摘要:
Methods are provided for decreasing the rate or inhibiting neoplastic cell proliferation by reducing or inhibiting histone H4 gene expression or histone H4 activity. Also provided are methods of treating a patient with a neoplastic disease, and compositions useful for treating a cancer patient, including, for example, a composition containing small interfering RNA molecules that reduce or inhibit histone H4 expression in a cell or a composition containing a pyrrole-imidazole polyamide operatively linked to a chemotherapeutic molecule.
摘要:
The invention provides polyamides which bind genes having expanded oligonucleotide repeat sequences, which binding modulates transcription. The invention further provides methods of modulation of the transcription of such genes, and the use of polyamides as therapeutic agents to treat diseases associated with such genes.
