摘要:
The invention provides siRNA compositions that interfere with viral replication in respiratory viral infections, including respiratory syncytial virus and avian influenza A, including the H5N1 strain. The invention further provides uses of the siRNA compositions to inhibit expression of viral genes in respiratory virus-infected cells, and to uses in the treatment of respiratory virus infections in a subject. Generally the invention provides polynucleotide that includes a first nucleotide sequence of 15 to 30 bases that targets the genome of a respiratory syncytial virus or an influenza A virus, a complement thereof, a double stranded polynucleotide or a hairpin polynucleotide. Additionally the invention provides vectors, cells and pharmaceutical compositions containing siRNA sequences.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to small interfering RNA molecules targeted against a gene of interest in respiratory epithelial cells, and methods of using these RNA molecules.
摘要:
Provided is a method of treating cancer in a subject by inhibiting expression of PAX2. An example of a cancer treated by the present method is prostate cancer. Similarly, provided is a method of treating cancer in a subject by increasing expression of DEFBl in the subject. In the method wherein the expression of DEFBl is increased, it can be increased by blocking the binding of PAX2 to the DEFBl promoter. Blocking the binding of PAX2 to the DEFBl promoter can be by administration of an oligonucleotide containing the PAX2 DNA binding site of DEFBl. This oligonucleotide can be complementary to the sequence of PAX2 that binds to the DEFBl promoter. Alternatively, the oligonucleotide can interact with the PAX2 in a way that inhibits binding to DEFBl.
摘要:
A method of treating a disease associated with a cell population which proliferates abnormally in a subject is disclosed. The method comprises administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of at least one modulator capable of modulating in the cell population a level and/or activity of a polypeptide having an amino acid sequence at least 60 percent similar to SEQ ID NO: 5, as determined using the Standard protein-protein BLAST [blastp] software of the NCBI.

In another embodiment, the invention relates to isolated single stranded DNA virus microRNA molecules and anti-DNA virus microRNA molecules. In a further embodiment, the invention relates to an isolated microRNP. The invention further provides methods for inhibiting microRNA activity in a cell.
摘要:
The present invention relates to DEK protein compositions (e.g., antibodies, small molecule inhibitors, siRNAs) and methods of using the same. In particular, the present invention provides compositions and methods for treating autoimmune disease (e.g., juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, etc.) and for inhibiting inflammation (e.g., associated with autoimmune disease) and cellular chemotaxis (e.g., of neutrophils, NK cells and T cells). The present invention further provides a diagnostic marker (e.g., DEK antigen) for autoimmune disease.
摘要:
Provided is a method of treating cancer in a subject by inhibiting expression of PAX2. An example of a cancer treated by the present method is prostate cancer. In the cancer treatment methods disclosed, the method of inhibiting expression of PAX 2 can be by administration of a nucleic acid encoding an siRNA for PAX 2. Dharmachon is a commercial source for such siRNAs. A method of treating cancer in a subject by administering DEFBl is also provided. An example of a cancer treated by the present method is prostate cancer. Similarly, provided is a method of treating cancer in a subject by increasing expression of DEFBl in the subject. In the method wherein the expression of DEFBl is increased, it can be increased by blocking the binding of PAX2 to the DEFBl promoter. The blocking of binding of PAX2 to the DEFBl promoter can be by administration of an oligonucleotide containing the PAX2 DNA binding site of DEFBl. This oligonucleotide can be complementary to the sequence of PAX2 that binds to the DEFBl promoter. Alternatively, the oligonucleotide can interact with the PAX2 in a way that inhibits binding to DEFBl. This interaction can be based on three-dimensional structure rather than primary nucleotide sequence.
