The present invention relates to methods of administering to a subject multimeric oligonucleotides having monomeric subunits joined by linkers. The multimeric oligonucleotides have a molecular weight of at least about 45 kD and other characteristics, such that their clearance due to glomerular filtration is reduced. The present invention also relates to such multimeric oligonucleotides and methods of synthesizing such multimeric oligonucleotides.

Multimeric oligonucleotides having decreased kidney clearance

Defined multi-conjugate oligonucleotides can have predetermined sizes and compositions. For example, in various embodiment, defined multi-conjugate oligonucleotides can have advantageous properties, for example in the form of defined multi-conjugate siRNA (i.e., including two, three or more siRNA) having enhanced intracellular delivery and/or multi-gene silencing effects. In various embodiment, the defined multi-conjugate oligonucleotides can be synthesized via new synthetic intermediates and methods. The defined multi-conjugate oligonucleotides can be used, for example, in reducing gene expression, biological research, treating or preventing medical conditions, or to produce new or altered phenotypes in cells or organisms.

The invention relates to compositions and methods for modulating the expression of alpha-ENaC, and more particularly to the downregulation of alpha-ENaC expression by chemically modified oligonucleotides.

RNAi inhibition of alpha-ENaC expression

The invention relates to saRNA targeting a C/EBP&#x3b1; transcript and therapeutic compositions comprising said saRNA. Methods of using the therapeutic compositions are also provided.

C/EBP alpha saRNA compositions and methods of use

The invention relates to a double-stranded ribonucleic acid (dsRNA) for inhibiting the expression of Factor V, comprising an antisense strand having a nucleotide sequence which is less that 25 nucleotides in length and which is substantially complementary to at least a part of Factor V. The invention also relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising the dsRNA together with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier; methods for treating diseases caused by the expression of Factor V using the pharmaceutical composition; and methods for inhibiting the expression of Factor V in a cell.

Compositions and methods for inhibiting expression of factor V

The present invention relates to agents, compositions and methods for inhibiting the expression of a target gene, comprising an RNAi agent bearing at least one galactosyl moiety. These are useful for delivering the gene expression inhibiting activity to cells, particularly hepatocytes, and more particularly in therapeutic applications.

Glycoconjugates of RNA interference agents

The invention relates to compositions and methods for modulating the expression of apolipoprotein B, and more particularly to the downregulation of apolipoprotein B by chemically modified oligonucleotides.

RNAi modulation of ApoB and uses thereof

The invention relates to a double-stranded ribonucleic acid (dsRNA) for inhibiting the expression of the Eg5 gene (Eg5 gene), comprising an antisense strand having a nucleotide sequence which is less that 30 nucleotides in length, generally 19-25 nucleotides in length, and which is substantially complementary to at least a part of the Eg5 gene. The invention also relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising the dsRNA together with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier; methods for treating diseases caused by Eg5 expression and the expression of the Eg5 gene using the pharmaceutical composition; and methods for inhibiting the expression of the Eg5 gene in a cell.

Compositions and methods for inhibiting expression of Eg5 gene

This invention relates to modified double-stranded oligoribonucleic acid (dsRNA) having improved stability in cells and biological fluids, and methods of making and identifying dsRNA having improved stability, and of using the dsRNA to inhibit the expression or function of a target gene.
