The present invention relates to nucleic acid molecules, including dsRNA, siRNA, antisense, 2,5-A chimeras, aptamers, and enzymatic nucleic acid molecules, such as hammerhead ribozymes, DNAzymes, and allozymes, which modulate the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGF) and/or vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFr) genes for the treatment and/or diagnosis of diseases and conditions associated with angiogenesis, such as cancer, tumor angiogenesis, or ocular indications such as diabetic retinopathy, or age related macular degeneration, proliferative diabetic retinopathy, hypoxia-induced angiogenesis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, wound healing, and female reproductive disorders and conditions, including but not limited to endometriosis, endometrial carcinoma, gynecologic bleeding disorders, irregular menstrual cycles, ovulation, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), and menopausal dysfunction.
本发明涉及调节血管内皮生长因子受体(VEGF)和/或血管内皮生长因子受体(VEGFr)基因表达的核酸分子,包括dsRNA、siRNA、反义、2,5-A嵌合体、aptamers和酶核酸分子,如锤头核酶、DNA酶和同工酶,用于治疗和/或诊断与血管生成有关的疾病和病症,如癌症、肿瘤血管生成,或眼部适应症,如糖尿病视网膜病变或老年性黄斑变性、增殖性糖尿病视网膜病变、缺氧诱导的血管生成、类风湿性关节炎、牛皮癣、伤口愈合、以及女性生殖系统疾病和病症,包括但不限于子宫内膜异位症、子宫内膜癌、妇科出血性疾病、月经周期不规律、排卵、经前综合征 (PMS) 和更年期功能障碍。
