Abstract

See full text

The present invention provides a method of inhibiting restenosis of a blood vessel in a mammal after mechanical treatment of the vessel to reduce a stenosis. The method includes contacting proliferating smooth muscle cells in the vessel with an antisense oligonucleotide directed against a cellular division cycle gene product. This gene product can be one of the following: c-myc, PCNA, and cyclin B.sub.1. The antisense oligonucleotide is used in an amount effective to inhibit translation of the cellular division cycle gene product in the cell.
