WO OOI62'I36 PCT/US00/08020 LOW ADENOSINE ANTI~ENSE OLIGONUCLEOTIDE, COMPOSITIONS, KIT
& METHOD FOR TREATMENT OF AIRWAY DISORDERS ASSOCIATED
WITH BRONCHOCONSTRICTION, LUNG INFLAMMATION, ALLERGY(llES) & SURFACTANT DEPLETION
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Field of the Invention This patent relates to a composition comprising oligonucleotides (oligos) that are anti-sense to adenine receptors, and contain low amounts of or no adenosine (A). These agents are suitable for the treatment, among others, of pulmonary diseases associated with inflammation, impaired airways, including lung disease and diseases whose secondary effects afflict the lungs of a subject. Examples of these diseases are allergies, asthma, impeded respiration, allergic rhynitis, pain, cystic fibrosis, and cancers such as leukemias, e.g. colon cancer, and the like. The present agent may be administered prophylactically or therapeutically in conjunction with other therapies, or may be utilized as a substitute for therapies that have significant, negative side effects.
Backstround o~'the Invention Respiratory ailments, associated with a variety of diseases and conditions, are extremely common in the general population, and more so in certain ethnic groups, such as African Americans.
In some cases they are accompanied by inflammation, which aggravates the condition of the lungs.
Asthma, for example, is one of the most common diseases in industrialized countries. In the United States it accounts for about I% of all health care costs. An alarming increase in both the prevalence and mortality of asthma over the past decade has been reported, and asthma is predicted to be the preeminent occupational lung disease in the next decade. While the increasing mortality of asthma in industrialized countries could be attributable to the depletion reliance upon beta agonises in the treatment of this disease, the underlying causes of asthma romain poorly understood.
Adenosine may constitute an important mediator in the lung for various diseases, including bronchial asiltma. Its potential role was suggested by the finding that asthmatics respond favorably to aerosolized adenosine with marked bronchoconstriction whereas normal individuals do not. An asthmatic rabbit animal model, the dust mite allergic rabbit model for human asthma, responded in a similar fashion to aerosolized adenosine with marked bronchoconstriction whereas non-asthmatic rabbits showed no response. More recent work with this animal model suggested that adenosine-induced bronchoconstriction and bronchial hyperresponsiveness in asthma may be mediated primarily through the stimulation of adenosine receptors. Adenosine has also been shown to cause adverse effects, including death, when administered therapeutically for other diseases and conditions in subjects with previously undiagnosed hyper reactive airways.
A handful of medicaments have been available for the treatment of respiratory diseases and conditions, although in general they all have limitations. Theophyliine, an important drug in the treatment of asthma, is a known adenosine receptor antagonist which was reported to eliminate adenosine-mediated bronchoconstriction in asthmatic rabbits. A selective adenosine A, receptor antagonist, 8-cyclopentyl-1, 3-dipropylxanthine (DPCPX) was also reported to inhibit adenosine-mediated bronchoconstriction and bronchial hyperresponsiveness in allergic rabbits. The therapeutic and preventative applications of currently available adenosine A, receptor-specific antagonists are, nevertheless, limited by their toxicity. Theophylline, for example, has been widely used in the treatment of asthma, but is associated with frequent, significant toxicity resulting from its narrow therapeutic dose range. DPCPX is fat too toxic to be useful clinically, The fact that, despite decades of extensive research, no specific adenosine receptor antagonist is available for clinical use attests to the general toxicity of these agents. Anti-sense oligonucleotides have received considerable theoretical consideration as potential useful pharmacological agents in human disease.
Their practical application in actual models of human disease, however, has been somewhat elusive. One important impediment to their effective application has been a difficulty in finding an appropriate route of administration to 2 PCT/US00!(1R(120 deliver them to their site of action. Many in vivo experiments were conducted by administering anti-sense oligonucleotides directly to specific regions of the brain. These applications, however, necessarily have limited clinical utility due to their invasive nature.
Although anti-sense oligonucleotides have received considerable theoretical consideration for their potential use as pharmacological agents in human disease, fording practical and effective applications for these agents in actual models of human disease, however, have been few and far between, particularly because they had to be administered in large doses. Another important consideration in the phartnacoiogic application of these molecules is their route of administration. Many in vivo applications have involved the direct administration of anti-sense oligonucleotides to limited regions of the brain. Such applications, however, have limited clinical utility due to their invasive nature. The systemic administration of anti-sense oligonucleotides as pharmacological agents has been found to have also significant problems, not the least of which being an inherent difficulty in targeting disease-involved nssues. That is, the necessary dilution of the anti-sense oligonucleotide in the circulatory system makes extremely difficult to attain a therapeutic dose at the target tissue by intravenous or oral administration.
The bioavailabiiity of orally administered anti-sense oligonucleotides is very low, of the order of less than about 5%. Anti-sense oligonueleotides have been used in therapy by many, including the present inventor, who in his previous work successfully treated various diseases and conditions by direct administration of these agents to the lung. In many instances, other workers have had to face the difficulties associated with the delivery of DNA molecules to a desired target. Thus, the route of administration may be of extreme importance for treating generalized diseases and conditions as well as those which are localized. In contrast, up to the present time, the delivery of anti-sense agents to the lung has been relatively undeveloped. As described by the present inventor in more detail below, the lung is an excellent target for the direct administration of anti-sense oligonucleotides and provides a non-invasive and a tissue-specific route.
Clearly, there exist presently no effective therapies for treating these ailments, or at least no therapies which are effective and devoid of significant detrimental side effects. Accordingly, there is still a need for an agent for the treatment of adenosine mediated ailments afflicting the pulmonary and respiratory ailments affecting the lung airways, including respiratory problems, bronchoconstriction, inflammation, allergy(ies), depletion or hyposecretion of surfactant, ere., which is highly effective and sufficiently selective to avoid detrimental side effects produced by other therapies. In addition, there is a definite need for making available a delivery method that will require low amounts of therapeutic agents and will be effective for the rapid and targeted access of tissue genes of tnRNAs and the reversal of untoward effects afflicting a subject.
