Antisense therapy, a genetic treatment, uses antisense oligonucleotides to block disease-causing genes. This review covers its development from lab to clinic, highlighting its promise for cancer treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Molecular Biology
  • Biotechnology
  • Genetics
  • Genetic Therapy

Background:

  • Advances in gene identification and characterization have enabled genetic therapies.
  • Antisense therapy utilizes antisense oligonucleotides to inhibit pathogenic gene expression by targeting mRNA.
  • This approach offers specific, rational, and genetic-based therapeutic strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the development of antisense therapy from preclinical to clinical stages.
  • To highlight the progress and potential of antisense oligonucleotides as therapeutic agents.
  • To discuss key considerations in developing antisense drugs, including target selection and chemistry.

Main Methods:

  • Review of preclinical and clinical studies on antisense oligonucleotides.
