Description
BACKGROUND

The STAT (signal transducers and activators of transcription) family of proteins are DNA-binding proteins that play a dual role in signal transduction and activation of transcription. Presently, there are six distinct members of the STAT family (STAT1, STAT2, STAT3, STAT4, STAT5, and STATE) and several isoforms (STAT1α, STAT1β, STAT3 α and STAT3β). The activities of the STATs are modulated by various cytokines and mitogenic stimuli. Binding of a cytokine to its receptor results in the activation of Janus protein tyrosine kinases (JAKs) associated with these receptors. This phosphorylates STAT, resulting in translocation to the nucleus and transcriptional activation of STAT responsive genes. Phosphorylation on a specific tyrosine residue on the STATs results in their activation, resulting in the formation of homodimers and/or heterodimers of STAT which bind to specific gene promoter sequences. Events mediated by cytokines through STAT activation include cell proliferation and differentiation and prevention of apoptosis.


The specificity of STAT activation is due to specific cytokines, i.e., each STAT is responsive to a small number of specific cytokines. Other non-cytokine signaling molecules, such as growth factors, have also been found to activate STATs. Binding of these factors to a cell surface receptor associated with protein tyrosine kinase also results in phosphorylation of STAT.


STAT3 (also acute phase response factor (APRF)), in particular, has been found to be responsive to interleukin-6 (IL-6) as well as epidermal growth factor (EGF) (Darnell, Jr., J. E., et al., Science, 1994, 264, 1415-1421). In addition, STAT3 has been found to have an important role in signal transduction by interferons (Yang, C.-H., et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 1998, 95, 5568-5572). Evidence exists suggesting that STAT3 may be regulated by the MAPK pathway. ERK2 induces serine phosphorylation and also associates with STAT3 (Jain, N., et al., Oncogene, 1998, 17, 3157-3167).


STAT3 is expressed in most cell types (Zhong, Z., et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 1994, 91, 4806-4810). It induces the expression of genes involved in response to tissue injury and inflammation. STAT3 has also been shown to prevent apoptosis through the expression of bcl-2 (Fukada, T., et al., Immunity, 1996, 5, 449-460).


Recently, STAT3 was detected in the mitochondria of transformed cells, and was shown to facilitate glycolytic and oxidative phosphorylation activities similar to that of cancer cells (Gough, D. J., et al., Science, 2009, 324, 1713-1716). The inhibition of STAT3 in the mitochondria impaired malignant transformation by activated Ras. The data confirms a Ras-mediated transformation function for STAT3 in the mitochondria in addition to its nuclear roles.


Aberrant expression of or constitutive expression of STAT3 is associated with a number of disease processes.

Antisense Compounds


Oligomeric compounds include, but are not limited to, oligonucleotides, oligonucleosides, oligonucleotide analogs, oligonucleotide mimetics, antisense compounds, antisense oligonucleotides, and siRNAs. An oligomeric compound may be “antisense” to a target nucleic acid, meaning that is capable of undergoing hybridization to a target nucleic acid through hydrogen bonding.


In certain embodiments, an antisense compound has a nucleobase sequence that, when written in the 5′ to 3′ direction, comprises the reverse complement of the target segment of a target nucleic acid to which it is targeted. In certain such embodiments, an antisense oligonucleotide has a nucleobase sequence that, when written in the 5′ to 3′ direction, comprises the reverse complement of the target segment of a target nucleic acid to which it is targeted.


In certain embodiments, an antisense compound targeted to a STAT3 nucleic acid is 12 to 30 subunits in length. In certain embodiments, an antisense compound targeted to a STAT3 nucleic acid is 14 to 30 subunits in length. In certain embodiments, an antisense compound targeted to a STAT3 nucleic acid is 12 to 22 subunits in length. In other words, such antisense compounds are from 12 to 30 linked subunits, 14 to 30 linked subunits, or 12 to 22 linked subunits, respectively. In other embodiments, the antisense compound is 8 to 80, 12 to 50, 13 to 30, 13 to 50, 14 to 30, 14 to 50, 15 to 30, 15 to 50, 16 to 30, 16 to 50, 17 to 30, 17 to 50, 18 to 22, 18 to 24, 18 to 30, 18 to 50, 19 to 22, 19 to 30, 19 to 50, or 20 to 30 linked subunits. In certain such embodiments, the antisense compounds are 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, or 80 linked subunits in length, or a range defined by any two of the above values. In some embodiments the antisense compound is an antisense oligonucleotide, and the linked subunits are nucleotides.


In certain embodiments antisense oligonucleotides targeted to a STAT3 nucleic acid may be shortened or truncated. For example, a single subunit may be deleted from the 5′ end (5′ truncation), or alternatively from the 3′ end (3′ truncation). A shortened or truncated antisense compound targeted to a STAT3 nucleic acid may have two subunits deleted from the 5′ end, or alternatively may have two subunits deleted from the 3′ end, of the antisense compound. Alternatively, the deleted nucleosides may be dispersed throughout the antisense compound, for example, in an antisense compound having one nucleoside deleted from the 5′ end and one nucleoside deleted from the 3′ end.


When a single additional subunit is present in a lengthened antisense compound, the additional subunit may be located at the 5′ or 3′ end of the antisense compound. When two or more additional subunits are present, the added subunits may be adjacent to each other, for example, in an antisense compound having two subunits added to the 5′ end (5′ addition), or alternatively to the 3′ end (3′ addition), of the antisense compound. Alternatively, the added subunits may be dispersed throughout the antisense compound, for example, in an antisense compound having one subunit added to the 5′ end and one subunit added to the 3′ end.


It is possible to increase or decrease the length of an antisense compound, such as an antisense oligonucleotide, and/or introduce mismatch bases without eliminating activity. For example, in Woolf et al. (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 89:7305-7309, 1992), a series of antisense oligonucleotides 13-25 nucleobases in length were tested for their ability to induce cleavage of a target RNA in an oocyte injection model. Antisense oligonucleotides 25 nucleobases in length with 8 or 11 mismatch bases near the ends of the antisense oligonucleotides were able to direct specific cleavage of the target mRNA, albeit to a lesser extent than the antisense oligonucleotides that contained no mismatches. Similarly, target specific cleavage was achieved using 13 nucleobase antisense oligonucleotides, including those with 1 or 3 mismatches.


Gautschi et al. (J. Natl. Cancer Inst. 93:463-471, March 2001) demonstrated the ability of an oligonucleotide having 100% complementarity to the bcl-2 mRNA and having 3 mismatches to the bcl-xL mRNA to reduce the expression of both bcl-2 and bcl-xL in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, this oligonucleotide demonstrated potent anti-tumor activity in vivo.


Maher and Dolnick (Nuc. Acid. Res. 16:3341-3358, 1988) tested a series of tandem 14 nucleobase antisense oligonucleotides, and a 28 and 42 nucleobase antisense oligonucleotides comprised of the sequence of two or three of the tandem antisense oligonucleotides, respectively, for their ability to arrest translation of human DHFR in a rabbit reticulocyte assay. Each of the three 14 nucleobase antisense oligonucleotides alone was able to inhibit translation, albeit at a more modest level than the 28 or 42 nucleobase antisense oligonucleotides.

Antisense Compound Motifs


In certain embodiments, antisense compounds targeted to a STAT3 nucleic acid have chemically modified subunits arranged in patterns, or motifs, to confer to the antisense compounds properties such as enhanced inhibitory activity, increased binding affinity for a target nucleic acid, or resistance to degradation by in vivo nucleases.


Chimeric antisense compounds typically contain at least one region modified so as to confer increased resistance to nuclease degradation, increased cellular uptake, increased binding affinity for the target nucleic acid, and/or increased inhibitory activity. A second region of a chimeric antisense compound may optionally serve as a substrate for the cellular endonuclease RNase H, which cleaves the RNA strand of an RNA:DNA duplex.


Antisense compounds having a gapmer motif are considered chimeric antisense compounds. In a gapmer an internal region having a plurality of nucleotides that supports RNaseH cleavage is positioned between external regions having a plurality of nucleotides that are chemically distinct from the nucleosides of the internal region. In the case of an antisense oligonucleotide having a gapmer motif, the gap segment generally serves as the substrate for endonuclease cleavage, while the wing segments comprise modified nucleosides. In certain embodiments, the regions of a gapmer are differentiated by the types of sugar moieties comprising each distinct region. The types of sugar moieties that are used to differentiate the regions of a gapmer may in some embodiments include β-D-ribonucleosides, β-D-deoxyribonucleosides, 2′-modified nucleosides (such 2′-modified nucleosides may include 2′-MOE and 2′-O—CH3, among others), and bicyclic sugar modified nucleosides (such bicyclic sugar modified nucleosides may include those having a constrained ethyl). In certain embodiments, wings may include several modified sugar moieties, including, for example 2′-MOE and constrained ethyl. In certain embodiments, wings may include several modified and unmodified sugar moieties. In certain embodiments, wings may include various combinations of 2′-MOE nucleosides, constrained ethyl nucleosides, and 2′-deoxynucleosides.


Each distinct region may comprise uniform sugar moieties, variant, or alternating sugar moieties. The wing-gap-wing motif is frequently described as “X-Y-Z”, where “X” represents the length of the 5′-wing, “Y” represents the length of the gap, and “Z” represents the length of the 3′-wing. “X” and “Z” may comprise uniform, variant, or alternating sugar moieties. In certain embodiments, “X” and “Y” may include one or more 2′-deoxynucleosides.


“Y” may comprise 2′-deoxynucleosides. As used herein, a gapmer described as “X-Y-Z” has a configuration such that the gap is positioned immediately adjacent to each of the 5′-wing and the 3′ wing. Thus, no intervening nucleotides exist between the 5′-wing and gap, or the gap and the 3′-wing. Any of the antisense compounds described herein can have a gapmer motif. In certain embodiments, “X” and “Z” are the same, in other embodiments they are different. In certain embodiments, “Y” is between 8 and 15 nucleosides. X, Y, or Z can be any of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 25, 30 or more nucleosides.

      Target Nucleic Acids, Target Regions and Nucleotide Sequences


Nucleotide sequences that encode STAT3 include, without limitation, the following: GENBANK Accession No. NM_139276.2 (incorporated herein as SEQ ID NO: 1) and the complement of GENBANK Accession No. NT_010755.14 truncated from nucleotides 4185000 to 4264000 (incorporated herein as SEQ ID NO: 2).


It is understood that the sequence set forth in each SEQ ID NO in the Examples contained herein is independent of any modification to a sugar moiety, an internucleoside linkage, or a nucleobase. As such, antisense compounds defined by a SEQ ID NO may comprise, independently, one or more modifications to a sugar moiety, an internucleoside linkage, or a nucleobase. Antisense compounds described by Isis Number (Isis No) indicate a combination of nucleobase sequence and motif.


In certain embodiments, a target region is a structurally defined region of the target nucleic acid. For example, a target region may encompass a 3′ UTR, a 5′ UTR, an exon, an intron, an exon/intron junction, a coding region, a translation initiation region, translation termination region, or other defined nucleic acid region. The structurally defined regions for STAT3 can be obtained by accession number from sequence databases such as NCBI and such information is incorporated herein by reference. In certain embodiments, a target region may encompass the sequence from a 5′ target site of one target segment within the target region to a 3′ target site of another target segment within the same target region.


Targeting includes determination of at least one target segment to which an antisense compound hybridizes, such that a desired effect occurs. In certain embodiments, the desired effect is a reduction in mRNA target nucleic acid levels. In certain embodiments, the desired effect is reduction of levels of protein encoded by the target nucleic acid or a phenotypic change associated with the target nucleic acid.


A target region may contain one or more target segments. Multiple target segments within a target region may be overlapping. Alternatively, they may be non-overlapping. In certain embodiments, target segments within a target region are separated by no more than about 300 nucleotides. In certain embodiments, target segments within a target region are separated by a number of nucleotides that is, is about, is no more than, is no more than about, 250, 200, 150, 100, 90, 80, 70, 60, 50, 40, 30, 20, or 10 nucleotides on the target nucleic acid, or is a range defined by any two of the preceeding values. In certain embodiments, target segments within a target region are separated by no more than, or no more than about, 5 nucleotides on the target nucleic acid. In certain embodiments, target segments are contiguous. Contemplated are target regions defined by a range having a starting nucleic acid that is any of the 5′ target sites or 3′ target sites listed herein.


Suitable target segments may be found within a 5′ UTR, a coding region, a 3′ UTR, an intron, an exon, or an exon/intron junction. Target segments containing a start codon or a stop codon are also suitable target segments. A suitable target segment may specifically exclude a certain structurally defined region such as the start codon or stop codon.


The determination of suitable target segments may include a comparison of the sequence of a target nucleic acid to other sequences throughout the genome. For example, the BLAST algorithm may be used to identify regions of similarity amongst different nucleic acids. This comparison can prevent the selection of antisense compound sequences that may hybridize in a non-specific manner to sequences other than a selected target nucleic acid (i.e., non-target or off-target sequences).


