Oligonucleotides directed against the survivin gene are provided for modulating the expression of survivin. The compositions comprise oligonucleotides, particularly antisense oligonucleotides, targeted to nucleic acids encoding the survivin. Methods of using these compounds for modulation of survivin expression and for the treatment of diseases associated with either overexpression of survivin, expression of mutated survivin 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survivin基因的寡核苷酸,用于调节survivin的表达。这些组合物包括寡核苷酸,特别是针对编码survivin的核酸的反义寡核苷酸。提供了使用这些化合物调节survivin表达并治疗与survivin过度表达、表达突变survivin或两者都有关的疾病的方法。例如,这些疾病包括肺癌、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、脊髓癌、鼻窦癌、膀胱癌、泌尿道癌或卵巢癌等癌症。这些寡核苷酸可以由脱氧核苷酸或核酸类似物组成,例如锁定核酸或两者的组合。
