Polynucleotide decoys that ihnibit mhc-ii expression and uses thereof |
| abstract |
The invention is directed to a newly discovered class of polynucleotide decoys that is capable of competitively inhibiting the binding of transcription factors to the X-box sequence. This binding is necessary for the expression of MHC-II genes. The invention is also directed to methods of preparing these polynucleotide decoys, and methods of use thereof. In particular, we have identified a class of polynucleotide decoys that mimic the X-Box of MHC-II and competitively bind the MHC-II transcription factor RF-X, resulting in the modulation of MHC-II antigen expression. Thus, the invention can be used to inhibit the expression of HLA molecules on the surface of donor cells or organs, in order to render them invisible to the host's immune system, or in methods of treating an individual with an autoimmune disease characterized by dysfunctional expression of an MHC class II antigen. Further, because of the role of RF-X in the expression of several viral proteins, the polynucleotide decoys of the invention can be used in methods of treating an individual infected with hepatitis B virus, or cytomegalovirus. |
