CA 2422934

The present invention provides antisense oligonucleotides that target the genes and mRNAs encoding mammalian VEGF receptors. Also provided are methods for designing and testing the antisense oligonucleotides. Such oligonucleotides can be used to reduce VEGF-induced inflammation and angiogenesis, for example, pathological angiogenesis, in mammals. Thus, the present invention also pertains to pharmaceutical compositions and formulations used in the treatment of mammals having a disease or disorder characterised by inflammation and/or pathological angiogenesis; including tumour growth and metastasis, ocular diseases (diabetic and perinatal hyperoxic retinopathies, age-related macular degeneration), arthritis, psoriasis and atherosclerosis.

La présente invention concerne des oligonucléotides antisens qui ciblent les gènes et les ARN messagers codant des récepteurs du facteur de croissance endothéliale vasculaire (vascular endothelial growth factor : VEGF) mammifère. La présente invention concerne également des procédés pour concevoir et tester lesdits oligonucléotides antisens. De tels oligonucléotides peuvent être utilisés afin de réduire l'inflammation et l'angiogenèse induites par le VEGF, par exemple l'angiogenèse pathologique, chez les mammifères. En outre, cette invention concerne des compositions et des préparations pharmaceutiques utilisées dans le traitement de mammifères victimes d'une maladie ou d'un trouble caractérisé par une inflammation et/ou par une angiogenèse pathologique, tel que la croissance de tumeurs et la métastase, les pathologies oculaires (les rétinopathies diabétiques et hyperoxiques périnatales, la dégénérescence maculaire liée à l'âge), l'arthrite, le psoriasis et l'athérosclérose.
