  • Publication number: 20240002844
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to compositions and methods for reding inflammation and/or inhibiting bone loss (e.g., bone loss induced by inflammation). In some embodiments, the disclosure provides isolated nucleic acids and expression constructs (e.g., rAAVs, etc.) that encode one or more of the following transgenes: inhibitory nucleic acids targeting Schnurri 3 (SHN3), inhibitory nucleic acids targeting Cathepsin K (CTSK), inhibitory nucleic acids targeting sclerostin (SOST), inhibitory nucleic acids targeting receptor activator of NF-?? (RANK), inhibitory nucleic acids targeting receptor activator of NF-?? ligand (RANKL), soluble TNF-? Receptor 2 (sTNFR2), and soluble IL-1 Receptor Antagonist (sIL1R?). In some embodiments, compositions described by the disclosure are useful for treating diseases associated with inflammation, for example rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

  • Publication number: 20230295662
    Abstract: In some aspects, the disclosure relates to compositions and methods for treating fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) in a subject. In some aspects, the disclosure provides isolated nucleic acids, and vectors such as rAAV vectors, configured to express transgenes that inhibit (e.g., decrease) expression of mutated AVCR1 gene in muscle cells or connective tissues.

  • Publication number: 20210023241
    Abstract: In some aspects, the disclosure relates to compositions and methods for modulating (e.g., increasing and/or decreasing) bone mass in a subject. In some aspects, the disclosure provides isolated nucleic acids, and vectors such as rAAV vectors, configured to express transgenes that promote (e.g., increase) or inhibit (e.g., decrease) activity, differentiation, or function of certain types of bone cells, for example osteoblasts, osteoclasts, osteocytes, etc. In some embodiments, the isolated nucleic acids and vectors described by the disclosure are useful for treating disorders and conditions associated with increased bone mass (e.g., osteopetrosis) or decreased bone mass (e.g., osteoporosis).
