THERAPEUTIC MOLECULES FOR MODULATING STABILITY OF VEGF TRANSCRIPTS

摘要

This present invention discloses nucleic acid compositions and methods that are useful for treating ischemic conditions in animals, particularly in mammals such as humans. Specifically, the invention discloses nucleic acid molecules comprising or encoding a sequence that modulates the stability of a transcript from a vascular endothelial growth factor gene, as well as pharmaceutical compositions containing such molecules, which are useful for modulating angiogenesis or vascularization, especially in methods for treating ischemic conditions.