SiJN>1~IARY OF THIS INVENTION
The present invention generally relates to a pharmaceutical or veterinary composition, comprising an anti-sense oligonueleotide(s) (oligo(s)) which is (are) effective for alleviating bronchoconstriction and/or lung inflammation, allergy(ies), and\or surfactant depletion andlor hyposecretion, when administered to a mammal, the oligo containing about 0 to about 15% adenosine (A) and being anti-sense to a target selected from the group consisting of the initiation codon, the coding region, the 5'-end and the 3'-end genomic flanking regions, the 5' and 3' intron-exon junctions, and regions within 2 to 10 nucleotides of the junctions of a gene encoding a target polypeptide associated with lung airway dysfunction or anti-sense to the polypeptide mRNA;
combinations of the oligos; and mixtures of the oligos; and a pharmaceutically or vcterinarily acceptable carrier or diluent.
The targets are typically molecules associated with airway disease, cancer, etc., such as transcription factors, stimulating and activating peptide factors, cytokines, cytokine receptors, chemokines, chemokine receptors, adenosine receptors, bradykinin receptors, endogenously produced specific and non-specific enzymes, immunoglobulins and antibodies, antibody receptors, central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous and non-nervous system receptors, CNS and peripheral nervous and non-nervous system peptide transmitters, adhesion molecules, defensins, growth factors, vasoactive peptides and receptors, binding proteins, and malignancy associated proteins, among others. Examples are oligo(s) targeted to adenosine receptors) and it(they) are typically present in the composition in an amount effective to reduce adenosine mediated effect(s), such as airway obstruction, inflammation, allergy(ies), and sufactant depletion, among others. The adenosine receptor is preferably selected from the group consisting of the adenosine A,, Air, and A~ receptors, and in some instances even adenosine S AZ, receptors. The oligo of the invention may be applied to the preparation of a medicament for (a) reducing adenosine-mediated bronchoconstriction, impeded respiration, inflammation, allergy(ies), depletion production of surfactant, and other detrimental pulmonary effects in a subject in need of treatment, and/or for (b) treating specific diseases and conditions such as asthma, cystic fibrosis, allergic rhynitis, COPD, etc. For the fast time this invention provides the targeted administration of l0 one or mote oligonucleotides directly into the repiratory system. The oligos tray be directed to any target and are intended for fast delivery through the mucosal tissue of the lungs for hybridization to a desired target polynucleotide, e, g. mRNA, to prevent gene transcription and translation, such that protein expression will be reduced, hampered, or completely stopped. Thus, this invention also provides a more general method for administering oligonucleotides that are anti-sense to targeted genes IS and mRNAs associated with any type of diseases, by direct administration into the respiratory system, e. g. by inhalation, by introduction of a solution or aerosol into the respiratory airways, and/or directly into the lung.
The present oligos, moreover, are suitable for reducing effects mediated by a variety of target proteins and genes, for example adenosine-mediated effects, including pulmonary, respiratory, and 20 other associated effects, e. g, bronchoconstnction, inflammation, immune mediated reactions, allergy(ies) and other airway problems, which may be caused by different conditions, including cancer.
Examples of diseases and conditions, which may be treated preventatively, prophylactically and therapeutically with the agent of this invention, are pulmonary vasoconstriction, inf<ammation, allergies, asthma, impeded respiration, respiratory distress syndrome, pain, cystic fibrosis, allergic 25 rhynitis, pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary vasoconstriction, emphysema, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), bronchitis, and cancers such as leukemias, lymphomas, carcinomas, and the like, e.g. colon cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, hepatocellutar carcinoma, kidney cancer, melanoma, hepatic metastases, etc., as well as all types of cancers which may metastasize or have metastasized to the tung(s), including breast and prostate cancer. The present 30 agents are also suitable for administration before, during and after other treatments, including radiation, chemotherapy, antibody therapy, phototherapy and cancer, and other types of surgery. 'the present agent is effectively administered prophylactically and therapeurically in conjunction with other therapies, or by itself for conditions without known therapies or as a substitute for therapies that have significant negative side effects. The oligo(s) may be administered by any means known to a subject, 35 e. g. to the lungs of the subject, more generally through any and all systemic and topical routes. This oligonucleotide(s) (oligo(s)) employed are anti-sense to to a target DNA or RNA, e. g. an adenosine receptor DNA or RNA, and preferably consist essentially of up to about I 5%
adenosine (A), and more preferably contain no adenosine. The oligos are provided in the form of specific compositions and formulations, with a carrier or diluent, and optionally with other therapeutic agents and additives which 40 are used for administration by specific routes, e.g. into the respiratory system, topically, transdermally, parenterally, by implantation, and the Like. The oligo is also provided as a capsule or carnidge, and in the form of a kit. The oligos of the invention may be produced by selection of speciGe targeted segments of the gene or ntRNA encoding the adenosine receptor as described below. In one preferred embodiment, the selection is made to obtain oligos that consisting essentially of less than about i5%
45 adenosine (A). This may be done by selecting the target as done above, which includes genes, genomic flanking regions, RNAs and polypeptide associated with an ailment afflicting the lung airways, obtaining the sequence of a mRNA(s) corresponding to the target genes) and/or their genomic flanking regions) and/or the juxta-membrane regions thereof, and mRNA(s) encoding the target polypeptide(s), selecting at least one segment of the mRNA(s), and synthesizing one or more anti-sense 50 oligonucleotide(s) to the selected mRNA segment(s), and subsfituting, if necessary, an alternative, e. g.

WO 00/62736 PCTlUS001118020 a universal bases) or other bases) for one or more A to reduce the proportion of A present in the oligonucleotide to less than about 1S%, and down to no adenosine. Similarly, alternative and/or universal bases may be substituted for adenosine, e. g. specific adenosine A1, A2b and A3 receptor antagonists or A2a receptor agonists, theophilline, enprophylline, and many other adenosine receptor S antagonists known in the an as well as agonises with significantly reduced agonise activity with respect to adenosine, e. g. less than 0.5%, less than 0.3%, and the like.
