FIELD

The present embodiments provide methods, compounds, and compositions useful for inhibiting APOL1 (apolipoprotein L, 1) expression, and in certain instances, reducing the amount of APOL1 protein in a cell or animal, which can be useful for treating, preventing, or ameliorating a disease associated with APOL1.


BACKGROUND

End-stage kidney disease (ESKD) affects over half a million individuals in the United States. In the US, the likelihood that individuals of African ancestry will develop ESKD is approximately twice that observed among other ethnic ancestry patients (McClellan W. et al. Am. J. Kidney Dis. 1988. 12: 285-290; Cowie C C. et al. N. Engl. J. Med. 1989. 321: 1074-1079). There are no specific therapies for the vast majority of kidney diseases. Anti-hypertensive and anti-inflamatory treatments have been found to slow progression and reduce symptoms in some patients for some types of chronic kidney disease (CKD), but they neither result in disease resolution nor completely halt disease progression.


Recent data has suggested the association of two common variants (G1 and G2) in the last exon of APOL1 among African ancestry patients and increased risk for developing CKD (Kao W H et al. Nat. Genet. 2008. 40: 1185-1192; Lipkowitz M S et al. Kidney Int. 2013. 83: 114-120; Genovese G. et al. Science. 2010. 329: 841-845; Tzur et al. Hum Genet. 2010; Kopp et al. J Am Soc Nephrol. 2011). In a 2013 study, G1 and G2 risk variants in APOL1 were associated with higher rates of ESKD and progression of CKD that were observed in African ancestry patients as compared to other ethnic ancestry groups, regardless of diabetes status (Parsa A et al. N. Engl. J. Med. 2013. 369: 2183-2196). Approximately 50% of African ancestry subjects carry one risk allelle in APOL1 whilst approximately 13% of African ancestry subjects (˜five million individuals) carry two risk alleles in APOL1, a substantial fraction of which will develop APOL1-associated CKD. Studies in African ancestry subjects with two APOL1 risk alleles have demonstrated increased odds ratios for developing many forms of renal disease including but not limited to focal segmental glomerularsclerosis (FSGS) (OR=10.5), hypertension attributed ESKD (OR=7.3), HIV associated nephropathy (HIVAN) (OR=29), sickle cell nephropathy (OR=3.4) and membranous lupus nephropathy (OR=5.4) (Genovese et al. Science, 2010; Tzur et al. Hum Genet. 2010; Kopp et al. J Am Soc Nephrol. 2011).

In certain embodiments, compounds described herein are capable of hybridizing to a target nucleic acid, resulting in at least one antisense activity. In certain embodiments, compounds described herein selectively affect one or more target nucleic acid. Such compounds comprise a nucleobase sequence that hybridizes to one or more target nucleic acid, resulting in one or more desired antisense activity and does not hybridize to one or more non-target nucleic acid or does not hybridize to one or more non-target nucleic acid in such a way that results in a significant undesired antisense activity.


In certain antisense activities, hybridization of a compound described herein to a target nucleic acid results in recruitment of a protein that cleaves the target nucleic acid. For example, certain compounds described herein result in RNase H mediated cleavage of the target nucleic acid. RNase H is a cellular endonuclease that cleaves the RNA strand of an RNA:DNA duplex. The DNA in such an RNA:DNA duplex need not be unmodified DNA. In certain embodiments, compounds described herein are sufficiently “DNA-like” to elicit RNase H activity. Further, in certain embodiments, one or more non-DNA-like nucleoside in the gap of a gapmer is tolerated.


In certain antisense activities, compounds described herein or a portion of the compound is loaded into an RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), ultimately resulting in cleavage of the target nucleic acid. For example, certain compounds described herein result in cleavage of the target nucleic acid by Argonaute. Compounds that are loaded into RISC are RNAi compounds. RNAi compounds may be double-stranded (siRNA) or single-stranded (ssRNA).


In certain embodiments, hybridization of compounds described herein to a target nucleic acid does not result in recruitment of a protein that cleaves that target nucleic acid. In certain such embodiments, hybridization of the compound to the target nucleic acid results in alteration of splicing of the target nucleic acid. In certain embodiments, hybridization of the compound to a target nucleic acid results in inhibition of a binding interaction between the target nucleic acid and a protein or other nucleic acid. In certain such embodiments, hybridization of the compound to a target nucleic acid results in alteration of translation of the target nucleic acid.


Antisense activities may be observed directly or indirectly. In certain embodiments, observation or detection of an antisense activity involves observation or detection of a change in an amount of a target nucleic acid or protein encoded by such target nucleic acid, a change in the ratio of splice variants of a nucleic acid or protein, and/or a phenotypic change in a cell or animal.


Target Nucleic Acids, Target Regions and Nucleotide Sequences


In certain embodiments, compounds described herein comprise or consist of an oligonucleotide comprising a region that is complementary to a target nucleic acid. In certain embodiments, the target nucleic acid is an endogenous RNA molecule. In certain embodiments, the target nucleic acid encodes a protein. In certain such embodiments, the target nucleic acid is selected from: an mRNA and a pre-mRNA, including intronic, exonic and untranslated regions. In certain embodiments, the target RNA is an mRNA. In certain embodiments, the target nucleic acid is a pre-mRNA. In certain such embodiments, the target region is entirely within an intron. In certain embodiments, the target region spans an intron/exon junction. In certain embodiments, the target region is at least 50% within an intron.


Nucleotide sequences that encode APOL1 include, without limitation, the following: RefSEQ No. NM_003661.3 (incorporated by reference, disclosed herein as SEQ ID NO: 1), NT_011520.9 truncated from nucleotides 15986452 to Ser. No. 16/001,905 (SEQ ID NO: 2), NM_001136541.1 (SEQ ID NO: 3), NM_001136540.1 (SEQ ID NO: 4), NM_145343.2 (SEQ ID NO: 5), DC339680.1 (SEQ ID NO: 6), AK309143.1 (SEQ ID NO: 7), NT_011520.13 truncated from nucleotides 17543446 to Ser. No. 17/543,655 (SEQ ID NO: 8), or NC_000022.11 truncated from nucleotides 36250001 to 36271000 (SEQ ID NO: 9).


Hybridization


In some embodiments, hybridization occurs between a compound disclosed herein and a APOL1 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. Hybridization 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 compounds provided herein are specifically hybridizable with a APOL1 nucleic acid.


Complementarity


An oligonucleotide is said to be complementary to another nucleic acid when the nucleobase sequence of such oligonucleotide or one or more regions thereof matches the nucleobase sequence of another oligonucleotide or nucleic acid or one or more regions thereof when the two nucleobase sequences are aligned in opposing directions. Nucleobase matches or complementary nucleobases, as described herein, are limited to the following pairs: adenine (A) and thymine (T), adenine (A) and uracil (U), cytosine (C) and guanine (G), and 5-methyl cytosine (mC) and guanine (G) unless otherwise specified. Complementary oligonucleotides and/or nucleic acids need not have nucleobase complementarity at each nucleoside and may include one or more nucleobase mismatches. An oligonucleotide is fully complementary or 100% complementary when such oligonucleotides have nucleobase matches at each nucleoside without any nucleobase mismatches.


