange of biological effects, potentially acting as receptors for inflammatory mediators as anumber of HSPs have been found in the bodily fluids of humans and animals.7504-00202 GRH-00462The 70 kilodalton heat shock proteins (Hsp70s or DnaK) HSP70 are a family ofadenosine triphosphates that represent the most structurally and functionally conservedproteins amongst HSPs. HSP70 is also the most ubiquitous class of chaperone protein,including cytoprotective effects under a number of different conditions, primarily in cellularprotein quality control (PQC) and degradation systems. Briefly, in humans the HSP70multigene family acts on nonnative polypeptides, fueled by ATP binding and hydrolysis. TheHSP70 chaperone binds to protein substrates (e.g., nascent or misfolded protein) to assistwith folding, re-folding, reactivation, degradation, transport, regulation, and aggregationprevention. HSP70 consists of two highly conserved domain structures; a 45 kDa N-terminalnucleotide binding domain (NBD) and a 25 kDa C-terminal substrate binding domain (SBD).These domains undergo reciprocal allosteric interactions induced by ligand binding. TheNBD comprises two lobes, forming a cleft that binds ATP with a nucleotide binding cassettethat is related to those in actin and hexokinase. The SBD comprises a B-sandwich domainharboring the substrate binding site, and an a-helical lid. Both these domains are critical forchaperone function and are connected by a short flexible linker. As a molecular chaperone,HSP70 also has multiple responsibilities during normal growth. It is integral to the folding ofnewly synthesized proteins, the subcellular transport of proteins and vesicles, the formationand dissociation of complexes, and degradation of unwanted proteins. In carrying out thesediverse functions HSP70 adopts different conformations, e.g., in the absence of nucleotide,when bound with ADP, or when bound with ATP. In addition, the functions of HSP70 relyon crosstalk between the SBD and NBD, with ATP influencing substrate binding. The cycleof rapid, controlled, binding and release of substrate promotes unfolding / folding andassembly with partner proteins while preventing aggregation of the substrate proteins. Provided herein are nucleic acids (e.g., mRNAs) encoding heat shock proteins. Thecomposition and methods of the present disclosure rely, at least in part, on the delivery ofheat shock protein-encoding nucleic acids (e.g., HSP70-encoding nucleic acids) to cells of asubject in need thereof (e.g., a gene therapy composition). For example, and withoutlimitation, compositions comprising the heat shock protein-encoding nucleic acids disclosedherein can be used to treat inflammatory conditions. In some embodiments, said compositionmay be used to treat inflammatory disease or dysfunction, and / or infection. Indeed, HSPs,such as HSP70, affect several pro- and anti-inflammatory pathways, including but not limitedto, caspase-dependent pathways, toll-like receptor 2 inflammatory pathways, P13K, p38MAPK, and IL-6 / JAK / STAT3. In particular, HSP70 has been shown to have an inhibitory7504-00202 GRH-00462effect on nuclear factor kappa-light- chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-KB), a family oftranscription factor protein complexes that controls transcription of DNA, cytokineproduction and cell survival.Inflammation is a common effect of thousands of diseases affecting billions of peopleevery year. Without being bound by theory, a set of intracellular pathways that signal thepresence of cellular stress, collectively known as the unfolded-protein response (UPR)pathways, can initiate inflammatory signal cascades in response to imbalances in theendoplasmic reticulum (ER), an organelle responsible for the biosynthesis, folding, assemblyand modification of protein in the cell. ER stress, through the UPR, induces an inflammatoryprofile comprising NF- KB signaling and inflammasome activation, while at the same time,the UPR enlists the HSR to monitor protein chaperoning and NF-KB signals. Inflammation,particularly chronic inflammation, may overwhelm the HSR leading to its gradual suppression. As a non-limiting example, to display HSP70s ability to treat inflammation, NASHand NAFLD are used as proof-of-concept. Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)affects about 25% of all adults in the United States and causes high amounts of fat in theliver. Approximately 20% of Americans with NAFLD have the more severe Non-AlcoholicSteatohepatitis (NASH), which causes high amounts of fat, inflammation, and liver cell damage.Several lifestyle changes (diet change, increased exercise, decreased alcohol consumption,etc.) are often implemented to reduce fat buildup in the liver. Vitamin E and pioglitazone,treatments for other conditions, have been seen to have some effect for NAFLD and NASHwhen implemented with several lifestyle changes. Yet, despite being a growing global healthproblem, to date, no drug has been approved by regulatory agency specifically to treat NAFLD,while only just recently the drug resmetirom, a thyroid hormone receptor beta-selective agonist,has been approved for treatment of NASH. Clearly, there is an unmet need for safe, tolerable,and efficacious treatment of inflammatory diseases such as NASH and NAFLD.Table 1HSP70 Sequence FeaturesMAKAAAIGIDLGTTYSCVGVFQHGKVEIIANDQGNRTTPSYVAFTDTERLIGDAAKNQVALNPQNTVFDAKRL Amino Acid Sequence:IGRKFGDPVVQSDMKHWPFQVINDGDKPKVQVSYKGETKAFYPEEISSMVLTKMKEIAEAYLGYPVTNAVITV• NBD: aa2-PAYFNDSQRQATKDAGVIAGLNVLRIINEPTAAAIAYGLDRTGKGERNVLIFDLGGGTFDVSILTIDDGIFEV aa386 KATAGDTHLGGEDFDNRLVNHFVEEFKRKHKKDISQNKRAVRRLRTACERAKRTLSSSTQASLEIDSLFEGIDLinker: aa387-FYTSITRARFEELCSDLFRSTLEPVEKALRDAKLDKAQIHDLVLVGGSTRUOKVQKLLQDFFNGRDLNKSINP• aa393DEAVAYGAAVQAAILMGDKSENVQDLLLLDVAPLSLGLETAGGVMTALIKRNSTIPTKOTOIFTTYSDNOPGV GERAMTKDNNLLGRFELSGIPPAPRGVPOIEVTFDIDANGILNVTATDKSTGKANKITITNDKGRLS• SBD: aa394-LIOVYEaa509KEEIERMVQEAEKYKAEDEVQRERVSAKNALESYAFNMKSAVEDEGLKGKISEADKKKVLDKCQEVISWLDAN TLAEKDEFEHRKELEQVCNPIISGLYQGAGGPGPGGFGAQGPKGGSGPTIEEVD(SEQ ID NO. 1)7504-00202 GRH-004621 aacggctagc ctgaggagct gctgcgacag tccactacct ttttcgagag tgtctcccgtnucleotide sequence61 tgtcccaagg cttcccagag cgaacctgtg cggctgcagg caccggcgcg tcgagtttcc (corresponding to 121 ggcgtccgga aggaccgagc tcttctcgcg gatccagtgt tccgtttcca gcccccaatc Accession number 181 tcagagcgga gccgacagag agcagggaac cggcatggcc aaagccgcgg cgatcggcat NM_005345.6,, 241cgacctgggc accacctact cctgcgtggg ggtgttccaa