  • Publication number: 20130035369
    Abstract: The present invention provides double stranded compositions wherein the first strand is modified to have a particular motif and the second strand is modified a selected motif. More particularly, the present compositions comprise an antisense strand that is modified to have a positional/full motif and the sense strand is modified to have an alternating motif, a hemimer motif, a blockmer motif, a gapped motif, a positional motif, a positional/full motif or a fully modified motif. Each strand further comprises one or more phosphorothioate internucleoside linkage. The compositions are useful for targeting selected nucleic acid molecules and modulating the expression of one or more genes.

  • Publication number: 20120295962
    Abstract: Provided herein are methods for the treatment of liver cancer. These methods encompass the administration of a compound comprising a modified oligonucleotide, wherein the modified oligonucleotide is targeted to a miRNA. Also provided herein are compositions for the treatment of liver cancer. Such compositions include compounds comprising a modified oligonucleotide, wherein the modified oligonucleotide is targeted to a miRNA. Certain miRNAs have been identified as overexpressed in liver cancer, such as, for example, hepatocellular carcinoma, and are thus selected for targeting by modified oligonucleotides. Further, certain miRNAs have been identified as overexpressed in hepatocellular carcinoma cells exposed to dioxin, and are thus selected for targeting by modified oligonucleotides. Antisense inhibition of certain of these miRNAs has been found to inhibit cell proliferation and induce apoptosis.

  • Publication number: 20110046206
    Abstract: The present invention provides double stranded compositions wherein the first strand is modified to have a particular motif and the second strand is modified a selected motif. The motifs are defined by positioning of differentially modified nucleosides wherein at least the sugar moieties are different. More particularly, the present compositions comprise an antisense strand that is modified to have a positional/full motif and the sense strand is modified to have an alternating motif, a hemimer motif, a blockmer motif, a gapped motif, a positional motif, a positional/full motif or a fully modified motif. Each strand further comprises one or more phosphorothioate internucleoside linkage. The compositions are useful for targeting selected nucleic acid molecules and modulating the expression of one or more genes. In preferred embodiments the compositions of the present invention hybridize to a portion of a target RNA resulting in loss of normal function of the target RNA.
