TREATMENT OF BRAIN DERIVED NEUROTROPHIC FACTOR (BDNF) RELATED DISEASES BY INHIBITION OF NATURAL ANTISENSE TRANSCRIPT TO BDNF

摘要

The present invention relates to antisense oligonucleotides that modulate the expression of and/or function of Brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), in particular, by targeting natural antisense polynucleotides of Brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). The invention also relates to the identification of these antisense oligonucleotides and their use in treating diseases and disorders associated with the expression of BDNF.