The invention will now be described in general in conceptual and experimental terms, with reference to specific examples. Other obaects, advantages and features of the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in the an from the description that follows.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
This invention arose from a desire by the inventor to improve an prior art treatments for pulmonary and other diseases, which technology is generally frought with detrimental side effects and by the need of administering high doses of therapeutical agents. The present invention arises from the inventor's own discovery that adenosine receptor targeted anti-sense oligonucleotides (oligos) may be IS utilized therapeutically in the treatment of diseases or conditions which impair respiration, cause inflammation and/or allergy(ies), constrict bronchial tissue, obstruct the lung airways, depletion surfactant secretion, or otherwise impede normal breathing. In general, many diseases and conditions are associated with or cause inflammation, constrict bronchial tissue or the lung airways, depletion secretion of surfactant, augment allergy(ies), or otherwise impede normal breathing. 'This treatment is selective for specific targets associated with or mediating these symptoms, and the agents are administered in up to 1000-fold lower doses than those seen in the art. The inventor, in addition, wanted to provide a treatment which would improve the outcome and life style of patients undergoing other procedures or being administered other therapies, including antibody therapy, chemotherapy, radiation, phototherapy, and surgery e.g. cancer surgery, and that could be effectively administered preventatively, prophylacticaliy or therapeutically- He reasoned that he could further improve on this discovery by selecting oligos of reduced adenosine content, or reducing the adenosine content of otherwise targeted anti-sense oligos corresponding to endogenous polynucleotide sequences: The present invention is premised on the discovery by the inventor that oligonucleotides are metabolized in vivo to their mononucleotides. Adenosine (A)-containing ohgonucleotides break down and release adenosine which, in turn, activates adenosine receptors, thereby causing bronchoconstriction, inflatnmation, surfactant depletion, allergy(ies), and the like. He, thus, conceived of employing low adenosine-free adenosine oligos to avoid these side effects upon their administration. He succeeded in this endeavor and is providing in this patent novel and improved compositions, formulations and methods which afford greatly improved results when compared with previously known treatments for 3S preventing and alleviating bronchoconstriction, allergy(ies), inflammation, breathing difficulties, surfactant depletion and blockage of airways, as well as for other conditions which affect the lung directly or indirectly. In different embodiments, one or more nucleic acids of the invention may be formulated atone, and/or with one or more surfactant components and/or with a carrier, andlor with other therapeutic agents and/or formulation agents known in the art. The compositions of this invention, thus, may be incorporated into a variety of formulations for systemic and topical administration. Moreover, the inventor also provides a broad method for delivery of anti-sense oligonucleotides (oligos) through the respiratory system, as a fast means of starting treatment to address acute attacks of asthma and other diseases and conditions that have a rapid onset. In addition, the present agents have long halflives and may be administered at very low doses. This makes them 4S ideal for once a week type therapies. In the past, anti-sense oligonueleotides received considerable theoretical consideration as being potentially useful as pharmacologic agents for the treatment of human disease. Wagner, R., Nature 372: 333-335 ( 1994) However, it has been difficult to actually apply these molecules to allemating and curing human diseases. One important consideration in the phacmacologic application of these molecules has been the failure of various routes of administration to deliver the compounds to its target while avoiding invading the circulation and, therefore, other WO 00/62736 PCT/US(1(1/OR1120 untargeted tissues which, thus, produces a plethora of side effects. Most in vivo experiments utilizing anti-sense oligonucleotides involved a direct application of the oligo to limited regions of the brain.
See, Wahlestedt, C., Trends in Pharmacol. Sri. I5: 42-46 (1994); Lai, J. et al., Neuroreport S: 1049-1052 ( t 994); Standifer, K., et al., Neuron 12: 805-810 ( 1994}; Akabayashi, A., et al,, Brain Res. 21:
5 55-61 (1994). Others applied them into the spinal fluid. See, e.g, Tseng, 1.., et al., European J.
Pharmacol. 258: RI-3 (1994); Raffa, R., et al., European J. Phatmtacol. 258:
R5-7 (1994); Gillardon, F., et al., European J. Neurosci. 6: 880-884 ( 1994). Such applications, clearly, have no practical clinical utility due to their invasive nature. Thus, the systemic administration of anti-sense oligonucleotides poses significant problems with respect to their pharmacologic application, not the least of which is the difficulty in selectively targeting disease-involved tissues. The systemic administration of anti-sense oligonucleotides also poses significant problems with respect to their pharmacologic application, not the least of which is the difficulty in selectively targeting disease-involved tissues.
The respiratory system, and in particular the lung, as the ultimate port of entry into the I S organism, however, is an excellent route of administration for anti-sense oligonucleotides. This is so not only for the treatment of lung disease, but also when utilizing the lung as a means for delivery, particularly because of its non-invasive and tissue-specific nature. Thus, local delivery of antisense oligonucleotides directly to the target tissue enables the therapeutic use of these compounds.
Fomivirsen (ISIS 2302) is an example of a local drug delivery into the eye to treat cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis, for which a new drug application has been filed by ISIS. The administration of a drug through the Iang offers the further advantage that inhalation is non-invasive whereas direct injection in to the vitreous of the eye is invasive. The composition and formulations of this invention are highly efficacious for preventing and treating diseases and conditions associated with bronchoconstriction, difficult breathing, impeded and obstructed lung ainrvays, allergy(ies), inflammation and surfactant depletion, among others. Examples of diseases and conditions which are suitably treated by the present method are diseases and conditions, including Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome CARDS), asthma, adenosine administration e.g. in the treatment of SupraVentricular Tachycardia (SVT) and other arrhythmias, and in stress tests to hyper-sensitized individuals, ischemia, renal damage or failure induced by certain drugs, infantile respiratory distress syndrome, pain, cystic fibrosis, pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary vasoconstriction, emphysema, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), lung transplantation rejection, pulmonary infections, and cancers such as leukemias, lymphomas, carcinomas, and the like, including colon cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, hepatoceilular carcinoma, kidney cancer, melanoma, hepatic metastases, ere., as well as all types of cancers which rnay metastasize or have metastasized to the lung(s), including breast and prostate cancer. The invention will be described with respect to the adenosine receptors as targets, but is similarly applicable to any other target with respect to the pulmonary administration of anti-sense oligos. The examples provided below show a complete inhibition of such adenosine receptor associated symptoms in a rabbit model for human bronchoeonstriction, allergy(ies) and inflammation as well as the elimination of the ability of the adenosine receptor agonist par excellence, adenosine, to cause bronchoeonstriction in hyper-responsive monkeys, which are animal models for human hyper-responsiveness to adenosine receptor agonists. The pharmaceutical composition and formulations of the invention, therefore, are suitable for preventing and alleviating the symptoms associated with stimulation of adenosine receptors, such as the adenosine A, receptors. The compositions and formulations of this invention, thus, are also suitable for prevent the untoward side effects of adenosine-mediated hyperresponsiveness in certain individuals, which are generally seen in diseases affecting respiratory activity.
