In vivo knockdown of single strand versus duplex siRNA demonstrates ssRNAi activity in vivo. RNAs formulated in a lipid nanoparticle (LNP) delivery vehicle. Modified guide strands (2'F) are compared to unmodified (2'OH). All oligos contain 5' phosphorylation. Comparison of Day 3 ApoB mRNA knockdown after an LNP delivered 3 mg/kg dose of dsRNA or ssRNA for target sites (A) ApoB (8786) and (B) ApoB (6981). Knockdown of 60–75% was observed for phosphorylated single strands containing 2'F modifications. Duration of mRNA knockdown after an LNP delivered 6 mg/kg dose was measured over 2 weeks (Day 2, Day 7, Day 14 time points) for (C) ApoB (8786) and (D) ApoB (6981). Knockdown values shown in Supplementary Table S2.