cacggcaagg tggagatcat incorporated herein by301cgccaacgac cagggcaacc gcaccacccc cagctacgtg gccttcacgg acaccgagcgreference): 361gctcatcggg gatgcggcca agaaccaggt ggcgctgaac ccgcagaaca ccgtgtttga421cgcgaagcgg ctgattggcc gcaagttcgg cgacccggtg gtgcagtcgg acatgaagca • NBD: nt218-nt1372481ctggcctttc caggtgatca acgacggaga caagcccaag gtgcaggtga gctacaaggg541gacca agatgaagga • Linker: ntl373-ggagaccaag gcarrcracc ccgaggagat ctcgtccatg gtgct ntl393601gatcgccgag gcgtacctgg gctacccggt gaccaacgcg gtgatcgcgg ggctcaacgtcttcaacgac tcgcagcgcc aggccaccaa ggatgcgg • SBD: nt1394-661gt gtgatcgcgg ggctcaacgt 1741721gctgcggatc atcaacgagc ccacggccgc cgccatcgcc tacggcctgg acagaacggg781caagggggag cgcaacgtgc tcatctttga cctgggcggg ggcaccttcg acgtgtccat841cctgacgatc gacgacggca tcttcgaggt gaaggccacg gccggggaca cccacctggg901tggggaggac tttgacaaca ggctggtgaa ccacttcgtg gaggagttca agagaaaaca961caagaaggac atcagccaga acaagcgagc cgtgaggcgg ctgcgcaccg cctgcgagag1021ggccaagagg accctgtcgt ccagcaccca ggccagcctg gagatcgact ccctgtttga1081gggcatcgac ttctacacgt ccatcaccag ggcgaggttc gaggagctgt gctccgacct1141gttccgaagc accctggagc ccgtggagaa ggctctgcgc gacgccaagc tggacaaggc1201ccagattcac gacctggtcc tggtcggggg ctccacccgc atccccaagg tgcagaagct1261gctgcaggac ttcttcaacg ggcgcgacct gaacaagagc atcaaccccg acgsggctgt1321ggcctacggg gcggcggtgc aggcggccat cctfatgggg gacaagrccg agaacgtgca1381ggacctgctg ctgctggacg tggctcccct gtcgctgggg ctggagacgg ccggaggcgt1441gatgactgcc ctgstcssgc gcaactccac catccccacc aagcagacgc agatcttcac1501 cacctactcc gacaaccaac ccggggtgct gatccaggtg tacgagggcg agagggccct1561 gacgaaagac aacaatctgt tggggcgctt cgagctgagc ggcatccctc cggcccccag1621 gggcgtgccc cagatcgagg tgaccttcga catcgatgcc aacggcatcc tgaacgtcac1681 ggccacggac aagagcaccg gcaaggccaa caagatcacc atcaccaacg acaagggccg1741 cctgagcaag gaggagatcg agcgcatggt gcaggaggcg gagaagtaca aagcggagga1801 cgaggtgcag cgcgagaggg tgtcagccaa gaacgccctg gagtcctacg ccttcaacat1861 gaagagcgcc gtggaggatg aggggctcaa gggcaagatg agcgaggcgg acaagaagaa

The use of such media and agents forpharmaceutically active substances is well known in the art. Except insofar as anyconventional media or agent is incompatible with angiotensin II, its use in the pharmaceuticalformulations of the invention is contemplated. In certain embodiments, the pharmaceuticallyacceptable carrier / excipient is a saline solution. As used herein, the term "administering" means providing a pharmaceutical; agent orcomposition to a subject, and includes, but is not limited to, administering by a medicalprofessional and self-administering. Such an agent can contain, for example, peptide ornucleic acid described herein. As used herein, the term "treatment" refers to clinical intervention designed to alterthe natural course of the individual being treated during the course of clinical pathology.Desirable effects of treatment include decreasing the rate of progression, ameliorating orpalliating the pathological state, and remission or improved prognosis of a particular disease,disorder, or condition. An individual is successfully "treated," for example, if one or moresymptoms associated with a particular disease, disorder, or condition are mitigated oreliminated. As used herein, a therapeutic that "prevents" a condition refers to a compound that,when administered to a statistical sample prior to the onset of the disorder or condition,reduces the occurrence of the disorder or condition in the treated sample relative to anuntreated control sample, or delays the onset or reduces the severity of one or moresymptoms of the disorder or condition relative to the untreated control sample.In certain embodiments, agents of the invention may be used alone or conjointlyadministered with another type of therapeutic agent. As used herein, the phrase "conjointadministration" or "administered conjointly" refers to any form of administration of two ormore different therapeutic agents such that the second agent is administered while thepreviously administered therapeutic agent is still effective in the body (e.g., the two agentsare simultaneously effective in the subject, which may include synergistic effects of the twoagents). For example, the different therapeutic compositions disclosed herein can beadministered either in the same formulation or in separate formulations, either concomitantlyor sequentially. In certain embodiments, the different therapeutic agents (e.g., a therapeuticcomposition comprising an mRNA disclosed herein and an immunotherapy or standard-of-care treatment (e.g., standard- of-care treatment for a neurodegenerative disease, such as7504-00202 GRH-00462Alzheimer's disease)) can be administered within about one hour, about 12 hours, about 24hours, about 36 hours, about 48 hours, about 72 hours, or about a week of one another. Thus,a subject who receives such treatment can benefit from a combined effect of differenttherapeutic agents. The terms "polypeptide fragment" or "fragment", when used in reference to a particularpolypeptide, refers to a polypeptide in which amino acid residues are deleted as compared tothe reference polypeptide itself, but where the remaining amino acid sequence is usuallyidentical to that of the reference polypeptide. Such deletions may occur at the amino-terminus or carboxy- terminus of the reference polypeptide, or alternatively both. Fragmentstypically are at least about 5, 6, 8 or 10 amino acids long, at least about 14 amino acids long,at least about 20, 30, 40 or 50 amino acids long, at least about 75 amino acids long, or at leastabout 100, 150, 200, 300, 500 or more amino acids long. A fragment can retain one or moreof the biological activities of the reference polypeptide. In various embodiments, a fragmentmay comprise an enzymatic activity and / or an interaction site of the reference polypeptide. Insome embodiments, a fragment may have suppressive, disruptive, or enhancing properties.Nucleic acids and vectorsNucleic acids and vectors disclosed herein include polynucleotides and polynucleotidevectors encoding the disclosed heat shock proteins (e.g., HSP70 polypeptides) that allowexpression in the disclosed cells. Nucleic acid sequences contemplated herein can be obtained using recombinantmethods known in the art. Alternatively, the sequence of interest can be producedsynthetically, rather than cloned.In addition to the polypeptide-encoding sequences, other structural properties asdescribed herein for mRNA constructs (e.g., modified nucleobases, 5' cap, 