  • Publication number: 20170247410
    Abstract: A method for enhancing, by at least 10 fold, the antibacterial activity of an antisense oligonucleotide composed of morpholino subunits linked by phosphorus-containing intersubunit linkages. The method includes one or both of: conjugating an arginine-rich carrier to a 3? or 5? end of the oligonucleotide and modifying the oligonucleotide to contain 20%-50% intersubunit linkages that are positively charged at physiological pH. Also disclosed is an antisense oligonucleotide having enhanced antibacterial activity by virtue of one or both modifications.

  • Publication number: 20170247411
    Abstract: A peptide comprising an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 or SEQ ID NO: 2, according to the present invention, shows proliferation and differentiation promotion of osteoblast and proliferation and activation promotion of periodontal ligament fibroblast. A peptide, according to the present invention, increases BMP signaling such as SMAD1/5/8 phosphorylation and increases the growth of osteoblast and the expression of a differentiation marker such as COL1A1, BSP and ALP, thereby ultimately showing osteoblast activation. A peptide, according to the present invention, promotes the growth of periodontal ligament fibroblast by means of PI3K and Akt phosphorylation and increases the expression of an activation marker such as COL1A1 and DSPP, thereby ultimately showing periodontal tissue regeneration activation. Provided are a composition for preventing or treating bone diseases and a composition for preventing or treating periodontal diseases, the compositions comprising the aforementioned peptide.
