摘要:
The invention relates to an in vitro method for identifying the sequence of one or more poly(A)+RNA molecules that physically interacts with protein. The present invention provides a method to define the protein-bound transcriptome under any given cellular condition, such as a disease condition or after treatment with any given substance, drug, or other cellular perturbation. The invention also relates to a method for identification of a drug target and a method for the identification of one or more biomarkers, preferably for identification of a panel of biomarkers, for any given medical condition, comprising the method of the invention.
摘要:
The current invention provides new compounds for treating, delaying and/or preventing a human genetic disorder such as myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1), spino-cerebellar ataxia 8 and/or Huntington's disease-like 2 caused by expansions of CUG repeats in the transcripts of DM1/DMPK, SCA8 or JPH3 genes.
摘要:
The invention relates to the use of nucleotide substitutes for increasing the in vivo efficacy of nucleic acid molecules and also for inhibiting inflammation in mammals. More particularly, the present invention relates to the use of 2'6'diaminopurine (DAP) and analogs thereof per se in anti-inflammatory compositions, and also for preparing nucleic acid molecules having an increased in vivo physiological efficiency and a reduced toxicity as compared to conventional oligos. The invention is particularly useful for the preparation of antisense oligonucleotides for treating pulmonary/respiratory diseases such as cystic fibrosis, asthma, chronic bronchitis, chronic obstructive lung disease, eosinophilic bronchitis, allergies, allergic rhinitis, pulmonary fibrosis, adult respiratory distress syndrome, sinusitis, respiratory syncytial virus or other viral respiratory tract infection and cancer.
摘要:
This invention relates to compounds, compositions, and methods useful for modulating HCVgene expression using short interfering nucleic acid (siNA) molecules. This invention also relates to compounds, compositions, and methods useful for modulating the expression and activity of other genes involved in pathways of HCV gene expression and/or activity by RNA interference (RNAi) using small nucleic acid molecules. In particular, the instant invention features small nucleic acid molecules, such as short interfering nucleic acid (siNA), short interfering RNA (siRNA), double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), micro-RNA (miRNA), and short hairpin RNA (shRNA) molecules and methods used to modulate the expression of HCV genes.
摘要:
Compositions and methods are provided for the treatment and diagnosis of diseases amenable to modulation of the production of selected proteins. In accordance with preferred embodiments, oligonucleotides and oligonucleotide analogs are provided which are specifically hybridizable with a selected sequence of RNA or DNA wherein at least one of the 2'-deoxyfuranosyl moieties of the nucleoside unit is modified. Treatment of HIV, herpes virus, papillomavirus and other infections is provided.
摘要:
The invention provides immunomodulatory polynucleotides and methods for immunomodulation of individuals using the immunomodulatory polynucleotides.
摘要:
Disclosed are processes for deprotecting and/or purifying chemically synthesised RNAs, especially enzymatic nucleic acids or antisense oligonucleotides, having one or more chemical modifications.
摘要:
Compositions and methods for modulating the activity of RNA and DNA are disclosed. In accordance with preferred embodiments, antisense compositions are prepared comprising targeting and reactive portions. Reactive portions which act, alternatively, through phosphorodiester bond cleavage, through backbone sugar bond cleavage or through base modification are preferably employed. Groups which improve the pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic properties of the oligonucleotides are also useful in accordance with certain embodiments of this invention. Delivery of the reactive or non-reactive functionalities into the minor groove formed by the hybridization of the composition with the target RNA is also preferably accomplished. Therapeutics, diagnostics and research methods are also disclosed. Synthetic nucleosides and nucleoside fragments are also provided useful for elaboration of oligonucleotides and oligonucleotide analogs for such purposes.