In certain embodiments, compounds described herein comprise or consist of modified oligonucleotides. In certain embodiments, compounds described herein are antisense compounds. In certain embodiments, compounds comprise oligomeric compounds. Non-complementary nucleobases between a compound and a APOL1 nucleic acid may be tolerated provided that the compound remains able to specifically hybridize to a target nucleic acid. Moreover, a compound may hybridize over one or more segments of a APOL1 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 compounds provided herein, or a specified portion thereof, are, are at least, or are up to 70%, 80%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, or 100% complementary to a APOL1 nucleic acid, a target region, target segment, or specified portion thereof. In certain embodiments, the compounds provided herein, or a specified portion thereof, are 70% to 75%, 75% to 80%, 80% to 85%, 85% to 90%, 90% to 95%, 95% to 100%, or any number in between these ranges, complementary to a APOL1 nucleic acid, a target region, target segment, or specified portion thereof. Percent complementarity of a compound with a target nucleic acid can be determined using routine methods.


For example, a compound in which 18 of 20 nucleobases of the compound are complementary to a target region, and would therefore specifically hybridize, would represent 90 percent complementarity. In this example, the remaining non-complementary nucleobases may be clustered or interspersed with complementary nucleobases and need not be contiguous to each other or to complementary nucleobases. As such, a compound which is 18 nucleobases in length having four non-complementary 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. Percent complementarity of a 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, compounds described herein, or specified portions thereof, are fully complementary (i.e. 100% complementary) to a target nucleic acid, or specified portion thereof. For example, a compound may be fully complementary to a APOL1 nucleic acid, or a target region, or a target segment or target sequence thereof. As used herein, “fully complementary” means each nucleobase of a compound is complementary to the corresponding nucleobase of a target nucleic acid. For example, a 20 nucleobase 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 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 compound can be “fully complementary” to a target sequence that is 400 nucleobases long. The 20 nucleobase portion of the 30 nucleobase compound 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 compound. At the same time, the entire 30 nucleobase compound may or may not be fully complementary to the target sequence, depending on whether the remaining 10 nucleobases of the compound are also complementary to the target sequence.


In certain embodiments, compounds described herein comprise one or more mismatched nucleobases relative to the target nucleic acid. In certain such embodiments, antisense activity against the target is reduced by such mismatch, but activity against a non-target is reduced by a greater amount. Thus, in certain such embodiments selectivity of the compound is improved. In certain embodiments, the mismatch is specifically positioned within an oligonucleotide having a gapmer motif. In certain such embodiments, the mismatch is at position 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 from the 5′-end of the gap region. In certain such embodiments, the mismatch is at position 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 from the 3′-end of the gap region. In certain such embodiments, the mismatch is at position 1, 2, 3, or 4 from the 5′-end of the wing region. In certain such embodiments, the mismatch is at position 4, 3, 2, or 1 from the 3′-end of the wing region. In certain embodiments, the mismatch is specifically positioned within an oligonucleotide not having a gapmer motif. In certain such embodiments, the mismatch is at position 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, or 12 from the 5′-end of the oligonucleotide. In certain such embodiments, the mismatch is at position, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, or 12 from the 3′-end of the oligonucleotide.


The location of a non-complementary nucleobase may be at the 5′ end or 3′ end of the compound. Alternatively, the non-complementary nucleobase or nucleobases may be at an internal position of the 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 oligonucleotide.


In certain embodiments, compounds described herein 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 APOL1 nucleic acid, or specified portion thereof.


In certain embodiments, compounds described herein 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 APOL1 nucleic acid, or specified portion thereof.


In certain embodiments, compounds described 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 a compound. In certain embodiments, the compounds, are complementary to at least an 8 nucleobase portion of a target segment. In certain embodiments, the compounds are complementary to at least a 9 nucleobase portion of a target segment. In certain embodiments, the compounds are complementary to at least a 10 nucleobase portion of a target segment. In certain embodiments, the compounds are complementary to at least an 11 nucleobase portion of a target segment. In certain embodiments, the compounds are complementary to at least a 12 nucleobase portion of a target segment.

In certain embodiments, compounds described herein are antisense compounds or oligomeric compounds. In certain embodiments, compounds described herein are modified oligonucleotides. As used herein, a 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 compounds described herein as well as compounds having non-identical bases relative to the compounds provided herein also are contemplated. The non-identical bases may be adjacent to each other or dispersed throughout the compound. Percent identity of an compound is calculated according to the number of bases that have identical base pairing relative to the sequence to which it is being compared.

α-L-methyleneoxy (4′-CH2—O-2′) or α-L-LNA bicyclic nucleosides have been incorporated into oligonucleotides that showed antisense activity (Frieden et al., Nucleic Acids Research, 2003, 21, 6365-6372). Herein, general descriptions of bicyclic nucleosides include both isomeric configurations. When the positions of specific bicyclic nucleosides (e.g., LNA or cEt) are identified in exemplified embodiments herein, they are in the β-D configuration, unless otherwise specified.


In certain embodiments, modified sugar moieties comprise one or more non-bridging sugar substituent and one or more bridging sugar substituent (e.g., 5′-substituted and 4′-2′ bridged sugars).


In certain embodiments, modified sugar moieties are sugar surrogates. In certain such embodiments, the oxygen atom of the sugar moiety is replaced, e.g., with a sulfur, carbon or nitrogen atom. In certain such embodiments, such modified sugar moieties also comprise bridging and/or non-bridging substituents as described herein. For example, certain sugar surrogates comprise a 4′-sulfur atom and a substitution at the 2′-position (see, e.g., Bhat et al., U.S. Pat. No. 7,875,733 and Bhat et al., U.S. Pat. No. 7,939,677) and/or the 5′ position.


In certain embodiments, sugar surrogates comprise rings having other than 5 atoms. For example, in certain embodiments, a sugar surrogate comprises a six-membered tetrahydropyran (“THP”). Such tetrahydropyrans may be further modified or substituted. Nucleosides comprising such modified tetrahydropyrans include but are not limited to hexitol nucleic acid (“HNA”), anitol nucleic acid (“ANA”), manitol nucleic acid (“MNA”) (see e.g., Leumann, C J. Bioorg. & Med. Chem. 2002, 10, 841-854), fluoro HNA:

(“F-HNA”, see e.g., Swayze et al., U.S. Pat. No. 8,088,904; Swayze et al., U.S. Pat. No. 8,440,803; and Swayze et al., U.S. Pat. No. 9,005,906, F-HNA can also be referred to as a F-THP or 3′-fluoro tetrahydropyran), and nucleosides comprising additional modified THP compounds having the formula:

In certain embodiments, at least one of q1, q2, q3, q4, q5, q6 and q7 is methyl. In certain embodiments, modified THP nucleosides are provided wherein one of R1 and R2 is F. In certain embodiments, R1 is F and R2 is H, in certain embodiments, R1 is methoxy and R2 is H, and in certain embodiments, R1 is methoxyethoxy and R2 is H.


In certain embodiments, sugar surrogates comprise rings having more than 5 atoms and more than one heteroatom. For example, nucleosides comprising morpholino sugar moieties and their use in oligonucleotides have been reported (see, e.g., Braasch et al., Biochemistry, 2002, 41, 4503-4510 and Summerton et al., U.S. Pat.

