EFFECTS OF APOLIPOPROTEIN B INHIBITION ON GENE EXPRESSION PROFILES IN ANIMALS
-
Paragraph 0263, (2015/11/17)
Antisense compounds, compositions and methods are provided for modulating the expression of apolipoprotein B. The compositions comprise antisense compounds, particularly antisense oligonucleotides, targeted to nucleic acids encoding apolipoprotein B. Methods of using these compounds for modulation of apolipoprotein B expression and for treatment of diseases associated with expression of apolipoprotein B are provided. Methods are provided for modulating the expression of genes involved in lipid metabolism, useful in the treatment of conditions associated with cardiovascular risk. Antisense oligonucleotides targeted to apolipoprotein B reduce the level of apolipoprotein B mRNA, lower serum cholesterol and shift liver gene expression profiles from those of an obese animal towards those of a lean animal. Further provided are methods for improving the cardiovascular risk of a subject through antisense inhibition of apolipoprotein B. Also provided are methods for employing antisense oligonucleotides targeted to apolipoprotein B to modulate a cellular pathway or metabolic process.

Antisense inhibition via RNAse H-independent reduction in mRNA
-
Page/Page column 22, (2010/02/12)
The present invention provides compositions and methods for reducing levels of a preselected mRNA, using antisense compounds targeted to a splice site or a region up to 50 nucleobases upstream of an exon/intron junction on said mRNA. Preferably, said antisense compounds do not elicit RNAse H cleavage of the mRNA.
