ABSTRACT:
Antisense compounds, compositions and methods are provided for modulating the expression of polo-like kinase. The compositions comprise antisense compounds, particularly antisense oligonucleotides, targeted to nucleic acids encoding polo-like kinase. Methods of using these compounds for modulation of polo-like kinase expression and for treatment of diseases associated with expression of polo-like kinase are provided.