The method of the present invention may be used to neat airway diseases and conditions in a subject of any kind and for any reason, with the intention that the adenosine content of anti-sense compounds be minimized, reduced or eliminated so as to prevent its liberation upon anti-sense degradation. Examples of diseases and conditions, which may be treated preventatively, 6 PCTlUS11111t1802(1 prophyiacticaliy and therapeutically with the compositions and formulations of this invention, are pulmonary vasoconstriction, inflammation, allergies, asthma, allergic rhynitis, impeded respiration, Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome CARDS), renal damage and failure associated with ischemia as well as the administration of certain drugs, side effects associated with adenosine administration e.g. in SupraVentricular Tachycardia (SVT) and in adenosine stress tests, infantile Respiratory Distress Syndrome (infantile RUS), ARDS, pain, cystic fibrosis, pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary vasoconstriction, emphysema, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), lung transplantation rjejection, pulmonary infections, and cancers such as leukemias, lymphomas, carcinomas, and the like, e.g. colon cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, kidney IO cancer, melanoma, metastatic cancer such as hepatic metastases, lung, breast and prostate metastases, among others. The present compositions and formulations are suitable for administration before, during and after other treatments, including radiation, chemotherapy, antibody therapy, phototherapy and cancer, and other types of surgery. The present compositions and formulations tray also be administered effectively as a substitute for therapies that have significant negative side effects.The terms "anti-sense" oligonucleotides generally refers to small, synthetic oligonucleotides, resembling single-stranded DNA, which in this patent are applied to the inhibition of gene expression by inhibition of a target messenger RNA (mRNA). See, Milligan, 1. F. et al., 1.
Med. Chem. 36(14), 1923-1937 (1993), the relevant portion of which is hereby incorporated in its entirety by reference. For consistency=s sake, all RNAs and oligonucleotides are represented in this patent by a single strand in the 5' to 3' direction, when read from left to right, although their complementary sequences) is (are) also encompassed within the four corners of the invention. In addition, all nucleotide bases and amino acids are represented utilizing the recommendations of the CUPAC-IUB
Biochetrueal Nomenclature Commission, or by the known 3-letter code (for amino acids). Nucleotide sequences ate presented herein by single strand only, in the 5' to 3' direction, from left to right.
In addition, nucleotide and amino acids are represented herein in the manner recommended by the IUPAC-IUB
Biochemical Nomenclature Commission, or (for amino acids) by three letter code, in accordance with 37 CFR ' 1.822 and established usage. See, e.g., PatentIn User Manual, 99-102 (Nov.
1990) (U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, Office of the Assistant Commissioner for Patents, Washington, D.C. 20231); U.S.
Patent No. 4,871,670 to Hudson et al. at col. 3, lines 20-43. The present method utilizes anti-sense agents to inhibit or down-regulate gene expression of target genes, including those listed in Tables l and 2 below. This is generally attained by hybridization of the anti-sense oligonucleotides to coding (sense) sequences of a targeted messenger RNA (rnRNA), as is known in the art.
The exogenously administered agents of the invention decrease the levels of mRNA and protein encoded by the target gene and/or cause changes in the growth characteristics or shapes of the thus treated cells. See, Milligan et al. (1993); Helene, C. and Toulme,1. Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1049, 99-125 (1990); Cohen, J. S. D., Ed., Oligodeoxynucleotides as Anti-sense Inhibitors of Gene Expression; CRC Press: Boca Raton, FL (1987), the relevant portion of which is hereby incorporated in its entirety by reference. As used herein, "anti-sense oligonucleotide or asnti-sense oligo" is generally a short sequence of synthetic nucleotide that (1) hybridizes to any segment of a mRNA encoding a targeted protein under appropriate hybridization conditions, and which (2) upon hybridization causes a decrease in gene expression of the targeted protein. The terms "desAdenosine" (desA) and "des-thymidine" (desT) refer to oligonucleotides substantially lacking either adenosine (dcsA) or lhymidine (desT). In some instances, the des A or des T sequences are naturally occurring, and in others they may result from substitution of an undesirable nucleotide (A) by another lacking its undesirable activity, such as acting as an agonist or having a triggering effect at the adenosine A receptor(s). In the present context, the substitution is generally accomplished by substitution of A with a "universal or alternative base", presently known in the art or to be ascertained at a later time. As used herein, the terms "prevent", "preventing", "treat" or "treating" refer to a preventative, prophylactic, maintenance, or therapeutic treatment which decreases the likelihood that the subject adnlinistered such treatment will manifest symptoms associated with adenosine receptor stimulation. The term "down-regulate" refers to inducing WO 00/G273G PCTlUS00/08020 a decrease in production, secretion or availability and, thus, a decrease in concentration, of intracellular target product, be it a receptor e. g. adenosine A" A=b, A" bradykinin 2B, GATA-3, or other receptors, or an increase in concentration of the adenosine Al, receptor. The present technology relies on the design of anti-sense oligos targeted to mRNAs associated with ailments involving lung airway pathology(ies), and on their modification to reduce the occurrence of undesirable side effects caused by their release of adenosine upon breakdown, while preserving their activity and efficacy for their intended purpose. In this manner, the inventor targets a specific gene to design one or more anti-sense oligonucleotide(s) (oligos) that selectively bmd(s) to the corresponding ntRNA, and then reduces, if necessary, their content of adenosine via substitution with an alternative or a universal base, or an adenosine analog incapable of significantly, or having substantially reduced ability for, activating or antagonizing adenosine A,, Alb or A, receptors or which may act as an agonist at the adenosine A,~, receptor. Any number of adenosines present may be substituted by an alternative andlor universal base, such as heteroaromatic bases, which binds to a thymidine base but has less than about 0.3 of the adenosine base agonist or antagonist activity at the adenosine A" Az" Alb and A, receptors. Based on his prior experience in the field, the inventor reasoned that in addition to "downregulating" specific genes, he could increase the effect of the agents) administered by either selecting segments of RNA
that are devoid, or have a low content, of thymidine (T) or, alternatively, substitute one or more adenosine(s) present in the designed oligonucleotide(s) with other nucleotide bases, so called universal bases, which bind to thymidine but lack the ability to activate adenosine receptors and otherwise exercise the constricting effect of adenosine in the lungs, etc. Given that adenosine (A) is a nucleotide base complementary to thymidine (T), when a T appears in the RNA, the anti-sense oligo will have an A at the same position.
