The present invention relates to methods of using optimized aptamers. In certain embodiments, the present invention provides a method for treating a subject having or being disposed to having a histone-induced injury or disease comprising administering to the subject a pharmaceutical composition comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and (i) a nucleic acid molecule not more than 90 nucleotides in length comprising an aptamer KU1, KU2, KU3, KU4, KU5, KU6, KU&, KU8, or KU9, wherein the aptamer specifically targets extracellular histones, wherein the nucleotides are RNA; or (ii) a conjugate comprising a nucleic acid molecule not more than 90 nucleotides in length comprising an aptamer KU1, KU2, KU3, KU4, KU5, KU6, KU&, KU8, or KU9, wherein the aptamer specifically targets extracellular histones, wherein the nucleotides are RNA, wherein the nucleic acid molecule is linked to a therapeutic molecule.
本发明涉及使用优化适配体的方法。在某些实施方案中,本发明提供了一种用于治疗具有组蛋白诱导的损伤或疾病的受试者或被处置为具有组蛋白诱导的损伤或疾病的受试者的方法,该方法包括向受试者施用药物组合物,该药物组合物包含药学上可接受的载体和(i)长度不超过90个核苷酸的核酸分子,该核酸分子包含适配体KU1、KU2、KU3、KU4、KU5、KU6、KU&、KU8或KU9、KU2、KU3、KU4、KU5、KU6、KU&、KU8 或 KU9,其中该适配体特异性靶向细胞外组蛋白,其中核苷酸为 RNA;或(ii)包含长度不超过 90 个核苷酸的核酸分子的共轭物,该核酸分子包含适配体 KU1、KU2、KU3、KU4、KU5、KU6、KU&、KU8 或 KU9,其中适配体特异性靶向细胞外组蛋白,其中核苷酸为 RNA,其中核酸分子与治疗分子相连。
