Novel therapeutic strategy for atherosclerosis: ribozyme oligonucleotides against apolipoprotein(a) selectively inhibit apolipoprotein(a) but not plasminogen gene expression.
BACKGROUND Because mechanisms of atherosclerosis by lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] have been postulated in the decrease in active transforming growth factor-beta conversion by decreased plasmin, selective decrease in apolipoprotein(a) [apo(a)] independent of plasminogen may have therapeutic values. Although antisense can decrease apo(a), its application may be difficult because of very high homology of...
متن کاملThe effects of anti-Fas ribozyme on T lymphocyte apoptosis in mice model with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Objective(s): In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of anti-Fas ribozyme on the apoptosis of T lymphocytes (T cells) in mice model with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Materials and Methods: Male 6-week-old C57BL/6 mice were used to establish the COPD model by exposure to cigarette smoke. The COPD mice were sacrificed for spleen dissection and T cell isolation. T cell...
متن کاملNegative Regulation of Local Hepatocyte Growth Factor Expression by Angiotensin II and Transforming Growth Factor-b in Blood Vessels Potential Role of HGF in Cardiovascular Disease
Because hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is a member of the endothelium-specific growth factors, we hypothesized that HGF may play a role in cardiovascular disease. Therefore we first examined the role of local HGF production in endothelial cell (EC) growth. Addition of anti-HGF antibody to EC resulted in a significant decrease in EC number. Moreover, coculture of vascular smooth muscle cells (VS...

متن کاملInhibition of neointima by angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor in porcine coronary artery balloon-injury model.
Because hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) stimulates growth of endothelial cells exclusively without replication of vascular smooth muscle cells, we hypothesized that HGF may play a role in cardiovascular disease. In human vascular smooth muscle cells, angiotensin II suppressed local vascular HGF production in a dose-dependent manner. Using a rat balloon-injury carotid artery model, we demonstrate...
