Comprehensive results of in vitro activity of gapmers designed to APP RNA 717 target (APP London variant). (A) Target APP mRNA sequence containing site of G-to-A (RNA717) SNP and designed to it antisense gapmers. SNP in RNA strand is bolded and underlined, codon in which it occurs is marked by red frame. Modified nucleotides within gapmers are marked by colours: blue-LNA, green-2′-O-MeRNA, bolded black- DNA, red-mismatched nucleotides, underlined-SNP site. (B) RNase H in vitro assay results for APP RNA717 target, showing the influence of arrangements of mismatched nucleotides in 13 nt-long RNA/ASO duplexes on RNase H cleavage. Blue frames mark gapmers which cause preferential cleavage of Mut RNA. Red frames mark gapmer which cause preferential cleavage of WT RNA. (C) Thermodynamic parameters of APP 717 wild type and mutant RNA/gapmer duplexes containing mismatches. Oligonucleotides, which differentiated two alleles cleavage yields in RNase H assay were only measured. Parameters for more stable duplex of the two (wild type/ASO or mutant/ASO) are bolded.
