Antisense oligonucleotides targeting nuclear RNA for in vivo correction of myotonic dystrophy

ABSTRACT: This study examined the effects of antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) on the muscle transcriptome in a transgenic mouse model of myotonic dystrophy. Two ASOs were tested in HSALR transgenic mice. Both of the ASOs targeted mRNA from a human skeletal actin (hACTA1) transgene. This transgene contains an expanded CTG repeat in the 3’ untranslated region (UTR) (Mankodi et al “Myotonic dystrophy in transgenic mice expressing an expanded CUG repeat” Science 2000; 289:1769-72). ASO 445235 targeted the hACTA1 transcript in the 3’ UTR, downstream from the expanded repeat. ASO 190401 targeted the hACTA1 transcript in the coding region. The HSALR mice received 4 weeks of biweekly subcutaneous injections of vehicle (saline), ASO 190401, or ASO 445236 (n = 4 per group), at a dose of 25 mg/kg per injection. Wild-type mice of the same strain background received saline injections (n = 4). One week after the final injection, quadriceps muscle was harvested for RNA analysis.

Two ASOs were tested in HSALR transgenic mice. Both of the ASOs targeted mRNA from a human skeletal actin (hACTA1) transgene. This transgene contains an expanded CTG repeat in the 3M-bM-^@M-^Y untranslated region (UTR) (Mankodi et al M-bM-^@M-^\Myotonic dystrophy in transgenic mice expressing an expanded CUG repeatM-bM-^@M-^] Science 2000; 289:1769-72). ASO 445235 targeted the hACTA1 transcript in the 3M-bM-^@M-^Y UTR, downstream from the expanded repeat. ASO 190401 targeted the hACTA1 transcript in the coding region.

Wild-type mice of the same strain background received saline injections (n = 4). One week after the final injection, quadriceps muscle was harvested for RNA analysis. Four conditions, four arrays per condition, to compare WT and HSALR trangenic mice without treatment (saline) and to examine the effect of two oligos (vs. saline) in the HSALR transgenic mice.

Precise small molecule cleavage of a r(CUG) repeat expansion in a myotonic dystrophy mouse model

Project description:Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is an incurable neuromuscular disorder caused by an expanded CTG repeat that is transcribed into r(CUG)exp. The RNA repeat expansion sequesters regulatory proteins such as Muscleblind-like protein 1 (MBNL1), which causes pre-mRNA splicing defects. The disease-causing r(CUG)exp has been targeted by antisense oligonucleotides, CRISPR-based approaches, and RNA-targeting small molecules. Herein, we describe a designer small molecule, Cugamycin, that targets the structure of r(CUG)exp and cleaves it in cells and in vivo. Cugamycin selectively cleaves r(CUG)exp while leaving short repeats of r(CUG) untouched. In contrast, oligonucleotides that recognize r(CUG) sequence rather than structure cleave both long and short r(CUG)-containing transcripts. In the HSALR mouse model of DM1, Cugamycin selectively ablates r(CUG)exp in disease-affected muscle. Transcriptomic, histological, and phenotypic studies demonstrate that Cugamycin broadly and specifically relieves DM1-associated defects without detectable off-targets. Thus, small molecules that bind and cleave RNA may have utility as lead chemical probes and medicines.

Gene Expression in Myotonic Dystrophy

Project description:In order to examine the changes in gene expression between normal and myotonic dystrophic animals, gene expression array studies were done with extensor digitorum longus (EDL) of transgenic HSALR line 20b mice using Affymetrix MOE430 2.0 microarrays. We used EDL muscle from transgenic HSALR line 20b mice, maintained as homozygotes in an FVB inbred background and wild-type FVB mice purchased from Taconic. Affymetrix gene expression arrays were performed on HSALR and wild type EDL muscle

RNA-seq from WT and HSALR (a Myotonic Dystrophy type 1 model) mice

Project description:In the context of developing an integrative proteogenomics strategy for assessing both differential gene expression and alternative splicing, we generated RNA-seq data (paired-end, 76 bp, 71 million reads per sample on average) from gastrocnemius muscles (right and left hind limb) from five wild-type mice and five HSALR mice (male, 10-12 weeks old) modelling the human disease Myotonic Dystrophy type 1 (DM1).

