Abstract:
The disclosure provides compositions and methods for treating an ovarian cancer in a subject. More specifically, the disclosure provides microRNA (miRNA) inhibitor molecules that target to different miRNAs for treating different types of ovarian cancers in a subject. Furthermore, different modifications of miRNA inhibitor molecules as well as different derivatives of miRNA inhibitor molecules are also described.
Abstract:
Provided herein are methods for the treatment of liver cancer. These methods encompass the administration of a compound comprising a modified oligonucleotide, wherein the modified oligonucleotide is targeted to a miRNA. Also provided herein are compositions for the treatment of liver cancer. Such compositions include compounds comprising a modified oligonucleotide, wherein the modified oligonucleotide is targeted to a miRNA. Certain miRNAs have been identified as overexpressed in liver cancer, such as, for example, hepatocellular carcinoma, and are thus selected for targeting by modified oligonucleotides. Further, certain miRNAs have been identified as overexpressed in hepatocellular carcinoma cells exposed to dioxin, and are thus selected for targeting by modified oligonucleotides. Antisense inhibition of certain of these miRNAs has been found to inhibit cell proliferation and induce apoptosis.
