摘要:
The present disclosure relates to antisense oligomers and related compositions and methods for increasing the expression of functional human type VII collagen and methods for treating dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa and related disorders and relates to inducing exclusion of exon 80 in human type VII collagen mRNA.
摘要:
The present disclosure relates to RNA amidates and thioamidates useful for RNA interference applications. The RNA amidates and thioamidates contain at least one internucleoside linkage chosen from ribo-N3′→P5′ phosphoramidate (NP) and ribo-N3′→P5′ thiophosphoramidate (NPS) linkages, and optionally further containing at least one covalently conjugated lipid moiety. Compositions comprising the amidates and thioamidates are disclosed, as are methods for their use in modulating gene expression.
摘要:
Provided herein are compositions, method and uses for modulating IAP activity or for the treatment of cancer. The compositions comprise dual-targeting antisense oligonucleotides (dASO) for administration to a cancer cell, wherein the cancer cell may be characterized by elevated expression of one of more of BIRC6, cIAP1 or survivin. The cancer may be selected from one or more of: prostate cancer; childhood de novo acute myeloid leukemia; colorectal cancer; neuroblastoma; melanoma; and non-small cell lung cancer. The prostate cancer may be castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC).
摘要:
A method and compound for treating skeletal muscle mass deficiency in a human subject are disclosed. The composition is an oligomer of morpholino subunits and phosphorus-containing intersubunit linkages joining a morpholino nitrogen of one subunit to a 5′ exocyclic carbon of an adjacent subunit, contains between 10-40 nucleotide bases, has a base sequence effective to hybridize to an expression-sensitive region of processed or preprocessed human myostatin RNA transcript, identified, in its processed form, by SEQ ID NO:6, and is capable of uptake by target muscle cells in the subject. In practicing the method, the compound is administered in an amount and at a dosage schedule to produce an overall reduction in the level of serum myostatin measured in the patient, and preferably to bring the myostatin level within the a range determined for normal, healthy individuals.
摘要:
Antisense compositions targeted against an mRNA sequence coding for a selected protein, at a region having its 5′ end from 1 to about 25 base pairs downstream of a normal splice acceptor junction in the preprocessed mRNA, are disclosed. The antisense compound is RNase-inactive, and is preferably a phosphorodiamidate-linked morpholino oligonucleotide. Such targeting is effective to inhibit natural mRNA splice processing, produce splice variant mRNAs, and inhibit normal expression of the protein.
摘要:
Provided herein are methods for reducing neoplastic progenitor cell proliferation and alleviating symptoms associated in individuals diagnosed with or thought to have myeloproliferative disorders, such as Essential Thrombocythemia (ET). Also provided herein are methods for using telomerase inhibitors for maintaining blood platelet counts at relatively normal ranges in the blood of individuals diagnosed with or suspected of having myeloproliferative disorders, such as ET.

摘要:
A method and antisense compound for inhibiting the growth of pathogenic bacterial cells are disclosed. The compound contains no more than 12 nucleotide bases and has a targeting nucleic acid sequence of no fewer than 10 bases in length that is complementary to a target sequence containing or within 10 bases, in a downstream direction, of the translational start codon of a bacterial mRNA that encodes a bacterial protein essential for bacterial replication. The compound binds to a target mRNA with a Tm of between 50° to 60° C. The relatively short antisense compounds are substantially more active than conventional antisense compounds having a targeting base sequence of 15 or more bases.
