International Classification:

A61K 31/70
C07H 21/04

US Classification:

514 44, 536 245

Abstract:

Synthesis of a target transcript of a gene is selectively increased in a mammalian cell by contacting the cell with a polynucleotide oligomer of 12-28 bases complementary to a region within a target promoter of the gene under conditions whereby the oligomer selectively increases synthesis of the target transcript.

US Classification:

514 44, 536 231, 536 245, 424 931

Abstract:

The present invention relates to the inhibition of p53 transcription by interfering with the activity of a p53 promoter using inhibitory double-stranded RNAs. Use of these inhibitory RNAs in the treatment of cancers also is disclosed.

Appl. No.:

12/455588

Inventors:

David R. Corey - Dallas TX, US
Scott T. Younger - Dallas TX, US

Assignee:

The Board of Regents of the University of Texas System - Austin TX

International Classification:

C12N 15/11

US Classification:

514 44A

Abstract:

Gene expression can be selectively regulated by endogenous miRNAs that target promoters of genes. Altering of the activity of these promoter-targeting miRNAs with single-stranded complementary oligonucleotides that bind the miRNA causes modulation of expression of the target gene. Endogenous miRNAs that modulate expression of target genes can be identified by (a) evaluating an endogenous miRNA for complementarity to a target gene promoter; and (b) determining that the complementary miRNA modulates expression of the target gene.

International Classification:

B65D 85/57

US Classification:

206311, 2064591, 206807

Abstract:

A secure carrier assembly for media devices. The assembly includes a carrier having a front panel, a rear panel, and an intermediate panel. At least one panel of the carrier comprises a durable polymeric material, such as a lens sheet assembly including a lens sheet, and an image layer. The carrier with lens sheet assembly provides enhanced security features, increased durability, and eye-catching features compared to traditional carrier or packaging assemblies.

Abstract:

Transcription of a gene in a mammalian cell is methylase-independently inhibited by contacting the cell with a nucleic acid oligomer of 12-28 bases complementary for a partially single-stranded target genomic sequence of the gene.

International Classification:

C12Q 1/68

US Classification:

435 6

Abstract:

Gene expression is selectively modulated in the genome of a mammalian cell determined to be in need thereof by determining the presence of an encoded antisense transcript overlapping a promoter of the target gene; contacting the transcript with an agRNA or gapmer complementary to a portion of the transcript upstream relative to the transcription start site of the gene; and detecting a resultant modulation of expression of the target gene.

C12N 5/02
C12Q 1/68

US Classification:

514 44 R, 435375, 435 6

Abstract:

Gene expression can be selectively modulated by contacting a cell with an oligomer that targets a gene region downstream of a ′3-UTR, thereby increasing or decreasing the expression of the target gene.