There may be variation in activity (e.g., as defined by percent reduction of target nucleic acid levels) of the antisense compounds within an active target region. In certain embodiments, reductions in STAT3 mRNA levels are indicative of inhibition of STAT3 expression. Reductions in levels of a STAT3 protein are also indicative of inhibition of target mRNA expression. Further, phenotypic changes are indicative of inhibition of STAT3 expression. In certain embodiments, reduced cellular growth, reduced tumor growth, and reduced tumor volume can be indicative of inhibition of STAT3 expression. In certain embodiments, amelioration of symptoms associated with cancer can be indicative of inhibition of STAT3 expression. In certain embodiments, reduction of cachexia is indicative of inhibition of STAT3 expression. In certain embodiments, reduction of cancer markers can be indicative of inhibition of STAT3 expression.


Hybridization


In some embodiments, hybridization occurs between an antisense compound disclosed herein and a STAT3 nucleic acid. The most common mechanism of hybridization involves hydrogen bonding (e.g., Watson-Crick, Hoogsteen or reversed Hoogsteen hydrogen bonding) between complementary nucleobases of the nucleic acid molecules.


Hybridization can occur under varying conditions. Stringent conditions are sequence-dependent and are determined by the nature and composition of the nucleic acid molecules to be hybridized.


Methods of determining whether a sequence is specifically hybridizable to a target nucleic acid are well known in the art. In certain embodiments, the antisense compounds provided herein are specifically hybridizable with a STAT3 nucleic acid.


Complementarity


An antisense compound and a target nucleic acid are complementary to each other when a sufficient number of nucleobases of the antisense compound can hydrogen bond with the corresponding nucleobases of the target nucleic acid, such that a desired effect will occur (e.g., antisense inhibition of a target nucleic acid, such as a STAT3 nucleic acid).


Non-complementary nucleobases between an antisense compound and a STAT3 nucleic acid may be tolerated provided that the antisense compound remains able to specifically hybridize to a target nucleic acid. Moreover, an antisense compound may hybridize over one or more segments of a STAT3 nucleic acid such that intervening or adjacent segments are not involved in the hybridization event (e.g., a loop structure, mismatch or hairpin structure).


In certain embodiments, the antisense compounds provided herein, or a specified portion thereof, are, or are at least, 70%, 80%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, or 100% complementary to a STAT3 nucleic acid, a target region, target segment, or specified portion thereof. Percent complementarity of an antisense compound with a target nucleic acid can be determined using routine methods.


For example, an antisense compound in which 18 of 20 nucleobases of the antisense compound are complementary to a target region, and would therefore specifically hybridize, would represent 90 percent complementarity. In this example, the remaining noncomplementary nucleobases may be clustered or interspersed with complementary nucleobases and need not be contiguous to each other or to complementary nucleobases. As such, an antisense compound which is 18 nucleobases in length having four noncomplementary nucleobases which are flanked by two regions of complete complementarity with the target nucleic acid would have 77.8% overall complementarity with the target nucleic acid and would thus fall within the scope of the present invention. Percent complementarity of an antisense compound with a region of a target nucleic acid can be determined routinely using BLAST programs (basic local alignment search tools) and PowerBLAST programs known in the art (Altschul et al., J. Mol. Biol., 1990, 215, 403 410; Zhang and Madden, Genome Res., 1997, 7, 649 656). Percent homology, sequence identity or complementarity, can be determined by, for example, the Gap program (Wisconsin Sequence Analysis Package, Version 8 for Unix, Genetics Computer Group, University Research Park, Madison Wis.), using default settings, which uses the algorithm of Smith and Waterman (Adv. Appl. Math., 1981, 2, 482 489).


In certain embodiments, the antisense compounds provided herein, or specified portions thereof, are fully complementary (i.e. 100% complementary) to a target nucleic acid, or specified portion thereof. For example, an antisense compound may be fully complementary to a STAT3 nucleic acid, or a target region, or a target segment or target sequence thereof. As used herein, “fully complementary” means each nucleobase of an antisense compound is capable of precise base pairing with the corresponding nucleobases of a target nucleic acid. For example, a 20 nucleobase antisense compound is fully complementary to a target sequence that is 400 nucleobases long, so long as there is a corresponding 20 nucleobase portion of the target nucleic acid that is fully complementary to the antisense compound. Fully complementary can also be used in reference to a specified portion of the first and/or the second nucleic acid. For example, a 20 nucleobase portion of a 30 nucleobase antisense compound can be “fully complementary” to a target sequence that is 400 nucleobases long. The 20 nucleobase portion of the 30 nucleobase oligonucleotide is fully complementary to the target sequence if the target sequence has a corresponding 20 nucleobase portion wherein each nucleobase is complementary to the 20 nucleobase portion of the antisense compound. At the same time, the entire 30 nucleobase antisense compound may or may not be fully complementary to the target sequence, depending on whether the remaining 10 nucleobases of the antisense compound are also complementary to the target sequence.


The location of a non-complementary nucleobase may be at the 5′ end or 3′ end of the antisense compound. Alternatively, the non-complementary nucleobase or nucleobases may be at an internal position of the antisense compound. When two or more non-complementary nucleobases are present, they may be contiguous (i.e. linked) or non-contiguous. In one embodiment, a non-complementary nucleobase is located in the wing segment of a gapmer antisense oligonucleotide.


In certain embodiments, antisense compounds that are, or are up to 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, or 20 nucleobases in length comprise no more than 4, no more than 3, no more than 2, or no more than 1 non-complementary nucleobase(s) relative to a target nucleic acid, such as a STAT3 nucleic acid, or specified portion thereof.


In certain embodiments, antisense compounds that are, or are up to 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, or 30 nucleobases in length comprise no more than 6, no more than 5, no more than 4, no more than 3, no more than 2, or no more than 1 non-complementary nucleobase(s) relative to a target nucleic acid, such as a STAT3 nucleic acid, or specified portion thereof.


The antisense compounds provided herein also include those which are complementary to a portion of a target nucleic acid. As used herein, “portion” refers to a defined number of contiguous (i.e. linked) nucleobases within a region or segment of a target nucleic acid. A “portion” can also refer to a defined number of contiguous nucleobases of an antisense compound. In certain embodiments, the antisense compounds, are complementary to at least an 8 nucleobase portion of a target segment. In certain embodiments, the antisense compounds are complementary to at least a 9 nucleobase portion of a target segment. In certain embodiments, the antisense compounds are complementary to at least a 10 nucleobase portion of a target segment. In certain embodiments, the antisense compounds are complementary to at least an 11 nucleobase portion of a target segment. In certain embodiments, the antisense compounds are complementary to at least a 12 nucleobase portion of a target segment. In certain embodiments, the antisense compounds are complementary to at least a 13 nucleobase portion of a target segment. In certain embodiments, the antisense compounds are complementary to at least a 14 nucleobase portion of a target segment. In certain embodiments, the antisense compounds are complementary to at least a 15 nucleobase portion of a target segment. Also contemplated are antisense compounds that are complementary to at least a 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, or more nucleobase portion of a target segment, or a range defined by any two of these values.


Identity


The antisense compounds provided herein may also have a defined percent identity to a particular nucleotide sequence, SEQ ID NO, or compound represented by a specific Isis number, or portion thereof. As used herein, an antisense compound is identical to the sequence disclosed herein if it has the same nucleobase pairing ability. For example, a RNA which contains uracil in place of thymidine in a disclosed DNA sequence would be considered identical to the DNA sequence since both uracil and thymidine pair with adenine. Shortened and lengthened versions of the antisense compounds described herein as well as compounds having non-identical bases relative to the antisense compounds provided herein also are contemplated. The non-identical bases may be adjacent to each other or dispersed throughout the antisense compound. Percent identity of an antisense compound is calculated according to the number of bases that have identical base pairing relative to the sequence to which it is being compared.


In certain embodiments, the antisense compounds, or portions thereof, are at least 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99% or 100% identical to one or more of the antisense compounds or SEQ ID NOs, or a portion thereof, disclosed herein.


In certain embodiments, a portion of the antisense compound is compared to an equal length portion of the target nucleic acid. In certain embodiments, an 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, or 25 nucleobase portion is compared to an equal length portion of the target nucleic acid.


In certain embodiments, a portion of the antisense oligonucleotide is compared to an equal length portion of the target nucleic acid. In certain embodiments, an 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, or 25 nucleobase portion is compared to an equal length portion of the target nucleic acid.


Modifications


A nucleoside is a base-sugar combination. The nucleobase (also known as base) portion of the nucleoside is normally a heterocyclic base moiety. Nucleotides are nucleosides that further include a phosphate group covalently linked to the sugar portion of the nucleoside. For those nucleosides that include a pentofuranosyl sugar, the phosphate group can be linked to the 2′, 3′ or 5′ hydroxyl moiety of the sugar. Oligonucleotides are formed through the covalent linkage of adjacent nucleosides to one another, to form a linear polymeric oligonucleotide. Within the oligonucleotide structure, the phosphate groups are commonly referred to as forming the internucleoside linkages of the oligonucleotide.


Modifications to antisense compounds encompass substitutions or changes to internucleoside linkages, sugar moieties, or nucleobases. Modified antisense compounds are often preferred over native forms because of desirable properties such as, for example, enhanced cellular uptake, enhanced affinity for nucleic acid target, increased stability in the presence of nucleases, or increased inhibitory activity.


Chemically modified nucleosides may also be employed to increase the binding affinity of a shortened or truncated antisense oligonucleotide for its target nucleic acid. Consequently, comparable results can often be obtained with shorter antisense compounds that have such chemically modified nucleosides.


Modified Internucleoside Linkages


The naturally occurring internucleoside linkage of RNA and DNA is a 3′ to 5′ phosphodiester linkage. Antisense compounds having one or more modified, i.e. non-naturally occurring, internucleoside linkages are often selected over antisense compounds having naturally occurring internucleoside linkages because of desirable properties such as, for example, enhanced cellular uptake, enhanced affinity for target nucleic acids, and increased stability in the presence of nucleases.


Oligonucleotides having modified internucleoside linkages include internucleoside linkages that retain a phosphorus atom as well as internucleoside linkages that do not have a phosphorus atom. Representative phosphorus containing internucleoside linkages include, but are not limited to, phosphodiesters, phosphotriesters, methylphosphonates, phosphoramidate, and phosphorothioates. Methods of preparation of phosphorous-containing and non-phosphorous-containing linkages are well known.


In certain embodiments, antisense compounds targeted to a STAT3 nucleic acid comprise one or more modified internucleoside linkages. In certain embodiments, the modified internucleoside linkages are phosphorothioate linkages. In certain embodiments, each internucleoside linkage of an antisense compound is a phosphorothioate internucleoside linkage.


Modified Sugar Moieties


Antisense compounds provided herein can optionally contain one or more nucleosides wherein the sugar group has been modified. Such sugar modified nucleosides may impart enhanced nuclease stability, increased binding affinity, or some other beneficial biological property to the antisense compounds. In certain embodiments, nucleosides comprise a chemically modified ribofuranose ring moiety. Examples of chemically modified ribofuranose rings include, without limitation, addition of substitutent groups (including 5′ and 2′ substituent groups); bridging of non-geminal ring atoms to form bicyclic nucleic acids (BNA); replacement of the ribosyl ring oxygen atom with S, N(R), or C(R1)(R)2 (R=H, C1-C12 alkyl or a protecting group); and combinations thereof. Examples of chemically modified sugars include, 2′-F-5′-methyl substituted nucleoside (see, PCT International Application WO 2008/101157, published on Aug. 21, 2008 for other disclosed 5′,2′-bis substituted nucleosides), replacement of the ribosyl ring oxygen atom with S with further substitution at the 2′-position (see, published U.S. Patent Application US2005/0130923, published on Jun. 16, 2005), or, alternatively, 5′-substitution of a BNA (see, PCT International Application WO 2007/134181, published on Nov. 22, 2007, wherein LNA is substituted with, for example, a 5′-methyl or a 5′-vinyl group).


Examples of nucleosides having modified sugar moieties include, without limitation, nucleosides comprising 5′-vinyl, 5′-methyl (R or S), 4′-S, 2′-F, 2′-OCH3, and 2′-O(CH2)2OCH3 substituent groups. The substituent at the 2′ position can also be selected from allyl, amino, azido, thio, O-allyl, O—C1-C10 alkyl, OCF3, O(CH2)2SCH3, O(CH2)2—O—N(Rm)(Rn), and O—CH2—C(═O)—N(Rm)(Rn), where each Rm and Rn is, independently, H or substituted or unsubstituted C1-C10 alkyl.


