摘要:
The present invention relates to the use of a specific inhibitor of Smad7 expression or function for the preparation of a pharmaceutical composition for the prevention, amelioration or treatment of a disease of the central nervous system and/or diseases related and/or caused by said disease of the central nervous system. Furthermore, methods for preventing, ameliorating and/or treating such diseases are disclosed.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a double-stranded ribonucleic acid (dsRNA) having a nucleotide sequence which is substantially identical to at least a part of a target gene and which is no more than 49, preferably less than 25, nucleotides in length, and which comprises a complementary (antisense) RNA strand having a 1 to 4 nucleotide overhang at the 3′-end and a blunt 5′-end. The invention further relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising the dsRNA and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The pharmaceutical compositions are useful for inhibiting the expression of a target gene, as well as for treating diseases caused by expression of the target gene, at low dosages (i.e., less than 5 milligrams, preferably less than 25 micrograms, per kg body weight per day). The invention also relates to methods for inhibiting the expression of a target gene, as well as methods for treating diseases caused by the expression of the gene.
摘要:
Specific inhibition of expression of a fusion gene in mammals occurs using a short, double-stranded ribonucleic acid molecule (dsRNA). The dsRNA comprises two separate non-linked RNA strands, an 51 strand and a complementary strand. The strands are 20 to 23 nucleotides in length, and the 51 strand is complementary to the fusion junction of the AML-1/MTG-8 fusion gene. The dsRNA also comprises at least 3 nucleotides on each side of the fusion junction. The dsRNA can be introduced into and maintained in a mammalian cell under conditions and for a time sufficient to obtain degradation of mRNA of the fusion gene to inhibit expression of the fusion gene. The dsRNAs and methods described are useful for treating diseases caused by chromosomal aberrations, particularly malignant diseases such as lymphoma and leukemia.
摘要:
The invention relates to an isolated RNA that mediates RNA interference of an mRNA to which it corresponds and a method of mediating RNA interference of mRNA of a gene in a cell or organism using the isolated RNA.
摘要:
The present invention provides methods and compositions for inhibiting gene expression using double stranded RNA molecules that are between 15 and 21 nucleotides in length and are complementary to a target gene sequence.
