Abstract: The disclosure relates to the field of cardiovascular diseases, such as atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (ASCVD) caused by (high) levels of LDL-C and/or triglycerides in the plasma. The disclosure involves oligonucleotides and the use thereof in RNA editing methods in targeting a target adenosine in an endogenous (preferably wildtype) human ANGPTL3 transcript in a cell, preferably a liver cell, more preferably a hepatocyte, to yield an ANGPTL3 protein that has a diminished or lowered ability to inhibit lipolysis, because of the RNA editing.

Abstract: The present invention relates to antisense oligonucleotides (AONs) that can mediate RNA editing by binding to a target RNA nucleic acid molecule, preferably an RNA transcript molecule, in a cell and recruiting an endogenous deaminating enzyme in the cell to deaminate one or more target adenosine nucleotides in the target RNA molecule to an inosine. The target RNA molecule is a transcript molecule form the SLC10A1 gene that encodes the Na/Taurocholate Co-transporting Polypeptide (NTCP). The RNA editing of the one or more target adenosines will result in a loss-of-function of the NTCP protein, which will result in lowered uptake of bile acids from the portal circulation into the liver, thereby lowering the risk of suffering from disorders related to bile accumulation in the liver.

Abstract: The invention relates to the field of diseases caused by high levels of LDL-C and/or fibrinogen, such as cardiovascular disease. The invention involves oligonucleotides for RNA editing technology in deaminating target adenosine nucleotides, such as the adenosine at position 1055, in transcripts of the human B4GALT1 gene.

Abstract: RNA editing is achieved using oligonucleotide constructs comprising (i) a targeting portion specific for a target nucleic acid sequence to be edited and (ii) a recruiting portion capable of binding and recruiting a nucleic acid editing entity naturally present in the cell. The nucleic acid editing entity, such as ADAR, is redirected to a preselected target site by means of the targeting portion, thereby promoting editing of preselected nucleotide residues in a region of the target RNA which corresponds to the targeting portion.

Abstract: The invention relates to antisense oligonucleotides that are capable of bringing about specific editing of a target nucleotide (adenosine) in a target RNA in a eukaryotic cell, wherein said oligonucleotide does not, in itself, form an intramolecular hair-pin or stem-loop structure, and wherein said oligonucleotide comprises a cytidine (a non-complementary nucleotide) or a uridine in a position opposite to the target adenosine to be edited in the target RNA region.