In one aspect of this invention, the anti-sense oligonucleotide has a sequence which specifically binds to a portion or segment of a mRNA molecule which encodes a protein associated with impeded breathing, siiergy(ies), lung inflammation, depletion of lung surfactant or lowering of lung surfactant, airway obstruction, bronchitis, and the like. One effect of this binding i5 to reduce or even prevent the translation of the corresponding mRNA and, thereby, reduce the available amount of target protein in the subject=s lung. In one preferred embodiment of this invention, the phosphodiester residues of the anti-sense oligonucleotide are modified or substituted.
Chemical analogs of oligonucleotides with modified or substituted phosphodiester residues, e.g., to the methylphosphonate, the phosphotriester, the phosphorothioate, the phosphorodlthioate, or the phosphoramidate, a=
methoxy ethyl and similar modifications, which increase the in vivo stability of the oligonucleotide are particularly preferred. The naturally occurring phosphodiester linkages of oligonucleotides are susceptible to some degree of degradation by cellular nucleases. Many of the residues proposed herein, on the contrary, are highly resistant to nuclease degradation. See, Milligan et al,; Cohen, J. S. D., supra.
In another preferred embodiment of the invention, the oligonucleotides may be protected from degradation by adding a "3'-end cap" by which nuclease-resistant linkages are substituted for phosphodiester linkages at the 3' end of the oligonucleotide. See, Tidd, D. M.
and Warenius, H.M., Be.
J. Cancer 60: 343-350 (1989); Shaw, J.P et al., Nucleic Acids Res. 19: 747-750 (1991), the relevant section of which are incorporated in their entireties herein by reference.
Phosphoramidates, phosphorothioates, and methylphosphonate linkages all function adequately in this manner for the purposes of this invention, as do a' modifications, such as a' methoxy ethyl, and the like. The more extensive the modification of the phosphodiester backbone the more stable the resulting agent, and in many instances the higher their RNA affinity and cellular petTneation. See, Milligan, et al., supra. In addition, a plurality of substitutions to the carbohydrate ring are also known to improve stability of nucleic acids. Thus, the number of residues which may be modified or substituted will vary depending on the need, target, and route of administranon, and may be from 1 to all the residues, to any number in between. Many different methods for replacing the entire phosphodiester backbone with novel linkages are known, See, Millikan et al, supra. Preferred backbone analogue residues include phosphoramidate, phosphorothioate, methylphosphonate, phosphorotriester, phosphotriester, thiofotmacetal, WO OO1G273G PCT/US00lU802U
phosphorodithioate, phosphoramidate, fortrlacetal, trifortnacetal, thioether, carbamate, boranophosphate, 3'-thioformacetal, 5'-thioether, carbonate, Cs-substituted nucleotides, 5'-N-carbamate, sulfate, sulfonate, sulfamate, sulfonamide, sulfone, sulfite, 2'-O
methyl, sulfoxide, sulfide, hydroxylamine, methylene(methylimino) (MMI), methoxymethyl (MOM), and methoxyethyl(MOE), and methyleneoxy(methylimino) (MOMI) residues, and combinations thereof.
Phosphorothioate and methylphosphonate-modified oligonucleotides are particularly preferred due to their availability through automated oligonucleotide synthesis. See, Millikan et al, supra. Where appropriate, the agent of this invention may be administered in the form of their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, or as a mixture of the anti-sense ohgonucleotide and its salt. In another embodiment of this invention, a mixture of different anti-sense oligonucleohdes or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts is administered. A single agent of this invention has the capacity to attenuate the expression of a target mRNA and/or various agents to enhance or attenuate the activity of a pathway.
By means of example, the present method may be practiced by identifying all possible deoxyribonucleotide segments which ate low in thymidine (T) or deoxynucleotide segments low in adenosine (A) of about 7 or more mononucleotides, preferably up to about 60 mononucleotides, more preferably about 10 to about 36 mononucleotides, and still more preferably about 12 to about 21 mononucleotides, in a target mRNA
or a gene, respectively. This may be attained by searching for mononucleotide segments within a target sequence which are low in, or lack thymidine (RNA), a nucleotide which is complementary to adenosine, or that are low in adenosine (gene), that are 7 or more nucleotides long. In most cases, this search typically results in about 10 to 30 such sequences, i.e. naturally Lacking or having less than about 40% adenosine, anti-sense oligonucleotides of varying lengths for a typical target mRNA of average length, i.e., about 1800 nucleotides long. Those with high content of 1' or A, respectively, may be fixed by substitution of a universal base for one or more As. The agents) of this invention may be of any suitable length, including but not limited to, about 7 to about 60 nucleotides long, preferably about 12 to about 45, more preferably up to about 30 nucleotides long, and still more preferably up to about 21, although they may be of other lengths as well, depending on the particular target and the mode of delivery. The agents) of the invention may be directed to any and all segments of a target RNA. One preferred group of agents) includes those directed to an mRNA region containing a junction between an introit and an exon. Where the agent is directed to an intron/exon junction, it may either entirely overlie the junction or it may be sufficiently close to the junction to inhibit the splicing-out of the intervening exon during processing of precursor mRNA to mature mRNA, e.g. with the 3' or 5' terminus of the anti-sense oligonucleotide being positioned within about, for example, within about 2 to 10, preferably about 3 to 5, nucleotide of the intron/exon junction. Also preferred are anti-sense oligonucleotides which overlap the initiation codon, and those near the 5' and 3' termini of the coding region. The flanking regions of the exons may also be targeted as well as the spliced segments in the precursor mRNAs. The mRNA sequences of the adenosine receptors and of many other targets are derived from the DNA base sequence of the gene expressing either receptors, e.
g, the adenosine receptors, the enzymes, factors, or other targets associated with airway disease. For example, the sequence of the genomic human A, adenosine receptor is known and is disclosed in U.S. Patent No.
