For separation of nuclei and cytosol, cells were scraped in a buffer containing 100 mM NaCl, 300 mM sucrose, 3 mM MgCl2, 50 mM Hepes, pH 7.0, 1 mM EGTA, and 0.2% Triton X-100 supplemented with protease inhibitors and 50 mM N-ethylmaleimide. Cells were lysed for 10 min, and nuclei were pelleted by centrifugation for 5 min at 1,000 g. The supernatant is the cytosolic fraction; nuclei were resuspended in a buffer containing 50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, and 0.1% SDS supplemented with 50 mM N-ethylmaleimide and sonicated on ice to disrupt DNA.

Antibody siRNA Conjugate Synthesis Using Bis-Maleimide (BisMal) Linker
Step 1: Antibody Reduction with TCEP
Antibody was buffer exchanged with 25 mM borate buffer (pH 8) with 1 mM DTPA and made up to 10 mg/ml concentration. To this solution, 4 equivalents of TCEP in the same borate buffer were added and incubated for 2 hours at 37° C. The resultant reaction mixture was combined with a solution of BisMal-siRNA (1.25 equivalents) in pH 6.0 10 mM acetate buffer at RT and kept at 4° C. overnight. Analysis of the reaction mixture by analytical SAX column chromatography showed antibody siRNA conjugate along with unreacted antibody and siRNA. The reaction mixture was treated with 10 EQ of N-ethylmaleimide (in DMSO at 10 mg/mL) to cap any remaining free cysteine residues.
Step 2: Purification
The crude reaction mixture was purified by AKTA Pure FPLC using anion exchange chromatography (SAX) method-1. Fractions containing DAR1 and DAR2 antibody-siRNA conjugates were isolated, concentrated and buffer exchanged with pH 7.4 PBS.

Step-3: Analysis of the Purified Conjugate
The purity of the conjugate was assessed by analytical HPLC using anion exchange chromatography method-2 (Table 22).
In Vivo Study Design
The conjugates were assessed for their ability to mediate mRNA downregulation of Atrogin-1 in muscle (gastroc) in the presence and absence of muscle atrophy, in an in vivo experiment (C57BL6 mice). Mice were dosed via intravenous (iv) injection with PBS vehicle control and the indicated ASCs and doses, see
Quantitation of tissue siRNA concentrations was determined using a stem-loop qPCR assay as described in the methods section. The antisense strand of the siRNA was reverse transcribed using a TaqMan MicroRNA reverse transcription kit using a sequence-specific stem-loop RT primer. The cDNA from the RT step was then utilized for real-time PCR and Ct values were transformed into plasma or tissue concentrations using the linear equations derived from the standard curves.

Conclusions
In this example, it was demonstrated that a TfR1-Atrogin-1 conjugates, after in vivo delivery, mediated specific down regulation of the target gene in gastroc muscle in a dose dependent manner. After induction of atrophy the conjugate was able to mediate disease induce mRNA expression levels of Atrogin-1 at the higher doses. Higher RISC loading of the Atrogin-1 guide strand correlated with increased mRNA downregulation.
