摘要:
Compositions and methods for treating diseases, such as cancers. The compositions are effective to silence, down-regulate or suppress the expression of a validated target gene by stimulating the process of RNA interference of gene expression, thus inhibiting tumor growth. The invention also provides methods for treating diseases, such as cancers, by inactivation of a validated target gene product, using neutralizing antibody or small molecule drug, to inhibit tumor growth. More particularly, the compositions and methods are directed toward a cancer or a precancerous growth in a mammal, associated with pathological expression of a certain target genes identified herein. The compositions inhibit expression of the target gene when introduced into a tissue of the mammal. The methods include administering the compositions of the invention to a subject in need thereof in an amount effective to inhibit expression of a target gene in a cancerous tissue or organ.
摘要:
The present invention provides nucleic acid molecules that modulate the expression of molecules in the angiopoietin/Tie2 signaling pathway. Methods of using the nucleic acid molecules are also provided.
摘要:
The present invention provides nucleic acid molecules that inhibit STAT3 expression. Methods of using the nucleic acid molecules are also provided.
摘要:
Compositions and methods are provided for treatment of diseases involving unwanted neovascularization (NV). The invention provides treatments that control NV through selective inhibition of pro-angiogenic biochemical pathways, including inhibition of the VEGF pathway gene expression and inhibition localized at pathological NV tissues. Tissue targeted nanoparticle compositions comprising polymer conjugates and nucleic acid molecules that induce RNA interference (RNAi) are provided. The nanoparticle compositions of the invention can be used alone or in combination with other therapeutic agents such as VEGF pathway antagonists. The compositions and methods can be used for the treatment of NV diseases such as cancer, ocular disease, arthritis, and inflammatory diseases.
