Silencing hepatic PCSK9 via novel chimeric AAV8 mitigates the progression of atherosclerosis by inhibiting inflammation in ApoE−/− mice
5 Dec 2024
Abstract excerpt
Adeno-associated virus (AAV) is the most widely utilized vector for gene therapy. Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9), predominantly expressed in the liver, plays a crucial role in lipid regulation and atherosclerosis progression. Here, we developed a novel chimeric AAV8.P-PCSK9 short hairpin RNA (shRNA) vector that incorporates a cross-species specific shRNA targeting PCSK9 to assess its...