5,320,963 to Stiles, G., et al. The A, adenosine receptor has been cloned, sequenced and expressed in rat (see, Zhou, F., et al., P.N.A.S. (USA) 89: 7432 ( 1992)) and human (see, Jacobson, M. A., et al., U.K, Patent Application No. 9304582.1 ( 1993)). The sequence of the adenosine A2h receptor gene is also known. See, Salvatore, C. A., Luneau, C. J., Johnson, R. G. and Jacobson, M., Genomics ( 1995), the relevant portion of which is hereby incorporated in tts entirety by reference. The sequences of many of the remaining exemplary target genes are also known. See, GenBank, NIH. The sequences of those genes whose sequences are not yet available may be obtained by isolating the target segments applying technology known in the art. Once the sequence of the gene, its RNA
andlor the protein are known, an anti-sense oligonucleotides may be produced according to this invention as described above to reduce the production of the targeted protein in accordance u~irh standard techniques. The sequences for the adenosine A" bradykinin, and other genes as well as methods for preparation of WO 00/62736 PCT/lJS00/08020 oligonucleotides are also known as those of many other target genes and mRNAs for which this invention is suitable. Thus, anti-sense oligonucleotides that downregulate the production of target sequences associated with airway disease, including the adenosine A,, A" Aip, A3, bradykinin, GATA-3, COX-2, and many other receptors, may be produced in accordance with standard techniques.
Examples of diseases and conditions which are suitably treated by the present method are diseases and conditions, including Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome CARDS), asthma, adenosine administration e.g. in the treatment of SupraVentricular Tachycardia (SVT) and other arrhythmias, and in stress tests to hyper-sensitized individuals, ischemia, renal damage or failure induced by certain drugs, infantile respiratory distress syndrome, pain, cystic fibrosis, pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary vasoconstriction, emphysema, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pulmonary transplantation rejection, pulmonary infections, and cancers such as leukemias, lymphomas, carcinomas, and the like, including colon cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, kidney cancer, melanoma, hepatic metastases, etc., as well as all types of cancers which may metastasize or have metastasized to the lung(s), including breast and prostate I S cancer.
The adenosine receptors discussed above are mere examples of the high power of the inventor=s technology. In fact, a large number of genes may be targeted in a similar manner by the present agent(s), to reduce or down-regulate protein expression. By means of example, if the target disease or condition is one associated with impeded or reduced breathing, bronchoconstriction, chronic ZO bronchitis, pulmonary bronchoconstriction and/or hypertension, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pulmonary transplantation rejection, pulmonary infections, allergy, asthma, cystic fibrosis, respiratory distress syndrome, cancers, which either directly or by metastasis afflict the lung, the present method may be applied to a list of potential target mRNAs, which includes the targets listed in Table 1 and Table 2 below, among others. The anti-sense agents) of the invention have a low A
25 content to prevent its liberation upon in vivo degradation of the agent(s).
For example, if the system is the pulmonary or respiratory system, a large number of genes is involved in different functions, including those listed in Table 1 below.

These genes, and others, are involved in the normal functioning of respiration as well as in diseases associated with respiratory pathologies, including cystic fibrosis, asthma, pulmonary hypertension and vasoconstriction, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pulmonary transplantation rejection, pulmonary infections, chronic bronchitis, respiratory distress syndrome CARDS), allergic rhinitis, lung cancer and lung metastatic cancers and other airway diseases, including those with inflammatory response.
Anti-sense oligos to the target receptors, e. g. the adenosine A" AZ" Aib, and A~ receptors, CCR3 (chemokine receptors), bradykinin 2B, CAM (vascular cell adhesion molecule), and eosinophil receptors, among others, have been shown to be effective m down-regulating the expression of their genes. Some of these act to alleviate the symptoms or reduce respiratory ailments and/or inflammation, for example, by "down regulation" of the adenosine A" A~" AZe, and/or A, receptors and CCR3, bradykinin 2B, VCAM (vascular cell adhesion molecule) and eosinophil receptors. These agents may be utilized by the present method alone or in conjunction with anti-sense oligos targeted to other genes to validate pathway and/or networks in which they are involved. For better results, the oligos are IS preferably administered directly into the respiratory system, e.g., by inhalation or other means, of the experimental animal, so that they may reach the lungs without widespread systemic dissemination.
This permits the use of low agent doses as compared with those administered systemically of by other generalized routes and, consequently, reduces the number and degree of undesirable side effects resulting from the agent=s widespread distribution in the body. 'IZte agents) of this invention has (have) been shown to reduce the amount of receptor protein expressed by the tissue. These agents, thus, rather than merely interacting with their targets, a g. a receptor, lower the number of target proteins that other drugs may interact with. In this manner, the present agents) affords) extremely high efficacy with low toxicity. Anti-sense oligonucleotides to the A, , A~b, A,, bradykinin B2, GATA-3, CAM (vascular cell adhesion molecule), eosinophil receptors, and COX-2 receptors, among others, have been shown to be affective in the down-regulation of the respective receptor proteins in the cell.
One novel feature of this treatment, as compared to traditional treatments for adenosine-mediated bronchoconstriction, is that administration is direct to the lungs, or in situ to other tissues, organs or systems of the body. Additionally, a receptor protein itself is reduced in amount, rather than merely interacting with a drug, and toxicity is reduced. Other proteins that may be targeted with anti-sense agents for the treatment of lung conditions include, but are not Limited to:
CCR3 (chemokine) receptors, human A2, adenosine receptor, human Azb adenosine receptor, human IgE receptor [3, human Fc-epsilon receptor CD23 antigen, human histidine decarboxylase, human beta tryptase, human tryptase-I, human prostaglandin D synthase, human cyclooxigenase-2, human eosinophil cationic protein, human eosinophil derived neurotoxin, human eosinophil peroxidase, human intercellular adhesion molecule-I (ICAM-1), human vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-i), human endothelial leukocyte adhesion molecule-1 (SLAM-1), human P selectin, human endothelial monocyte activating factor, human IL-3, human IL-4, human IL.-5, human IL-6, human IL-8, human monocyte-derived neutrophil chemotactic factor, human neutrophil elastase, human neutrophil oxidase factot, human cathepsin G, human defensin 1, human defensin 3, human macrophage inflammatory protein-1-alpha, human muscarinic acetylcholine receptor HM3, human fibronectin, human GM-CSF, human tumor necrosis factor a, human leukotriene C4 synthase, hunu3n major basic protein, and human endothelia t. Although not intended to be exclusive, a more extensive list of genes is provided below.
