  • Publication number: 20220298516
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and compositions for modulating protein expression. In particular, the invention features methods and compositions for increasing protein expression in a cell by delivering to the cell a composition including an mRNA encoding a polypeptide and one or more oligonucleotides, wherein each of the one or more oligonucleotides includes a region of linked nucleotides complimentary to a portion of the sequence of the mRNA. The methods and compositions described herein may be used to modulate gene expression (e.g., increase gene expression), to increase the stability of the mRNA, to decrease the immunogenicity of the mRNA, to enable selective expression (e.g., in a target cell or tissue) of the mRNA, and/or to enable the delivery of two or more mRNAs in a stoichiometric ratio.
