Abstract: Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors have been shown to reduce aqueous humor production and thereby reduce intraocular pressure in the eye. Accordingly, there is a need for agents that can selectively and efficiently inhibit expression of the CA2 gene such that subjects having a CA2-associated disorder, such as glaucoma, can be effectively treated. The disclosure relates to double-stranded ribonucleic acid (dsRNA) compositions targeting carbonic anhydrase 2 (CA2), and methods of using such dsRNA compositions to alter (e.g., inhibit) expression of carbonic anhydrase 2.

Abstract: The disclosure provides systems, compositions, kits, and methods useful for the targeted site-specific modifications of RNA molecules. Generally, the systems, compositions, kits, and methods described herein comprise a polypeptide or a nucleic acid encoding the polypeptide. The polypeptide comprises a first domain comprising a catalytic domain of an RNA modifying enzyme and a second domain comprising a MID domain of an Argonaute (Ago) protein. The systems, compositions, kits, and methods can also comprise an oligonucleotide for targeting the polypeptide to a target RNA. A method for modifying a target RNA, comprises contacting the target RNA with a polypeptide or a nucleic acid encoding the polypeptide and with an oligonucleotide described herein. Some exemplary modifications of the target RNA include, but are not limited to, site-specific deamination of an adenosine, deamination of a cytidine, methylation (e.g., methylation at position 6) of an adenosine, and demethylation of m6-adenosine in the target RNA.