As used herein, “bicyclic nucleosides” refer to modified nucleosides comprising a bicyclic sugar moiety. Examples of bicyclic nucleosides include, without limitation, nucleosides comprising a bridge between the 4′ and the 2′ ribosyl ring atoms. In certain embodiments, antisense compounds provided herein include one or more bicyclic nucleosides wherein the bridge comprises a 4′ to 2′ bicyclic nucleoside. Examples of such 4′ to 2′ bicyclic nucleosides, include, but are not limited to, one of the formulae: 4′-(CH2)—O-2′ (LNA); 4′-(CH2)—S-2; 4′-(CH2)2—O-2′ (ENA); 4′-CH(CH3)—O-2′ and 4′-CH(CH2OCH3)—O-2′, and analogs thereof (see, U.S. Pat. No. 7,399,845, issued on Jul. 15, 2008); 4′-C(CH3)(CH3)—O-2′, and analogs thereof (see, published PCT International Application WO2009/006478, published Jan. 8, 2009); 4′-CH2—N(OCH3)-2′, and analogs thereof (see, published PCT International Application WO2008/150729, published Dec. 11, 2008); 4′-CH2—O—N(CH3)-2′ (see, published U.S. Patent Application US2004/0171570, published Sep. 2, 2004); 4′-CH2—N(R)—O-2′, wherein R is H, C1-C12 alkyl, or a protecting group (see, U.S. Pat. No. 7,427,672, issued on Sep. 23, 2008); 4′-CH2—C(H)(CH3)-2′ (see, Chattopadhyaya, et al., J. Org. Chem., 2009, 74, 118-134); and 4′-CH2—C(═CH2)-2′, and analogs thereof (see, published PCT International Application WO 2008/154401, published on Dec. 8, 2008).

In certain embodiments, bicyclic nucleosides are further defined by isomeric configuration. For example, a nucleoside comprising a 4′-2′ methylene-oxy bridge, may be in the α-L configuration or in the β-D configuration. Previously, α-L-methyleneoxy (4′-CH2—O-2′) BNA's have been incorporated into antisense oligonucleotides that showed antisense activity (Frieden et al., Nucleic Acids Research, 2003, 21, 63 65-6372).

A pharmaceutically acceptable diluent includes phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). PBS is a diluent suitable for use in compositions to be delivered parenterally. Accordingly, in one embodiment, employed in the methods described herein is a pharmaceutical composition comprising an antisense compound targeted to a STAT3 nucleic acid and a pharmaceutically acceptable diluent. In certain embodiments, the pharmaceutically acceptable diluent is PBS. In certain embodiments, the antisense compound is an antisense oligonucleotide.

Included in stabilizing groups are cap structures. These terminal modifications protect the antisense compound having terminal nucleic acid from exonuclease degradation, and can help in delivery and/or localization within a cell. The cap can be present at the 5′-terminus (5′-cap), or at the 3′-terminus (3′-cap), or can be present on both termini. Cap structures are well known in the art and include, for example, inverted deoxy abasic caps. Further 3′ and 5′-stabilizing groups that can be used to cap one or both ends of an antisense compound to impart nuclease stability include those disclosed in WO 03/004602 published on Jan. 16, 2003.


Cell Culture and Antisense Compounds Treatment


The effects of antisense compounds on the level, activity or expression of STAT3 nucleic acids can be tested in vitro in a variety of cell types. Cell types used for such analyses are available from commerical vendors (e.g. American Type Culture Collection, Manassus, Va.; Zen-Bio, Inc., Research Triangle Park, N.C.; Clonetics Corporation, Walkersville, Md.) and are cultured according to the vendor's instructions using commercially available reagents (e.g. Invitrogen Life Technologies, Carlsbad, Calif.).

In Vitro Testing of Antisense Oligonucleotides


Described herein are methods for treatment of cells with antisense oligonucleotides, which can be modified appropriately for treatment with other antisense compounds.


Cells may be treated with antisense oligonucleotides when the cells reach approximately 60-80% confluency in culture.


One reagent commonly used to introduce antisense oligonucleotides into cultured cells includes the cationic lipid transfection reagent LIPOFECTIN (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, Calif.). Antisense oligonucleotides may be mixed with LIPOFECTIN in OPTI-MEM 1 (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, Calif.) to achieve the desired final concentration of antisense oligonucleotide and a LIPOFECTIN concentration that may range from 2 to 12 ug/mL per 100 nM antisense oligonucleotide.


Another reagent used to introduce antisense oligonucleotides into cultured cells includes LIPOFECTAMINE (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, Calif.).

Another technique used to introduce antisense oligonucleotides into cultured cells includes electroporation.


Cells are treated with antisense oligonucleotides by routine methods. Cells may be harvested 16-24 hours after antisense oligonucleotide treatment, at which time RNA or protein levels of target nucleic acids are measured by methods known in the art and described herein. In general, when treatments are performed in multiple replicates, the data are presented as the average of the replicate treatments.


The concentration of antisense oligonucleotide used varies from cell line to cell line. Methods to determine the optimal antisense oligonucleotide concentration for a particular cell line are well known in the art. Antisense oligonucleotides are typically used at concentrations ranging from 1 nM to 300 nM when transfected with LIPOFECTAMINE. Antisense oligonucleotides are used at higher concentrations ranging from 625 to 20,000 nM when transfected using electroporation.


Free Uptake Assays


In certain embodiments, transfection-independent activity (i.e., free uptake) of antisense oligonucleotides in cancer cell lines is a measure of potency. Free uptake may be measured in cancer cell lines such as, for example, SK-BR-3 cells, U251-MG cells, MDA-MB-231 cells, H460 cells, A431 cells, colo205 cells, SNB-19 cells, SK-OV3 cells, H1993 lung cancer cells, H358 lung cancer cells, PC-9 lung cancer cells, KHM-35 lung cancer cells, Capan-1 pancreatic cancer cells, HPAF-11 pancreatic cancer cells, and Colo 201 colorectal cancer cells.


In free uptake assays, antisense oligonucleotides are administered to cells lines without the aid of a transfection agent or electroporation. Antisense oligonucleotides are administered to cell lines at one or more doses and percent inhbition of target mRNA or protein expression is meausred. Where multiple doses are administered, IC50 may be measured. In certain embodiments, antisense oligonucleotides exhibiting a high degree of potency, as measured by percent inhbition after single dose or multiple doses, are preferred over antisense oligonucleotides exhibiting a lower degree of potency. Those antisense oligonucleotides exhibiting a high degree of in vitro potency are more likely to exhibit in vivo potency.


RNA Isolation


RNA Analysis can be performed on total cellular RNA or poly(A)+ mRNA. Methods of RNA isolation are well known in the art. RNA is prepared using methods well known in the art, for example, using the TRIZOL Reagent (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, Calif.) according to the manufacturer's recommended protocols.


Analysis of Inhibition of Target Levels or Expression


Inhibition of levels or expression of a STAT3 nucleic acid can be assayed in a variety of ways known in the art. For example, target nucleic acid levels can be quantitated by, e.g., Northern blot analysis, competitive polymerase chain reaction (PCR), or quantitaive real-time PCR. RNA analysis can be performed on total cellular RNA or poly(A)+ mRNA. Methods of RNA isolation are well known in the art. Northern blot analysis is also routine in the art. Quantitative real-time PCR can be conveniently accomplished using the commercially available ABI PRISM 7600, 7700, or 7900 Sequence Detection System, available from PE-Applied Biosystems, Foster City, Calif. and used according to manufacturer's instructions.


Quantitative Real-Time PCR Analysis of Target RNA Levels


Quantitation of target RNA levels may be accomplished by quantitative real-time PCR using the ABI PRISM 7600, 7700, or 7900 Sequence Detection System (PE-Applied Biosystems, Foster City, Calif.) according to manufacturer's instructions. Methods of quantitative real-time PCR are well known in the art.


Prior to real-time PCR, the isolated RNA is subjected to a reverse transcriptase (RT) reaction, which produces complementary DNA (cDNA) that is then used as the substrate for the real-time PCR amplification. The RT and real-time PCR reactions are performed sequentially in the same sample well. RT and real-time PCR reagents may be obtained from Invitrogen (Carlsbad, Calif.). RT real-time-PCR reactions are carried out by methods well known to those skilled in the art.


Gene (or RNA) target quantities obtained by real time PCR are normalized using either the expression level of a gene whose expression is constant, such as cyclophilin A, or by quantifying total RNA using RIBOGREEN (Invitrogen, Inc. Carlsbad, Calif.). Cyclophilin A expression is quantified by real time PCR, by being run simultaneously with the target, multiplexing, or separately. Total RNA is quantified using RIBOGREEN RNA quantification reagent (Invetrogen, Inc. Eugene, Oreg.). Methods of RNA quantification by RIBOGREEN are taught in Jones, L. J., et al, (Analytical Biochemistry, 1998, 265, 368-374). A CYTOFLUOR4000 instrument (PE Applied Biosystems) is used to measure RIBOGREEN fluorescence.


Probes and primers are designed to hybridize to a STAT3 nucleic acid. Methods for designing real-time PCR probes and primers are well known in the art, and may include the use of software such as PRIMER EXPRESS Software (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, Calif.).


Analysis of Protein Levels


Antisense inhibition of STAT3 nucleic acids can be assessed by measuring STAT3 protein levels. Protein levels of STAT3 can be evaluated or quantitated in a variety of ways well known in the art, such as immunoprecipitation, Western blot analysis (immunoblotting), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), quantitative protein assays, protein activity assays (for example, caspase activity assays), immunohistochemistry, immunocytochemistry or fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS). Antibodies directed to a target can be identified and obtained from a variety of sources, such as the MSRS catalog of antibodies (Aerie Corporation, Birmingham, Mich.), or can be prepared via conventional monoclonal or polyclonal antibody generation methods well known in the art. Antibodies useful for the detection of mouse, rat, monkey, and human STAT3 are commercially available.


In Vivo Testing of Antisense Compounds


Antisense compounds, for example, antisense oligonucleotides, are tested in animals to assess their ability to inhibit expression of STAT3 and produce phenotypic changes, such as, reduced cellular growth, amelioration of symptoms associated with cancer, reduction of cachexia, and reduction of cancer markers. Testing may be performed in normal animals, or in experimental disease models. For administration to animals, antisense oligonucleotides are formulated in a pharmaceutically acceptable diluent, such as phosphate-buffered saline. Administration includes parenteral routes of administration, such as intraperitoneal, intravenous, subcutaneous, intrathecal, and intracerebroventricular. Calculation of antisense oligonucleotide dosage and dosing frequency is within the abilities of those skilled in the art, and depends upon factors such as route of administration and animal body weight. Following a period of treatment with antisense oligonucleotides, RNA is isolated from liver tissue and changes in STAT3 nucleic acid expression are measured. Changes in STAT3 protein levels are also measured.


In certain embodiments, xenograft tumor models are used to measure the effect of antisense oligonucleotides on tumor growth and metastasis. In xenograft tumor model described herein, cells from a cancerous cell line are inoculated into an animal. Such cell lines may include, for example, human breast cancer cells, MDA-MB-231, A431 human epidermoid carcinoma, U251 human glioma tumor cells, and human NCI-H460 non-small cell lung carcinoma cells. Certain compounds described herein and used in xenograft models described herein may target human STAT3, mouse STAT3, rat STAT3, and/or monkey STAT3. Certain compounds described herein and used in xenograft models described herein may cross-react with one or more species STAT3. In certain embodiments, compounds described herein and used in xenograft models described herein may be more potent inhibitors of tumor growth and tumor volume than the data suggests wherein endogenous STAT3 is not reduced (due to lack of cross-reactivity).

EXAMPLES
Non-Limiting Disclosure and Incorporation by Reference

While certain compounds, compositions and methods described herein have been described with specificity in accordance with certain embodiments, the following examples serve only to illustrate the compounds described herein and are not intended to limit the same. Each of the references recited in the present application is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.


Example 1
Antisense Inhibition of Human STAT3 in HuVEC Cells

Antisense oligonucleotides were designed targeting a human STAT3 nucleic acid and were tested for their effect on human STAT3 mRNA expression in vitro. The chimeric antisense oligonucleotides presented in Tables 1 and 2 were designed as either 2-10-2 cEt gapmers or 3-10-3 cEt gapmers. The 2-10-2 cEt gapmers are 14 nucleotides in length, wherein the central gap segment comprises ten 2′-deoxynucleosides and is flanked on both sides (in the 5′ and 3′ directions) by wings comprising two nucleosides each. The 3-10-3 cEt gapmers are 16 nucleosides in length, wherein the central gap segment comprises ten 2′-deoxynucleosides and is flanked on both sides (in the 5′ and 3′ directions) by wings comprising three nucleosides each. Each nucleoside in the 5′ wing segment and each nucleoside in the 3′ wing segment has an cEt sugar modification. The internucleoside linkages throughout each gapmer are phosphorothioate (P═S) linkages. All cytosine residues throughout each gapmer are 5′-methylcytosines.


Potency of cEt gapmers was compared to ISIS 337332, ISIS 337333, and ISIS 345785, which are 5-10-5 MOE gapmers targeting human STAT3 and are further described in U.S. Pat. No. 7,307,069, incorporated herein by reference.


