摘要:
Methods for controlling obesity using minimally-invasive procedures including introducing embolic crystal particles that are naturally occurring and mostly non-toxic salts into the arterial capillaries feeding the sections of the stomach where the appetite inducing hormone, ghrelin, is produced to limit the blood flow to the region reducing appetite; introducing a virus vector or antisense oligonucleotide to inhibit the production of ghrelin and reduce the appetite; and introducing a soluble embolic particle with a virus vector or antisense oligonucleotide which will inhibit the flow of blood initially and then dissolve and release the inhibit vector to the region, generating ghrelin to control the appetite.
摘要:
Improved DNA vaccine plasmids are disclosed that contain novel immunostimulatory RNA compositions. The improved plasmids eliminate all extraneous sequences, incorporate a novel antibiotic free short RNA based selectable marker, increase eukaryotic expression using a novel chimeric promoter, improve yield and stability during bacterial production, and improve immunostimulation. These vectors are utilized in immunization to elicit improved immune responses or therapy to induce type 1 interferon production.
摘要:
The present invention relates to treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (e.g., Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis) using antisense nucleotides that are directed against polymorphic forms (e.g., those containing single nucleotide polymorphisms) of the SMAD7 mRNA. The invention thus relates to treatment methods for subjects having polymorphic forms of SMAD7 and antisense oligonucleotides that specifically target SMAD7 mRNA transcripts containing polymorphisms.
摘要:
The present invention provides ruthenium-based photolinker compounds, caged molecules comprising the ruthenium-based photolinker compounds, and methods of use. In certain aspects, the compositions disclosed herein comprise an active domain conjugated to a ruthenium-based photolinker, such that irradiation of the photolinker exposes the active domain. The present invention includes a composition comprising at least one ruthenium-based photolinker compound of formula (II), wherein in formula (II): L1, L2, L3, and L4 are each independently a ligand; and X1 and X2 are each independently a photolabile ligand having a reactive moiety.
摘要:
The present invention provides compounds comprising oligonucleotides complementary to an LRP8 transcript. Certain such compounds are useful for hybridizing to an LRP8 transcript, including but not limited, to an LRP8 transcript in a cell. In certain embodiments, such hybridization results in modulation of splicing of the LRP8 transcript. In certain embodiments, such hybridization results in an increase in inclusion of exon 19 in the LRP8 mRNA transcript. In certain embodiments, such compounds are used to treat Alzheimer's Disease.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising (i) a compound promoting the expression and/or the activity of one or more long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) selected from SEQ ID NOs 12, 8 to 11 and 13; and/or (ii) a compound inhibiting the expression and/or the activity of one or more lncRNAs selected from SEQ ID NOs 1 to 7, 27 and 28. The present invention also relates to a compound (i) promoting the expression and/or the activity of one or more lncRNAs selected from SEQ ID NOs 12, 8 to 11 and 13; and/or (ii) inhibiting the expression and/or the activity of one or more lncRNAs selected from SEQ ID NOs 1 to 7, 27 and 28 for use in treating or preventing cardiac hypertrophy.

摘要:
The present invention relates to RNAi constructs with improved tissue and cellular uptake characteristics and methods of use of these compounds in dermal and fibrotic applications. Aspects of the invention provide nucleic acid molecules for the prophylactic treatment of wounding to reduce scarring. Herein, it is demonstrated that a specific nucleic acid molecule, RXI-109 (targeting connective tissue growth factor (CTGF)), given prophylactically, reduces scarring during wound healing.
摘要:
The invention provides pharmaceutical compounds and formulations comprising nucleic acids and polypeptides for regulating (including upregulating or inhibiting) the expression of ApoA-l Binding Protein (APOAIBP, AIBP, or AI-BP), and methods for making and using them. In alternative embodiments, APOAIBP-inhibiting pharmaceutical compositions and formulations of the invention are administered to an individual in need thereof in an amount sufficient to stimulate tissue revascularization, e.g., supporting or stimulating revascularization of heart tissue, e.g., after a cardiac ischemia. In alternative embodiments, pharmaceutical compositions and formulations of the invention that comprise APOAIBP nucleic acids and polypeptides or result in an increase in expression or activity of APOAIBP nucleic acids and polypeptides are administered to an individual in need thereof in an amount sufficient to treat, prevent, reverse and/or ameliorate a dyslipidemia, e.g., to treat, prevent, reverse and/or ameliorate conditions responsive to increasing cholesterol efflux from cells, including cardiovascular disease and atherosclerosis.
