| 摘要 |
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. |