Some of these act to alleviate the symptoms or reduce respiratory ailments and/or inflammation, for example, by "down regulation" of the adenosine A,, AI" A2b, and/or A, receptors and CCR3, bradykinin 2B, VCAM (vascular cell adhesion molecule) and eosinophil receptors. These agents are preferably administered directly into the respiratory system, e.g., by inhalation or other means, so that they may reach the lungs without widespread systemic dissemination. 'This permits the use of substantially lower doses of the agent of the invention as compared with those administered by the prior art, systemically or by other generalized routes and, consequently, reduce undesirable side effects SO resulting from the agent=s widespread distribution in the body. The agents) of this invention has (have) been shown to reduce the amount of receptor protein expressed by the tissue. These agents, thus, rather than merely interacting with their targets, e.g. a receptor, lower the number of target proteins that other drugs may interact with. In this manner, the present agents) affords) extremely high efficacy with low toxicity. In these latter targeu, and in target genes in general, it is particularly imperative to eliminate or reduce the adenosine content of the corresponding anti-sense oligonucIeotide to prevent their breakdown products from liberating adenosine.
As used herein, the term "treat" or "treating" asthma refers to a treatment which decreases the likelihood that the subject administered such treatment will manifest symptoms of the lung disease.
The term "dowttregulate" refers to inducing a decrease in production, secretion or availability (and thus a decrease in concentration) of the targeted intracellular protein. The present invention is concerned primarily with the treatment of human subjects. However, the agents and methods disclosed here may also be employed for veterinary purposes, such as is the case in the treatment of other mammals, such as cattle, horses, wild animals, zoo animals, and domestic animals, e. g. dogs and cats. Targeted proteins are preferably mammalian and more preferably of the same species as the subject being treated. In general, "anti-sense" refers to the use of small, synthetic oligonucleotides, resembling single-stranded DNA, to inhibit gene expression by inhibiting the function of the target messenger RNA (mRNA). Milligan, J. F. et al., J. Med. Chem. 36(14), 1923-1937 (1993). 1n the present invention, inhibition of gene expression of the A, or A3 adenosine receptor is desired. Gene expression is inhibited through hybridization to coding (sense) sequences in a specific messenger RNA (mRNA) target by hydrogen bonding according to Watson-Crick base pairing rules. The mechanism of anti-sense inhibition is that the exogenously applied oligonucleotides decrease the mRNA and protein levels of the target gene or cause changes in the growth Characteristics or shapes of the cells. Id. See, also Nelene, C, and Toulme, J., Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1049, 99-125 (1990); Cohen, J. S. D., Ed., Oligodeoxynucleotides as Anti-sense Inhibitors of Gene Expression; CRC Press:
Boca Raton, FL
( 1987). As used herein, "anti-sense oligonucleotide" is defined as a short sequence of synthetic nucleotide that (1) hybridizes to any coding sequence in an mRNA which codes for the targeted protein, according to hybridization conditions described below, and (2) upon hybridization causes a decrease in gene expression of the A, or A, adenosine receptor. The receptors discussed above are mere examples of the high power of the present technology. In fact, a large number of genes may be targeted in a similar manner by practicing the present methods, to significantly down-regulate or obliterate protein expression and observe any changes wrought to one or more functions within a system, e.g. the respiratory system and other lung disease associated targets.
By means of example, in the respiratory system, the targets may be associated With difficulties of breathing, bronchoconstriction, inflammation, allergic rhynitis, chronic bronchitis, surfactant depletion, and others associated with diseases and conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pulmonary transplantation rejection, pulmonary infections, inhalation bums, Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), cystic fibrosis, pulmonary fibrosis, radiation pulmonitis, tonsilitis, emphysema, dental pain, oral inflammation, joint pain, esophagitis, cancers afflicting the respiratory system either directly such as Lung cancer, esophageal cancer, and the like, or indirectly by means of metastases, among others. These functions are of great interest because of their association with respiratory dysfunction, as is the case in asthma, allergies, allergic rhinitis, pulmonary bronchoconstriction and hypertension, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pulmonary transplantation rejection, pulmonary infections, allergy, asthma, cystic fibrosis (CF), Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome CARDS) as well as infantile and pregnancy-related RDS, cancer, ere., which either directly or by metastasis afflict the lung, the present anti-sense oligonucleotides may be directed to a list of target mRNAs, which includes the targets listed in Table I above, among others.
The oligos of this invention may be obtained by first selecting fragments of a target nucleic acid having at least 4 contiguous nucleic acids selected from the group consisting of G and C and/or having a specific type and/or extent of activity, and then obtaining a first oligonucleotide 4 to 60 nucleotides long which comprises the selected fragment and has a thymidine (T) nucleic acid content WO 00162736 PCTlUS00/0$020 of up to and including about 15%, preferably, about 12%, about 10%, about 7%, about 5%, about 3%, about 1%, and more preferably no thymidine. The latter step may be conducted by obtaining a second oligonucleotide 4 to GO nucleotides long comprising a sequence which is anti-sense to the selected fragment, the second oligonucleotide having an adenosine base content of up to and including about 15%, preferably about 12%, about t0%, about 7%, about 5%, about 3%, about I%, and more preferably no adenosine.

Reduced adenosine content of the anti-sense oligos corresponding to the thymidines (T') present in the target RNA serves to prevent the breakdown of the oligos into products that free adenosine into thZ
system, e.g. the lung, brain, heart, kidney, ere., tissue environment and, thereby, to prevent any unwanted effects due to it. By means of example, the Nf6B transcription factor may be selected as a target, and its rnRNA or DNA searched for low thymidine (T) or desthymidine (desT) fragments. Only desT segments of the mRNA or DNA are selected which, in rum, will produce desA
anti-sense as their complementary strand. When a number of RNA des'f segments are found, the sequence of the anti.
sense segments may be deduced. Typically, about 10 to 30 and even larger numbers of desA apti-sense sequences may be obtained. These anti-sense sequences may include some or all desA anti-sense oligonucleotide sequences corresponding to desT segments of the mRNA of the target, such as anyone of those shown in Table I above, in Table 2 below, and others associated with functions of the brain, cardiovascular and renal systems, and many others. When this occurs, the anti-sense oligonucleotides found are said to be 100% A-free. For each of the original desA anti-sense oligonucleotide sequences corresponding to the target gene, e_g. the NF6B transcription factor, typically about 10 to 30 sequences may be found within the target gene or RNA which have a low content of thymidine (RNA). In accordance with this invention, the selected fragment sequences may also contain a small number of thymidine (RNA) nucleotides within the secondary or tertiary or quaternary sequences. In some cases, 1.t a large adenosine content may suffice to render the anti-sense oligonucleotide less active or even inactive against the target. In accordance with this invention, these so called "non-fully desA"
sequences may preferably have a content of adenosine of less than about 15%, about 12%, about 10%, about 7%, about 5%, and about 2% adenosine. Most preferred is no adenosine content (0%). In some instances, however, a higher content of adenosine is acceptable and the oligonucleotides still fail to show detrimental "adenosine activity". A particular important embodiment is that where the adenosine nucleotide is "fixed" or replaced by a "Universal or alternative" base that may base-pair with similar or equal affinity to two or more of the four nucleotide present in natural DNA:
A, G, C, and T.