5' UTR, 3' UTR,miR binding site(s), polyA tail, as described herein). Suitable mRNA construct componentsarc as described herein. In some embodiments, a nucleic acid of the disclosure may bemodified in a coding region (e.g., an open reading frame of an mRNA encoding apolypeptide). In other embodiments, nucleic acid may be modified in regions besides acoding region, such as, 5' cap, a 5'-untranslated region (UTR) and / or a 3'- UTR, polyA tail ofan mRNA, wherein any combination of elements may be independently modified. In someembodiments, such regions may contain one or more different nucleoside modifications. Insuch embodiments, modifications may also be present in the coding region.Examples of nucleoside modifications and combinations thereof that may be present7504-00202 GRH-00462in mRNAs disclosed herein include, but are not limited to, those described in PCT PatentApplication Publications: WO2012045075, WO2014081507, WO2014093924, WO2014164253, WO2014159813, WO2018144775, WO2018081459, each of which areincorporated herein in their entirety.In some embodiments, the mRNAs of the disclosure can include a combination ofmodifications to the sugar, the nucleobase, and / or the intemucleoside linkage. Thesecombinations can include any one or more modifications described herein. As a non-limitingexample, the natural nucleotide uridine may be substituted with a modified nucleosidedescribed herein. In another non-limiting example, the natural nucleoside uridine may bepartially substituted (e.g., about 0.1 %, 1 %, 5 %, 10 %, 15 %, 20 %, 25 %, 30 %, 35 %, 40%, 45 %, 50%,55 %, 60 %,65 %,70 %,75 %, 80%, 85%, 90 %,95 % or 99.9 % of the naturaluridines) with at least one of the modified nucleosides disclosed herein, e.g., pseudouridine.Expression of nucleic acids encoding heat shock proteins (e.g., HSP70) is typicallyachieved by operably linking a nucleic acid encoding the HSP70 polypeptide to a promoterand incorporating the construct into an expression vector. Typical cloning vectors containtranscription and translation terminators, initiation sequences, and promoters useful forregulation of the expression of the desired nucleic acid sequence.The disclosed nucleic acids can be cloned into a number of types of vectors. Forexample, the nucleic acid can be cloned into a vector including, but not limited to a plasmid, aphagemid, a phage derivative, an animal virus, and a cosmid. Vectors of particular interestinclude expression vectors, replication vectors, probe generation vectors, and sequencingvectors. Further, the expression vector may be provided to a cell in the form of a viral vector.Viral vector technology is well known in the art and is described, for example, in Sambrook etal. (2001, Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, NewYork), and in other virology and molecular biology manuals. Viruses, which are useful asvectors include, but are not limited to, retroviruses, adenoviruses, adeno-associated viruses,herpes viruses, and lentiviruses. In general, a suitable vector contains an origin of replicationfunctional in at least one organism, a promoter sequence, convenient restriction endonucleasesites, and one or more selectable markers. In some embodiments, the polynucleotide vectorsare lentiviral or retroviral vectors.A number of viral based systems have been developed for gene transfer intomammalian cells. For example, retroviruses and AAVs provide a convenient platform forgene delivery systems. A selected gene can be inserted into a vector and packaged in viral7504-00202 GRH-00462particles using techniques known in the art. The recombinant virus can then be isolated anddelivered to cells of the subject either in vivo or ex vivo.One example of a suitable promoter is the immediate early cytomegalovirus (CMV)promoter sequence. This promoter sequence is a strong constitutive promoter sequencecapable of driving high levels of expression of any polynucleotide sequence operativelylinked thereto. Another example of a suitable promoter is Elongation Growth Factor-la(EF-la). However, other constitutive promoter sequences may also be used, including, but notlimited to the simian virus 40 (SV4O) early promoter, MND (myeloproliferative sarcomavirus) promoter, mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV), human immunodeficiency virus(HIV) long terminal repeat (LTR) promoter, MoMuLV promoter, an avian leukemia viruspromoter, an Epstein-Barr virus immediate early promoter, a Rous sarcoma virus promoter,as well as human gene promoters such as, but not limited to, the actin promoter, the myosinpromoter, the hemoglobin promoter, and the creatine kinase promoter. The promoter canalternatively be an inducible promoter. Examples of inducible promoters include, but arenot limited to a metallothionine promoter, a glucocorticoid promoter, a progesteronepromoter, and a tetracycline promoter. Additional promoter elements, e.g., enhancers, regulate the frequency oftranscriptional initiation. Typically, these are located in the region 30-110 base pairs (bp)upstream of the start site, although a number of promoters have recently been shown tocontain functional elements downstream of the start site as well. The spacing betweenpromoter elements frequently is flexible, so that promoter function is preserved whenelements are inverted or moved relative to one another.In order to assess the expression of a heat shock protein disclosed herein or portionsthereof, the expression vector to be introduced into a cell can also contain either a selectablemarker gene or a reporter gene or both to facilitate identification and selection of expressionexpressing cells from the population of cells sought to be transfected or infected through viralvectors. The selectable marker may be carried on a separate piece of DNA and used in a co-transfection procedure. Both selectable markers and reporter genes may be flanked withappropriate regulatory sequences to enable expression in the host cells. Useful selectablemarkers include, for example, antibiotic-resistance genes. Reporter genes may be used for identifying potentially transfected cells and forevaluating the functionality of regulatory sequences. In general, a reporter gene is a gene thatis not present in or expressed by the recipient organism or tissue and that encodes apolypeptide whose expression is manifested by some easily detectable property, e.g.,7504-00202 GRH-00462enzymatic activity. Expression of the reporter gene