摘要:
The invention relates to siRNA compounds comprising one non-nucleotide moiety covalently attached to at least one of the sense or antisense strands to down-regulate the expression of human genes. The invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and to methods of treating and/or preventing the incidence or severity of various diseases or conditions associated with the target genes and/or symptoms associated with such diseases or conditions.
摘要:
The present invention relates to non-invasive methods for treating diseases, disorders and injury to the central nervous system (CNS), and in particular to otic compositions and to methods of use thereof.
摘要:
The invention relates to a double-stranded compound, preferably an oligoribonucleotide, which down-regulates the expression of a human p53 gene. The invention also relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising the compound, or a vector capable of expressing the oligoribonucleotide compound, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The present invention also contemplates a method of treating a patient suffering from alopecia or acute renal failure or other diseases comprising administering to the patient the pharmaceutical composition in a therapeutically effective dose so as to thereby treat the patient. The alopecia may be induced by chemotherapy or radiotherapy, and the patient may be suffering from cancer, in particular breast cancer.
摘要:
The present application relates to double stranded oligonucleotide inhibitors of target genes, pharmaceutical compositions comprising same and the use of such molecules to treat, inter alia, neurodegenerative disorders including Alzheimer's disease and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, eye diseases including glaucoma and ION, acute renal failure, hearing loss, acute respiratory distress syndrome and in preventing or treating ischemia-reperfusion injury in organ transplant patients.
摘要:
RTP801 represents a unique gene target for hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1). Down-regulation of the mTOR pathway activity by hypoxia requires de novo mRNA synthesis and correlates with increased expression of RTP801.The present invention relates to screening systems utilizing RTP801 and/or RTP801 interactors to and/or RTP801 biological activity, to drug candidates identified by such screening systems, and to the use of such drug candidates in the treatment of various disorders.
摘要:
The invention provides novel double stranded oligoribonucleotides that inhibit the Nrf2 gene. The invention also provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising one or more such oligoribonucleotides, and a vector capable of expressing the oligoribonucleotide. The present invention also relates to methods and compositions for treating or preventing the incidence or severity of a cancerous disease, particularly various lung cancers.
摘要:
The invention relates to a double-stranded compound, preferably an oligoribonucleotide (siRNA), which down-regulates the expression of a human TGaseII gene at the post-transcriptional level. The invention also relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising the compound, or a vector capable of expressing the oligoribonucleotide compound, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The present invention also contemplates a method of treating a patient suffering from a fibrotic disease such as pulmonary, kidney and liver fibrosis or ocular, scarring comprising administering to the patient the pharmaceutical composition in a therapeutically effective dose so as to thereby treat the patient. The invention also relates to treatment of fibrotic and other diseases by use of antibodies to TGaseII polypeptide.
摘要:
Provided herein are compositions, methods and kits for modulating expression of target genes, particularly heat shock protein 47 (hsp47). The compositions, methods and kits may include nucleic acid molecules (for example, short interfering nucleic acid (siNA), short interfering RNA (siRNA), double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), micro-RNA (miRNA) or short hairpin RNA (shRNA)) that modulate a gene encoding hsp47, for example, the gene encoding human hsp47. The composition and methods disclosed herein may also be used in treating conditions and disorders associated with hsp47 such as liver fibrosis, pulmonary fibrosis, peritoneal fibrosis and kidney fibrosis.
