a, b Pcca−/− (A138T) mice received a single bolus IV dose of mRNA-3927 (1.0 or 2.0 mg/kg). Blood samples were collected at multiple time points up to 48 h postdose. Plasma concentrations of hPCCA (n = 4–7 mice/dose level/timepoint) and hPCCB mRNA (n = 4–7 mice/dose level/timepoint), respectively were quantified using branched DNA analysis. c Pcca−/− (A138T) mice received 2 IV bolus doses of Tris-sucrose (control) or 0.5 mg/kg mRNA-3927 on Days 0 and 28 (n = 6 mice/group). PCC activity was measured using a radiometric activity assay wherein the mitochondrial fractions of liver homogenates were incubated with a PCC substrate and the enzymatic product was quantified by scintillation. df Blood was collected from mice prior to treatment and on Days 2, 8, 14, 22, and 28 after the first IV dose, and 2 days after the second IV dose. Plasma concentrations of 2-MC (n = 6 mice/group, where only n = 5 samples were available for analysis in the 0.5 mg/kg mRNA-3927 group at Day 8), 3-HP (n = 6 mice/group, where only n = 2 and 5 samples were available for analysis in the Wild type group at Days 2 and 22, respectively; where only n = 5 and 2 samples were available for analysis in the 0.5 mg/kg mRNA-3927 group prior to treatment and Day 8, respectively; where only n = 5 samples were available for analysis in the Control group at Day 2), and C3/C2 (n = 6 mice/group, where only n = 5 samples were available for analysis in the 0.5 mg/kg mRNA-3927 group at Days 8) were quantified by LC-MS/MS. Dotted lines represent dose administrations. 2-MC 2-methylcitrate, 3-HP 3-hydroxypropionate, C3/C2 ratio of propionylcarnitine to acetylcarnitine, hPCCA human propionyl-coenzyme A carboxylase α subunit, hPCCB human propionyl- coenzyme A carboxylase β subunit, IV intravenous, LC-MS/MS liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, mRNA messenger RNA, PCC propionyl- coenzyme A carboxylase, SD standard deviation.
