COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR INHIBITING MITOCHONDRIA AMIDOXIME REDUCING COMPONENT 1 (MARC1) EXPRESSION
Oligonucleotides are provided herein that inhibit MARC1 expression. Also provided are compositions including the same and uses thereof, particularly uses relating to treating diseases, disorders and/or conditions associated with MARC1 expression.
RNA interference agents for GST-PI gene modulation
This invention provides compounds, compositions and methods for modulating the expression of human GST-π using RNA interference. The RNA interference molecules can be used in methods for preventing or treating diseases such as malignant tumor. Provided are a range of siRNA structures, having one or more of nucleotides being modified or chemically-modified. Advantageous structures include siRNAs with 2′-deoxy nucleotides located in the seed region, as well as other nucleotide modifications.
Method of allele specific silencing for the treatment of autosomal dominant Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia (CPVT)
The present invention provides a method for the treatment of autosomal dominant Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia associated with mutations in the cardiac ryanodine receptor type 2 (RYR2) gene, by the use of an AAV mediated RNA interference approach to induce allele specific silencing of mutant mRNA.
Methods for sub-typing and treating cancer
This invention relates to a novel approach for the identification and stratification of subtypes of cancer, particularly subtypes of cancer characterized by an increased expression of BCAT1, particularly Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). The invention furthermore relates to a novel approach with respect to the treatment of cancer, particularly subtypes of cancer characterized by an increased expression of BCAT1, particularly Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML).
Use of RNAI Inhibiting PARP Activity for the Manufacture of a Medicament for the Treatment of Cancer
The present invention relates to the use of an agent that inhibits the activity of an enzyme that mediates repair of a DNA strand break in the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of diseases caused by a defect in a gene that mediates homologous recombination.
INHIBITORS OF HEMOPOIETIC CELL KINASE (P-59-HCK) AND THEIR USE IN THE TREATMENT OF INFLUENZA INFECTION
The present invention relates inter alia to the treatment or prevention of influenza virus infection (including subtypes influenza A virus, influenza B virus, avian strain H5N1, A/H1N1, H3N2 and/or pandemic influenza) using compounds which inhibit the activity of p59-HCK and to a method of screening for a candidate drug substance intended to prevent or treat influenza virus infection in a subject, said method comprising identifying a test substance capable of inhibiting p59-HCK activity.
AGENTS FOR IMPROVED DELIVERY OF NUCLEIC ACIDS TO EUKARYOTIC CELLS
New cationic lipids are provided that are useful for delivering macromolecules, such as nucleic acids, into eukaryotic cells. The lipids can be used alone, in combination with other lipids and/or in combination with other transfection enhancing reagents to prepare transfection complexes.
COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS
Provided herein are oligomeric compounds with conjugate groups. In certain embodiments, the oligomeric compounds are conjugated to N-Acetylgalactosamine.
