Overview

IL-17A-TSB (also known as TSB17) is a preclinical-stage mRNA-targeted oligonucleotide (TargetSite Blocker or TSB) developed by TargetSite Therapeutics, a Yale University spinout. It is designed to selectively destabilize human IL-17A mRNA by blocking the interaction of microRNA-466 (specifically miR-466l-3p) with the 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) of IL-17A mRNA. Under normal inflammatory conditions, miR-466 acts non-conventionally to stabilize IL-17A transcripts in coordination with the RNA-binding protein HuR (human antigen R). By preventing miR-466 binding, IL-17A-TSB disrupts this stabilizing cooperation, leading to rapid transcript decay and suppression of IL-17A protein expression. The therapeutic candidate has demonstrated efficacy in preclinical animal models of multiple sclerosis (experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, or EAE), psoriasis, and autoimmune uveitis.
