  • Publication number: 20070178068
    Abstract: The disclosure provided herein provides for methods and compositions for modulating the human complement pathway by reducing the expression or production of one or more complement pathway protein and uses for such methods for treating diseases including ocular disease and macular degeneration related disease. The invention also includes active agents for mediating the modulation of the complement pathway including siRNA designed to cause the RNAi-mediated degradation of complement pathway proteins.

  • Publication number: 20070149471
    Abstract: RNA interference using small interfering RNAs which are specific for the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene and the VEGF receptor genes Flt-1 and Flk-1/KDR inhibit expression of these genes. Diseases which involve angiogenesis stimulated by overexpression of VEGF, such as diabetic retinopathy, age related macular degeneration and many types of cancer, can be treated by administering the small interfering RNAs.

  • Publication number: 20070037762
    Abstract: RNA interference using small interfering RNAs which are specific for the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene and the VEGF receptor genes Flt-1 and Flk-1/KDR inhibit expression of these genes. Diseases which involve antiogenesis stimulated by overexpression of VEGF, such as diabetic retinopathy, age related macular degeneration and many types of cancer, can be treated by administering the small interfering RNAs.

  • Publication number: 20060287259
    Abstract: A desired physiological state can be induced by altering the amount of gene products in target cells of a subject. The target cells are treated with at least one compound designed to reduce expression of at least one first gene by RNAi, and with at least one compound designed to increase expression from at least one second gene. The reduced expression of the first gene and the increased expression from the second gene in the target cells induces the desired physiological state in the subject. By altering target cell gene expression in this way, conditions such as angiogenesis or tumor growth and metastasis can be inhibited.