In certain embodiments, morpholinos may be modified, for example by adding or altering various substituent groups from the above morpholino structure. Such sugar surrogates are referred to herein as “modified morpholinos.”


In certain embodiments, sugar surrogates comprise acyclic moieties. Examples of nucleosides and oligonucleotides comprising such acyclic sugar surrogates include but are not limited to: peptide nucleic acid (“PNA”), acyclic butyl nucleic acid (see, e.g., Kumar et al., Org.

Modified Internucleoside Linkages


The naturally occurring internucleoside linkage of RNA and DNA is a 3′ to 5′ phosphodiester linkage In certain embodiments, compounds described herein having one or more modified, i.e. non-naturally occurring, internucleoside linkages are often selected over 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.


Representative internucleoside linkages having a chiral center include but are not limited to alkylphosphonates and phosphorothioates. Modified oligonucleotides comprising internucleoside linkages having a chiral center can be prepared as populations of modified oligonucleotides comprising stereorandom internucleoside linkages, or as populations of modified oligonucleotides comprising phosphorothioate linkages in particular stereochemical configurations. In certain embodiments, populations of modified oligonucleotides comprise phosphorothioate internucleoside linkages wherein all of the phosphorothioate internucleoside linkages are stereorandom. Such modified oligonucleotides can be generated using synthetic methods that result in random selection of the stereochemical configuration of each phosphorothioate linkage. Nonetheless, as is well understood by those of skill in the art, each individual phosphorothioate of each individual oligonucleotide molecule has a defined stereoconfiguration. In certain embodiments, populations of modified oligonucleotides are enriched for modified oligonucleotides comprising one or more particular phosphorothioate internucleoside linkages in a particular, independently selected stereochemical configuration. In certain embodiments, the particular configuration of the particular phosphorothioate linkage is present in at least 65% of the molecules in the population. In certain embodiments, the particular configuration of the particular phosphorothioate linkage is present in at least 70% of the molecules in the population.

In certain embodiments, the particular configuration of the particular phosphorothioate linkage is present in at least 99% of the molecules in the population. Such chirally enriched populations of modified oligonucleotides can be generated using synthetic methods known in the art, e.g., methods described in Oka et al., JACS 125, 8307 (2003), Wan et al. Nuc. Acid. Res. 42, 13456 (2014), and WO 2017/015555.

Modified internucleoside linkages, compared to naturally occurring phosphate linkages, can be used to alter, typically increase, nuclease resistance of the oligonucleotide. In certain embodiments, internucleoside linkages having a chiral atom can be prepared as a racemic mixture, or as separate enantiomers. Representative chiral internucleoside linkages include but are not limited to alkylphosphonates and phosphorothioates.

In certain embodiments the internucleoside linkages in the wings are phosphodiester and the internucleoside linkages in the gap are phosphorothioate. The nucleoside motif is independently selected, so such oligonucleotides having a gapped internucleoside linkage motif may or may not have a gapped nucleoside motif and if it does have a gapped nucleoside motif, the wing and gap lengths may or may not be the same.


In certain embodiments, oligonucleotides comprise a region having an alternating internucleoside linkage motif.

In certain embodiments, one methylphosponate linkage is in the central gap of an oligonucleotide having a gapmer nucleoside motif.


In certain embodiments, it is desirable to arrange the number of phosphorothioate internucleoside linkages and phosphodiester internucleoside linkages to maintain nuclease resistance. In certain embodiments, it is desirable to arrange the number and position of phosphorothioate internucleoside linkages and the number and position of phosphodiester internucleoside linkages to maintain nuclease resistance. In certain embodiments, the number of phosphorothioate internucleoside linkages may be decreased and the number of phosphodiester internucleoside linkages may be increased. In certain embodiments, the number of phosphorothioate internucleoside linkages may be decreased and the number of phosphodiester internucleoside linkages may be increased while still maintaining nuclease resistance.

In certain embodiments, the patterns of sugar moieties, nucleobases, and internucleoside linkages are each independent of one another. Thus, a modified oligonucleotide may be described by its sugar motif, nucleobase motif and/or internucleoside linkage motif (as used herein, nucleobase motif describes the modifications to the nucleobases independent of the sequence of nucleobases).


a. Certain Sugar Motifs


In certain embodiments, compounds described herein comprise oligonucleotides. In certain embodiments, oligonucleotides comprise one or more type of modified sugar and/or unmodified sugar moiety arranged along the oligonucleotide or region thereof in a defined pattern or sugar motif. In certain instances, such sugar motifs include but are not limited to any of the sugar modifications discussed herein.


In certain embodiments, modified oligonucleotides comprise or consist of a region having a gapmer motif, which comprises two external regions or “wings” and a central or internal region or “gap.” The three regions of a gapmer motif (the 5′-wing, the gap, and the 3′-wing) form a contiguous sequence of nucleosides wherein at least some of the sugar moieties of the nucleosides of each of the wings differ from at least some of the sugar moieties of the nucleosides of the gap. Specifically, at least the sugar moieties of the nucleosides of each wing that are closest to the gap (the 3′-most nucleoside of the 5′-wing and the 5′-most nucleoside of the 3′-wing) differ from the sugar moiety of the neighboring gap nucleosides, thus defining the boundary between the wings and the gap (i.e., the wing/gap junction). In certain embodiments, the sugar moieties within the gap are the same as one another. In certain embodiments, the gap includes one or more nucleoside having a sugar moiety that differs from the sugar moiety of one or more other nucleosides of the gap.

c. Certain Internucleoside Linkage Motifs


In certain embodiments, compounds described herein comprise oligonucleotides. In certain embodiments, oligonucleotides comprise modified and/or unmodified internucleoside linkages arranged along the oligonucleotide or region thereof in a defined pattern or motif. In certain embodiments, essentially each internucleoside linking group is a phosphate internucleoside linkage (P═O). In certain embodiments, each internucleoside linking group of a modified oligonucleotide is a phosphorothioate (P═S). In certain embodiments, each internucleoside linking group of a modified oligonucleotide is independently selected from a phosphorothioate and phosphate internucleoside linkage. In certain embodiments, the sugar motif of a modified oligonucleotide is a gapmer and the internucleoside linkages within the gap are all modified. In certain such embodiments, some or all of the internucleoside linkages in the wings are unmodified phosphate linkages. In certain embodiments, the terminal internucleoside linkages are modified. In certain embodiments, the sugar motif of a modified oligonucleotide is a gapmer, and the internucleoside linkage motif comprises at least one phosphodiester internucleoside linkage in at least one wing, wherein the at least one phosphodiester linkage is not a terminal internucleoside linkage, and the remaining internucleoside linkages are phosphorothioate internucleoside linkages. In certain such embodiments, all of the phosphorothioate linkages are stereorandom. In certain embodiments, all of the phosphorothioate linkages in the wings are (Sp) phosphorothioates, and the gap comprises at least one Sp, Sp, Rp motif. In certain embodiments, populations of modified oligonucleotides are enriched for modified oligonucleotides comprising such internucleoside linkage motifs.


