摘要: In humans, overproduction of apolipoprotein B (apoB) is positively associated with premature coronary artery diseases. To reduce the levels apoB mRNA, we used adenovirus-mediated vector to target hammerhead ribozyme at GUA6679 ↓ mRNA (designated AvRB15) in liver a dyslipidemic mouse model that deficient editing enzyme and overexpresses human apoB100. this study, delivered ~4 × 1011 virus particles AvRB15 (active ribozyme) or AvRB15-mutant (inactive animals. Using Southern blot analysis, readily detected RB15 DNA as long day 35 after injection. This result was correlated RNA expression by RNase protection assay. reverse ligation-mediated polymerase chain reaction, 3′ cleavage product detected, exact site confirmed sequencing. Importantly, decreased ~80% transduction. There marked decrease plasma...