Cultured HuVEC cells at a density of 20,000 cells per well were transfected using electroporation with 1,000 nM antisense oligonucleotide. After a treatment period of approximately 24 hours, RNA was isolated from the cells and STAT3 mRNA levels were measured by quantitative real-time PCR. Human primer probe set RTS199 (forward sequence ACATGCCACTTTGGTGTTTCATAA, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 6; reverse sequence TCTTCGTAGATTGTGCTGATAGAGAAC, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 7; probe sequence CAGTATAGCCGCTTCCTGCAAGAGTCGAA, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 8) was used to measure mRNA levels. STAT3 mRNA levels were adjusted according to total RNA content, as measured by RIBOGREEN®. Results are presented as percent inhibition of STAT3, relative to untreated control cells. All cEt gapmers and MOE gapmers were tested under the same conditions.


“Human Target start site” indicates the 5′-most nucleoside to which the gapmer is targeted in the human gene sequence. “Human Target stop site” indicates the 3′-most nucleoside to which the gapmer is targeted human gene sequence. Each gapmer listed in Table 1 is targeted to human STAT3 mRNA, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 1 (GENBANK Accession No. NM_139276.2). Each gapmer listed in Table 2 is targeted to the human STAT3 genomic sequence, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 2 (the complement of GENBANK Accession No. NT_010755.14 truncated from nucleotides 4185000 to 4264000).

Example 2
Antisense Inhibition of Murine STAT3 in b.END Cells

Antisense oligonucleotides tested in the study described in Example 1 were also tested for their effects on STAT3 mRNA in b.END cells. Cultured b.END cells at a density of 20,000 cells per well were transfected using electroporation with 7,000 nM antisense oligonucleotide. After a treatment period of approximately 24 hours, RNA was isolated from the cells and STAT3 mRNA levels were measured by quantitative real-time PCR. Murine primer probe set RTS2381 (forward sequence GCCACGTTGGTGTTTCATAATCT, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 465; reverse sequence GATAGAGGACATTGGACTCTTGCA, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 466; probe sequence TTGGGTGAAATTGACCAGCAATATAGCCG, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 467) was used to measure RNA. STAT3 mRNA levels were adjusted according to total RNA content, as measured by RIBOGREEN®.


Certain sequences complementary to the STAT3 mouse gene sequence showed good inhibition in b. END cells. Results are presented in Table 3 as percent inhibition of STAT3, relative to untreated control cells. The human oligonucleotides in Table 3 were compared to the mouse STAT-3 genomic sequence, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 3 (the complement of GENBANK Accession No. NT_165773.2 truncated from nucleotides 12286001 to 12344000). “Mouse Target start site” indicates the 5′-most nucleotide to which the gapmer is targeted in the murine sequence. “Mouse Target stop site” indicates the 3′-most nucleotide to which the gapmer is targeted murine sequence.

Example 3
Tolerability of Antisense Oligonucleotides Targeting STAT3 in BALB/c Mice

Forty antisense oligonucleotides exhibiting a high level of potency, selected from among the 452 compounds evaluated in Example 1, were further tested for in vivo tolerability.


Groups of 2-4 male BALB/c mice were injected subcutaneously twice a week for 3 weeks with 25 mg/kg of ISIS antisense oligonucleotides. One group of 4 male BALB/c mice was injected subcutaneously twice a week for 3 weeks with PBS. This group of mice was utilized as a control group to which the treatment groups were compared. One day after the last dose, body weights were taken, mice were euthanized, and organs and plasma were harvested for further analysis.


The body weights of the mice were measured pre-dose and at the end of the treatment period. Percent increase over the initial body weight was calculated. Liver, spleen, and kidney weights were measured at the end of the study and were compared to PBS treated mice.


To evaluate the effect of ISIS oligonucleotides on metabolic function, plasma concentrations of transaminases and BUN were measured using an automated clinical chemistry analyzer (Hitachi Olympus AU400e, Melville, N.Y.). Plasma concentrations of ALT (alanine transaminase), AST (aspartate transaminase), and BUN were measured.


Among the forty antisense oligonucleotides tested, certain antisense oligonucleotides, including ISIS 481374, ISIS 481390, ISIS 481420, ISIS 481431, ISIS 481453, ISIS 481464, ISIS 481475, ISIS 481495, ISIS 481500, ISIS 481501, ISIS 481525, ISIS 481548, ISIS 481549, ISIS 481597, ISIS 481695, ISIS 481700, ISIS 481702, ISIS 481710, ISIS 481725, ISIS 481750, and ISIS 481763 met tolerability thresholds for body weight, organ weight, ALT, AST, and BUN parameters.


Example 4
Dose-Dependent Antisense Inhibition of Human STAT3 in HuVEC Cells

Gapmers from Examples 1 and 2 exhibiting significant in vitro inhibition of STAT3 were tested at various doses in HuVEC cells. Cells were plated at a density of 20,000 cells per well and transfected using electroporation with 31.25 nM, 62.5 nM, 125 nM, 250 nM, 500 nM, and 1,0000 nM concentrations of antisense oligonucleotide, as specified in Table 4. After a treatment period of approximately 16 hours, RNA was isolated from the cells and STAT3 mRNA levels were measured by quantitative real-time PCR. Human STAT3 primer probe set RTS199 (forward sequence ACATGCCACTTTGGTGTTTCATAA, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 6; reverse sequence TCTTCGTAGATTGTGCTGATAGAGAAC, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 7; probe sequence CAGTATAGCCGCTTCCTGCAAGAGTCGAA, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 8) was used to measure mRNA levels. STAT3 mRNA levels were adjusted according to total RNA content, as measured by RIBOGREEN®. Results are presented as percent inhibition of STAT3, relative to untreated control cells.


The half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of each oligonucleotide is also presented in Table 4 and was calculated by plotting the concentrations of oligonucleotides used versus the percent inhibition of STAT3 mRNA expression achieved at each concentration and noting the concentration of oligonucleotide at which 50% inhibition of STAT3 mRNA expression was achieved compared to the control. As illustrated in Table 4, STAT3 mRNA levels were significantly reduced in a dose-dependent manner in antisense oligonucleotide treated cells.

Example 11
Antisense Inhibition of Human STAT3 in HuVEC Cells

Antisense oligonucleotides were designed targeting a human STAT3 nucleic acid and were tested for their effect on human STAT3 mRNA expression in vitro. Cultured HuVEC cells at a density of 20,000 cells per well were transfected using electroporation with 1,000 nM antisense oligonucleotide. After a treatment period of approximately 24 hours, RNA was isolated from the cells and STAT3 mRNA levels were measured by quantitative real-time PCR. Human primer probe set RTS199 (forward sequence ACATGCCACTTTGGTGTTTCATAA, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 6; reverse sequence TCTTCGTAGATTGTGCTGATAGAGAAC, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 7; probe sequence CAGTATAGCCGCTTCCTGCAAGAGTCGAA, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 8) was used to measure mRNA levels. STAT3 mRNA levels were adjusted according to total RNA content, as measured by RIBOGREEN®. Results are presented as percent inhibition of STAT3, relative to untreated control cells.


The chimeric antisense oligonucleotides in Table 11 were designed as 3-10-3 MOE, deoxy, and cEt gapmers. The gapmers are 16 nucleotides in length, wherein the central gap segment comprises of ten 2′-deoxynucleosides and is flanked on both sides (in the 5′ and 3′ directions) by wings comprising three nucleosides each. Each nucleoside in the 5′-wing segment has a 2′-MOE sugar modification. Each nucleoside in the 3′-wing segment has a cEt sugar modification. The internucleoside linkages throughout each gapmer are phosphorothioate (P═S) linkages. All cytosine residues throughout each gapmer are 5′-methylcytosines. The chemistry column of Table 11 presents the sugar motif of each gapmer, wherein ‘e’ indicates a 2′-MOE nucleoside, ‘k’ indicates a constrained ethyl (cEt) nucleoside, and ‘d’ indicates a 2′-deoxynucleoside.


“Human Target start site” indicates the 5′-most nucleoside to which the gapmer is targeted in the human gene sequence. “Human Target stop site” indicates the 3′-most nucleoside to which the gapmer is targeted in the human gene sequence. Each gapmer listed in Table 11 is targeted to human STAT3 mRNA, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 1 (GENBANK Accession No. NM_139276.2).

Example 12
Dose-Dependent Antisense Inhibition of Human STAT3 in HuVEC Cells

Gapmers from the study described in Example 11, above, exhibiting significant in vitro inhibition of STAT3 were tested at various doses in HuVEC cells. Cells were plated at a density of 20,000 cells per well and transfected using electroporation with 23.4375 nM, 93.75 nM, 375.0 nM, and 1,500.0 nM concentrations of antisense oligonucleotide, as specified in Table 12. After a treatment period of approximately 16 hours, RNA was isolated from the cells and STAT3 mRNA levels were measured by quantitative real-time PCR. Human STAT3 primer probe set RTS199, described hereinabove, was used to measure mRNA levels. STAT3 mRNA levels were adjusted according to total RNA content, as measured by RIBOGREEN®. Results are presented as percent inhibition of STAT3, relative to untreated control cells.


The half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of each oligonucleotide is also presented in Table 12 and was calculated by plotting the concentrations of oligonucleotides used versus the percent inhibition of STAT3 mRNA expression achieved at each concentration, and noting the concentration of oligonucleotide at which 50% inhibition of STAT3 mRNA expression was achieved compared to the control. As illustrated in Table 12, STAT3 mRNA levels were significantly reduced in a dose-dependent manner in antisense oligonucleotide treated cells.

Example 13
Antisense Inhibition of Human STAT3 in HuVEC Cells

Antisense oligonucleotides were designed targeting a human STAT3 nucleic acid and were tested for their effect on human STAT3 mRNA expression in vitro. The chimeric antisense oligonucleotides in Tables 13 and 14 are gapmers 16 or 17 nucleotides in length having various chemical modifications. Each gapmer comprises a central gap segment consisting of nine or ten 2′-deoxynucleosides and is flanked on both sides (in the 5′ and 3′ directions) by wings comprising 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 nucleotides each. Each of the nucleotides in the wings comprise a 2′-MOE sugar modification or a cEt sugar modification. Gapmer motifs include 3-10-3, 4-9-3, 2-10-4, 1-10-5, and 3-10-4. The chemistry column of Tables 13 and 14 provides the sugar motif of each gapmer, wherein ‘e’ indicates a 2′-MOE nucleoside, ‘k’ indicates a constrained ethyl (cEt) nucleoside, and ‘d’ indicates a 2′-deoxynucleoside. The internucleoside linkages throughout each gapmer are phosphorothioate (P═S) linkages. All cytosine residues throughout each gapmer are 5′-methylcytosines.


Potency of the chimeric antisense oligonucleotides was compared to ISIS 481464, ISIS 518344, and ISIS 518349 (described previously herein).


Cultured HuVEC cells at a density of 20,000 cells per well were transfected using electroporation with 1,000 nM antisense oligonucleotide. After a treatment period of approximately 24 hours, RNA was isolated from the cells and STAT3 mRNA levels were measured by quantitative real-time PCR. Human primer probe set RTS199, described hereinabove, was used to measure mRNA levels. STAT3 mRNA levels were adjusted according to total RNA content, as measured by RIBOGREEN®. Results are presented as percent inhibition of STAT3, relative to untreated control cells.


“Human Target start site” indicates the 5′-most nucleoside to which the gapmer is targeted in the human gene sequence. “Human Target stop site” indicates the 3′-most nucleoside to which the gapmer is targeted in the human gene sequence. Each gapmer listed in Table 13 is targeted to human STAT3 mRNA, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 1 (GENBANK Accession No. NM_139276.2). Each gapmer listed in Table 14 is targeted to human STAT3 genomic sequence, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 2 (the complement of GENBANK Accession No. NT_010755.14 truncated from nucleotides 4185000 to 4264000).

Example 14
Dose-Dependent Antisense Inhibition of Human STAT3 in HuVEC Cells

Gapmers from the study described in Example 13 exhibiting significant in vitro inhibition of STAT3 were tested at various doses in HuVEC cells. Cells were plated at a density of 20,000 cells per well and transfected using electroporation with 39.1 nM, 156.3 nM, 625.0 nM, and 2,500.0 nM concentrations of antisense oligonucleotide, as specified in Table 15. After a treatment period of approximately 16 hours, RNA was isolated from the cells and STAT3 mRNA levels were measured by quantitative real-time PCR. Human STAT3 primer probe set RTS199, described hereinabove, was used to measure mRNA levels. STAT3 mRNA levels were adjusted according to total RNA content, as measured by RIBOGREEN®. Results are presented as percent inhibition of STAT3, relative to untreated control cells.


The half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of each oligonucleotide is also presented in Table 15. As illustrated in Table 15, STAT3 mRNA levels were significantly reduced in a dose-dependent manner in antisense oligonucleotide treated cells.

Example 15
Antisense Inhibition of Human STAT3 in HuVEC Cells

Additional antisense oligonucleotides were designed targeting a STAT3 nucleic acid and were tested for their effects on STAT3 mRNA in vitro. Cultured HuVEC cells at a density of 20,000 cells per well were transfected using electroporation with 1,000 nM antisense oligonucleotide. After a treatment period of approximately 24 hours, RNA was isolated from the cells and STAT3 mRNA levels were measured by quantitative real-time PCR. Human primer probe set RTS199, described hereinabove, was used to measure mRNA levels. STAT3 mRNA levels were adjusted according to total RNA content, as measured by RIBOGREEN®. Results are presented as percent inhibition of STAT3, relative to untreated control cells.