is assayed at a suitable time after thenucleic acid has been introduced into the recipient cells. Suitable reporter genes may includegenes encoding luciferase, beta-galactosidase, chloramphenicol acetyl transferase, secretedalkaline phosphatase, or the green fluorescent protein gene. Suitable expression systems arewell known and may be prepared using known techniques or obtained commercially. Ingeneral, the construct with the minimal 5' flanking region showing the highest level ofexpression of reporter gene is identified as the promoter. Such promoter regions may belinked to a reporter gene and used to evaluate agents for the ability to modulate promoter-driven transcription. Methods of introducing and expressing genes into a cell are known in the art. In thecontext of an expression vector, the vector can be readily introduced into a host cell, e.g.,mammalian, bacterial, yeast, or insect cell by any method in the art. For example, theexpression vector can be transferred into a host cell by physical, chemical, or biologicalmeans. Physical methods for introducing a polynucleotide into a host cell include calciumphosphate precipitation, lipofection, particle bombardment, microinjection, electroporation,and the like. Methods for producing cells comprising vectors and / or exogenous nucleicacids are well-known in the art. See, for example, Sambrook et al. (2001, MolecularCloning: A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, New York). Biological methods for introducing a polynucleotide of interest into a host cellinclude the use of DNA and RNA vectors. Viral vectors, and especially retroviral vectors,have become the most widely used method for inserting genes into mammalian, e.g., humancells. Chemical means for introducing a polynucleotide into a host cell include colloidaldispersion systems, such as macromolecular complexes, nanocapsules, microspheres, beads,and lipid-based systems including oil-in-water emulsions, micelles, mixed micelles, andliposomes. An exemplary colloidal system for use as a delivery vehicle in vitro and in vivois a liposome (e.g., an artificial membrane vesicle).In the case where a non-viral delivery system is utilized, an exemplary deliveryvehicle is a liposome. In another aspect, the nucleic acid may be associated with a lipid. Thenucleic acid associated with a lipid may be encapsulated in the aqueous interior of aliposome, interspersed within the lipid bilayer of a liposome, attached to a liposome via alinking molecule that is associated with both the liposome and the oligonucleotide, entrappedin a liposome, complexed with a liposome, dispersed in a solution containing a lipid, mixed7504-00202 GRH-00462with a lipid, combined with a lipid, contained as a suspension in a lipid, contained orcomplexed with a micelle, or otherwise associated with a lipid. Lipid, lipid / nucleic acid orlipid / expression vector associated compositions are not limited to any particular structure insolution. For example, they may be present in a bilayer structure, as micelles, or with a"collapsed" structure. They may also simply be interspersed in a solution, possibly formingaggregates that are not uniform in size or shape. Lipids are fatty substances, which may benaturally occurring or synthetic lipids. For example, lipids include the fatty droplets thatnaturally occur in the cytoplasm as well as the class of compounds, which contain long-chainaliphatic hydrocarbons and their derivatives, such as fatty acids, alcohols, amines, aminoalcohols, and aldehydes. Lipids suitable for use can be obtained from commercial sources.For example, dimyristyl phosphatidylcholine ("DMPC") can be obtained from Sigma, St.Louis, Mo.; dicetyl phosphate ("DCP") can be obtained from K & K Laboratories(Plainview, N.Y.); cholesterol ("Choi") can be obtained from Calbiochem-Behring;dimyristyl phosphatidylglycerol ("DMPG") and other lipids may be obtained from AvantiPolar Lipids, me, (Birmingham, Ala.). In some embodiments the nucleic acids of the disclosure may be formulated innanoparticles (e.g., lipid nanoparticles) or other delivery vehicles, e.g., to protect them fromdegradation when delivered to a subject.

Thehydrophilic polymer-conjugated lipid may be a polyethyleneglycol (PEG)-conjugated lipid.In other embodiments, the polymer making up the polymer-lipid conjugate can be apolymer that contains a backbone that allows it to associate with the core of the particlethereby enhancing the stability of the delivery vehicle (e.g., poly(vinyl alcohol) conjugatedto a lipid). PEG lipids may be used to stabilize the nanoparticle, e.g., in terms of making itinvisible to the immune system. Without being bound by theory, hydrophilic polymer PEGFon the outer surface of the nanoparticle induces steric stabilization due to the local surfaceconcentration of highly hydrated PEG groups. This attracts a water shell that surrounds thenanoparticle that acts as a barrier against certain interactions in the biological environment,e.g., making the nanoparticle less detectable by, or otherwise invisible to, the immunesystem, including inhibition of adsorption and opsonization of the nanoparticle and itscontents. Such nanoparticles may have reduced detection and destruction in the biologicalenvironment and can lead to extended blood circulation time and a preferential accumulationat target sites. Stabilizing lipids may include some lipids that are not conjugated to a stabilizingpolymer. Such lipids contain a negatively charged phosphate group shielded by a hydrophilicneutral moiety such as phosphatidylglycerol (PG) and phosphatidylinositol (Pl).In some embodiments, the LNP has a molar ratio of 50:38.5:10:1.5 of ionizablelipid:structural lipid:phospholipid:PEG-modified lipid. Preferably the LNPO has a molarratio of 50:38.5:10:1.5 of SM-102:cholesterolLDSPC (Distearoylphosphatidylcholine):DMG-PEG 2000. In some such embodiments, the LNP is a solid lipid nanoparticle (SLN).Compositions In some aspects, provided herein is a composition (e.g., a pharmaceuticalcomposition, such as a therapeutic or vaccine composition), containing the nucleic aciddisclosed herein, formulated together with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, (e.g., acomposition of the nanoparticles disclosed herein) as well as methods of administering7504-00202 GRH-00462such pharmaceutical compositions. In some embodiments, the nucleic acids, polypeptides, or compositions providedherein are used as an adjuvant.

