Methods of treating intestinal fibrosis using SMAD7 inhibition
The present invention relates to methods of treating, preventing or managing intestinal fibrosis by inhibiting SMAD7. The invention is also directed to methods of monitoring effectiveness of treatment or management of intestinal fibrosis using a SMAD7 antisense oligonucleotide, as well as methods of regulating SMAD7 antisense oligonucleotide treatment, based on analysis of Transforming Growth Factor-β (TGF-β) levels, α-Smooth Muscle Actin (a-SMA) levels, and/or phosphorylated Mothers Against Decapentaplegic Homolog 3 (p-SMAD3) levels.
Targeted Inhibition Using Engineered Oligonucleotides
Disclosed herein are engineered oligonucleotides for selective inhibition of polypeptide expression and activity. Also disclosed herein are methods of selectively inhibiting polypeptide expression and activity contacting an engineered oligonucleotide with a polynucleotide encoding the polypeptide.
COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS OF TREATING FACIOSCAPULOHUMERAL MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY
Disclosed herein are polynucleic acid molecules, pharmaceutical compositions, and methods for treating Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy.
METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR REJUVENATING CNS GLIAL POPULATIONS BY SUPPRESION OF TRANSCRIPTION FACTORS
The present disclosure is directed to methods of inducing rejuvenation in a population of adult glial progenitor cells, and methods of treating a subject having a myelin deficiency. The method of inducing rejuvenation in a population of adult glial progenitor cells may comprise administering, to the population of adult glial progenitor cells, an effective amount of an agent that suppresses one or more transcription factors selected from the group consisting of (i) zinc finger protein 274 (ZNF274), (ii) Myc-associated factor X (MAX), (iii) E2F transcription factor 6 (E2F6), (iv) zinc finger protein Aiolos (IKZF3), and (v) signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3).
COMPOUNDS AND COMPOSITIONS INCLUDING PHOSPHOROTHIOATED OLIGODEOXYNUCLEOTIDE, AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF
The present disclosure relates to an isolated compound including a phosphorothioated oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN) sequence conjugated to a short-activating RNA (saRNA) or an antisense oligonucleotide sequence (ASO), compositions of such a compound, and method of treatment of cancer and autoimmune diseases (with or without stimulating an immune response), method of immune stimulation, method of activating CEBPA, and method of reducing activity of STAT transcription factor, by one of the disclosed compounds or compositions.
EXON SKIPPING OLIGOMER CONJUGATES FOR MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY
Antisense oligomer conjugates complementary to a selected target site in the human dystrophin gene to induce exon 45 skipping are described.
METHODS FOR INHIBITION OF HAO1 (HYDROXYACID OXIDASE 1 (GLYCOLATE OXIDASE)) GENE EXPRESSION
The invention relates methods of using RNAi agents to inhibit expression of HAO1 and methods of treating subjects having, e.g., PH1.
Targeted inhibition using engineered oligonucleotides
Disclosed herein are engineered oligonucleotides for selective inhibition of polypeptide expression and activity. Also disclosed herein are methods of selectively inhibiting polypeptide expression and activity contacting an engineered oligonucleotide with a polynucleotide encoding the polypeptide.
Therapy
The present invention provides an oligonucleotide comprising the sequence 5′-GGAACAGTTCGTCCATGGC-3′ (SEQ ID NO:2) for use in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease in a human subject, wherein individual doses of from 100 mg to 350 mg of said oligonucleotide are administered to the subject on at least four separate occasions, wherein the separate occasions are each a week apart.
Compositions and methods for treating transthyretin (TTR) mediated amyloidosis
Disclosed herein are methods for treating hereditary transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis (hATTR amyloidosis) in a human patient in need thereof by administering an effective amount of a transthyretin (TTR)-inhibiting composition.