Alternative splicing and gene expression in a mouse model of myotonic dystrophy

Project description:Distinct RNA-mediated impacts on alternative splicing and extracellular matrix gene expression in a mouse model of myotonic dystrophy. Myotonic dystrophy (DM1) is associated with expression of expanded CTG DNA repeats as RNA (CUGexp RNA). To test whether CUGexp RNA creates a global splicing defect, we compared skeletal muscle of two mouse DM1 models, one expressing a CTGexp transgene, and another homozygous for a defective Mbnl1 gene. Strong correlation in splicing changes for ~100 new Mbnl1-regulated exons indicates loss of Mbnl1 explains >80% of the splicing pathology due to CUGexp RNA. In contrast, only about half of mRNA level changes can be attributed to loss of Mbnl1, indicating CUGexp RNA has Mbnl1-independent effects, particularly on mRNAs for extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins. We propose that CUGexp RNA causes two separate effects: loss of Mbnl1 function, disrupting splicing, and loss of another function that disrupts ECM mRNA regulation, possibly mediated by MBNL2. These findings reveal unanticipated similarities between DM1 and other muscular dystrophies. MBNL1 knockout and HSALR mice on FVB background. To test whether CUGexp RNA creates a global splicing defect, we compared skeletal muscle of two mouse DM1 models, one expressing a CTGexp transgene, and another homozygous for a defective Mbnl1 gene. These samples were compared to the skeletal muscle of a wildtype mouse.

Impeding transcription of expanded microsatellite repeats by deactivated Cas9

Project description:Transcription of expanded microsatellite repeats is associated with multiple human diseases, including myotonic dystrophy, Fuchs’ endothelial corneal dystrophy, and C9orf72-ALS/FTD. Eliminating or reducing production of RNA and proteins arising from these expanded loci holds therapeutic benefit. Here, we tested the hypothesis that a deactivated form of the Cas9 enzyme impedes transcription across expanded microsatellites. We observed a repeat length-, PAM-, and strand-dependent reduction in the abundance of repeat-containing RNAs upon targeting dCas9 directly to repeat sequences. Aberrant splicing patterns were rescued in DM1 cells, and production of RAN peptides characteristic of DM1, DM2, and C9orf72-ALS/FTD cells was drastically decreased. Systemic delivery of dCas9/gRNA by adeno-associated virus led to reductions in pathological RNA foci, rescue of chloride channel 1 protein expression, and decreased myotonia. These observations suggest that transcription of microsatellite repeat-containing RNAs is more sensitive to perturbation than transcription of other RNAs, indicating potentially viable strategies for therapeutic intervention.

Increased Muscleblind levels by chloroquine treatment improves myotonic dystrophy type 1 phenotypes in in vitro and in vivo models

Project description:Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is a life-threatening and chronically debilitating neuromuscular disease caused by the expansion of a CTG trinucleotide repeat in the 3'UTR of the DMPK gene. The mutant RNA forms insoluble structures capable of sequestering RNA binding proteins of the Muscleblind-like (MBNL) family, which ultimately originates phenotypes. In this work we demonstrate that treatment with the anti-autophagic drug chloroquine in Drosophila and mouse (HSALR) models, and patient-derived myoblasts, was sufficient to upregulate MBNL1 and 2 proteins. Extra Muscleblind was functional at the molecular level and improved splicing events regulated by MBNLs in all disease models. In vivo, chloroquine rescued locomotion and average crossectional muscle area, and extended median survival of DM1 flies. In HSALR mice the drug recovered muscular strength and histopathology signs, and reduced myotonia grade. Taken together these results offer a novel means to replenish the critically low levels of MBNLs in DM1.

GOLGA8 increases bulk antisense oligonucleotide uptake and activity in mammalian cells

Project description:Antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) are short synthetic nucleic acids that recognize and bind to complementary RNA to modulate gene expression. It is well-established that single-stranded, phosphorothioate modified ASOs enter cells independent of carrier molecules, primarily via endocytic pathways, but that only a small portion of internalized ASO is released into the cytosol and/or nucleus rendering the majority of ASO as inaccessible to the targeted RNA. Identifying pathways that can increase the available ASO pool is valuable as a research tool and therapeutically. Here, we conducted a functional genomic screen for ASO activity by engineering GFP splice reporter cells and applying genome wide CRISPR gene activation. The screen can identify factors that enhance ASO splice modulation activity. Characterization of hit genes uncovered GOLGA8, a largely uncharacterized protein, as a novel positive regulator enhancing ASO activity by ~2-fold. Bulk ASO uptake is 5-fold higher in GOLGA8 overexpressing cells where GOLGA8 and ASOs are observed in the same intracellular compartments. We find GOLGA8 is highly localized to the trans-Golgi and readily detectable at the plasma membrane. Interestingly, overexpression of GOLGA8 increased activity for both splice modulation and RNase H1-dependent ASOs. Taken together, these results support a novel role for GOLGA8 in productive ASO uptake.