4. Certain Modified Oligonucleotides


In certain embodiments, compounds described herein comprise modified oligonucleotides. In certain embodiments, the above modifications (sugar, nucleobase, internucleoside linkage) are incorporated into a modified oligonucleotide. In certain embodiments, modified oligonucleotides are characterized by their modification, motifs, and overall lengths. In certain embodiments, such parameters are each independent of one another. Thus, unless otherwise indicated, each internucleoside linkage of an oligonucleotide having a gapmer sugar motif may be modified or unmodified and may or may not follow the gapmer modification pattern of the sugar modifications. For example, the internucleoside linkages within the wing regions of a sugar gapmer may be the same or different from one another and may be the same or different from the internucleoside linkages of the gap region of the sugar motif. Likewise, such gapmer oligonucleotides may comprise one or more modified nucleobase independent of the gapmer pattern of the sugar modifications. Furthermore, in certain instances, an oligonucleotide is described by an overall length or range and by lengths or length ranges of two or more regions (e.g., a regions of nucleosides having specified sugar modifications), in such circumstances it may be possible to select numbers for each range that result in an oligonucleotide having an overall length falling outside the specified range. In such circumstances, both elements must be satisfied. For example, in certain embodiments, a modified oligonucleotide consists of 15-20 linked nucleosides and has a sugar motif consisting of three regions, A, B, and C, wherein region A consists of 2-6 linked nucleosides having a specified sugar motif, region B consists of 6-10 linked nucleosides having a specified sugar motif, and region C consists of 2-6 linked nucleosides having a specified sugar motif. Such embodiments do not include modified oligonucleotides where A and C each consist of 6 linked nucleosides and B consists of 10 linked nucleosides (even though those numbers of nucleosides are permitted within the requirements for A, B, and C) because the overall length of such oligonucleotide is 22, which exceeds the upper limit of the overall length of the modified oligonucleotide (20). Herein, if a description of an oligonucleotide is silent with respect to one or more parameter, such parameter is not limited. Thus, a modified oligonucleotide described only as having a gapmer sugar motif without further description may have any length, internucleoside linkage motif, and nucleobase motif. Unless otherwise indicated, all modifications are independent of nucleobase sequence.

2. Conjugate Linkers


Conjugate moieties are attached to oligonucleotides through conjugate linkers. In certain compounds, a conjugate group is a single chemical bond (i.e. conjugate moiety is attached to an oligonucleotide via a conjugate linker through a single bond). In certain embodiments, the conjugate linker comprises a chain structure, such as a hydrocarbyl chain, or an oligomer of repeating units such as ethylene glycol, nucleosides, or amino acid units.


In certain embodiments, a conjugate linker comprises one or more groups selected from alkyl, amino, oxo, amide, disulfide, polyethylene glycol, ether, thioether, and hydroxylamino. In certain such embodiments, the conjugate linker comprises groups selected from alkyl, amino, oxo, amide and ether groups. In certain embodiments, the conjugate linker comprises groups selected from alkyl and amide groups. In certain embodiments, the conjugate linker comprises groups selected from alkyl and ether groups. In certain embodiments, the conjugate linker comprises at least one phosphorus moiety. In certain embodiments, the conjugate linker comprises at least one phosphate group. In certain embodiments, the conjugate linker includes at least one neutral linking group.


In certain embodiments, conjugate linkers, including the conjugate linkers described above, are bifunctional linking moieties, e.g., those known in the art to be useful for attaching conjugate groups to parent compounds, such as the oligonucleotides provided herein. In general, a bifunctional linking moiety comprises at least two functional groups. One of the functional groups is selected to bind to a particular site on a compound and the other is selected to bind to a conjugate group. Examples of functional groups used in a bifunctional linking moiety include but are not limited to electrophiles for reacting with nucleophilic groups and nucleophiles for reacting with electrophilic groups. In certain embodiments, bifunctional linking moieties comprise one or more groups selected from amino, hydroxyl, carboxylic acid, thiol, alkyl, alkenyl, and alkynyl.


Examples of conjugate linkers include but are not limited to pyrrolidine, 8-amino-3,6-dioxaoctanoic acid (ADO), succinimidyl 4-(N-maleimidomethyl) cyclohexane-1-carboxylate (SMCC) and 6-aminohexanoic acid (AHEX or AHA). Other conjugate linkers include but are not limited to substituted or unsubstituted C1-C10 alkyl, substituted or unsubstituted C2-C10 alkenyl or substituted or unsubstituted C2-C10 alkynyl, wherein a nonlimiting list of preferred substituent groups includes hydroxyl, amino, alkoxy, carboxy, benzyl, phenyl, nitro, thiol, thioalkoxy, halogen, alkyl, aryl, alkenyl and alkynyl.


In certain embodiments, conjugate linkers comprise 1-10 linker-nucleosides. In certain embodiments, such linker-nucleosides are modified nucleosides. In certain embodiments such linker-nucleosides comprise a modified sugar moiety. In certain embodiments, linker-nucleosides are unmodified. In certain embodiments, linker-nucleosides comprise an optionally protected heterocyclic base selected from a purine, substituted purine, pyrimidine or substituted pyrimidine. In certain embodiments, a cleavable moiety is a nucleoside selected from uracil, thymine, cytosine, 4-N-benzoylcytosine, 5-methylcytosine, 4-N-benzoyl-5-methylcytosine, adenine, 6-N-benzoyladenine, guanine and 2-N-isobutyrylguanine. It is typically desirable for linker-nucleosides to be cleaved from the compound after it reaches a target tissue. Accordingly, linker-nucleosides are typically linked to one another and to the remainder of the compound through cleavable bonds. In certain embodiments, such cleavable bonds are phosphodiester bonds.


Herein, linker-nucleosides are not considered to be part of the oligonucleotide. Accordingly, in embodiments in which a compound comprises an oligonucleotide consisting of a specified number or range of linked nucleosides and/or a specified percent complementarity to a reference nucleic acid and the compound also comprises a conjugate group comprising a conjugate linker comprising linker-nucleosides, those linker-nucleosides are not counted toward the length of the oligonucleotide and are not used in determining the percent complementarity of the oligonucleotide for the reference nucleic acid. For example, a compound may comprise (1) a modified oligonucleotide consisting of 8-30 nucleosides and (2) a conjugate group comprising 1-10 linker-nucleosides that are contiguous with the nucleosides of the modified oligonucleotide. The total number of contiguous linked nucleosides in such a compound is more than 30. Alternatively, an compound may comprise a modified oligonucleotide consisting of 8-30 nucleosides and no conjugate group. The total number of contiguous linked nucleosides in such a compound is no more than 30. Unless otherwise indicated conjugate linkers comprise no more than 10 linker-nucleosides. In certain embodiments, conjugate linkers comprise no more than 5 linker-nucleosides. In certain embodiments, conjugate linkers comprise no more than 3 linker-nucleosides. In certain embodiments, conjugate linkers comprise no more than 2 linker-nucleosides. In certain embodiments, conjugate linkers comprise no more than 1 linker-nucleoside.


In certain embodiments, it is desirable for a conjugate group to be cleaved from the oligonucleotide. For example, in certain circumstances compounds comprising a particular conjugate moiety are better taken up by a particular cell type, but once the compound has been taken up, it is desirable that the conjugate group be cleaved to release the unconjugated or parent oligonucleotide. Thus, certain conjugate may comprise one or more cleavable moieties, typically within the conjugate linker. In certain embodiments, a cleavable moiety is a cleavable bond. In certain embodiments, a cleavable moiety is a group of atoms comprising at least one cleavable bond. In certain embodiments, a cleavable moiety comprises a group of atoms having one, two, three, four, or more than four cleavable bonds. In certain embodiments, a cleavable moiety is selectively cleaved inside a cell or subcellular compartment, such as a lysosome. In certain embodiments, a cleavable moiety is selectively cleaved by endogenous enzymes, such as nucleases.


