Abstract
Compositions and methods are provided for modulating the expression of novel anti-apoptotic bcl-2-related proteins. Antisense oligonucleotides targeted to nucleic acids encoding the human novel anti-apoptotic bcl-2-related proteins A1 and mcl-1 are preferred. Methods of using these compounds for modulation of novel anti-apoptotic bcl-2-related protein expression and for treatment of diseases associated with expression of novel anti-apoptotic bcl-2-related proteins are also provided. Also provided are methods of using these compounds for promoting apoptosis and for treatment of diseases for which promotion of apoptosis is desired.
