ABSTRACT:
Antisense compounds, compositions and methods are provided for modulating the expression of Smad3. The compositions comprise antisense compounds, particularly antisense oligonucleotides, targeted to nucleic acids encoding Smad3. Methods of using these compounds for modulation of Smad3 expression and for treatment of diseases associated with expression of Smad3 are provided.
