摘要:
Antisense compounds, compositions and methods are provided for modulating the expression of E2F transcription factor 1. The compositions comprise antisense compounds, particularly antisense oligonucleotides, targeted to nucleic acids encoding E2F transcription factor 1. Methods of using these compounds for modulation of E2F transcription factor 1 expression and for treatment of diseases associated with expression of E2F transcription factor 1 are provided.
摘要:
Modified oligonucleotides having a conserved G4 sequence and a sufficient number of flanking nucleotides to significantly inhibit the activity of a virus such as HSV-1 or phospholipase A2 or to modulate the telomere length of a chromosome are provided. G4 quartet oligonucleotide structures are also provided. Methods of prophylaxis, diagnostics and therapeutics for viral-associated diseases and diseases associated with elevated levels of phospholipase A2 are also provided. Methods of modulating telomere length of a chromosome are also provided; modulation of telomere length is believed to play a role in the aging process of a cell and in control of malignant cell growth.

摘要:
Compositions and methods are provided for the treatment and diagnosis of herpesvirus infections. In accordance with preferred embodiments, oligonucleotides are provided which are specifically hybridizable with RNA or DNA deriving from a herpesvirus gene corresponding to one of the open reading frames UL5, UL8, UL9, UL20, UL27, UL29, UL30, UL42, UL52 and IE175 of herpes simplex virus type 1. The oligonucleotide comprises nucleotide units sufficient in identity and number to effect said specific hybridization. In other preferred embodiments, the oligonucleotides are specifically hybridizable with a translation initiation site, a coding region or a 5'-untranslated region. Methods of treating animals suspected of being infected with herpesvirus comprising contacting the animal with an oligonucleotide of the invention are disclosed. Methods for treatment of infections caused by herpes simplex virus type 1, herpes simplex virus type 2, cytomegalovirus, human herpes virus 6, Epstein Barr virus or varicella zoster virus are disclosed.
