Silencing of <i>ApoE</i> with Divalent siRNAs Drives Activation of Immune Clearance Pathways and Improves Amyloid Pathology in Mouse Models of Alzheimer’s Disease
2022-07-02
Abstract excerpt
The most common genetic risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the APOE4 allele, with evidence for gain- and loss-of-function mechanisms. ApoE knockout in mice abrogates AD phenotypes but causes severe atherosclerosis due to the role of liver ApoE in cholesterol homeostasis. Previous attempts to inhibit brain-specific ApoE with anti-sense oligonucleotides only modestly reduced ApoE expression...
