AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Current treatments for psoriasis and other inflammatory skin diseases are inadequate due to adverse effects, treatment resistance, long-term safety concerns, variability in response, and high costs, highlighting the need for more effective therapeutic strategies.

Method used

The use of Thiomorpholino (TMO) oligomer-based therapeutics that target specific genes upregulated in psoriasis, such as IL1RL2, S100A8, and S100A9, to inhibit translation and induce exon skipping, thereby reducing inflammation and keratinocyte proliferation.

Benefits of technology

The TMO oligomers effectively downregulate gene expression, reducing inflammation and psoriasis symptoms by blocking key inflammatory pathways, offering a targeted and safer alternative to existing treatments.

Abstract

Use of antisense thiomorpholino oligonucleotides to treat, prevent, or ameliorate the progression of inflammatory skin diseases or conditions such as psoriasis. Specifically, thiomorpholino¬ containing ASOs that target pre-mRNAs associated with inflammatory skin diseases or conditions such as psoriasis.