The LNPs are prepared by mixingan ethanolic lipid mixture with an acidic aqueous buffer containing the oligonucleotides ofinterest. A 1:3 ratio of ethanolic lipid mixture to aqueous buffer is generally used.For Example, the composition comprises,1. the ionizable lipid SM-102,2. the phospholipid DSPC (distearoylphosphatidylcholine),3. cholesterol, and4. DMG-PEG 2000.Optionally, a secondary ionizable lipid may be used, such as ALC-0159 or ALC-0315, whichhas a PEG-lipid conjugate. Adose size of 500 μL was composed of 330 μL of mRNA and 170 μL ofethanol / lipid nanoparticle solution. For example, an initial mRNA payload concentration of500 μg / mL was diluted to achieve a desired mass ratio. In some embodiments, the mRNA tolipid mass-to-mass ratio is about 1:10. In some embodiments, the ethanol-to-water ratio maybe about 1:3. The ethanol may be removed after the particle formation via dialysis leavingthe lipid nanoparticles containing mRNA in PBS (phosphate buffered saline). This can then7504-00202 GRH-00462be run through a 220 nm filter to remove any aggregation that may have occurred during thedialysis process.Ethanolic Lipid MixturesThe four primary components comprise a molar ratio of about:50 (SM-102):10 (DSPC):38.5 (Cholesterol):1.5 (PEG-Lipid)The molar ratio may be adjusted to optimally deliver the payload based on this starting ratio. Forexample, •the ionizable lipid rage can be adjusted± 5,• the DSPC can be adjusted± 3,• the cholesterol can be adjusted± 5, and• the DMG-PEG 2000 can be adjusted± 0.5.Individual lipid stock solutions for each of the lipids (i.e., SM-102, DSPC,Cholesterol, and PEG-Lipid) in absolute ethanol were brought to room temperature prior touse, and the lipid mixture prepared as described in Table 2, which yielded 10 syntheses at atotal volume of 5, 0 mL. Amounts were calculated such that the ratio was kept at50:10:38.5:1.5 molar ratio for ionizable lipid, DSPC, cholesterol, and PEG-lipid. Ethanolwas used to dilute to the final volume. For example, 10.0 mg or DSPC was mixed with 400μL ethanol, and so on, in accordance with Table 2 below. The appropriate volume of eachlipid mixture component, as listed in Table 2, was then transferred to a single tube to preparethe ethanolic lipid mixture and pipetted several times to ensure mixing and avoidprecipitation and cloudiness.

(e.g., 7.46 mg / 10= 0.75 mg; for a ratio of 10:1, 0.75 mg / 10 = 0.075 mg= 75 μg).The ethanolic lipid mixture was mixed with mRNA in a microfluidic mixer. The output,comprising the LNPs, were collected and injected into a dialysis cartridge. The cartridge wasdialyzed in fresh PBS buffer to remove ethanol and loose lipids. The buffer was exchanged threetimes and the final LNP product was extracted and placed into a vessel for storage.Example 2: Payload IAn intended payload for the LNPs was an mRNA strand which codes for the proteinHsp70 which is located on the gene HSPAlA.

Such mRNA sequences will comprise modifications to the 5' cap, and, optionally substitutingsome or all of the uridines with pseudouridines, as disclosed herein.Example 6: Dynamic Light Scattering7504-00202 GRH-00462In order for the LNP formulations disclosed herein to be used as an inflammatory,obesity, or NAFLD treatment, each therapeutic particle average must be stable and be equalto or smaller than 120 nm. Particles over 120 nm have a high likelihood of contaminationand / or error and will therefore be discarded. Each DLS reading is performed in triplicate andeach particle size average must be within 5 nm of each reading. Doses of LNP-encapsulatedmRNAs were tested with a Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) machine. In DLS, when laserlight encounters macromolecules in a solution the incident light scatters in all directions andscattering intensity is recorded by a detector. The rate of fluctuations in scattered light isdirectly related to the rate of diffusion of the particle through the solvent, which is related inturn to the particles' hydrodynamic radii. Smaller particles diffuse faster, causing more rapidfluctuations in the intensity than larger particles. Therefore, the fluctuation in light intensitycontains information about the diffusion of the molecules and can be used to extract adiffusion coefficient and calculate a particle size. Continuous DLS data collection showed that the LNP formulations disclosed hereinconsistently comprised particles with a diameter of 110 nm or smaller. In a typical DLSanalysis the Z-Average is the estimated average size of the particles being measured. TheD50 showed that 50% of the particles are the reported size or below. For example, Figure 23shows that 50% of the particles are estimated to be 89.7 nm or below in size (see HistogramOperations: % Cumulative (6), the aforementioned D50). The Count Rate (measured in kilocounts per second (kCPS)) correlates with the concentration of the sample being measured.A Count Rate above 400 kCPS is acceptable for the particles of the invention disclosedherein. Higher Count Rates can indicate a more concentrated dose, i.e., that there are moreparticles containing the MECP2 mRNA. This without being bound by theory ormethodology the higher the concentration, the more effective that dose can be.LNP solutions were filter sterilized with a 0.22 μm filter and stored at 4°C until use.Optionally, the LNPs can be lyophilized and stored at -80°C for long-term storage. DLS testswere run at least in triplicate. Thus, at least three measurements were taken of a sample, asillustrated in the overlay of the Z-Average (measure of the average size of a particle sizedistribution) depicted in Figure 22. Notably, there is little variance among thesemeasurements resulting in a single visible peak. (88.1 nm to 89.7 nm, (all three replicateslaid out over each other). This data does not reflect the average kCPS of all threemeasurements as this output was used to compare triplicate measurements to each other.In addition to testing each batch of doses made, doses were saved to measure the sizechange over time. Such doses were used to measure if the LNPs encapsulating mRNA were7504-00202 GRH-00462aggregating. Even minor aggregation would be detectable. Generally, for DLS measure inintensity, one larger particle can block out many smaller particles and skew the data to showa larger Z-Average and D50 than is actually true. The test sample was prepared and stored at4°C (the temperature at which all tested doses are stored). Particle size was measured atseveral different time points following completion of initial dialysis and filtration. To re-measure, at each time point a portion of sample was applied to a cuvette and read on the DLSmachine and retired, e.g., to a 15 mL conical tube for storage at 4°C again. Results showedthat even after 145 days in storage, there was no aggregation of particles. Thus, the LNPs ofthe invention are stable at 4°C for long periods of time without changing size.In summary, the DLS data showed that particles at 110 nm or smaller can be madeconsistently and are stable over long periods of time. Said particles do not aggregatetogether or change in size over time and can be stored at 4°C with no degradation oraggregation over 145 days of repeated testing. Toxicology mouse testing began with BALB / cJ mice. An experimental group dosedwith 75 μL of LNPs containing HSP70 mRNA and a control group dosed with 75 μL ofEmpty LNPs. The experimental group consisted of 3 BALB / cJ mice that were dosed vialateral tail vein injection every 48 hours. The control group consisted of 2 BALB / cJ micethat were dosed via lateral tail vein injection every 48 hours. All 5 mice were kept in thesame cage, and each mouse was assigned a mouse number.

