Structural Diversity of Sense and Antisense RNA Hexanucleotide Repeats Associated with ALS and FTLD

Molecules, 2020
The hexanucleotide expansion GGGGCC located in C9orf72 gene represents the most common genetic cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal lobar dementia (FTLD).

A Kinetic Model Explains Why Shorter and Less Affine Enzyme-recruiting Oligonucleotides Can Be More Potent

Molecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids, 2014
Antisense oligonucleotides complementary to RNA targets promise generality and ease of drug design. The first systemically administered antisense drug was recently approved for treatment and others are in clinical development. Chemical modifications that

Antisense Oligonucleotides: Concepts and Pharmaceutical Applications

Borneo Journal of Pharmacy, 2023
Antisense oligonucleotides are drugs whose mechanism is based on binding to RNA target sequences. For this purpose, they modify the protein expression through steric hindrance and exon omission.

Antisense oligonucleotides extend survival and reverse decrement in muscle response in ALS models

Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2018
Mutations in superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) are responsible for 20% of familial ALS. Given the gain of toxic function in this dominantly inherited disease, lowering SOD1 mRNA and protein is predicted to provide therapeutic benefit.

Targeted delivery of antisense oligonucleotides to pancreatic β-cells

Science Advances, 2018
Receptor-dependent productive uptake of GLP1-conjugated antisense oligonucleotides occurs selectively in pancreatic β-cells. Antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) silencing of the expression of disease-associated genes is an attractive novel therapeutic ...

The anticancer effect of the HDAC inhibitor belinostat is enhanced by inhibitors of Bcl‐xL or Mcl‐1 in ovarian cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
The pan‐HDAC inhibitor belinostat increases the expression of the pro‐apoptotic proteins Bim, Puma, and Noxa and induces apoptosis in ovarian cancer cell lines and patient‐derived tumor organoids when used at high concentrations. Moreover, inhibiting the anti‐apoptotic proteins Bcl‐xL or Mcl‐1 sensitizes these preclinical models to the cytotoxic effect

Efficient inhibition of HIV-1 expression by LNA modified antisense oligonucleotides and DNAzymes targeted to functionally selected binding sites

Retrovirology, 2007
Background A primary concern when targeting HIV-1 RNA by means of antisense related technologies is the accessibility of the targets. Using a library selection approach to define the most accessible sites for 20-mer oligonucleotides annealing within the ...

Transport Oligonucleotides—A Novel System for Intracellular Delivery of Antisense Therapeutics

Molecules, 2020
Biological activity of antisense oligonucleotides (asON), especially those with a neutral backbone, is often attenuated by poor cellular accumulation. In the present proof-of-concept study, we propose a novel delivery system for asONs which implies the ...
