摘要:
Compositions and methods for the treatment and diagnosis of diseases or disorders amenable to treatment through modulation of expression of a gene encoding a Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK protein) are provided. Oligonucleotide are herein provided which are specifically hybridizable with nucleic acids encoding JNK1, JNK2 and JNK3, as well as other JNK proteins and specific isoforms thereof. Methods of treating animals suffering from diseases or disorders amenable to therapeutic intervention by modulating the expression of one or more JNK proteins with such oligonucleotide are also provided. Methods for the treatment and diagnosis of diseases or disorders associated with aberrant expression of one or more JNK proteins are also provided. Methods for inducing apoptosis and for treating diseases or conditions associated with a reduction in apoptosis are also provided.

Compositions and methods are provided for the treatment and diagnosis of diseases associated with protein kinase C. Oligonucleotides are provided which are targeted to nucleic acids encoding PKC. Oligonucleotides specifically hybridizable with a translation initiation site, 5'-untranslated region or 3'-untranslated region are provided. Oligonucleotides specifically hybridizable with a particular PKC isozyme or set of isozymes are also provided. In preferred embodiments, the oligonucleotides contain one or more chemical modifications. Methods of modulating PKC expression and of treating animals suffering from disease amenable to therapeutic intervention by modulating protein kinase C expression using oligonucleotides targeted to PKC are disclosed.

The present invention provides compositions and methods for modulating the expression of growth factor gene. In particular, this invention relates to compounds, particularly oligonucleotide compounds, which, in preferred embodiments, hybridize with nucleic acid molecules encoding the Insulin Like Growth Factor I receptor (IGF-I receptor or IGF-IR) and in particular human IGF-IR. Such compounds are exemplified herein to modulate proliferation which is relevant to the treatment of proliferative and inflammatory skin disorders and cancer. It will be understood, however, that the compounds can be used for any other condition in which the IGF-IR is involved including inflammatory conditions.

Antisense compounds, compositions and methods are provided for modulating the expression of MyD88. The compositions comprise antisense compounds, particularly antisense oligonucleotides, targeted to nucleic acids encoding MyD88. Methods of using these compounds for modulation of MyD88 expression and for treatment of diseases associated with expression of MyD88 are provided.
摘要:
Antisene oligonucleotides targeted to sequences in thymidylate synthase (TS) mRNA. In particular the invention relates to antisense oligonucleotides targeted to sequences in the 3′ end of TS mRNA, which are both cytostatic on their own when administered to human tumour cell lines, and which also enhance the toxicity of anticancer drugs such as Tomudex. The invention also relates to antisense oligonucleotides targeted to sequences at or near the translation start site at the 5′ end of TS mRNA which induce TS gene transcription and enhance cell growth. The invention further relates to a combination product comprising an antisense oligonucleotide in combination with an anticancer agent such as Tomudex (N-(5[N-3,4-dihydro-2-methyl-4-oxoquinazolin-6-ylmethyl)-N-methylamino]-2-thenoyl)-L-glutamic acid) or the Zeneca development compound ZD 9331 ((S)-2-(2-fluoro-4-[N-(4-hydroxy-2,7-dimethylquinazolin-6-ylmethyl)-N-(prop-2-ynyl)amino] benzamido-4-(1H-1,2,3,4-tetrazol-5-yl) butyric acid), and to the use of such a combination product in the treatment of cancer.
