    摘要: The present invention establishes a method for treating cardiac dysfunction. An oligonucleotide of 15-30 bp comprising a nucleotide sequence complementary to a part of the intron 55 region of a dystrophin gene, which comprises the sequence of 5′-TGTCTTCCT-3′ or 5′-CAGCTTGAACCGGGC-3′ (SEQ ID NO: 64) (wherein “T” may be “U” in either sequence), a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof, or a solvate thereof. A prophylactic and/or a therapeutic for cardiac dysfunction, comprising the above-described oligonucleotide, a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof, or a solvate thereof. A suppressor of Dp116 expression, comprising the above-described oligonucleotide, a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof, or a solvate thereof.

    摘要: The present invention aims at establishing a novel therapy for facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy.
    An oligonucleotide or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein the oligonucleotide comprises an oligonucleotide of 15-30 bases consisting of a nucleotide sequence complementary to the region of nucleotide Nos. 502-556 or 578-612 of DUX4-fl mRNA consisting of the nucleotide sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO: 1; the 5′ and/or 3′ end of the oligonucleotide may be chemically modified; and the oligonucleotide is capable of switching the splice form of the DUX4 gene from DUX4-fl to DUX4-s. A pharmaceutical drug comprising the above oligonucleotide or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof (e.g. therapeutic for facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy).

    摘要: An oligonucleotide that induces a site-specific editing for a target RNA, the oligonucleotide including a first oligonucleotide that specifies the target RNA, a second oligonucleotide that is linked to the 3′-side of the first oligonucleotide, a third oligonucleotide that is capable of forming a complementary pair together with the second oligonucleotide, and a first linking portion that links the second oligonucleotide and the third oligonucleotide. The first oligonucleotide is composed of a target-corresponding nucleotide residue that corresponds to an adenosine residue in the target RNA; an oligonucleotide of 10 to 30 residues linked to the 5′-side of the target-corresponding nucleotide residue and having a base sequence complementary to the target RNA; and an oligonucleotide of 3-6 residues linked to the 3′-side of the target-corresponding nucleotide residue and having a base sequence complementary to the target RNA. The second oligonucleotide consists of 5 to 8 residues and the third oligonucleotide consists of 5 to 8 residues. At least one residue selected from a counter region composed of the target-corresponding nucleotide residue and two respective residues on the 3′- and 5′-sides thereof is a nucleotide residue other than a natural ribonucleotide residue.
