  • NOVEL SHRNA GENE THERAPY FOR TREATMENT OF ISCHEMIC HEART DISEASE
    Publication number: 20120004283
    Abstract: Short hairpin RNA (shRNA) interference therapy targeting hypoxia inducible factor—lot (HIF-1 ?) prolyl-4-hydroxylase protein (HIF-PHD2) is used for treatment of myocardial ischemia. This treatment can be followed noninvasively by molecular imaging. Provided are compositions comprising novel vectors encoding shRNA targeting the HIF-1? and asparaginyl hydroxylase genes. The vectors encoding shRNA are also useful for the treatment of cardiac diseases, peripheral vascular diseases and decubitis ulcers.
