Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to the technical field of using dsRNA to reduce the expression of target RNA and to treat related diseases, in particular, the present disclosure relates to the preparation and application of dsRNA.
- RNA interference is an effective way to silence gene expression. According to statistics, more than 80% of the disease-related proteins in the human body cannot be targeted by current conventional small molecule drugs and biological macromolecular preparations, and are non-druggable proteins. Using RNA interference technology, it is possible to design appropriate dsRNA based on the mRNA encoding these proteins, specifically target the target mRNA and degrade the target mRNA, thereby inhibiting the production of related proteins. Therefore, dsRNA has very important prospects for drug development. However, in order to achieve the therapeutic effect of RNA interference in vivo, it needs to be delivered to specific cells in vivo.
- asialoglycoprotein receptor is a receptor specifically expressed in hepatocytes, which has high abundance on the surface of hepatocytes and is characterized by rapid intracellular and extracellular transitions.
- Monosaccharide and polysaccharide molecules such as galactose, galactosamine, and N-acetylgalactosamine have high affinity for ASGPR.
- GalNAc galactosamine molecular clusters
- APOC3 is mainly synthesized in the liver and plays an important role in the production, metabolism and clearance of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins from plasma.
- the expression of APOC3 in the liver can promote the secretion of triglyceride-rich very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL).
- APOC3 can also inhibit the catabolism of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins by inhibiting the activity of lipoprotein lipase and hepatic lipase, and further increase serum triglyceride levels.
- APOC3 can also inhibit the hepatic clearance of T-rich lipoproteins and their residual particles by interfering with T-rich lipoproteins and their binding to hepatic receptors.
- Elevated APOC3 levels are associated with elevated triglyceride levels and diseases such as cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, obesity and diabetes. In recent years, APOC3 has emerged as a promising target for the treatment of diseases associated with hypertriglyceridemia. Elevated serum triglyceride levels have been identified as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease and a contributory factor for the development of atherosclerosis. with severe hypertriglyceridemia Individuals are also at high risk of developing recurrent pancreatitis.
