Project description:Primary mouse hepatocytes were treated with 1 nM TTR-siRNA and 10 nM scrambled or TTR-REVERSIR by in vitro free uptake for 24 h. RNA extracted with the Purelink RNA kit (ThermoFisher) was used for cDNA library preparation with the TruSeq Stranded Total RNA Library Prep Kit (Illumina) and sequenced on the NextSeq500 desktop sequencer (Illumina), all according to manufacturers’ instructions. Raw RNA-seq reads were filtered with minimal mean quality scores of 25 and minimal remaining length of 36, using fastq-mcf. Filtered reads were aligned to the Mus musculus genome (NCBIM37) using STAR with default parameters. Uniquely aligned reads were counted by featureCounts. Differential gene expression (DEG) analysis was performed by the R package DESeq2. Here, we report the rapid and potent reversal of GalNAc-siRNA-mediated RNAi activity in vivo with REVERSIR technology, which is based on short, synthetic high-affinity oligonucleotide complementary to the siRNA guide strand. The modular, sequence-specific nature of the REVERSIR platform has the potential to enhance the therapeutic profile of any long-acting GalNAc-siRNA conjugate to enable fine-tuned control of RNAi pharmacology

Project description:GalNAc-transferase (GalNAc-T) isoforms modify distinct subsets of the O-glycoproteome and GalNAc-type O-glycosylation is found on most proteins trafficking through the secretory pathway in metazoan cells. The O-glycoproteome is regulated by up to 20 polypeptide GalNAc-Ts and the contributions and biological functions of individual GalNAc-Ts are poorly understood. Here, we used a zinc-finger nuclease (ZFN)-directed knockout strategy to probe the contributions of the major GalNAc-Ts (GalNAc-T1 and T2) in liver cells, and explore how the GalNAc-T repertoire quantitatively affects the O-glycoproteome. We demonstrate that the majority of the O-glycoproteome is covered by redundancy, whereas distinct subsets of substrates are modified by non-redundant functions of GalNAc-T1 and T2. Differential transcriptomic analysis indicates that loss of function of a GalNAc-T induces specific transcriptional response. The non-redundant O-glycoproteome subsets for and the transcriptional responses for each isoform appeared to be related to different cellular processes, and for the GalNAc-T2 isoform supporting a role in lipid metabolism. The results demonstrate that GalNAc-Ts have non-redundant glycosylation functions, and that these may affect distinct cellular processes. The data provides a comprehensive resource for unique substrates for individual GalNAc-Ts. Our study provides a new view on the regulation of the O-glycoproteome, suggesting that the plurality of GalNAc-Ts arose to regulate distinct protein functions and cellular processes.

Project description:Advancement of RNAi-based therapeutics depends on effective delivery to the site of protein synthesis. Although intravenously administered, multi-component delivery vehicles have enabled small interfering RNA (siRNA) delivery and progression into clinical development, advances of single-component, systemic siRNA delivery have been challenging. In pre-clinical models, attachment of a triantennary N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) ligand to an siRNA mediates hepatocyte uptake via the asialoglycoprotein receptor enabling RNAi-mediated gene silencing. In this phase 1 study, we assessed translation of this delivery approach by evaluating the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of a GalNAc-siRNA conjugate, revusiran, targeting transthyretin (TTR). Subjects received a placebo or ascending doses of revusiran subcutaneously ranging from 1.25-10 mg/kg in the single and 2.5-10 mg/kg in the multiple ascending dose phases. Revusiran was generally well tolerated, with transient, mild to moderate injection site reactions the most common treatment-emergent adverse events. Doses of 2.5-10 mg/kg revusiran elicited a significant reduction of serum TTR versus the placebo (p < 0.01), with mean TTR reductions of approximately 90% observed with multiple dosing. These results demonstrate translation of this novel delivery platform, enabling clinical development of subcutaneously administered GalNAc-siRNAs for liver-based diseases.

Project description:For the first time, a novel dithiomaleimides (DTM) based tetra-antennary GalNAc conjugate was developed, which enable both efficient siRNA delivery and good traceability, without incorporating extra fluorophores. This conjugate can be readily constructed by three click-type reactions, that is, amidations, thiol-dibromomaleimide addition and copper catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC). And it also has comparable siRNA delivery efficiency, with a GalNAc L96 standard to mTTR target. Additionally, due to the internal DTMs, a highly fluorescent emission was observed, which benefited delivery tracking and reduced the cost and side effects of the extra addition of hydrophobic dye molecules. In all, the simple incorporation of DTMs to the GalNAc conjugate structure has potential in gene therapy and tracking applications.