The chimeric antisense oligonucleotides in Table 16 are 3-10-3 deoxy, MOE and cEt gapmers or 3-10-4 deoxy, MOE and cEt gapmers. The 3-10-3 gapmers are 16 nucleosides in length, wherein the central gap segment comprises ten 2′-deoxynucleosides and is flanked on both sides (in the 5′ and 3′ directions) by wings comprising 3 nucleosides each. The 3-10-4 gapmers are 17 nucleosides in length, wherein the central gap segment comprises ten 2′-deoxynucleosides and is flanked on the 5′ directions by a wing comprising 3 nucleosides and on the 3′ direction by a wing comprising 4 nucleosides. The internucleoside linkages throughout each gapmer are phosphorothioate (P═S) linkages. All cytosine residues throughout each gapmer are 5′-methylcytosines. The chemistry column of Table 16 presents the sugar motif of each gapmer, where ‘e’ indicates a 2′-MOE nucleoside, ‘k’ indicates a constrained ethyl (cEt) nucleoside, and ‘d’ indicates a 2′-deoxynucleoside.


“Human Target start site” indicates the 5′-most nucleoside to which the gapmer is targeted in the human gene sequence. “Human Target stop site” indicates the 3′-most nucleoside to which the gapmer is targeted in the human gene sequence. Each gapmer listed in Table 16 is targeted to human STAT3 mRNA, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 1 (GENBANK Accession No. NM_139276.2). Each gapmer listed in Table 17 is targeted to human STAT3 genomic sequence, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 2 (the complement of GENBANK Accession No. NT_010755.14 truncated from nucleotides 4185000 to 4264000).

Example 16
Dose-Dependent Antisense Inhibition of Human STAT3 in HuVEC Cells

Gapmers from the study described in Example 15 exhibiting significant in vitro inhibition of STAT3 were tested at various doses in HuVEC cells. Cells were plated at a density of 20,000 cells per well and transfected using electroporation with 39.1 nM, 156.3 nM, 625.0 nM, and 2,500.0 nM concentrations of antisense oligonucleotide, as specified in Table 18. After a treatment period of approximately 16 hours, RNA was isolated from the cells and STAT3 mRNA levels were measured by quantitative real-time PCR. Human STAT3 primer probe set RTS199, described hereinabove, was used to measure mRNA levels. STAT3 mRNA levels were adjusted according to total RNA content, as measured by RIBOGREEN®. Results are presented as percent inhibition of STAT3, relative to untreated control cells.


The half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of each oligonucleotide is also presented in Table 18. As illustrated in Table 18, STAT3 mRNA levels were significantly reduced in a dose-dependent manner in antisense oligonucleotide treated cells.

Example 17
Effect of ISIS Antisense Oligonucleotides Targeting STAT3 in the Treatment of an MDA-MB-231 Human Breast Cancer Xenograft Model

BALB/c nude mice inoculated with human breast cancer cells MDA-MB-231 were treated with ISIS 481464 and ISIS 481549. ISIS 481549 is cross-reactive with the mouse sequence (i.e, hybridizes to the mouse sequence). Tumor growth and tolerability of oligonucleotides in the mice was evaluated.


Treatment


The study was conducted at Pharmaron Inc (Beijing, P.R. China). The BALB/c nude mice were obtained from Beijing HFK Bio-Technology Co., Ltd. MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cells were maintained in vitro as a monolayer culture in Leibovitz's L-15 medium supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated fetal calf serum, 100 U/mL penicillin, 100 μg/mL streptomycin, and 2 mM L-glutamine. The cells were maintained at 37° C. in an atmosphere of 5% CO2 in air. The tumor cells were routinely sub-cultured twice weekly with trypsin-EDTA treatment. Cells growing at exponential growth phase were harvested and counted for tumor inoculation.


Three groups of eight randomly assigned 6-8 week-old female BALB/c nude mice each were inoculated in the right flank with the MDA-MB-231 tumor fragments (3 mm×2 mm×2 mm, which were generated from tumor inoculation passage) for tumor development. Antisense oligonucleotide treatment started at day 11 after tumor inoculation when the mean tumor size reached approximately 100 mm3. Two of the groups were injected intraperitoneally twice a week for 3 weeks with 25 mg/kg of ISIS 481464 or ISIS 481549. A control group of mice was injected intraperitoneally twice a week for 3 weeks with PBS.


All procedures related to animal handling, care, and treatment, were performed according to the guidelines approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC). Animals were routinely checked for any effects of tumor growth on normal behavior, such as mobility, food consumption, body weight changes, and any other abnormal effect.


RNA Analysis


RNA was extracted from tumor tissue for real-time PCR analysis of human STAT3 mRNA levels using primer probe set RTS199, described hereinabove. Murine STAT3 mRNA levels were also measured using primer probe set mSTAT3_LTS00664 (forward sequence CGACAGCTTCCCCATGGA, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 1513; reverse sequence ATGCCCAGTCTTGACTCTCAATC, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 1514; probe sequence CTGCGGCAGTTCCTGGCACCTT, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 1515). Results are presented as percent inhibition of STAT3, relative to PBS control, normalized to cyclophilin. As shown in Table 19, treatment with ISIS antisense oligonucleotides resulted in reduction of both human and murine STAT3 mRNA in comparison to the PBS control.

Effect on Tumor Growth


Tumor size was measured twice weekly in two dimensions using a caliper. Tumor volumes were calculated using the formula: V=0.536×a×b2, where a and b are the long and short diameters of the tumor, respectively. The tumor size was utilized for calculations of the T−C and TV/CV values. T−C was calculated with T as the median time (in days) required for the tumors in the treatment groups to reach a pre-determined size (900 mm3), and C as the median time (in days) for the tumors in the control group to reach the same size. The TV/CV value (expressed as percentage) is an indication of the anti-tumor effectiveness of the ISIS oligonucleotides, where TV and CV were the mean volume of the treated and control groups, respectively, on a given day (day 32).


The results are presented in Tables 20 and 21. The data indicates that treatment with ISIS 481464 and ISIS 481549 significantly impeded tumor growth.

Effect of ISIS Antisense Oligonucleotides Targeting STAT3 in the Treatment of an A431 Human Epidermoid Carcinoma Xenograft Model

BALB/c nude mice inoculated with human epidermoid cancer cells A431 were treated with ISIS 481464 and ISIS 481549. ISIS 481549 is cross-reactive with the mouse sequence (i.e, hybridizes to the mouse sequence). The effect of the treatment on tumor growth and tolerability in the mice was evaluated.


Treatment


The study was conducted at Pharmaron Inc (Beijing, P.R. China). The BALB/c nude mice were obtained from Beijing HFK Bio-Technology Co., Ltd. A431 human epidermoid carcinoma cells were maintained in vitro as a monolayer culture in DMEM medium supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated fetal calf serum, 100 U/mL penicillin, 100 μg/mL streptomycin, and 2 mM L-glutamine. The cells were maintained at 37° C. in an atmosphere of 5% CO2 in air. The tumor cells were routinely sub-cultured twice weekly with trypsin-EDTA treatment. Cells growing in an exponential growth phase were harvested and counted for tumor inoculation.


Three groups of eight randomly assigned 6-8 week-old female BALB/c nude mice each were inoculated subcutaneously with 5×106 A431 tumor cells for tumor development. Antisense oligonucleotide treatment started at day 8 after tumor inoculation when the mean tumor size reached approximately 95 mm3. Two of the groups were injected intraperitoneally twice a week for 4 weeks with 25 mg/kg of ISIS 481464 or ISIS 481549. A control group of mice was injected intraperitoneally twice a week for 4 weeks with PBS.


All procedures related to animal handling, care, and treatment, were performed according to the guidelines approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC). At the time of routine monitoring, the animals were checked for any effects of tumor growth on normal behavior, such as mobility, food consumption, body weight changes and any other abnormal effect.


RNA Analysis


RNA was extracted from tumor tissue for real-time PCR analysis of human STAT3 mRNA levels using primer probe set RTS199, described hereinabove. Murine STAT3 mRNA levels were also measured using primer probe set mSTAT3_LTS00664, described hereinabove. Results are presented as percent inhibition of STAT3, relative to PBS control, normalized to cyclophilin. As shown in Table 23, treatment with ISIS antisense oligonucleotides resulted in reduction of both human and murine STAT3 mRNA in comparison to the PBS control.

Effect on Tumor Growth


Tumor size was measured twice weekly in two dimensions using a caliper, and tumor volumes were calculated using the formula: V=0.5×a×b2, where a and b are the long and short diameters of the tumor, respectively. The tumor size was utilized for calculations of the T−C and TV/CV values. T−C was calculated with T as the median time (in days) required for the tumors in the treatment groups to reach a pre-determined size (800 mm3), and C as the median time (in days) for the tumors in the control group to reach the same size. The TV/CV value (expressed as percentage) is an indication of the anti-tumor effectiveness of the ISIS oligonucleotides, where TV and CV were the mean volume of the treated and control groups, respectively, on a given day (day 33).


The results are presented in Tables 25 and 26. The data indicates that treatment with either ISIS 481464 or ISIS 481549 significantly impeded tumor growth.

Example 19
Effect of ISIS Antisense Oligonucleotides Targeting STAT3 in the Treatment of an NCI-H460 Human Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) Xenograft Model

BALB/c nude mice inoculated with human NCI-H460 human NSCLC were treated with ISIS 491464, which targets human STAT3, and ISIS 481549, which targets both human and murine STAT3. The effect of the treatment on tumor growth and tolerability in the mice was evaluated.


Treatment


The study was conducted at Pharmaron Inc (Beijing, P.R. China). The BALB/c nude mice were obtained from Beijing HFK Bio-Technology Co., Ltd. NCI-H460 human NSCLC cells were maintained in vitro as a monolayer culture in RPMI-1640 medium supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated fetal calf serum, 100 U/mL penicillin, 100 mg/mL streptomycin, and 2 mM L-glutamine. The cells were maintained at 37° C. in an atmosphere of 5% CO2 in air. The tumor cells were routinely sub-cultured twice weekly with trypsin-EDTA treatment. Cells growing in an exponential growth phase were harvested and counted for tumor inoculation.


Three groups of eight randomly assigned 6-8 week-old female BALB/c nude mice each were inoculated subcutaneously with 2×106 NCI-H460 tumor cells for tumor development. Antisense oligonucleotide treatment started at day 6 after tumor inoculation when the mean tumor size reached approximately 100 mm3. Two of the groups were injected intraperitoneally twice a week for 3 weeks with 25 mg/kg of ISIS 481464 or ISIS 481549. The third group of mice was injected intraperitoneally twice a week for 3 weeks with PBS, and served as the control group.


All procedures related to animal handling, care, and treatment, were performed according to the guidelines approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC). At the time of routine monitoring, the animals were checked for any effects of tumor growth on normal behavior, such as mobility, food consumption, body weight changes and any other abnormal effect.

Example 20
Effect of Antisense Inhibition of Human STAT3 in a Human Glioblastoma Orthotopic Mouse Model

NU/J mice orthotopically implanted with human glioblastoma cells were treated with ISIS 455291, a 5-10-5 MOE gapmer having a sequence of CAGCAGATCAAGTCCAGGGA (SEQ ID NO: 1590). The effect of the treatment on tumor growth and tolerability in the mice was evaluated.


Treatment


Thirty NU/J mice were stereotactically implanted in the right frontal lobe with 5×105 U-87 MG-luc2 cells. On day 15 after tumor cell implantation, 15 of these mice were dosed intracranially with a bolus injection at the site of tumor implantation with 100 mg of ISIS 455291, which was dissolved in 2 μL of PBS. The remaining 15 mice were dosed intracranially with a bolus injection at the site of tumor implantation with 2 μL of PBS. The second group of mice served as the control group.


Analysis


On day 18 after tumor transplantation, five mice from each group were euthanized by CO2 inhalation and brain samples were collected for RNA analysis. RNA was extracted from tumor tissue for real-time PCR analysis of human STAT3 mRNA levels using primer probe set RTS199, described hereinabove. Treatment with ISIS 455291 resulted in 27% reduction of human STAT3 mRNA in the tumor tissue in comparison to the PBS control.


The remaining mice in each group were monitored regularly up to 2 weeks for survival analysis. The median survival for the PBS control group was 30.5 days. The medial survival for the ISIS oligonucleotide-treated mice was 35 days. The P value was 0.2088.


Example 21
Effect of Treatment with ISIS 481549 in APC/Min+ Mice

The effect of treatment with ISIS 481549 on STAT3 mRNA levels and intestinal adenoma numbers in the APC/Min+ mouse model was evaluated. The APC/Min+ mice strain is predisposed to spontaneous intestinal adenoma formation throughout the entire intestinal tract at an early age (Moser A. R. et al., Science 1990. 247: 322-324).


