Abstract: A method for treating a patient suffering from multiple sclerosis, including progressive forms of multiple sclerosis, comprising periodically administering a pharmaceutical composition comprising a therapeutically effective amount of OLIGONUCLEOTIDE I to the patient, thereby treating the patient.

Abstract: A method for mobilizing leukemia cells which are ?4 integrin positive to the peripheral blood of a human subject, the method comprising administering to the human subject an effective amount of an antisense compound to ?4 integrin. The cells may be mobilized from bone marrow. The antisense compound is: 5?-MeCMeUG AGT MeCTG TTT MeUMeCMeC AMeUMeU MeCMeU-3? wherein, (a) each of the 19 internucleotide linkages of the oligonucleotide is an O,O-linked phosphorothioate diester; (b) the nucleotides at the positions 1 to 3 from the 5? end are 2?-O-(2-methoxyethyl) modified ribonucleosides; (c) the nucleotides at the positions 4 to 12 from the 5? end are 2?-deoxyribonucleosides; (d) the nucleotides at the positions 13 to 20 from the 5? end are 2?-O-(2-methoxyethyl) modified ribonucleosides; and (e) all cytosines are 5-methylcytosines (MeC), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for treatment or prevention of diseases have an increased level of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I). The method comprises administration of a growth hormone (GH) variant having antagonistic activity in combination with an oligonucleotide targeted to growth hormone receptor (GHR) to a subject in need.

Abstract: Compounds, compositions and methods are provided for modulating the expression of growth hormone receptor and/or insulin like growth factor-I (IGF-I). The compositions comprise oligonucleotides, targeted to nucleic acid encoding growth hormone receptor. Methods of using these compounds for modulation of growth hormone receptor expression and for diagnosis and treatment of disease associated with expression of growth hormone receptor and/or insulin-like growth factor-I are provided. Diagnostic methods and kits are also provided.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods, compounds, and compositions for reducing expression of an IGF-IR mRNA and protein in an animal. Also provided herein are methods, compounds, and compositions that inhibit expression of IGF-IR in an animal. Such methods, compounds, and compositions are useful to treat, prevent, delay, or ameliorate the tumor or cancer, or a symptom thereof.

Abstract: A method for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of an animal having a respiratory disease or condition associated with airway hyperresponsiveness, eosinophilia, neutrophilia, leukocytes or overproduction of mucus and/or with the expression of integrin ?4 comprising administering to the animal a composition comprising from. 0.001 to 1000 ?g per kg body weight of the animal of an antisense compound targeted to a nucleic acid molecule encoding integrin ?4.

Abstract: The present invention provides compositions and methods for modulating the expression of growth factor gene. In particular, this invention relates to compounds, particularly oligonucleotide compounds, which, in preferred embodiments, hybridize with nucleic acid molecules encoding the Insulin Like Growth Factor I receptor (IGF-I receptor or IGF-IR) and in particular human IGF-IR. Such compounds are exemplified herein to modulate proliferation which is relevant to the treatment of proliferative and inflammatory skin disorders and cancer. It will be understood, however, that the compounds can be used for any other condition in which the IGF-IR is involved including inflammatory condition.
