Engineered nucleic acids and methods of use thereof
View Patent ↗Provided are compositions and methods for delivering biological moieties such as modified nucleic acids into cells to modulate protein expression. Such compositions and methods include the use of modified messenger RNAs, and are useful to treat or prevent diseases, disorders or conditions, or to improve a subject's heath or wellbeing.
1. A pharmaceutical formulation comprising:
i) an effective amount of a mRNA sequence encoding a granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) polypeptide wherein the mRNA sequence is at least 95% identical to the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 17; and
ii) a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, wherein the formulation is suitable for repeated intravenous administration to a mammalian subject in need thereof.
2. The pharmaceutical formulation of claim 1 , further comprising a lipid-based transfection reagent.
3. A kit comprising the pharmaceutical formulation of claim 1 and AMD3100 (1,1′-[1,4-phenylene-bis(methylene)]-bis-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane), in one or more containers, and instructions for use thereof.
4. A pharmaceutical formulation consisting essentially of:
i) an effective amount of a mRNA sequence encoding a granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) polypeptide wherein the mRNA sequence is at least 95% identical to the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 17;
ii) a cell penetration agent; and
iii) a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, wherein the formulation is suitable for repeated intravenous administration to a mammalian subject in need thereof.