Treatment


Two groups of 4 male nine-week-old APC/Min+ mice were injected subcutaneously with 5 mg/kg or 25 mg/kg of ISIS 481549 administered five times a week (total weekly doses of 25 mg/kg and 125 mg/kg, respectively) for 4 weeks. A group of 4 male nine-week-old APC/Min+ mice were injected subcutaneously with 50 mg/kg of control oligonucleotide, ISIS 141923, administered five times a week (total weekly dose of 250 mg/kg) for 4 weeks. A control group of 4 male nine-week-old APC/Min+ mice were injected subcutaneously with PBS administered five times a week for 4 weeks. Mice were euthanized with isoflurance followed by cervical dislocation 48 hrs after the final injection.


Colons and intestines were removed, separated from each other and cleaned. Approximately 5 cm of the upper intestinal tract was excised and homogenized in 2.5 mL RLT buffer (Qiagen) with 1% of 2-mercaptoethanol (RLT-BMe) and placed in dry ice. The colon was cut in half and the proximal half of the tissue was homogenized in 2.5 mL RLT-BMe and placed in dry ice. A small piece of the liver (0.2 g) was excised and homogenized in RLT-BMe and placed in dry ice.


RNA Analysis


RNA was isolated from the tissues using PureLink™ Total RNA Purification kit (Invitrogen; #12173-011A), according to the manufacturer's protocol. RT-PCR was performed using the StepOnePlus system (Applied Biosystems), according to the manufacturer's protocol. Murine primer probe set mSTAT3 LTS000664 (forward primer CGACAGCTTCCCCATGGA, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 1513; reverse primer ATGCCCAGTCTTGACTCTCAATC, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 1514; probe CTGCGGCAGTTCCTGGCACCTT, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 1515) was used for measuring STAT3 mRNA levels. The mRNA level of the housekeeping gene, Cyclophilin, was measured with the primer probe set mcyclo_24 (forward primer TCGCCGCTTGCTGCA, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 1516; reverse primer ATCGGCCGTGATGTCGA, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 1517; probe CCATGGTCAACCCCACCGTGTTC, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 1518) and was used to normalize STAT3 mRNA levels.


Treatment with ISIS 481549 resulted in statistically significant reduction in STAT3 mRNA expression in liver at 25 mg/kg/wk and 125 mg/kg/wk dosing in liver, small intestine and colon (Table 32) compared to the PBS control. Significant differences between the treatment and the control groups were determined using the Student's two-tailed t test (p<0.05).

Example 22
Effect of Antisense Oligonucleotides Targeting STAT3 in the Treatment of a PC-9 NSCLC Xenograft Model

BALB/c nude mice (Charles River) inoculated with the human non-small cell lung cancer cell line, PC-9, were treated with ISIS 481549 and ISIS 481464. Tumor growth and STAT3 target reduction in the mice were evaluated.


Treatment


Six- to eight-week old female BALB/c nude mice were inoculated subcutaneously with 7×106 PC-9 human NSCLC cells. Mice that displayed a mean tumor volume of 150-200 mm3 were selected and randomized into different treatment groups. Two groups of 7 mice were injected subcutaneously with 25 mg/kg of ISIS 481549 or ISIS 481464 administered five times a week (total weekly doses of 125 mg/kg) for 6 weeks. A group of 7 mice were injected subcutaneously with 25 mg/kg of ISIS 347526 (TCTTATGTTTCCGAACCGTT, no known murine or human target, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 1519) administered five times a week (total weekly doses of 125 mg/kg) for 6 weeks. A final dose of antisense oligonucleotide was given 24 hrs before the mice were euthanized.


RNA Analysis


Tumors were harvested and RNA was isolated using Qiagen RNAeasy Mini Kit (#74106), according to the manufacturer's protocol. STAT3 mRNA levels were measured using an ABI StepOnePlus RT-PCR instrument with human STAT3 primer probe set RTS2033 (forward primer GAGGCCCGCCCAACA, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 1520; reverse primer TTCTGCTAATGACGTTATCCAGTTTT, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 1521; probe CTGCCTAGATCGGC, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 1522). The mRNA levels of the housekeeping gene, GAPDH, was measured with the human primer probe set (forward primer GAAGGTGAAGGTCGGAGTC, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 1523; reverse primer GAAGATGGTGATGGGATTTC, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 1524; probe CAAGCTTCCCGTTCTCAGCC, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 1525) and was used to normalize RNA levels. The results are presented in Table 34 and indicate that the antisense oligonucleotides reduced STAT3 mRNA levels.

Tumor Growth Analysis


Tumors were measured regularly throughout the study period. Tumor growth inhibition (TGI) was calculated using the formula

TGI=[1−(X of STAT3 ASO group (final))−X of STAT3 ASO group (day1))/(X of control ASO group (final)−X of control ASO group (day1))]×100%, where X=mean tumor volume.


The difference of the treatment group from the control group was evaluated using the ANOVA statistical test. The results are presented in Table 35. The data indicates that tumor growth was significantly inhibited by ISIS 481464 with TGI of 97% by day 52. Treatment by ISIS 481549 inhibited PC-9 tumor growth by 78%.

Example 23
Effect of ISIS 481464 in the Treatment of an LG-476 NSCLC Xenograft Model

NOD.Cg-Prkdcscid Il2rgtm1Wjl/SzJ mice (NSG; JAX #5557), which are immunodeficient, were inoculated with the human non-small cell lung cancer cell line, LG-476 (Jackson Laboratory) and treated with ISIS 481464. Tumor growth and STAT3 target reduction in the mice was evaluated.


Treatment


Four- to six-week old female NSG mice were inoculated subcutaneously with LG-476 human NSCLC cells and monitored three times weekly for clinical observations, body weights and tumor volume. Once tumors reached 1,000 mm3, the tumors were harvested and fragmented. Tumor fragments measuring 3-5 mm3 were implanted subcutaneously into the right hind flank of 30 NSG mice. The mice were monitored three times a week. When individual tumors reached a volume of 200-250 mm3, the mice were randomly assigned to 2 groups and were injected with 25 mg/kg of ISIS 481464 or PBS administered 5 times a week (weekly doses of 125 mg/kg) for 3 weeks. Tumors were harvested 24 hrs after the last dose.


RNA Analysis


Lysates from tumors were prepared using an ABI StepOnePlus RT-PCR instrument with a human-specific primer probe set RTS2033. The mRNA levels of the housekeeping gene, Cyclophilin, was measured with a human-specific primer probe set (forward primer GACGGCGAGCCCTTGG, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 1526; reverse primer TGCTGTCTTTGGGACCTTGTC, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 1527; probe CCGCGTCTCCTTTGAGCTGTTTGC, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 1528). Significant differences between the treatment and the control groups were determined using the Student's two-tailed t test (p<0.05).


Treatment with ISIS 481464 resulted in 43% reduction of STAT3 mRNA levels in the tumor mass compared to the PBS control (FIG. 8), which is statistically significant.


Protein Analysis


Total cell lysates were prepared by homogenizing tumor in ice-cold radio-immunoprecipitation assay (RIPA) buffer containing protease inhibitor cocktail. The lysates were analyzed by western blotting using STAT3 antibody (Abcam Antibodies, #ab32500). The house-keeping proteins, cytochrome oxidase II (COXII; #ab79393) and survivin (#ab76424) were also probed. STAT3 levels were normalized to either COXII protein or survivin protein and quantified using ImageJ software.


Treatment with ISIS 481464 resulted in 50% reduction in STAT3 protein levels in the tumor mass compared to the PBS control, which is statistically significant.


Tumor Growth Analysis


Tumors were measured regularly throughout the study period. Treatment with ISIS 481464 resulted in decrease in tumor volume of approximately 39% compared to the PBS control.


Example 24
Dose-Dependent Antisense Inhibition of STAT3 Following Free Uptake of Antisense Oligonucleotide in PC9 Cells

ISIS 481464, from the studies described above, was further tested at different doses in PC9 cells, a non small cell lung carcinoma cell line. Cells were plated at a density of 3,000 cells per well. Cells were incubated with 0.02 μM, 0.1 μM, 0.5 μM, 2.5 μM, and 10.0 μM concentrations of antisense oligonucleotide, as specified in Table 37.

Effect of Antisense Oligonucleotides Targeting STAT3 in the Treatment of an SK-OV3 Ovarian Cancer Xenograft Model

BALB/c nude mice were inoculated with the human ovarian cancer cell line, SK-OV3 and treated with ISIS 481464 or ISIS 481549. ISIS 481549 is cross-reactive with the mouse sequence (i.e., hybridizes to the mouse sequence).


Study 1


Human ovarian cancer SK-OV3 cells (approximately 100 mm3) were intraperitoneally injected into nude mice. Ten days later, the mice were inoculated subcutaneously with 25 mg/kg of ISIS 481464 or ISIS 481549, administered twice a week for 11 weeks. The mice were euthanized 24 hrs after the final dose.


RNA Analysis


Lysates were prepared by using the RNA extraction kit (Invitrogen) in for RT-PCR analysis of STAT3 mRNA levels, using human primer probe set (RTS2033) and mouse primer probe set (mSTAT3-LTS0664). The results are presented in Table 43. The results are presented as percent inhibition of STAT3, relative to the PBS control. The data indicates that treatment with ISIS antisense oligonucleotides resulted in reduction of both human and murine STAT3 mRNA in comparison to the PBS control.

Example 31
Tolerability Study of ISIS 481464 in Cynomolgus Monkeys

The efficacy and tolerability of ISIS 481464 in cynomolgus monkeys was evaluated.


Treatment


Male and female naïve cynomolgus monkeys were assigned to five treatment groups. Three groups of 5 monkeys each received loading doses of 3 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg or 30 mg/kg every two days during the first week of the study (on Days 1, 3, 5 and 7) followed by once weekly administration thereafter (commencing on Day 14). A control group of 5 monkeys received PBS every two days during the first week of the study (on Days 1, 3, 5 and 7) as the loading dose, followed by once weekly administration thereafter (commencing on Day 14). These doses were administered via a one-hour intravenous (i.v.) infusion. A fifth group of 5 monkeys received loading doses of 30 mg/kg administered subcutaneously every two days during the first week of the study (on Days 1, 3, 5 and 7) followed by once weekly subcutaneous (s.c.) administration thereafter (commencing on Day 14).


For the i.v. infusions, the animals were restrained, without sedation, to a chair restraint. A catheter was placed in one of the cephalic veins and ISIS 481464 solution at the appropriate dose was infused at a constant rate over approximately 1 hour using a calibrated syringe pump (Stoelting Co, USA). The dosing site was rotated between right and left arms and the dosing time was recorded. The infusion rate was selected to deliver the calculated dose volume and the accuracy of the pumps was monitored and recorded for each dose. At the end of infusion period, the dosing solution was switched to PBS. In case of s.c. administration, the injections were performed in clock-wise rotation at 4 sites on the back. Injection sites were maintained by periodic shaving and permanently numbered by tattooing.


Three monkeys from each group were sacrificed on day 44, which was approximately 48 hrs following the last dose on day 42. The other 2 monkeys from each group are being observed for toxicological effects. Scheduled euthanasia of the animals was conducted by exsanguination after ketamine/xylazine-induced anesthesia and administration of sodium pentobarbital. The protocols described in the Example were approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC).


RNA Analysis


Liver tissue was homogenized in 3 mL of RLT lysis buffer (Qiagen) supplemented with 1% of 2-mercaptoethanol (Sigma). RNA was purified from the resulting homogenate using Qiagen RNeasy 96-well plate for RNA purification, according to the manufacturer's protocol. After purification, the RNA samples were subjected to RT-PCR analysis using Perkin-Elmer ABI Prism 7700 Sequence Detection System and STAT3 primer probe set RTS3235 (forward primer AAGTTTATCTGTGTGACACCAACGA, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 1532; reverse primer CTTCACCATTATTTCCAAACTGCAT, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 1533; probe TGCCGATGTCCCCCCGCA, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 1534). STAT3 mRNA levels were normalized to monkey CyclophilinA, which was quantitated using primer probe set mk_cycloA_2nd (forward primer TGCTGGACCCAACACAAATG, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 1535; reverse primer TGCCATCCAACCACTCAGTC, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 1536; probe TTCCCAGTTTTTCATCTGCACTGCCAX, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 1537).


Treatment with ISIS 481464 at 30 mg/kg dose concentrations either via i.v. infusion or s.c. injection resulted in statistically significant reduction in STAT3 mRNA expression in liver (Table 46) compared to the PBS control. Significant differences between the treatment and the control groups were determined using the Student's t test (p<0.05).

Protein Analysis


Liver tissue was homogenized in 1 mL of ice-cold RIPA buffer (Sigma) containing inhibitor cocktails of both proteases and phosphatases (Roche). Total lysates were separated by Bis-Tris PAGE (Invitrogen), transferred to a PVDF membrane, and immunoblotted using primary antibodies for STAT3 (Cell Signaling, #9132) and GAPDH (Advanced Immunochemicals, #06-1-G4-C5) Immunospecific bands were detected with the Enhanced Chemiluminescence Plus detection kit (Amersham Biosciences) after exposure to X-ray film. The intensity of the bands was then scanned and quantified using ImageJ software. Significant differences between the treatment and the control groups were determined using the Student's t test (p<0.05).


