Oligonucleotides directed against the Ha-ras gene are provided for modulating the expression of Ha-ras. The compositions comprise oligonucleotides, particularly antisense oligonucleotides, targeted to nucleic acids encoding the Ha-ras. Methods of using these compounds for modulation of Ha-ras expression and for the treatment of diseases associated with either overexpression of Ha-ras, expression of mutated Ha-ras or both are provided. Examples of diseases are cancer such as lung, breast, colon, prostate, pancreas, lung, liver, thyroid, kidney, brain, testes, stomach, intestine, bowel, spinal cord, sinuses, bladder, urinary tract or ovaries cancers. The oligonucleotides may be composed of deoxyribonucleosides or a nucleic acid analogue such as for example locked nucleic acid or a combination thereof.
本发明提供了针对Ha-ras
基因的寡核苷酸,用于调节Ha-ras的表达。该组合物包括寡核苷酸,特别是针对编码Ha-ras的核酸的反义寡核苷酸。提供了使用这些化合物调节Ha-ras表达以及治疗与Ha-ras过度表达,突变Ha-ras表达或两者都有关的疾病的方法。疾病的例子是癌症,如肺癌、乳腺癌、结肠癌、前列腺癌、胰腺癌、肝癌、甲状腺癌、肾癌、脑癌、睾丸癌、胃癌、肠癌、脊髓、鼻窦、膀胱、泌尿道或卵巢癌。寡核苷酸可以由脱氧核苷酸或
核酸类似物组成,例如锁定核酸或其组合。
