ABSTRACT:
Antisense compounds, compositions and methods are provided for modulating the expression of MAP kinase kinase 6. The compositions comprise antisense compounds, particularly antisense oligonucleotides, targeted to nucleic acids encoding MAP kinase kinase 6. Methods of using these compounds for modulation of MAP kinase kinase 6 expression and for treatment of diseases associated with expression of MAP kinase kinase 6 are provided.
