The next generation of miRNA modulators: new mirVana™ miRNA mimics and inhibitors Dr. Amy Lam Field Application Scientist Noncoding RNAs?? Noncoding transcripts Regulatory ncRNAs miRNA (microRNA) piRNA (piwi-interacting RNA) Housekeeping ncRNAs snoRNAs tRNA (transfer RNA) rRNA (ribosomal RNA) snRNA (small nuclear RNA) siRNA (small interfering RNA) tmRNA (small nuclear RNA) rasiRNA (repeat-associated siRNA ) RNase P RNA eRNA (efference RNA ) gRNA (guide RNA) pRNA (promoter RNA ) MRP RNA (mitochondrial RNA processing RNA) scaRNA (small Cajal body specific RNA) long ncRNA (Xist etc.) vRNA (viral RNA) SRP RNA (signal recognition particle RNA) Telomerase RNA Noncoding RNAs may contribute to the complex networks that regulate cell function and could be the answer to the genome complexity. 2 6/4/2012 | Life Technologies™ Proprietary and confidential Mechanism of RNAi: Natural mechanism: siRNA: mediates degradation (knockdown) of a target mRNA molecule in a sequencespecific manner. miRNA: very similar, but typically suppress translation without cleavage 1000 miRNAs, target and regulate about 50% of mammalian genes Complicated & poorly understood 3 6/4/2012 | Life Technologies™ Proprietary and confidential microRNA miRNA Functions • Development (cell fate) • Cell death (apoptosis) • Epigenetics Human Disease • Diagnostic markers • Therapeutic targets • Therapeutic agents *mature active strand 4 6/4/2012 | Life Technologies™ Proprietary and confidential Strong Links to Cancer MicroRNAs Act Both as Oncogenes & Tumor Suppressors vector mir-34a mir-34b/c 5 Tumor Suppressor: miR-34 Oncogene: miR-19-92 He (2007) Nature He (2005) Nature 6/4/2012 | Life Technologies™ Proprietary and confidential What Are My Customers Asking? 6 6/4/2012 | Life Technologies™ Proprietary and confidential Life Has Small RNA Researchers Covered Biological Which miRNAs Question are expressed?

These molecules are not processed by RISC machinery, they don’t have any loops or additional bases. Antisense oligonucleotides bind and inhibit miRNAs mirVana™ miRNA inhibitors These are single‐stranded oligonucleotides with chemical modifications, that irreversibly bind and inactivate the natural miRNA. 8 6/4/2012 | Life Technologies™ Proprietary and confidential mirVana™ miRNA Mimics and Inhibitors Potency Specificity Stability In Vivo 9 6/4/2012 | Life Technologies™ Proprietary and confidential mirVana™ miRNA Inhibitors Enhanced Potency 10 6/4/2012 | Life Technologies™ Proprietary and confidential mirVana™ miRNA mimic mature strand is highly potent while “star” strand is inactivated Mature miRNA (Guide) strand Star (Passenger) strand miRNA Luc Luc miRNA Target Reverse Target 1.200 1.400 1.000 1.200 1.000 Fold Change Fold Change 0.800 0.600 0.800 0.600 0.400 0.400 0.200 0.200 0.000 0.000 miRNA miRNA miRNA miRNA miRNA miRNA mimic 1 mimic 2 mimic 3 mimic 4 mimic 5 mimic 6 11 Neg miRNA miRNA miRNA miRNA miRNA miRNA mimic 1 mimic 2 mimic 3 mimic 4 mimic 5 mimic 6 Neg 6/4/2012 | Life Technologies™ Proprietary and confidential mirVana™ Mimics: Highly functional in reporter assays 12 6/4/2012 | Life Technologies™ Proprietary and confidential mirVana™ miR1 mimic: Significant down-regulation of PTK9 mRNA target 13 6/4/2012 | Life Technologies™ Proprietary and confidential 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 3 nM mir19a 14 miR23a Let7c Let7a neg inhibitor neg inhibitor neg inhibitor neg inhibitor neg 0.3 nM inhibitor Fold change mirVana™ miRNA inhibitors display high functionality in reporter assays miR21 6/4/2012 | Life Technologies™ Proprietary and confidential mirVana™ Inhibitors: More potent than lead competitors Remaining free miRNA – small RNA TaqMan assays 15 6/4/2012 | Life Technologies™ Proprietary and confidential mirVana™ miRNA Mimics and Inhibitors Potency Specificity Stability In Vivo 16 6/4/2012 | Life Technologies™ Proprietary and confidential mirVana™ miRNA mimics Enhanced Specificity 17 6/4/2012 | Life Technologies™ Proprietary and confidential mirVana™ Mimics Strand Specificity: Active mature strand/inactivated star strand 18 6/4/2012 | Life Technologies™ Proprietary and confidential mirVana™ Inhibitors: Target specific 3nM 19 6/4/2012 | Life Technologies™ Proprietary and confidential mirVana™ miRNA Mimics and Inhibitors Potency Specificity Stability In Vivo 20 6/4/2012 | Life Technologies™ Proprietary and confidential mirVana™ mimic Stability: Over 1 week at +37ºC Over40 freeze/thaw cycles Integrity was also confirmed by HPLC Inhibitors also tested for stablity at +37C and freeze/thaw cycles 21 6/4/2012 | Life Technologies™ Proprietary and confidential mirVana™ miRNA inhibitors are stable for 1 year at +4ºC 8 3nM 7 0.3nM Fold Change 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 inhibitor 1 year inhibitor 2 months inhibitor 1 week Neg Real-time stability data. miR-23a inhibitors, 3 batches: synthesized 1 yr, 2 mo and 1 wk before test.