In certain embodiments, a cleavable bond is selected from among: an amide, an ester, an ether, one or both esters of a phosphodiester, a phosphate ester, a carbamate, or a disulfide. In certain embodiments, a cleavable bond is one or both of the esters of a phosphodiester. In certain embodiments, a cleavable moiety comprises a phosphate or phosphodiester. In certain embodiments, the cleavable moiety is a phosphate linkage between an oligonucleotide and a conjugate moiety or conjugate group.


In certain embodiments, a cleavable moiety comprises or consists of one or more linker-nucleosides. In certain such embodiments, one or more linker-nucleosides are linked to one another and/or to the remainder of the compound through cleavable bonds. In certain embodiments, such cleavable bonds are unmodified phosphodiester bonds. In certain embodiments, a cleavable moiety is 2′-deoxy nucleoside that is attached to either the 3′ or 5′-terminal nucleoside of an oligonucleotide by a phosphate internucleoside linkage and covalently attached to the remainder of the conjugate linker or conjugate moiety by a phosphate or phosphorothioate linkage. In certain such embodiments, the cleavable moiety is 2′-deoxyadenosine.

Certain Selected Compounds


Approximately 1930 newly designed compounds and a few previously disclosed compounds of various lengths, chemistries, and motifs were tested for their effect on human APOL1 mRNA in vitro in several cell types (Example 1). Of 1930 compounds tested for potency at a single dose in vitro, 373 selected compounds were tested for dose dependent inhibition in A431 cells (Example 2). Of the 373 compounds tested by dose response assays, 86 oligonucleotides were selected for in vivo efficacy and tolerability in rodents.


In the in vivo rodent tolerability models, body weights and organ weights, liver function markers (such as alanine transaminase, aspartate transaminase and bilirubin), hematology markers (such as HCT, white blood cell counts, platelet counts, RBC counts, MCH, and MCHC), and kidney function markers (such as BUN and creatinine) were measured. In the hAPOL1 transgenic mouse model, in vivo reduction of hAPOL1 mRNA was measured.


ION #s 793406, 904763, 905469, 905505, 905634, 905665, 972190, and 972163 were tested for activity, pharmacokinetic profile and tolerability in cynomolgus monkeys (Example 9). Treatment with some of the compounds caused reduction of APOL1 mRNA expression in liver tissue. Specifically, treatment with ION 904763 and ION 972190, which were cross-reactive with the APOL1 cynomolgus monkey gene sequence, caused significant reduction of APOL1 mRNA expression in liver tissue, compared to the PBS control. It was noted that ION 972190 caused the highest reduction of APOL1 mRNA expression compared to the PBS control. Treatment with the compounds was well tolerated in the monkeys, in particular, treatment with ION 972190.


Accordingly, provided herein are compounds with any one or more of the improved properties. In certain embodiments, the compounds as described herein are potent and tolerable.

Non-Limiting Disclosure and Incorporation by Reference


Although the sequence listing accompanying this filing identifies each sequence as either “RNA” or “DNA” as required, in reality, those sequences may be modified with any combination of chemical modifications. One of skill in the art will readily appreciate that such designation as “RNA” or “DNA” to describe modified oligonucleotides is, in certain instances, arbitrary. For example, an oligonucleotide comprising a nucleoside comprising a 2′-OH sugar moiety and a thymine base could be described as a DNA having a modified sugar (2′-OH for the natural 2′-H of DNA) or as an RNA having a modified base (thymine (methylated uracil) for natural uracil of RNA).


Accordingly, nucleic acid sequences provided herein, including, but not limited to those in the sequence listing, are intended to encompass nucleic acids containing any combination of natural or modified RNA and/or DNA, including, but not limited to such nucleic acids having modified nucleobases. By way of further example and without limitation, an oligonucleotide having the nucleobase sequence “ATCGATCG” encompasses any oligonucleotides having such nucleobase sequence, whether modified or unmodified, including, but not limited to, such compounds comprising RNA bases, such as those having sequence “AUCGAUCG” and those having some DNA bases and some RNA bases such as “AUCGATCG” and compounds having other modified nucleobases, such as “ATmCGAUCG,” wherein mC indicates a cytosine base comprising a methyl group at the 5-position.


Certain compounds described herein (e.g. modified oligonucleotides) have one or more asymmetric centers and thus give rise to enantiomers, diastereomers, and other stereoisomeric configurations that may be defined, in terms of absolute stereochemistry, as (R) or (S), as a or (3, such as for sugar anomers, or as (D) or (L), such as for amino acids, etc. Compounds provided herein that are drawn or described as having certain stereoisomeric configurations include only the indicated compounds. Compounds provided herein that are drawn or described with undefined stereochemistry include all such possible isomers, including their stereorandom and optically pure forms. Likewise, all tautomeric forms of the compounds provided herein are included unless otherwise indicated. Unless otherwise indicated, oligomeric compounds and modified oligonucleotides described herein are intended to include corresponding salt forms.


Compounds described herein include variations in which one or more atoms are replaced with a non-radioactive isotope or radioactive isotope of the indicated element. For example, compounds herein that comprise hydrogen atoms encompass all possible deuterium substitutions for each of the 1H hydrogen atoms. Isotopic substitutions encompassed by the compounds herein include but are not limited to: 2H or 3H in place of 1H, 13C or 14C in place of 12C, 15N in place of 14N, 17O or 18O in place of 16O, and 33S, 34S, 35S, or 36S in place of 32S.


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 APOL1 in A431 Cells

Antisense oligonucleotides with various chemistry motifs were designed targeting an APOL1 nucleic acid and were tested for their effects on APOL1 mRNA in vitro.


3-10-3 cEt Gapmers


The newly designed chimeric antisense oligonucleotides in the Tables below were designed as 3-10-3 cEt gapmers. The gapmers are 16 nucleosides in length, wherein the central gap segment comprises of ten 2′-deoxynucleosides and is flanked by wing segments on the 5′ direction and the 3′ direction comprising three nucleosides each. Each nucleoside in the 5′ wing segment and each nucleoside in the 3′ wing segment has a cEt modification. The internucleoside linkages throughout each gapmer are phosphorothioate (P═S) linkages. All cytosine residues throughout each gapmer are 5-methylcytosines.


“Start site” indicates the 5′-most nucleoside to which the gapmer is targeted in the human gene sequence. “Stop site” indicates the 3′-most nucleoside to which the gapmer is targeted human gene sequence. Each gapmer listed in the Tables below is targeted to either the human APOL1 mRNA, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 1 (GENBANK Accession No. NM_003661.3) or the human APOL1 genomic sequence, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 2 (GENBANK Accession No. NT_011520.9 truncated from nucleotides 15986452 to Ser. No. 16/001,905). ‘n/a’ indicates that the antisense oligonucleotide does not target that particular gene sequence with 100% complementarity.


