Antifibrotic Effect of MMP13-encoding Plasmid DNA Delivered Using Polyethylenimine Shielded With Hyaluronic Acid
7 Dec 2010
Abstract excerpt
The imbalanced expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) is associated with liver fibrosis, one of the most common chronic liver diseases. Enhanced expression of MMPs by gene therapy is emerging as a promising antifibrotic strategy, but the effectiveness of this approach depends on reliable systems for delivering MMP genes. Here, we evaluated a newly designed hyaluronic acid (HA)-shielded delivery system for...
