  • Patent number: 8318922
    Abstract: Antisense oligonucleotides that inhibit expression of human replication-initiation protein as well as methods of preventing or treating hyperproliferative conditions using said oligonucleotides are disclosed. One aspect provides an antisense oligonucleotide that inhibits the expression of human replication-initiation protein and has a sequence complementary to at least a portion of a target sequence encoding a human replication-initiation gene. By administering a therapeutically effective amount of an antisense oligonucleotide or by contacting the hyperproliferating cells with an effective amount of one or more antisense oligonucleotides, expression of replication-initiation protein is inhibited. Methods of screening and testing active antisense oligonucleotides for their ability to inhibit gene expression are also disclosed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 24, 2008
    Date of Patent: November 27, 2012
    Assignee: The Hong Kong Polytechnic University
    Inventors: Chun Liang, Dao-rong Feng, Zhi-ling Yu