The antisense oligonucleotides were tested in a series of experiments that had similar culture conditions. The results for each experiment are presented in separate tables shown below. Cultured A431 cells at a density of 10,000 cells per well were transfected by free uptake with 4,000 nM antisense oligonucleotide. After a treatment period of approximately 24 hours, RNA was isolated from the cells and APOL1 mRNA levels were measured by quantitative real-time PCR. Human primer probe set RTS35962 (forward sequence GCTACTCCTGCTGACTGATAATG, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 10; reverse sequence AAGGTTGTCCAGAGCTTTACG, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 11; probe sequence TGCCCAGGAATGAGGCAGATGAG, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 12) was used to measure mRNA levels. APOL1 mRNA levels were adjusted according to total RNA content, as measured by RIBOGREEN®. Results are presented as percent inhibition of APOL1, relative to untreated control cells. Oligonucleotides listed in Table 28 were screened in later experiments.

Deoxy, MOE, and cEt Gapmers


The newly designed chimeric antisense oligonucleotides in the Tables below were designed as deoxy, MOE, and cEt gapmers. The deoxy, MOE and cEt oligonucleotides have nucleosides that have either a MOE sugar modification, an (S)-cEt sugar modification, or a deoxy modification. The ‘Chemistry’ column describes the sugar modifications of each oligonucleotide. 1′ indicates an (S)-cEt sugar modification; ‘d’ indicates deoxyribose; and ‘e’ indicates a MOE modification. The internucleoside linkages throughout each gapmer are phosphorothioate (P═S) linkages. All cytosine residues throughout each gapmer are 5-methylcytosines. The sugar motifs of the gapmers are shown in the Chemistry columns of the tables below wherein 1′ means cEt sugar; ‘e’ means 2′-MOE sugar; ‘d’ means deoxy sugar, and the number after ‘d’ indicates the number of deoxy nucleosides.


“Start site” indicates the 5′-most nucleoside to which the gapmer is targeted in the human gene sequence. “Stop site” indicates the 3′-most nucleoside to which the gapmer is targeted human gene sequence. Each gapmer listed in the Tables below is targeted to either the human APOL1 mRNA, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 1 (GENBANK Accession No. NM_003661.3) or the human APOL1 genomic sequence, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 2 (GENBANK Accession No. NT_011520.9 truncated from nucleotides 15986452 to Ser. No. 16/001,905). ‘n/a’ indicates that the antisense oligonucleotide does not target that a particular gene sequence with 100% complementarity.


The antisense oligonucleotides were tested in a series of experiments that had similar culture conditions. The results for each experiment are presented in separate tables shown below. Cultured A431 cells at a density of 5,000 cells per well were transfected by free uptake with 2,000 nM antisense oligonucleotide. After a treatment period of approximately 24 hours, RNA was isolated from the cells and APOL1 mRNA levels were measured by quantitative real-time PCR. Human primer probe set RTS35962 was used to measure mRNA levels. APOL1 mRNA levels were adjusted according to total RNA content, as measured by RIBOGREEN®. Results are presented as percent inhibition of APOL1, relative to untreated control cells.

Example 2: Dose-Dependent Antisense Inhibition of Human APOL1 in A431 Cells

Gapmers from Example 1 exhibiting significant in vitro inhibition of APOL1 mRNA were selected and tested at various doses in A431 cells. The antisense oligonucleotides were tested in a series of experiments that had similar culture conditions. The results for each experiment are presented in separate tables shown below.


Cells were plated at a density of 10,000 cells per well and transfected free uptake with various concentrations of 3-10-3 cEt gapmers, as specified in the Tables below. After a treatment period of approximately 16 hours, RNA was isolated from the cells and APOL1 mRNA levels were measured by quantitative real-time PCR. Human primer probe set RTS35962 was used to measure mRNA levels. APOL1 mRNA levels were adjusted according to total RNA content, as measured by RIBOGREEN®. Results are presented as percent inhibition of APOL1, relative to untreated control cells.


The half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of each oligonucleotide is also presented. APOL1 mRNA levels were significantly reduced in a dose-dependent manner in antisense oligonucleotide treated cells.

Cells were also plated at a density of 10,000 cells per well and transfected free uptake with various concentrations of antisense oligonucleotide, as specified in the Tables below. After a treatment period of approximately 16 hours, RNA was isolated from the cells and APOL1 mRNA levels were measured by quantitative real-time PCR. Human primer probe set HTS7376 (forward sequence GGCAGCCTTGTACTCTTGGAA, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 1942; reverse sequence GCTGGTAATCCCGGTCAAAG, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 1943; probe sequence CTGGGATGGAGTTGGGAATCACAGCCX, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 1944) was used to measure mRNA levels. APOL1 mRNA levels were adjusted according to total RNA content, as measured by RIBOGREEN®. Results are presented as percent inhibition of APOL1, relative to untreated control cells.


The half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of each oligonucleotide is also presented. APOL1 mRNA levels were significantly reduced in a dose-dependent manner in antisense oligonucleotide treated cells.

In another assay, cells were plated at a density of 10,000 cells per well and transfected free uptake with various concentrations of antisense oligonucleotide, as specified in the Tables below. After a treatment period of approximately 16 hours, RNA was isolated from the cells and APOL1 mRNA levels were measured by quantitative real-time PCR. Human primer probe set RTS35962 was used to measure mRNA levels. APOL1 mRNA levels were adjusted according to total RNA content, as measured by RIBOGREEN®. Results are presented as percent inhibition of APOL1, relative to untreated control cells.


The half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of each oligonucleotide is also presented. APOL1 mRNA levels were significantly reduced in a dose-dependent manner in antisense oligonucleotide treated cells.

Example 3: Tolerability of Modified Oligonucleotides Targeting Human APOL1 in BALB/c Mice

BALB/c mice are a multipurpose mouse model frequently utilized for safety and efficacy testing. The mice were treated with antisense oligonucleotides selected from studies described above and evaluated for changes in the levels of various plasma chemistry markers.


Treatment


Groups of 6- to 7-week-old male mice were injected subcutaneously once with 200 mg/kg of modified oligonucleotides. One group of male BALB/c mice was injected with PBS. Mice were euthanized 72-96 hours after the single dose and plasma was harvested for further analysis.


Study 1


To evaluate the effect of modified oligonucleotides on liver function, plasma levels of transaminases were measured using an automated clinical chemistry analyzer (Beckman Coulter AU480, Brea, Calif.). Modified oligonucleotides that caused changes in the levels of transaminases outside the expected range for antisense oligonucleotides were excluded in further studies. Compound IDs 793406, 903807, 903822, 903853, 904016, 904063, 904082, 904084, 904101, 904212, 904223, 904224, 904226, 904424, 904426, 904443, 904444, 904619, 904627, 904628, 904763, 904766, 905031, 905032, 905036, 905095, 905121, 905123, 905139, 905141, 905143, 905146, 905147, 905269, 905373, 905408, 905418, 905469, 905471, 905491, 905496, 905505, 905510, 905511, 905521, 905581, 905582, 905633, 905634, 905636, 905654, 905655, 905665, 905684, 905688, 905690, 905697, 905700, 905758 and 905867 were considered tolerable in this study and were selected for further evaluation.


