Abstract

See full text

A method and compounds are provided for inhibiting the synthesis of extracellular matrix proteins. Compounds of the invention comprise antisense oligonucleotides specific for nuclear proto-oncogenes. Preferably, antisense compounds of the invention are selected from the group consisting of c-myc and c-myb and are locally administered. The invention finds use in the treatment of a variety of disorders, including sclerotic disorders and restenosis, associated with the inappropriate synthesis of extracellular matrix proteins, particularly collagen.