Commercially available kits, such as the LongAmp® Taq PCR Kit, were used. In asingle reaction mixture, the enzyme LongAmp® Taq DNA polymerase was used to createDNA from a HSP70 plasmid template with the forward and reverse primer pairs disclosedherein (e.g., SEQ ID NOs. 4 and 5, 8 and 9, 12 and 13, and 16 and 17). This double strandedDNA is coded for the HSPAlA gene.Table 12: Synthesis reactions were run with the following thermal cycler parameters.InitialDenature Anneal Extend Final Final HoldDenaturation Extension 1cycle 30 cycles 1 cycle 1 cycle94°c 94°c 52.5°C 65°C 65°C 4°c30 seconds 20 seconds 35 seconds 2 minutes and 10 minutes indefinite15 secondsAfter the cycler finished running, the reaction tubes could be stored at -20°C,otherwise the resultant double-stranded DNA was used immediately for mRNA creation.DNA Agarose Analysis:Samples were prepared for loading onto agarose gel by taking 1 μL of DNA samplewith 3 μL of lX loading dye (4 μL total), pipetted up and down slowly 3-5 times to mix.This was done with each sample run on an agarose gel. A1KB DNA ladder was applied to the first well and the 4 μL samples were added toseparate wells (i.e., up to 9 DNA samples in each agarose gel). Samples were electrophoresed7504-00202 GRH-00462for 1 hour at a constant 100 V. The expected length of the sequence should be ~2100 basepairs which was observed for all 4 samples shown in the HSP70 DNA Agarose Gel of Figure6. The nucleotide sequence of the double-stranded DNA was assessed and confirmed to bethe intended target sequence by Sanger sequencing (i.e., chain termination method) analysis.mRNA SynthesisThe prepared DNA was used in the synthesis of HSP70 mRNA. Commerciallyavailable kits, such as the HiScribe® T7 Quick Yield RNA Synthesis Kit, were used.Thermal cycler reactions were run according to kit manufacture protocols. Once thermal cycling was complete, the mRNA was capped using a Fausto viruscapping enzyme (FCE) and Cap 2'-O-methyltransferase. For each tube 24.2 μL of Nuclease-Free Water was added, followed by 6.5 μL of FCE capping buffer, 3.25 μL of S-Adenosylmethionine (SAM) (32 mM), 3.25 μL of Guanosine triphosphate (GTP) (10 mM), 2.6 μL ofthe FCE enzyme (25, 000 units / mL), and 5.2 μL of Cap 2'-O-methyltransferase (50, 000units / mL) was added in that order, giving a final volume of 65 μL. The tubes were thenincubated in a thermal cycler and set for a 1-hour hold at 37°C followed by an indefinite 4°Chold. RNA purification and concentration following enzymatic reaction was performedusing commercially available kits such as the Monarch® RNA Clean up Kit. Briefly, 100 μLof RNA Binding Buffer was added to the 65 μL mRNA synthesis sample and mixed bypipetting. The total 165 μL of solution was added to the spin column provided with 165 μLof 100% ethanol and carefully pipetted to mix. Spin columns (with collection tubes) werecentrifuged for 1 minute at 13, 000 rpm. Liquid flowthrough (liquid in collection tube) wasremoved and 500 μL of appropriate RNA wash buffer was added to the spin column.Following centrifugation for 1 minute at 13, 000 rpm, the liquid flow through was removed,and the wash repeated at least once more.Following washing, 50-100 μL of nuclease free water was added to the spin column(with a new empty collection tube) and incubated at room temperature for 5 minutes. Afterthe 5- minute incubation, the spin column (with empty collection tube) was centrifuged for 1minute at 13, 000 rpm. The collection tube containing the resultant flowthrough was held at4°C. The purified mRNA from multiple collection tubes were combined and mixed via pipetting.Following collection of purified RNA, the concentration of the combined RNA wasdetermined by using a Nanophotometer. Purified HSP70 RNA could be stored at 4°C until use.7504-00202 GRH-00462mRNA Agarose Gel Analysis:Samples were prepared for loading onto a 1% agarose gel by diluting 1 μL of mRNAto a concentration of about 300-400 μg / mL in nuclease free water. This diluted mRNA wasmixed by slowly pipetting up and down 3-5 times. 1 μL of diluted mRNA sample was addedto 3 μL of 2X RNA loading dye, pipetting up and down slowly 3-5 times to mix.A ssRNA ladder was applied to the first well and the 4 μL sample(s) were added toeach subsequent well. (i.e., synthesized mRNA from a day followed by synthesized mRNAfrom another day). Samples were electrophoresed for 1 hour at a constant 100 V. Multipleseparate HSP70 mRNA synthesis runs yielded identical results and produced mRNA forHSP70 at 2100 bases long in high concentrations (see Figure 7). This mRNA represents thesequence (or payload) disclosed herein and incorporated into the LNPs of the invention. In summary, HSP70 DNA was created from a HSP70 plasmid template. The DNApolymerase enzyme LongAmp® Taq DNA Polymerase was added to the HSP70 plasmidtemplate to create double stranded DNA coding for the HSP70 gene using the appropriateprimers. This 2128 base pair long strand was consistently synthesized as shown in Figure 6.The double-stranded DNA coding for the HSP70 gene was then used to create mRNA, as theforward primer used to synthesize DNA contained a promoter for T7 RNA polymerase. Afterthe mRNA synthesis, a 5' cap was added with a Faustovirus Capping Enzyme (FCE) andCap 2' -0- methyltransferase. After the cap was added, the resultant sequence was thencleaned to remove any impurities such as free-floating nucleotides, enzymes, DNA, etc. Thefully cleaned and capped mRNA is shown in Figure 7 and represents Payload 1 used tocreate a final lipid nanoparticle containing HSP70 mRNA product contemplated herein. H&E-stained slides of sectioned liver from MS-NASH mice dosed with HSP70-LNPs were compared to MS-NASH mice dosed with Empty LNPs. H&E staining ofsectioned liver can reveal lipid accumulation as clear vacuoles in hepatocytes and theseimages illustrated major differences between the two groups of mice. The HSP70-LNP-dosed mice had