2. Description of the Related Art Cancer has long been known as an incurable disease, but it has not changed significantly to date. It is a so-called rebellious molecule, where cancer cells are derived from the organism itself.The basic physiological mechanism is not much different from normal cells, so if you try to kill cancer cells with an anticancer drug etc., normal cells are also damaged. This is because side effects occur. In view of this situation, methods for selectively attacking and treating only cancer have been studied. For example, a method has been devised in which a carrier such as a monoclonal antibody or a liposome for a cancer cell-specific antigen is used and a drug is carried on these carriers.
There was a problem with the binding force between the monoclonal antibody or carrier and the drug, and a problem with release, and it was not possible to exert a sufficient effect.

[0003] Since the early 1980's, various genetic manipulation techniques have been advanced and applied to the field of cancer treatment. Of these, a gene specifically required for the physiology and proliferation of cancer is reacted with an oligonucleotide (antisense oligonucleotide) having a base sequence complementary to a part of the gene, so that the cancer-related gene is covered. An antisense technique has been devised, and various studies have been made on this technique. Since this antisense oligonucleotide inhibits gene expression indiscriminately for both cancer cells and normal cells, it is an important point what kind of gene expression is suppressed.

The technology of antisense oligonucleotides against A-RIα has attracted attention due to the novel mechanism (JP-A-6-21889). However, its anti-cancer effect in vivo cannot be said to be remarkably excellent, and its effectiveness has been problematic.

[0014] The length of the oligonucleotide chain is not particularly limited as long as the specificity for the protein kinase A gene is maintained. The preferred chain length is 9 to 40 in terms of the number of bases. This is because if it is less than 9, the specificity for the gene may be low and the anticancer effect may not be sufficiently exerted, and if it exceeds 40, it is extremely difficult to synthesize by controlling the base sequence. More preferred chain lengths are those having 15 to 24 bases, which have the best balance between effect and economy.

The sequence of the antisense oligonucleotide for protein kinase A-RIα is a sequence substantially complementary to a part of the base sequence of the coding or non-coding chain of the protein kinase A-RIα gene, in other words, non-coding. If the sequence is substantially identical to a part of the base sequence of the chain or the coding chain, the protein kinase AR
It is expected that the biosynthesis of Iα can be suppressed. As a part of the nucleotide sequence of the protein kinase A-RIα gene, the above effect can be expected at any site of the gene, but from the viewpoint of completely suppressing the expression of the protein kinase A-RIα activity, It is preferably a part of a sequence consisting of 300 nucleotides from the initiation codon to the 100th codon at the 5 'end of the coding strand of the gene. This protein kinase A-RI
SEQ ID NO: 1 shows the sequence of 300 nucleotides of the coding region of the α gene. In addition, an antisense sequence corresponding to this sequence (the same as the sequence of the non-coding strand) is shown in SEQ ID NO: 6.
Here, the relationship between the sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 1 and the sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 6 is complementary, and anticancer activity can be expected with any antisense oligonucleotide for either strand of the gene.

Here, "substantially complementary" does not require that all nucleotides in the oligonucleotide are complementary to the protein kinase A gene, and that the oligonucleotide is a gene DNA or It means that it only needs to hybridize to the corresponding site of mRNA and be complementary to the extent that it can inhibit transcription or translation. Therefore, as long as specific hybridization is not inhibited under physiological conditions, there may be substitution, deletion or insertion of some nucleotides in the nucleotide chain.

The nucleotides that can be replaced in an antisense oligonucleotide differ depending on the length and sequence of the oligonucleotide. Generally, the vicinity of both ends of an oligonucleotide is more affected by substitution, deletion and insertion than inside. AT (or AU) base pairs are less affected by substitution than GC base pairs. Methods for calculating the hybridization intensity of nucleic acids are known, and those skilled in the art will modify some of the sequences based on the sequences shown in SEQ ID NOs: 1 and 6 so that hybridization under physiological conditions is not impaired. It is easy. Specifically, those having a homology of 90% or more to the protein kinase A gene can be expected to have a desired effect to some extent, and can be defined as substantially complementary. Furthermore, even if an oligonucleotide having a non-specific sequence is added to the 5 'end or 3' end of such an oligonucleotide, it is not substantially affected.

Further, it may contain a base capable of nonspecifically hydrogen bonding with another base such as inosine.
