Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method for the prophylactic and therapeutic treatment of diseases or disorders associated with the abnormal proliferation and extracellular matrix synthesis of smooth muscle cells (SMC) and fibroblasts due to activation of NAD(P)H and/or increased ROS generation. The method involves the administration of an NAD(P)H oxidase inhibitor(s) and/or antioxidant(s) to a mammal in an amount sufficient to treat the disease or disorder prophylactically or therapeutically. The NAD(P)H oxidase inhibitor inhibits the synthesis or translocation of NAD(P)H subunits, thereby blocking the generation of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and thus the proliferation and extracellular matrix synthesis of SMC and fibroblasts. Similarly, the administration of antioxidants blocks the generation of intracellular ROS, thereby inhibiting SMC and fibroblast proliferation and extracellular matrix synthesis.

Abstract: A method and compounds are provided for inhibiting the synthesis of extracellular matrix proteins. Compounds of the invention comprise oligonucleotides specific for nuclear proto-oncogenes. Preferably, oligonucleotides of the invention are selected from the group consisting of c-myc and c-myb and are locally administered. The invention finds use in the treatment of a variety of disorders, including sclerotic disorders and restenosis, associated with the inappropriate synthesis of extracellular matrix proteins, particularly collagen.

Abstract: The present invention provides antisense therapies useful for modulating smooth muscle cell proliferation. Methods of treating and preventing restenosis are also provided.