There was a dose-dependent decrease in STAT3 protein levels, as shown in Table 47, with 33% and 82% reduction at 3 mg/kg/week and 10 mg/kg/week respectively. STAT3 protein was undetectable at 30 mg/kg/week irrespective of the dosing route.

Liver Function


To evaluate the effect of ISIS oligonucleotides on hepatic function, blood samples were collected from all the study groups. The blood samples were collected via femoral venipuncture on day 44, 48 hrs post-dosing. Blood samples (1 mL) were collected in tubes without anticoagulant for serum separation. The tubes were kept at room temperature for approximately 60 min and then centrifuged at 3,000 rpm for 10 min to obtain serum. Levels of various liver function markers were measured using a Toshiba 200FR NEO chemistry analyzer (Toshiba Co., Japan). Plasma levels of ALT and AST were measured and the results are presented in Table 48, expressed in IU/L. Male and female monkey data is presented separately. The results indicate that treatment with ISIS 481464 had no effect on liver function outside the expected range for antisense oligonucleotides.

Example 32
Antisense Inhibition of Human STAT3 in HuVEC Cells

Antisense oligonucleotides were designed targeting a STAT3 nucleic acid and were tested for their effects on STAT3 mRNA in vitro. Cultured HuVEC cells at a density of 5,000 cells per well were transfected using LipofectAMINE 2000® reagent with 30 nM antisense oligonucleotide. After a treatment period of approximately 24 hours, RNA was isolated from the cells and STAT3 mRNA levels were measured by quantitative real-time PCR. Human primer probe set RTS2033 (forward sequence GAGGCCCGCCCAACA, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 5; reverse sequence TTCTGCTAATGACGTTATCCAGTTTT, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 6; probe sequence CTGCCTAGATCGGC, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 7) was used to measure mRNA levels. STAT3 mRNA levels were adjusted according to total RNA content, as measured by RIBOGREEN®. Results are presented as percent inhibition of STAT3, relative to untreated control cells.


The chimeric antisense oligonucleotides in Tables 52 and 53 were designed as 5-10-5 MOE gapmers. The gapmers are 20 nucleosides in length, wherein the central gap segment comprises of ten 2′-deoxynucleosides and is flanked on both sides (in the 5′ and 3′ directions) by wings comprising five nucleosides each. Each nucleoside in the 5′ wing segment and each nucleotide in the 3′ wing segment has a 2′-MOE modification. The internucleoside linkages throughout each gapmer are phosphorothioate (P═S) linkages. All cytosine residues throughout each gapmer are 5′-methylcytosines. “Human Target start site” indicates the 5′-most nucleoside to which the gapmer is targeted in the human gene sequence. “Human Target stop site” indicates the 3′-most nucleoside to which the gapmer is targeted human gene sequence. Each gapmer listed in Table 52 is targeted to human STAT3 mRNA, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 1 (GENBANK Accession No. NM_139276.2). Each gapmer listed in Table 53 is targeted to human STAT3 genomic sequence, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 2 (the complement of GENBANK Accession No. NT_010755.14 truncated from nucleotides 4185000 to 4264000).


The potency of the gapmers was compared to ISIS 337332, ISIS 337333, and ISIS 345785, which are also 5-10-5 MOE gapmers targeting human STAT3, and which are further described in U.S. Pat. No. 7,307,069, incorporated herein by reference.

Example 33
Dose-Dependent Antisense Inhibition of Human STAT3 in HuVEC Cells

Gapmers from the study described in Example 32 exhibiting significant in vitro inhibition of STAT3 were tested at various doses in HuVEC cells. Cells were plated at a density of 5,000 cells per well and transfected using LipofectAMINE2000® reagent with 1.1 nM, 3.3 nM, 10.0 nM, and 30.0 nM concentrations of antisense oligonucleotide, as specified in Table 54. After a treatment period of approximately 16 hours, RNA was isolated from the cells and STAT3 mRNA levels were measured by quantitative real-time PCR. Human STAT3 primer probe set RTS199 (forward sequence ACATGCCACTTTGGTGTTTCATAA, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 6; reverse sequence TCTTCGTAGATTGTGCTGATAGAGAAC, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 7; probe sequence CAGTATAGCCGCTTCCTGCAAGAGTCGAA, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 8) was used to measure mRNA levels. STAT3 mRNA levels were adjusted according to total RNA content, as measured by RIBOGREEN®. Results are presented as percent inhibition of STAT3, relative to untreated control cells.


The half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of each oligonucleotide is also presented in Table 54 and was calculated by plotting the concentrations of oligonucleotides used versus the percent inhibition of STAT3 mRNA expression achieved at each concentration, and noting the concentration of oligonucleotide at which 50% inhibition of STAT3 mRNA expression was achieved compared to the control. As illustrated in Table 54, STAT3 mRNA levels were significantly reduced in a dose-dependent manner in antisense oligonucleotide treated cells.

Example 34
Antisense Inhibition of Human STAT3 in HuVEC Cells by Oligonucleotides Designed by Microwalk

Additional gapmers were designed based on the gapmers presented in Example 1 that demonstrated an inhibition of at least 50%. These gapmers were designed by creating gapmers shifted slightly upstream and downstream (i.e., “microwalk”) of the original gapmers. These gapmers were tested in vitro. ISIS 337332 was also included in the assay as a comparator. Cultured HuVEC cells at a density of 5,000 cells per well were transfected using LipofectAMINE 2000® reagent with 30 nM antisense oligonucleotide. After a treatment period of approximately 24 hours, RNA was isolated from the cells and STAT3 mRNA levels were measured by quantitative real-time PCR. The human primer probe set RTS199, described hereinabove, was used to measure STAT3 mRNA levels. STAT3 mRNA levels were adjusted according to total RNA content, as measured by RIBOGREEN®. Results are presented as percent inhibition of STAT3, relative to untreated control cells. The results are presented in Table 55.


The chimeric antisense oligonucleotides in Table 55 were designed as 5-10-5 MOE gapmers. The gapmers designated with an asterisk (*) in Table 55 are the original gapmers from which gapmers, ISIS 465226-466744, were designed via microwalk. The 5-10-5 gapmers are 20 nucleosides in length, wherein the central gap segment is comprised of ten 2′-deoxynucleosides and is flanked on both sides (in the 5′ and 3′ directions) by wings comprising five nucleosides each. Each nucleoside in the 5′ wing segment and each nucleoside in the 3′ wing segment has a 2′-MOE modification. The internucleoside linkages throughout each gapmer are phosphorothioate (P═S) linkages. All cytosine residues throughout each gapmer are 5′-methylcytosines. “Target start site” indicates the 5′-most nucleoside to which the gapmer is targeted. “Target stop site” indicates the 3′-most nucleoside to which the gapmer is targeted. Each gapmer listed in Table 55 is targeted to the target region spanning nucleobases 2313-76017 of SEQ ID NO: 2 (the complement of GENBANK Accession No. NT_010755.14 truncated from nucleotides 4185000 to 4264000).

Example 35
Dose-Dependent Antisense Inhibition of Human STAT3 in HuVEC Cells

Gapmers from the study described in Example 3 exhibiting significant in vitro inhibition of STAT3 were tested at various doses in HuVEC cells. Cells were plated at a density of 5,000 cells per well and transfected using LipofectAMINE2000® reagent with 8.8 nM, 17.5 nM, 35.0 nM, and 70.0 nM concentrations of antisense oligonucleotide, as specified in Table 56. After a treatment period of approximately 16 hours, RNA was isolated from the cells and STAT3 mRNA levels were measured by quantitative real-time PCR. Human STAT3 primer probe set RTS199, described hereinabove, was used to measure mRNA levels. STAT3 mRNA levels were adjusted according to total RNA content, as measured by RIBOGREEN®. Results are presented as percent inhibition of STAT3, relative to untreated control cells.


As illustrated in Table 56, STAT3 mRNA levels were reduced in a dose-dependent manner in antisense oligonucleotide treated cells.

Example 37
Tolerability of Antisense Oligonucleotides Targeting Human STAT3 in CD1 Mice

Thirty-nine antisense oligonucleotides exhibiting a high level of potency were further tested for in vivo tolerability.


Groups of eight male CD1 mice were injected subcutaneously twice a week for 6 weeks with 50 mg/kg of ISIS antisense oligonucleotides. One group of eight male CD1 mice was injected subcutaneously twice a week for 6 weeks with PBS. This group served as the control group. Three days after the last dose mice were euthanized and organs and plasma were harvested for further analysis. Liver, spleen, and kidney weights were measured at the end of the study and were compared to PBS treated mice.


To evaluate the effect of ISIS oligonucleotides on hepatic function, plasma concentrations of transaminases were measured using an automated clinical chemistry analyzer (Hitachi Olympus AU400e, Melville, N.Y.). Plasma concentrations of ALT (alanine transaminase) and AST (aspartate transaminase) were measured.


To evaluate the effect of ISIS oligonucleotides on kidney function, plasma concentrations of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) were measured using an automated clinical chemistry analyzer (Hitachi Olympus AU400e, Melville, N.Y.).


Blood obtained from all mice groups were sent to Antech Diagnostics for hematocrit (HCT), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) measurements and analyses, as well as measurements of the differential blood cell counts, such as that of WBC, RBC, and total hemoglobin content.


Among the 39 antisense oligonucleotides tested, certain antisense oligonucleotides, including ISIS 455265, ISIS 455269, ISIS 455271, ISIS 455272, ISIS 455291, ISIS 455371, ISIS 455394, ISIS 455703, ISIS 455429, ISIS 455471, ISIS 455527, ISIS 455530, ISIS 455536, ISIS 455548, ISIS 455611, ISIS 465236, ISIS 465237, ISIS 465588, ISIS 465740, ISIS 465754, ISIS 465830, ISIS 466670, and ISIS 466720 met tolerability thresholds for organ weight, ALT, AST, BUN, and hematological parameters.


Example 38
Measurement of Half-Life of Antisense Oligonucleotide in CD1 Mouse Liver

CD1 mice were treated with ISIS antisense oligonucleotides described and the oligonucleotide half-life in the liver was evaluated.


Treatment


Groups of twelve CD1 mice each were injected subcutaneously twice per week for 2 weeks with 50 mg/kg of ISIS 455265, ISIS 455269, ISIS 455271, ISIS 455272, ISIS 455291, ISIS 455371, ISIS 455393, ISIS 455553, ISIS 455582, ISIS 455703, ISIS 455394, ISIS 455429, ISIS 455438, ISIS 455471, ISIS 455527, ISIS 455530, ISIS 455536, ISIS 455540, ISIS 455548, ISIS 455611, ISIS 455429, ISIS 455463, ISIS 455464, ISIS 455471, ISIS 455527, ISIS 455611, ISIS 465236, ISIS 465237, ISIS 465239, ISIS 465588, ISIS 465740, ISIS 465742, ISIS 465751, ISIS 465752, ISIS 465754, ISIS 465830, ISIS 466670, ISIS 466718, and ISIS 466720. Four mice from each group were sacrificed 3 days, 28 days, and 56 days following the final dose. Livers were harvested for analysis.


Measurement of Oligonucleotide Concentration


The concentration of the full-length oligonucleotide as well as the total oligonucleotide concentration (including the degraded form) was measured. The method used is a modification of previously published methods (Leeds et al., 1996; Geary et al., 1999), which includes a phenol-chloroform (liquid-liquid) extraction followed by a solid phase extraction. An internal standard (ISIS 355868, a 27-mer 2′-O-methoxyethyl modified phosphorothioate oligonucleotide, GCGTTTGCTCTTCTTCTTGCGTTTTTT, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 2758) was added prior to extraction. Tissue sample concentrations were calculated using calibration curves, with a lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) of approximately 1.14 μg/g. Half-lives were then calculated using WinNonlin software (PHARSIGHT).


The half-life of each oligonucleotide is presented in Table 58. Antisense oligonucleotides with half-lives within 11-34 days were chosen for further studies.

Example 42
Measurement of Viscosity of ISIS Antisense Oligonucleotides Targeting Human STAT3

The viscosity of antisense oligonucleotides selected from the studies described in Examples 6-10 was measured with the aim of screening out antisense oligonucleotides which have a viscosity more than 40 cP. Oligonucleotides having a viscosity greater than 40 cP would be too viscous to be administered to any subject.


ISIS oligonucleotides (32-35 mg) were weighed into a glass vial, 120 μL of water was added and the antisense oligonucleotide was dissolved into solution by heating the vial at 50° C. Part of (75 μL) the pre-heated sample was pipetted to a micro-viscometer (Cambridge). The temperature of the micro-viscometter was set to 25° C. and the viscosity of the sample was measured. Another part (20 μL) of the pre-heated sample was pipetted into 10 mL of water for UV reading at 260 nM at 85° C. (Cary UV instrument). The results are presented in Table 61 and indicate that all the antisense oligonucleotides solutions are optimal in their viscosity under the criterion stated above.