A universal or alternative base is defined in this patent as any compound, more commonly an adenosine analogue, which has substantial capacity to hybridize to thymidine, while at the same time having reduced, or substantially lacking, ability to bind adenosine receptors or other molecules through which adenosine may exert an undesirable side effect in the experimental animal or in a cell system.
Alternatively, adenosine analogs which completely fail to activate, or have significantly reduce ability for activating, adenosine receptors, such as the adenosine A" ,4z6 andlor A, receptors, most preferably A, receptors, and those that may even act as agonists of the adenosine Az"
receptor, may be used. One example of a universal base is a-deoxyribofuranosol-(5-nitroittdole), and an artisan will know how to select others. This "fixing" step generates further novel sequences, different from those anti-sense to the ones found in nature, that permits the anti-sense ohgonucleotide to bind, preferably equally well, with the target RNA. Other examples of universal or alternative bases are 2-deoxyribosyl-(S-ZO nitroindole). Other examples of universal bases are 3 - nitropyrrole - 2' -deoxynucleoside, 5 - nitro-indole, 2 - deoxyribosyl - (5 - nitroindole), 2-deoxyribofuranosyl - (5-nitroindole), 2' - deoxyinosine, 2' -deoxynebularine, 6H, 8H-3,4-dihydropyrimido [ 4, 5 - c] oxazine - 7 - one and 2 - amino - 6 -methoxy aminopurine. In addition to the above, Universal bases which may be substituted for any other base although with somewhat reduced hybridization potential, include 3 -nitropyrrole 2' - deoxynucleoside 2 - deoxyribofuranosyl - (5 - nitroindole), 2' - deoxyinosine and 2' -deoxynebularine (Glen Research, Sterling, VA). More specific mismatch repairs may be made using "P"
nucleotide, 6H, 8H - 3, 4 -dihydropyrimido [4,5 - c] [l, 2] oxazin - 7 - one, which base pairs with either guanine (G) or adenine (A) and "K" nucleotide, 2 - amino - 6 - methoxyaminopurine, which base pairs with either cytidine (C) or thymidine (T), among others. Others which are known in the art or will become available are also suitable. See, for example, Loakes, D. and Brown, D. M., Nucl. Acids Res.

When non-fully desT sequences are found in the naturally occurring target, they typically are selected so that about 1 to 3 universal base substitutions will suffice to obtain a 100% "desA" anti-sense oligonucleotide. 'thus, the present method provides either anti-sense oligonucleotides to different targets which are low in, or devoid of, A content, as well as anti-sense oligonucleotides where one or more adenosine nucleotides, e. g.
about 1 to 3, or more, may be "fixed" by replacement with a "Universal" or "replacement" base.
Universal bases are known in the art and need not be listed herein. An artisan will know which bases may act as universal bases, and replace them for A. Table 2 below provides a selected number of targets to which the agents of the invention are effectively applied. Others, however, may also be targeted.

Examples are transforming oncogenes, including, but not limited to, ras, src, myc, and BGL-2, among others. Other targets are 15 those to which present cancer chemotherapeutic agents are directed to, such as various enzymes, primarily, although not exclusively, thymidylate synthetase, dihydrofolate reductase, thymidine kinase, deoxycytidine kinase, ribonucleotide reductase, and the like. The present technology is particularly useful in the treatment of cancer ailments given that traditional cancer therapies are naught with the unresolved problem of selectively killing cancer cells while preserving normal living cells from the devastating effects of treatments such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and the like. The present technology provides the abiiiry of selectively attenuating or enhancing a desired pathway or target.
This approach provides a significant advantage over standard treatments of cancer because it permits the selection of a pathway, including primary, secondary and possibly tertiary targets, which are not generally expressed simultaneously in normal cells. Thus, the present agent may be administered to a subject to cause a selective increase in toxicity within tumor cells that, for instance, express all three targets while normal cells that may expresses only one or two of the targets will be significantly less affected or even spared. A group of preferred targets for the treatment of cancers are genes associated with different types of cancers, or those generally known to be associated with malignancies, whether they are regulatory or involved in the production of RNA and/or proteins.
Examples are transfotining oncogenes, including, but not limited to, ras, src, myc, and BCL-2, among others. Other targets are those to which present cancer chemotherapeutic agents are directed to, such as various enzymes, primarily, although not exclusively, thymidylate synthetase, dihydrofolate reductase, thymidine kinase, deoxycytidine kinase, ribonucleotide reductase, and the like.

WHAT IS CLAIMED AS NOVEL & UNOBVIOUS
IN UNITED STATES LETTERS PATENT IS:
1. A pharmaceutical composition, comprising an oligonucleotide(s) (oligo(s)) which is (are) effective for alleviating bronchoconstriction and/or lung inflammation, allergy(ies), or surfactant depletion or hyposecretion, when administered to a mammal, the oligo containing about 0 to about 15% adenosine (A) and being anti-sense to a target selected from the group consisting of the initiation codon, the coding region, the 5'-end and the 3'-end genomic flanking regions, the 5' and 3' intron-exon junctions, and regions within 2 to 10 nucleotides of the junctions of a gene encoding a target polypeptide associated with lung airway dysfunction or anti-sense to the polypeptide mRNA; combinations of the oligos; and mixtures of the oligos; and a pharmaceutically or veterinarily acceptable carrier or diluent.
2. The composition of claim 1, wherein the oligo is A-free.
3.
