MODULATION OF TOLL-LIKE RECEPTOR 4 EXPRESSION BY ANTISENSE OLIGONUCLEOTIDES

摘要

Antisense oligonucleotide compounds, compositions and methods are provided for down regulating the expression of TLR4. The compositions comprise antisense oligonucleotides targeted to nucleic acids encoding TLR4. The compositions may also comprise antisense oligonucleotides targeted to nucleic acids encoding TLR4 in combination with other therapeutic and/or prophylactic compounds and/or compositions. Methods of using these compounds and compositions for down-regulating TLR4 expression and for prevention or treatment of diseases wherein modulation of TLR4 expression would be beneficial are provided.