significantly less steatosis (fat buildup) and hepatocyte ballooning in theliver, as indicated by the significantly lower amount of white space (see Figures 9, 11, and13) relative to the Empty-LNP-dosed mice (control group). (See Figures 8, 10, and 12). Thebrain sections were also compared, but showed no noticeable or significant differencesbetween the two groups. Whole brains and livers were sectioned at 5-micron thick slices and stained with7504-00202 GRH-00462H&E. Slides were imaged on a fluorescent microscope and BALB / cJ mice dosed withHSP70-LNPs (Figures 15 & 17). were compared to BALB / cJ mice dosed with Empty LNPs(Figures 14 & 16). No significant or notable differences between the two groups of mice.Example 15: IHC ImagingTo see how much the HSP70-LNP is increasing HSP70 expression in the liver of theBALB / cJ and MS-NASH mice, immunohistochemistry (IHC) was performed on paraffinembedded tissue sections. Slides of the embedded tissue sections were heated in a dry ovenfor 20 minutes at about 55°C. After this, the slides were placed in a tray and covered with anonpolar solvent, such as Risto-Clear II, and allowed to sit for 5 minutes. After this 5-minutewash, the slides were removed and washed again in the same manner for a total of threewashes. Slides were then subjected to the following wash cycle: 100% Ethanol (2 washes for5 minutes each), 90% Ethanol (1 wash for 5 minutes), 70% Ethanol (1 wash for 5 minutes),and finally DI H20 (1 wash for 5 minutes). After the wash cycle, each slide was placed in a500 mL beaker with enough Tris-EDTA antigen Retrieval solution to comfortably cover eachslide (about 40-80 mL). The slides in the Tris- EDTA solution were then microwaved untilboiling (about 30-45 seconds) and then placed on a preheated hotplate set to 95°C- 100°Cand allowed to sit for 15 minutes.After the 15-minute heating period, the beakers were removed from the hot plate andallowed to come down to room temperature (about 15-25 minutes). After cooling, the slideswere placed in PBS and on a shaker set to 40 rpm at room temperature for 5 minutes.Following this PBS wash, the edges of the slides were dried and nail polish, or a hydrophobicbarrier pen, was used along the edges of the slide to create a barrier. The slides were thenplaced on a wet paper towel in a tray and 600-900 μL of 2% PBS in PBS solution) was thencarefully added to each slide. The slides were then covered and protected from light andallowed to incubate at room temperature for 1 hour. After the incubation period, the 2% PBSsolution was removed, and the slides were placed in PBS and put on a shaker set to 40 rpmfor 5 minutes. The PBS was replaced, and the slides were returned to the shaker for another 5minutes. During these washes, a primary antibody solution was made with an anti-humanHSP70 monoclonal rabbit antibody at a dilution of 1:2, 000 in 0.1% PBS. The slides wereremoved from the PBS wash and placed on a wet paper towel in a tray and 600-900 μL of theprimary antibody solution was carefully pipetted onto each slide. The slides were coveredand protected from light and were incubated at 4°C overnight.After the overnight incubation the slides underwent the same PBS washing procedure7504-00202 GRH-00462for a total of 3 washes. During the PBS washes, a secondary antibody solution was madewith an anti- rabbit secondary antibody tagged with Alexa FluorTM 568 and Hoechst 33342.Both components were diluted in the same 0.1% PBS / PBS solution at a concentration of 1:2,000. After the 3 PBS washes, the slides were placed on a wet paper towel-lined tray andmoved to a dark area and 600-900 μL of the secondary antibody solution was carefullypipetted onto each slide. The slides were covered and protected from light while theyincubated at room temperature for 1 hour. The secondary antibody solution was removed,and the slides were stored in PBS, protected from light, at 4°C until ready for analysis on afluorescent microscope. Prior to imaging, the slides were removed from PBS and allowed todry in a light protected space. Said imaging confirmed HSP70 overexpression (Figures 18-21), which was further confirmed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Example 16: MS-NASH Bloodwork Data Overview:In order to determine the altered levels of relevant components within the blood fromthe MS-NASH mice, blood samples were collected and analyzed using IDEXX'sHematology for Veterinary Diagnostics service. A post-euthanasia cardiac punch wasperformed on the MS- NASH mice for blood collection before being sent off for analysis.The two types of hematology diagnostics that were used were complete blood count (CBC)and expanded toxicology. The CBC test is a method of analysis that evaluates the quantity ofa variety of cells and components in the whole blood. It assists in the diagnosis of certainmedical conditions as it provides data on red blood cell count, platelets, hemoglobin, and therelative concentration of the different typesof white blood cells. The expanded toxicology test provides insight on the varying levels ofrelevant enzymes present in the serum component of the blood. It also assists in the diagnosisof medical conditions due to the insight it provides on liver enzymes, glucose, andcholesterol levels.Table 13LOR: Low (Outside of Range) LWR: Low (Within Range)Average:(Near Mean) HWR: High (Within Range) HOR: High (Outside of Range)Complete Blood Count C57BL / 6, I Average HSP70- Average Em:uty(CBC)Average Levels LNP Dosed LNPDosedEnd:uoint End:uointNeutrophil (K / μL) .98 - 1.44 1.31 - Average 1.1 - Average7504-00202 GRH-00462WBC (K / μL) 6.7 - 8.9 4.1-LOR 5.8 -LORRBC (M / μL) 8.31 - 9.48 8.77 - Average 10.12- HORHGB (g / dL) 12.4 - 14.2 12.4- LWR 13.4 - AverageLymphocyte (K / μL) 5.10 - 6.87 2.814- LOR 4.2-LORPlatelet Count (K / μL) 1094- 1347 471- LOR 534-LORMCHC (g / dL) 27.4 - 30.2 28.15 - Average 26.5 - AverageThe above CBC blood work data displays several key points.

