Journal ArticleDOI

miR-122 regulation of lipid metabolism revealed by in vivo antisense targeting.

TL;DR: IMR-122 inhibition in a diet-induced obesity mouse model resulted in decreased plasma cholesterol levels and a significant improvement in liver steatosis, accompanied by reductions in several lipogenic genes, suggesting that miR- 122 may be an attractive therapeutic target for metabolic disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evaluation of 2'-modified oligonucleotides containing 2'-deoxy gaps as antisense inhibitors of gene expression

TL;DR: The use of a previously described 17-mer phosphorothioate for structure-function analysis of 2'-sugar modifications and the results demonstrate the importance of target affinity in the action of antisense oligonucleotides and of RNase H as a mechanism by which these compounds exert their effects.
Patent

Gapped 2' modified oligonucleotides

TL;DR: Oligonucleotides and macromolecules are useful for diagnostics and other research purposes, for modulating protein in organisms, and for the diagnosis, detection and treatment of other conditions susceptible to antisense therapeutics as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antitumor activity of a phosphorothioate antisense oligodeoxynucleotide targeted against C- raf kinase

TL;DR: It is suggested that antisense inhibitors targeted against C–raf–1 kinase may be of considerable value as antineoplastic agents that display activity against a wide spectrum of tumor types at well–tolerated doses.
