摘要:
Compositions comprising oligonucleotides which are specifically hybridizable with nucleic acids encoding cellular adhesion molecules intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) and endothelial leukocyte adhesion molecule-1 (ELAM-1) are disclosed. A series of double stranded RNA molecules targeting human ICAM-1 were designed and inhibition of RNA was measured. Oligonucleotides targeted to ICAM were effective in reducing airway hyperresponsiveness in mouse and monkey asthma models.

摘要:
The present invention provides methods of modulating the shedding of L-selectin in cells or tissues using an inhibitor of TACE expression or activity. Antisense oligonucleotides targeted to nucleic acids encoding TACE are preferred forms of TACE inhibitors. These methods are believed to be useful both therapeutically and diagnostically and as research tools. The present invention further comprises methods of treating conditions associated with altered L-selectin shedding or altered L-selectin levels.