Project description:The hepatocyte-specific asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGPR) is an ideal candidate for targeted drug delivery to the liver due to its high capacity for substrate clearance from circulation together with its well-conserved expression and function across species. The development of GalNAc-siRNA conjugates, in which a synthetic triantennary N-acetylgalactosamine-based ligand is conjugated to chemically modified siRNA, has enabled efficient, ASGPR-mediated delivery to hepatocytes. To investigate the potential impact of variations in receptor expression on the efficiency of GalNAc-siRNA conjugate delivery, we evaluated the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of GalNAc-siRNA conjugates in multiple pre-clinical models with reduced receptor expression. Despite greater than 50% reduction in ASGPR levels, GalNAc conjugate activity was retained, suggesting that the remaining receptor capacity was sufficient to mediate efficient uptake of potent GalNAc-siRNAs at pharmacologically relevant dose levels. Collectively, our data support a broad application of the GalNAc-siRNA technology for hepatic targeting, including disease states where ASGPR expression may be reduced.

Project description:Preclinical mechanistic studies have pointed towards RNAi-mediated off-target effects as a major driver of hepatotoxicity for GalNAc-siRNA conjugates. Here we demonstrate that a single glycol nucleic acid (GNA) modification can substantially reduce siRNA seed-mediated binding to off-target transcripts while maintaining on-target activity. In siRNAs with established off-target effects leading to hepatotoxicity, these Enhanced Stabilization Chemistry plus (ESC+) designs exhibit a substantially improved therapeutic window in rat. We utilized this strategy to improve the safety of ALN-HBV, which exhibited dose-dependent, transient, and asymptomatic alanine aminotransferase elevations in healthy volunteers.

Project description:Biological functions of nuclear proteins are regulated by post-translational modifications (PTMs) that modulate gene expression and cellular physiology. However, the role of O-linked glycosylation (O-GalNAc) as a PTM of nuclear proteins in the human cell has not been previously reported. Here, we examined the initiation of O-GalNAc glycan biosynthesis, representing a novel PTM of nuclear proteins in the nucleus of human cells, with an emphasis on HeLa cells. Using affinity chromatography and MS analyses, we identified O-GalNAc glycosylated proteins in the nucleus and present solid evidence for O-GalNAc glycan synthesis in this organelle. The demonstration of O-GalNAc glycosylation of nuclear proteins in mammalian cells reported here has important implications for cell and chemical biology.

Project description:To metastasize, a tumor cell must acquire abilities such as the capacity to colonize new tissue and evade immune surveillance. Recent evidence suggests that microRNAs can promote the evolution of malignant behaviors by regulating multiple targets simultaneously. We performed a microRNA analysis of human melanoma, an aggressively invasive cancer, and found that miR-30b/30d upregulation correlates with stage, metastatic potential of primary tumors, shorter time to recurrence and reduced overall survival. Ectopic expression of miR-30b/30d promoted the metastatic behavior of melanoma cells by directly targeting the GalNAc transferase GALNT7, resulted in increased synthesis of the immunosuppressive cytokine IL-10, and reduced immune cell activation and recruitment. These data point to a key role of miR-30b/30d and GalNAc transferases in metastasis, by simultaneously promoting cellular invasion and immune suppression. MicroRNAs are emerging as key contributors to tumor metastasis because of their ability to regulate multiple targets, and thereby alter several functions, simultaneously. We found a miRNA cluster that promotes metastasis by concurrently enhancing invasive capabilities of melanoma cells and suppressing immune surveillance mechanisms, allowing the tumor cells to migrate and invade foreign tissue. Both these effects of miR-30b/30d are mediated by direct suppression of GalNAc transferases. Aberrant glycosylation has previously been connected to tumor progression, but the underlying molecular mechanisms and their impact on specific cellular pathways are poorly understood. Our work places the control of glycosylation as a novel molecular link between tumor cell migration and immune evasion, two processes that act synergistically during metastasis. 2 different melanoma cell line, 2 biological duplicates for each cell line Differentially expressed genes (mRNAs) in response to miRNA over-expression

Project description:Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) conjugated to a trivalent N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) ligand are being evaluated in investigational clinical studies for a variety of indications. The typical development candidate selection process includes evaluation of the most active compounds for toxicity in rats at pharmacologically-exaggerated doses. The subset of GalNAc-siRNAs that show rat hepatotoxicity is not advanced to clinical development. Potential mechanisms of hepatotoxicity include toxicities associated with the intracellular accumulation of oligonucleotides and their metabolites, RNA interference (RNAi)-mediated hybridization-based off-target effects, and/or perturbation of endogenous RNAi pathways. Here we show that rodent hepatotoxicity observed at supratherapeutic exposures can be largely attributed to RNAi-mediated off-target effects, but not chemical modifications or the perturbation of RNAi pathways. Furthermore, these off-target effects can be mitigated by modulating seed-pairing using a thermally destabilizing chemical modification, which significantly improves the safety profile of a GalNAc-siRNA in rat and may minimize the occurrence of hepatotoxic siRNAs across species.