Example 43
Effect of ISIS Antisense Oligonucleotides Targeting Human STAT3 in Cynomolgus Monkeys

Nine antisense oligonucleotides exhibiting a high level of potency were further tested for in cynomolgus monkeys. Antisense oligonucleotide tolerability and pharmacokinetic profile in the liver and kidney was evaluated.


The study was conducted at the Korea Institute of Toxicology, Republic of Korea. Prior to the study, the monkeys were kept in quarantine for a 30-day time period, during which standard panels of serum chemistry and hematology, examination of fecal samples for ova and parasites, and a tuberculosis test, were conducted to screen out abnormal or ailing monkeys. Nine groups of four randomly assigned male cynomolgus monkeys each were injected subcutaneously thrice per week for the first week, and subsequently twice a week for the next 7 weeks, with 25 mg/kg of ISIS antisense oligonucleotides. A control group of 4 cynomolgus monkeys was injected with PBS subcutaneously thrice per week for the first week, and subsequently twice a week for the next 7 weeks. Terminal sacrifices of all groups were conducted on day 55, which was 48 hours after the last dose.


During the study period, the monkeys were observed daily for signs of illness or distress. Any animal showing adverse effects to the treatment was removed and referred to the veterinarian and Study Director.


To evaluate the effect of ISIS oligonucleotides on the overall health of the animals, spleen heart, kidney, liver, and gall bladder weights were measured at day 55. Organ weights were measured and treatment group weights were compared to the corresponding PBS control weights


To evaluate the effect of ISIS oligonucleotides on hepatic and kidney function, blood samples were collected from all the study groups. The monkeys were fasted overnight prior to blood collection. Approximately, 1 mL each of blood samples was collected in tubes without any anticoagulant for serum separation. The tubes were kept at room temperature for 90 min and then centrifuged (3000 rpm for 10 min at room temperature) to obtain serum. Concentrations of transaminases were measured using a Toshiba 200FR NEO chemistry analyzer (Toshiba Co., Japan). Plasma concentrations of ALT (alanine transaminase), AST (aspartate transaminase), and BUN were measured on day 55. C-reactive protein (CRP), which is synthesized in the liver and which serves as a marker of inflammation, was also similarly measured on day 55.


To evaluate the effect of ISIS oligonucleotides on factors involved in inflammation, blood was collected on day 55 from all animals for analyses of complement C3 levels, MIP-1β cytokine levels, and platelet number.


For complement C3 analysis, approximately 0.5 mL each of blood sample was collected in tubes without anticoagulant for serum separation. For cytokine level analyses, approximately 2 mL each of blood sample was collected in tubes without anticoagulant for serum separation. The tubes were kept at room temperature for 90 min and then centrifuged (3000 rpm for 10 min at room temperature) to obtain serum. Complement C3 was measured using an automatic analyzer (Toshiba 200 FR NEO chemistry analyzer, Toshiba co., Japan). Serum was utilized for cytokine analysis using a nine-panel Searchlight Multiplex Array.


For platelet count, approximately 0.5 mL each of blood samples was collected in tubes containing potassium salt of EDTA. Samples were analyzed for platelet count using an ADVIA120 hematology analyzer (Bayer, USA).


The concentration of oligonucleotide was measured in the liver and kidney on day 55. The method used is a modification of previously published methods (Leeds et al., 1996; Geary et al., 1999), which includes a phenol-chloroform (liquid-liquid) extraction followed by a solid phase extraction. An internal standard (ISIS 355868, a 27-mer 2′-O-methoxyethyl modified phosphorothioate oligonucleotide, GCGTTTGCTCTTCTTCTTGCGTTTTTT, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 2758) was added prior to extraction. Tissue sample concentrations were calculated using calibration curves, with a lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) of approximately 1.14 μg/g.


Among the 9 antisense oligonucleotides tested, certain antisense oligonucleotides, including ISIS 455269, ISIS 455371, ISIS 455429, and ISIS 455670 met tolerability thresholds for organ weight, ALT, AST, BUN, and hematological parameters.


Example 44
Dose-Dependent Antisense Inhibition of STAT3 Following Free Uptake of Antisense Oligonucleotide in MDA-MB-231 Cells

ISIS oligonucleotides from the study described in Example 12 were further tested at different doses in MDA-MB-231 cells. Cells were plated at a density of 4,000 cells per well. Cells were incubated without any transfection reagent with 0.02 μM, 0.20 μM, 1.00 μM, 5.00 μM, and 10.00 μM concentrations of antisense oligonucleotide, as specified in Table 62. After approximately 24 hours, RNA was isolated from the cells and STAT3 mRNA levels were measured by quantitative real-time PCR. Human STAT3 primer probe set RTS199, as described hereinabove, was used to measure mRNA levels. STAT3 mRNA levels were adjusted according to total RNA content, as measured by RIBOGREEN®. Results are presented as percent inhibition of STAT3, relative to untreated control cells.

Example 45
Dose-Dependent Antisense Inhibition of STAT3 Following Free Uptake of Antisense Oligonucleotide in U251-MG Cells

ISIS oligonucleotides from the study described in Example 12 were further tested at different doses in U251-MG cells. Cells were plated at a density of 4,000 cells per well. Cells were incubated without any transfection reagent with 0.1 μM, 1.0 μM, 5.0 μM, 10.0 μM, and 20.0 μM concentrations of antisense oligonucleotide, as specified in Table 63. After approximately 24 hours, RNA was isolated from the cells and STAT3 mRNA levels were measured by quantitative real-time PCR. Human STAT3 primer probe set RTS199, as described hereinabove, was used to measure mRNA levels. STAT3 mRNA levels were adjusted according to total RNA content, as measured by RIBOGREEN®. Results are presented as percent inhibition of STAT3, relative to untreated control cells. The half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of each oligonucleotide is also presented in Table 63.

Example 48
Effect of ISIS Oligonucleotides Targeting STAT3 in the Treatment of U251 Human Glioma Cancer Xenograft Model

BALB/c nude mice inoculated with human U251 glioma tumor cells were treated with ISIS oligonucleotides from the study described in Example 12. The effect of the treatment on tumor growth in the mice was evaluated.


Treatment


BALB/c nude mice were subcutaneously implanted with 1×106 tumor cells. On day 4 of the implantation, groups of 4 mice each were administered 50 mg/kg injected intraperitoneally five times a week for 3 and a half weeks of ISIS 455269, ISIS 455291, ISIS 455371, ISIS 455703, ISIS 455429, ISIS 465237, ISIS 465754, ISIS 465830, or ISIS 466670. One group of mice was administered 50 mg/kg injected intraperitoneally five times a week for 3 and a half weeks of the control oligonucleotide, ISIS 141923. One group of mice was administered PBS injected intraperitoneally five times a week for 3 and a half weeks.


Effect on Tumor Growth


Tumor size was measured twice weekly in two dimensions using a caliper, and tumor volumes were calculated using the formula: V=0.5×a×b2, where a and b are the long and short diameters of the tumor, respectively. The results are presented in Table 66. The data indicates that treatment with ISIS oligonucleotides significantly impeded tumor growth. ‘n/a’ indicates that the data points for that time point are not available.

Example 49
Effect of ISIS 455291 Targeting STAT3 in the Treatment of an MDA-MB-231 Human Breast Cancer Xenograft Model

BALB/c nude mice inoculated with human breast cancer cells MDA-MB-231 were treated with ISIS 455291. The effect of the treatment on tumor growth and tolerability in the mice was evaluated.


Treatment


The study was conducted at Pharmaron Inc (Beijing, P.R. China). The BALB/c nude mice were obtained from Beijing HFK Bio-Technology Co., Ltd. MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cells were maintained in vitro as a monolayer culture in Leibovitz's L-15 medium supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated fetal calf serum, 100 U/mL penicillin, 100 μg/mL streptomycin, and 2 mM L-glutamine. The cells were maintained at 37° C. in an atmosphere of 5% CO2 in air. The tumor cells were routinely sub-cultured twice weekly with trypsin-EDTA treatment. Cells growing an exponential growth phase were harvested and counted for tumor inoculation.


Two groups of eight randomly assigned 6-8 week-old female BALB/c nude mice each were inoculated at the right flank with the MDA-MB-231 tumor fragments (3 mm×2 mm×2 mm, which were generated from tumor inoculation passage) for tumor development. Antisense oligonucleotide treatment started at day 11 after tumor inoculation when the mean tumor size reached approximately 100 mm3. One of the groups was injected intraperitoneally twice a week for 3 weeks with 50 mg/kg of ISIS 455291. The other group of mice was injected intraperitoneally twice a week for 3 weeks with PBS, and served as the control group.


All procedures related to animal handling, care, and treatment, were performed according to the guidelines approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC). At the time of routine monitoring, the animals were checked for any effects of tumor growth on normal behavior, such as mobility, food consumption, body weight changes and any other abnormal effect.


RNA Analysis


RNA was extracted from tumor tissue for real-time PCR analysis of human STAT3 mRNA levels using primer probe set RTS199, described hereinabove. Murine STAT3 mRNA levels were also measured using primer probe set mSTAT3_LTS00664 (forward sequence CGACAGCTTCCCCATGGA, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 1513; reverse sequence ATGCCCAGTCTTGACTCTCAATC, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 1514; probe sequence CTGCGGCAGTTCCTGGCACCTT, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 1515). Results are presented as percent inhibition of STAT3, relative to PBS control, normalized to cyclophilin. As shown in Table 67, treatment with ISIS 455291 resulted in reduction of both human and murine STAT3 mRNA in comparison to the PBS control.

Effect on Tumor Growth


Tumor size was measured twice weekly in two dimensions using a caliper, and tumor volumes were calculated using the formula: V=0.536×a×b2, where a and b are the long and short diameters of the tumor, respectively. The tumor size was utilized for calculations of the T−C and TV/CV values. T−C was calculated with T as the median time (in days) required for the tumors in the treatment groups to reach a pre-determined size (900 mm3), and C as the median time (in days) for the tumors in the control group to reach the same size. The TV/CV value (expressed as percentage) is an indication of the anti-tumor effectiveness of the ISIS oligonucleotides, where TV and CV were the mean volume of the treated and control groups, respectively, on a given day (day 32).


The results are presented in Tables 68 and 69. The data indicates that inhibition of STAT3 mRNA significantly impeded tumor growth.

BALB/c nude mice inoculated with human epidermoid cancer cells A431 were treated with ISIS 455291. The effect of the treatment on tumor growth and tolerability in the mice was evaluated.


Treatment


The study was conducted at Pharmaron Inc (Beijing, P.R. China). The BALB/c nude mice were obtained from Beijing HFK Bio-Technology Co., Ltd. A431 human epidermoid carcinoma cells were maintained in vitro as a monolayer culture in DMEM medium supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated fetal calf serum, 100 U/mL penicillin, 100 mg/mL streptomycin, and 2 mM L-glutamine. The cells were maintained at 37° C. in an atmosphere of 5% CO2 in air. The tumor cells were routinely sub-cultured twice weekly with trypsin-EDTA treatment. Cells growing in an exponential growth phase were harvested and counted for tumor inoculation.


Two groups of eight randomly assigned 6-8 week-old female BALB/c nude mice each were inoculated subcutaneously with 5×106 A431 tumor cells for tumor development. Antisense oligonucleotide treatment started at day 8 after tumor inoculation when the mean tumor size reached approximately 95 mm3. One of the groups was injected intraperitoneally twice a week for 4 weeks with 50 mg/kg of ISIS 455291. The other group of mice was injected intraperitoneally twice a week for 3 weeks with PBS, and served as the control group.


All procedures related to animal handling, care, and treatment, were performed according to the guidelines approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC).

Example 52
Effect of Antisense Inhibition of Human STAT3 in a Human Glioblastoma Orthotopic Mouse Model

NU/J mice orthotopically implanted with human glioblastoma cells were treated with ISIS 455291, a 5-10-5 MOE gapmer having a sequence of CAGCAGATCAAGTCCAGGGA (SEQ ID NO: 1590. The effect of the treatment on tumor growth and tolerability in the mice was evaluated.


Treatment


Thirty NU/J mice were stereotactically implanted in the right frontal lobe with 5×105 U-87 MG-luc2 cells. On day 15 after tumor cell implantation, 15 of these mice were dosed intracranially with a bolus injection at the site of tumor implantation with 100 μg of ISIS 455291, which was dissolved in 2 μL of PBS. The remaining 15 mice were dosed intracranially with a bolus injection at the site of tumor implantation with 2 μL of PBS. The second group of mice served as the control group.


Analysis


On day 18 after tumor transplantation, five mice from each group were euthanized by CO2 inhalation and brain samples were collected for RNA analysis. RNA was extracted from tumor tissue for real-time PCR analysis of human STAT3 mRNA levels using primer probe set RTS199, described hereinabove. Treatment with ISIS 455291 resulted in 27% reduction of human STAT3 mRNA in the tumor tissue in comparison to the PBS control.


The remaining mice in each group were monitored regularly up to 2 weeks for survival analysis. The median survival for the PBS control group was 30.5 days. The medial survival for the ISIS oligonucleotide-treated mice was 35 days. The P value was 0.2088.
