Abstract

The present invention relates to a composition for preventing or treating diseases associated with human papillomavirus (HPV), and more specifically, cancer associated with HPV, and even more specifically, cervical cancer. The nucleotide sequence of the present invention, the sequence in which the base thereof is modified, and a specific combination thereof can be useful in a composition for effectively treating diseases associated with HPV infection by greatly inhibiting the expression of the E6/E7 gene of HPV type 16 or 18.

Claims

1. A method for preventing or treating a disease caused by HPV infection comprising:

administering, to a subject, a pharmaceutical composition including;

(a) a pharmaceutically effective amount of a nucleotide pool selected from the group consisting of;

a pool of siRNA sequences comprising nucleotide sequences consisting of SEQ ID No;

2, nucleotide sequences consisting of SEQ ID No;

4, nucleotide sequences consisting of SEQ ID No;

8, nucleotide sequences consisting of SEQ ID No;

9, nucleotide sequences consisting of SEQ ID No;

12 and nucleotide sequences consisting of SEQ ID No;

15;

or

a pool of siRNA sequences comprising nucleotide sequences consisting of SEQ ID No;

58, nucleotide sequences consisting of SEQ ID No;

59, nucleotide sequences consisting of SEQ ID No;

63 and nucleotide sequences consisting of SEQ ID No;

65; and

(b) a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the disease caused by HPV infection is selected from the group consisting of genital warts, vagina inflammation, pelvic inflammation and a cancer.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the cancer is selected from the group consisting of cervical cancer, vagina cancer, vulva cancer, anal cancer, penis cancer, tonsil cancer, pharynx cancer, larynx cancer, head and neck cancer and lung adenocarcinoma.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the pharmaceutical composition administered to the subject includes a pharmaceutically effective amount of a pool of siRNA sequences comprising nucleotide sequences consisting of SEQ ID No:

2, nucleotide sequences consisting of SEQ ID No;

4, nucleotide sequences consisting of SEQ ID No;

8, nucleotide sequences consisting of SEQ ID No;

9, nucleotide sequences consisting of SEQ ID No;

12 and nucleotide sequences consisting of SEQ ID No;

15.
