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).
本发明的目的是建立一种治疗面肱骨肌营养不良症的新型疗法。
一种寡核苷酸或其药学上可接受的盐,其中寡核苷酸包括由与 DUX4-fl mRNA 的核苷酸 Nos.寡核苷酸的 5'端和/或 3'端可进行
化学修饰;并且寡核苷酸能够将 DUX4
基因的剪接形式从 DUX4-fl 转换为 DUX4-s。一种包含上述寡核苷酸或其药学上可接受的盐的药物(如治疗面肱骨肌营养不良症)。