Control MS-NASH mice, receiving empty LNP doses,had higher than average red blood cell counts but average hemoglobin concentrations.Normal MS-NASH mice have oxygen transport issues due to their difficulty breathing andhigh blood pressure from the symptoms induced by obesity (Kosmalski et al, 2018). Thisshows the broad impact and improvement of the experimental group of MS-NASH micetreated with HSP70 mRNA-LNPs as their RBC and HGB levels were significantly lowered incomparison to the control group. The NASH & NAFLD diseases have been linked tocompromised immune systems (Kosmalski et al, 2018). Low WBC, lymphocytes, andplatelet counts are all factors associated with hepatitis and cirrhosis of the liver. Thereforeboth experimental and control groups had decreased levels of lymphocytes and other immunesystem related blood components. Over the short treatment period, these numbers did notchange. In further studies, we predict HSP70 will begin to repair these numbers as the liverheals.Table 14LOR: Low (Outside of Range) LWR: Low (Within Range)Average:(Near Mean) HWR: High (Within Range) HOR: High (Outside of Range)ExpandedC57BL / 6, I Average Average HSP70- Average EmptyToxicologyLevels LNP Dosed LNPDosedEndpoint EndpointALP (U / L) 111-275 69-LOR 81 - LORAST (U / L) 46-392 202 - Average 71 - LWRALT (U / L) 28-129 54 -Average 36.5 - LWRCholesterol (mg / dL) 69-169 130 - Average 162.5 -HWR7504-00202 GRH-00462Glucose (mg / dL) 172-372 372-HWR 543.5 -HORHDL (mg / dL) 57-75 74-HWR 84.5 -HORLDL (mg / dL) 2.5-4.1 8-HOR 15 -HORThe above blood work data displays the ability of HSP70-LNPs to rescue liverfunction inside of NASH affected mice. HSP70-LNPs successfully brought AST and ALTlevels back to normal ranges as well as massively lowering glucose and cholesterol in thesemice. This suggests that HSP70-LNPs anti-inflammatory abilities are able to revitalize theliver and return it to its normal functioning levels.Example 17: MS-NASH Complete Liver Images:Following the full hepatectomy of the HSP70-LNP treated MS-NASH mice and theEmpty LNP treated MS-NASH mice, full liver images were taken to display changes in fatbuild up in the livers. HSP70-LNP treated MS-NASH livers lacked the liver yellowing andfat spots clearly seen on the control empty LNP treated MS-NASH livers. Figures 24-26display the experimental HSP70-LNP treated livers and Figures 27-29 display the controlEmpty LNP treated livers.Example 18: MS-NASH Liver ELISA DataIn order to determine how much HSP70 mRNA-LNPs were increasing HSP70expression in the livers of mice, an ELISA was run on the livers of MS-NASH mice. Thisassay was run with a commercially available HSP70 sandwich ELISA kit from ThermoFisher Scientific. The kit recommended procedure was used for this assay. Tissue sampleswere prepped by first removing the livers of MS-NASH mice (both mice dosed with HSP70mRNA-LNPs and empty LNPs) and storing them at -80°C until the ELISA was run. Thelivers were then placed in a flat bottom conical tube and 1 mL of PBS was added. Then atissue homogenizer was used to blend the organs and PBS for at least 30 seconds, or until novisible tissue chunks were left (the organ was uniformly blended and mixed with the 1 mL ofadded PBS). The tubes were then spun in a centrifuge set to 2, 000-2, 500xg for 5-7 minutes.After the centrifugation, the tubes were inspected to see a visual separation of organ solidsand supernatant. 50 μL of the supernatant was added to 50 μL of antibody diluent in thecorrect wells of a 96 well plate coated with an anti- human HSP70 antibody. As the tissuesamples are added to the 96 well plate, the HSP70 standards are also added to the 96 wellplate. After all samples and standards were added, the ELISA was run according to kitspecifications. See table 15 for results.7504-00202 GRH-00462Table 15Sample Average HSP70 Concentration (ng / mL)HSP70 mRNA-LNP Dosed 9.45Empty LNP Dosed 4.8The ELISA data above shows that HSP70 mRNA-LNPs can almost double theconcentration of HSP70 found in the livers of MS-NASH mice. The concentration pairedwith the whole organ images and H&E stained images suggests that the cause of the liver'shealing and returning to normal functioning is the increased expression of HSP70 in the liverscaused by the HSP70 mRNA-LNPs.INCORPORATION BY REFERENCEAll publications and patents mentioned herein are hereby incorporated by referencein their entirety as if each individual publication or patent was specifically and individuallyindicated to be incorporated by reference.
