ABSTRACT:
Compounds, compositions and methods are provided for modulating the expression of Aurora B. The compositions comprise oligonucleotides, targeted to nucleic acid encoding Aurora B. Methods of using these compounds for modulation of Aurora B expression and for diagnosis and treatment of diseases and conditions associated with expression of Aurora B are provided. Also provided are methods of using these compounds to modulate the growth of cancer cells, including p53-deficient cancer cells.
