摘要:
The invention relates to the fields of screening assays, compounds, and methods for altering gene expression and protein levels. In particular, the invention includes assays to screen for agents capable of modulating gene expression in a UTR-dependent manner and agents capable of modulating gene expression.
摘要:
In accordance with the present invention, methods for inhibiting the translation of VEGF and methods for decreasing VEGF level by inhibiting VEGF translation are provided. In another aspect of the invention, compounds that inhibit the 5′-UTR-dependent translation of VEGF and methods for identifying such compounds are provided.

摘要:
The present invention provides compounds and assays for the identification and validation of compounds for use in the treatment of muscular dystrophy (MD), or a form thereof, in which said compounds increase the post-transcriptional expression of a target gene (i.e., mIGF1, ITGA7, or UTRN).
摘要:
The present invention provides nucleic acid constructs, methods for identifying and validating compounds that increase the inclusion of exon 7 of SMN2 into mRNA transcribed from the SMN2 gene, compounds and pharmaceutical compositions that increase levels of SMN protein produced from the SMN2 gene, and methods for use thereof in treating of SMA.