Study 2


In a second study to evaluate the effect of modified oligonucleotides on liver function, plasma levels of transaminases were measured using an automated clinical chemistry analyzer (Beckman Coulter AU480, Brea, Calif.). Modified oligonucleotides that caused changes in the levels of transaminases outside the expected range for antisense oligonucleotides were excluded in further studies. Compound IDs 969157, 969160, 969162, 969210, 969214, 969231, 969318, 969347, 969361, 969362, 969408, 969433, 969437, 969479, 969501, 969502, 971925, 971973, 971997, 972002, 972116, 972139, 972163, 972190, 972268, and 972288 were considered tolerable in this study and were selected for further evaluation.


Example 4: Effect of Antisense Inhibition of hAPOL1 in a Transgenic Mouse Model

A transgenic mouse model was developed using the Fosmid ABC12-49114000M18, digested to produce a 31.6 Kb fragment containing only the APOL1 gene with 5 Kb upstream and 12 Kb downstream of the gene. The gene fragment was inserted into eggs from C57BL/6NTAc mice by pronuclear injection to produce two founder lines. Line 1 was used for the experiments described herein. Human APOL1 transcript is predominantly detectable in the liver, with hAPOL1 protein robustly detectable in the plasma of these mice. The efficacy of modified oligonucleotides was evaluated in this model.


Transgenic mice were maintained on a 12-hour light/dark cycle and were fed ad libitum normal Purina mouse chow. Animals were acclimated for at least 7 days in the research facility before initiation of the experiment. Antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) were prepared in buffered saline (PBS) and sterilized by filtering through a 0.2 micron filter. Oligonucleotides were dissolved in PBS for injection.


Study 1


The hAPOL1 transgenic mice were divided into groups of 2-4 mice each. Groups received subcutaneous injections of modified oligonucleotide at a dose of 25 mg/kg three times a week for one week, 3 total doses. One group of mice received subcutaneous injections of control oligonucleotide 549148 (GGCTACTACGCCGTCA, designated SEQ ID NO: 1948; a 3-10-3 cEt gapmer with no known target) at a dose of 25 mg/kg three times a week for one week, 3 total doses. One group of mice received subcutaneous injections of PBS three times per week for one week. The saline-injected group served as the control group to which oligonucleotide-treated groups were compared.


On day 7, animals were sacrificed and RNA was extracted from kidney and liver for real-time PCR analysis of hAPOL1 mRNA expression. Results are presented as percent change of mRNA, relative to PBS control, normalized with RIBOGREEN®. Two separate experiments were conducted with similar conditions and are presented in separate tables. As shown in the tables below, treatment with antisense oligonucleotides resulted in significant reduction of hAPO1 mRNA in comparison to the PBS control.

Study 2


The hAPOL1 transgenic mice were divided into groups of 4 mice each. Groups received subcutaneous injections of modified oligonucleotide at a dose of 25 mg/kg twice a week for 1 weeks for 3 total doses. One group of mice received subcutaneous injections of control oligonucleotide 549148 at a dose of 25 mg/kg three times a week for one week, 3 total doses. One group of mice received subcutaneous injections of PBS three times a week for 1 week. The saline-injected group served as the control group to which oligonucleotide-treated groups were compared.


On day 7, animals were sacrificed and RNA was extracted from kidney and liver for real-time PCR analysis of measurement of hAPOL1 mRNA expression. Results are presented as percent change of mRNA, relative to PBS control, normalized with RIBOGREEN®.

Study 3: Effect of Antisense Inhibition of APOL1 on Mice with Proteinuria


hAPOL1 transgenic mice were divided into groups of 3-4 mice each. Groups received subcutaneous injections of modified oligonucleotide 972190 at a dose of 50 mg/kg once a week for 4 weeks. One group of mice received subcutaneous injections of control oligonucleotide 549148 at a dose of 50 mg/kg once a week for 4 weeks. One group of mice received subcutaneous injections of PBS once a week for 4 weeks. A single dose of IFNγ was administered at 1.125×10′ U/kg one day after the last oligonucleotide dose in order to induce proteinuria in the mice. The saline-injected group served as the control group to which oligonucleotide-treated groups were compared.


Urine was collected and the animals were sacrificed 48 hours after the IFNγ administration. RNA was extracted from kidney and liver for real-time PCR analysis of measurement of hAPOL1 mRNA expression. Results are presented as percent change of mRNA, relative to PBS control, normalized with RIBOGREEN®. As shown in the tables below, treatment with antisense oligonucleotides resulted in significant reduction of hAPO1 mRNA in comparison to the PBS control. As also shown in the tables below, treatment with 972190 resulted in significant reduction of urinary albumin and plasma ALT levels in comparison to control animals dosed with IFNγ. The results indicate that treatment with modified oligonucleotides targeting APOL1 protected APOL1 transgenic mice from proteinuria and reduced elevations in plasma ALT levels.

Example 5: Tolerability of Modified Oligonucleotides Targeted to hAPOL1 in CD1 Mice

CD1® mice (Charles River, Mass.) are a multipurpose mouse model, frequently utilized for safety and efficacy testing. The mice were treated with 3-10-3 cEt gapmer oligonucleotides selected from the studies described above and evaluated for changes in the levels of various plasma chemistry markers.


Treatment


Groups of 7-8-week-old male CD1 mice were injected subcutaneously twice a week for six weeks with 25 mg/kg of ISIS oligonucleotides (50 mg/kg/week dose). One group of male CD1 mice was injected subcutaneously twice a week for 6 weeks with PBS. Mice were euthanized 48 hours after the last dose, and organs and plasma were harvested for further analysis. Two separate studies were conducted with similar conditions and are presented in separate tables for each end-point analysis.


Study 1


Plasma Chemistry Markers


To evaluate the effect of ISIS oligonucleotides on liver and kidney function, plasma levels of transaminases, albumin, bilirubin, creatinine, and BUN were measured using an automated clinical chemistry analyzer (Beckman Coulter AU480, Brea, Calif.). The results are presented in the Table below. ISIS oligonucleotides that caused changes in the levels of any of the liver or kidney function markers outside the expected range for antisense oligonucleotides were excluded in further studies.

Example 6: Tolerability of Modified Oligonucleotides Targeted to hAPOL1 in Sprague-Dawley Rats

Sprague-Dawley rats are a multipurpose model used for safety and efficacy evaluations. The rats were treated with 3-10-3 cEt gapmer oligonucleotides from the studies described in the Examples above and evaluated for changes in the levels of various plasma chemistry markers.


Treatment


Male Sprague-Dawley rats were maintained on a 12-hour light/dark cycle and fed ad libitum with Purina normal rat chow, diet 5001. Groups of 4 Sprague-Dawley rats each were injected subcutaneously once a week for 6 weeks with 50 mg/kg of ISIS oligonucleotide. Forty-eight hours after the last dose, rats were euthanized and organs and plasma were harvested for further analysis. Two separate studies were conducted with similar conditions.


Study 1


Liver Function


To evaluate the effect of ISIS oligonucleotides on hepatic function, plasma levels of transaminases were measured using an automated clinical chemistry analyzer (Hitachi Olympus AU400e, Melville, N.Y.). Plasma levels of ALT (alanine transaminase) and AST (aspartate transaminase) were measured and the results are presented in the Table below expressed in IU/L. ISIS oligonucleotides that caused changes in the levels of any markers of liver function outside the expected range for antisense oligonucleotides were excluded in further studies.

