Therapeutic use of cis-element decoys in vivo

   
   

The invention provides for the use of oligodeoxynucleotide decoys for the prophylactic or therapeutic treatment of diseases associated with the binding of endogenous transcription factors to genes involved in cell growth, differentiation and signalling or to viral genes. By inhibiting endogenous trans-activating factors from binding transcription regulatory regions, the decoys modulate gene expression and thereby regulating pathological processes including inflammation, intimal hyperplasia, angiogenesis, neoplasia, immune responses and viral infection. The decoys are administered in amounts and under conditions whereby binding of the endogenous transcription factor to the endogenous gene is effectively competitively inhibited without significant host toxicity. The subject compositions comprise the decoy molecules in a context which provides for pharmacokinetics sufficient for effective therapeutic use.

A invenção fornece para o uso de decoys do oligodeoxynucleotide para o tratamento prophylactic ou therapeutic das doenças associadas com o emperramento de fatores endogenous da transcrição aos genes envolvidos no crescimento, no differentiation e em sinalizar da pilha ou aos genes viral. Inibindo fatores transporte-ativando endogenous das regiões regulatory da transcrição obrigatória, os decoys modulam processos pathological da expressão e desse modo regular do gene including o inflammation, a hiperplasia intimal, o angiogenesis, o neoplasia, respostas imunes e a infecção viral. Os decoys são administrados nas quantidades e sob circunstâncias por meio de que ligar do fator endogenous da transcrição ao gene endogenous é inibido eficazmente do competidor sem toxicity significativo do anfitrião. As composições sujeitas compreendem as moléculas do decoy em um contexto que forneça para os pharmacokinetics suficientes para o uso therapeutic eficaz.
