Aspects of the present disclosure include methods of reducing the deleterious impact of a target gene in a cell, such as the deleterious activity of a mutant extended nucleotide repeat (NR) containing target gene in a cell, by contacting the cell with an effective amount of an enantiomeric tetrahydrocarbazolamine compound. The deleterious activity (e.g., toxicity and/or dis-functionality of products encoded thereby) of a mutant extended NR containing target gene may be reduced, e.g., by reducing (and in some instances differentially, including selectively, reducing) the production or activity of toxic expression products (e.g., RNA or protein) encoded by the target gene. Kits and compositions for practicing the subject methods are also provided.
本公开的方面包括减少细胞中目标基因的有害影响的方法,例如通过与具有有效量的对映体四氢吲哚胺化合物接触细胞来减少细胞中包含目标基因的突变扩展核苷酸重复(NR)的有害活性。突变扩展NR包含目标基因的有害活性(例如,由其编码的产物的毒性和/或功能障碍)可能通过减少(在某些情况下是差异地,包括选择性地减少)由目标基因编码的有毒表达产物(例如,RNA或蛋白质)的产生或活性来减少。还提供了用于实施该主题方法的试剂盒和组合物。