Example 7: Dose-Dependent Inhibition of hAPOL1 in Transgenic Mouse Model

Transgenic mice hAPOL1 mice, described above, were maintained on a 12-hour light/dark cycle and were fed ad libitum normal Purina mouse chow. Animals were acclimated for at least 7 days in the research facility before initiation of the experiment. Antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) were prepared in buffered saline (PBS) and sterilized by filtering through a 0.2 micron filter. Oligonucleotides were dissolved in 0.9% PBS for injection.


Study 1


The hAPOL1 transgenic mice were divided into groups of 4 mice each. Groups received subcutaneous injections of 3-10-3 cEt gapmers at a dose of 5, 15, or 50 mg/kg once a week for four weeks, 4 total doses, as indicated in the tables below. One group of mice received subcutaneous injections of PBS once a week for 4 weeks. The saline-injected group served as the control group to which oligonucleotide-treated groups were compared.


RNA Analysis


Mice were sacrificed 48 hours after the last dose and RNA was extracted from kidney and liver for real-time PCR analysis of measurement of mRNA expression of hAPOL1. Results are presented as percent change of mRNA, relative to PBS control, normalized with RIBOGREEN®. Two separate experiments were conducted with similar conditions and are presented in separate tables. As shown in the tables below, treatment with antisense oligonucleotides resulted in significant reduction of hAPO1 mRNA in comparison to the PBS control.

Example 8: Confirmation of Dose-Dependent Antisense Inhibition of Human Lead Compounds Targeting APOL1 in A431 Cells

Gapmers selected from the studies described above were tested at various doses in A431 cells.


Study 1


Cells were plated at a density of 10,000 cells per well and transfected free uptake with various concentrations of antisense oligonucleotides, as specified in the Table below. After a treatment period of approximately 16 hours, RNA was isolated from the cells and APOL1 mRNA levels were measured by quantitative real-time PCR. Human primer probe set RTS35962 was used to measure mRNA levels. APOL1 mRNA levels were adjusted according to total RNA content, as measured by RIBOGREEN®. Results are presented as percent inhibition of APOL1, relative to untreated control cells.


The half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of each oligonucleotide is also presented. APOL1 mRNA levels were significantly reduced in a dose-dependent manner in antisense oligonucleotide treated cells.

Example 9: Effect of ISIS Antisense Oligonucleotides Targeting Human APOL1 in Cynomolgus Monkeys

Cynomolgus monkeys were treated with ISIS antisense oligonucleotides selected from studies described in the Examples above. Antisense oligonucleotide efficacy and tolerability, as well as their pharmacokinetic profile in the liver and kidney, were evaluated. Cynomolgus monkeys are reported to have an APOL1 pseudogene.


The human antisense oligonucleotides tested are cross-reactive with the cynomolgus genomic sequence (the complement of GENBANK Accession No. NC_022281.1 truncated from nucleotides 15021761 to Ser. No. 15/036,414, designated herein as SEQ ID NO: 1949). The greater the complementarity between the human oligonucleotide and the cynomolgus monkey sequence, the more likely the human oligonucleotide can cross-react with the cynomolgus monkey sequence. The start and stop sites of each oligonucleotide to SEQ ID NO: 1949 is presented in the Table below. “Start site” indicates the 5′-most nucleoside to which the gapmer is targeted in the cynomolgus monkey gene sequence. ‘Mismatches’ indicates the number of nucleobases of the human oligonucleotide that are mismatched with the cynomolgus gene sequence along its length.

Treatment


Prior to the study, the monkeys were kept in quarantine during which the animals were observed daily for general health. The monkeys were 2-4 years old and weighed 2-4 kg each. Eight groups of 4 randomly assigned male cynomolgus monkeys each were administered 30 mg/kg of modified oligonucleotide or PBS. once a week for 12 weeks. One group of monkeys received a dose of saline once a week for 12 weeks. The saline-injected group served as the control group to which oligonucleotide-treated groups were compared. Approximately 48 hours after the last dose, monkeys were sacrificed and tissues were collected for analysis.


Assessment of tolerability was based on clinical observations, body weights, food consumption, and clinical pathology. Complete necropsies were performed with a recording of any macroscopic abnormality. Terminal necropsy was performed on Day 85. Organ weights were taken. In addition, blood, CSF, and tissues (at necropsy) were collected for toxicokinetic evaluations. The protocols described in the Example were approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC).


Target Reduction


RNA Analysis


RNA was extracted from liver for real-time PCR analysis of mRNA expression of cynoAPOL1. RTS35787 (Forward sequence: CTCCTGCTGAGTGACCATAAAG (SEQ ID NO: 1945); Reverse sequence: GGACTTCTTCGAGCCAGTTT (SEQ ID NO: 1946); Probe sequence: AGAGTGGTGGCTACTGCTGAACTG (SEQ ID NO: 1947)) was used to detect cynomolgus APOL1. Results are presented as percent change of mRNA, relative to saline control, normalized with monkey Cyclophylin A. As shown in the table below, treatment with modified oligonucleotides resulted in reduction of the cynomolgus APOL1 mRNA in comparison to the PBS control for some oligonucleotides.

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, 48 hrs post-dosing. The monkeys were fasted overnight prior to blood collection. Blood was collected in tubes containing K2-EDTA anticoagulant, which were centrifuged to obtain plasma. 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 the Table below, expressed in IU/L. Bilirubin, a liver function marker, was similarly measured and is presented in the Table below, expressed in mg/dL. The results indicate that antisense oligonucleotides had no effect on liver function outside the expected range for antisense oligonucleotides. Specifically, treatment with ISIS 972190 was well tolerated in terms of the liver function in monkeys.

Hematology


To evaluate any effect of ISIS oligonucleotides in cynomolgus monkeys on hematologic parameters, blood samples of approximately 1.3 mL of blood was collected from each of the available study animals in tubes containing K2-EDTA. Samples were analyzed for red blood cell (RBC) count, white blood cells (WBC) count, individual white blood cell counts, such as that of monocytes, neutrophils, lymphocytes, as well as for platelet count, hemoglobin content and hematocrit, using an ADVIA120 hematology analyzer (Bayer, USA). The data is presented in the Tables below.


The data indicate the oligonucleotides did not cause any changes in hematologic parameters outside the expected range for antisense oligonucleotides at this dose. Specifically, treatment with ISIS 972190 was well tolerated in terms of the hematologic parameters of the monkeys.

C-Reactive Protein and C3 Activation


To evaluate any inflammatory effect of ISIS oligonucleotides in cynomolgus monkeys, blood samples were taken for analysis. The monkeys were fasted overnight prior to blood collection. Approximately 1.5 mL of blood was collected from each animal and put into tubes without anticoagulant for serum separation. The tubes were kept at room temperature for a minimum of 90 min and then centrifuged at 3,000 rpm for 10 min at room temperature to obtain serum. C3 levels were measured to evaluate any complement activation due to oligonucleotide treatment. C-reactive protein (CRP), which is synthesized in the liver and which serves as a marker of inflammation, was measured using a Toshiba 200FR NEO chemistry analyzer (Toshiba Co., Japan). The results indicate that treatment with ISIS 972190 did not cause any inflammation in monkeys.
