Problems solved by technology

However, the current research is still limited to the role of FXR transcriptional activity in diseases, ignoring the role of FXR expression in the physiological and pathological process of the liver; therefore, it is also limited to the development of reagents that regulate FXR transcriptional activity, while ignoring the intervention of FXR expression Reagents, including drugs and genes (viral and non-viral vectors) and other reagents

Abstract

The present invention relates to the field of biomedicine. The present invention provides application of a farnesoid X receptor (FXR) expression interference reagent in preparation of anti-hepatic fibrosis drugs. Specifically, the present invention relates to application of FXR for treatment of hepatic fibrosis, by tail intravenous injection of the farnesoid X receptor (FXR) expression interference reagent (namely, an adenovirus carrying FXR plasmid) to mice, the expression level of the FXR in hepatocytes is significantly increased, CCl4-induced hepatic fibrosis can be significantly countered,hepatocyte morphology and structural integrity can be maintained, and serum transaminase level can be reduced. A new approach for clinical treatment of liver diseases especially hepatic fibrosis is provided.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of biomedicine. Specifically, the present invention belongs to gene medicine in the field of biopharmaceuticals, and in particular relates to a gene therapy drug against liver fibrosis, that is, using a recombinant adenovirus carrying farnesoid X receptor (FXR) in the preparation of liver Application in drugs for the prevention and treatment of fibrotic diseases. technical background [0002] The incidence of liver diseases, especially viral hepatitis, fatty liver disease, liver fibrosis and liver cancer, remains high worldwide. For example, the incidence rate of NAFLD among ordinary adults in Europe and America is 20-33%, and the incidence rate among obese people reaches 60-90%; the prevalence rate of ordinary adults in China is about 15% (Fan J G, Farrell G C. non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in China. Journal of Hepatology, 2009, 50(1): 204-10.). Liver fibrosis (Fibrosis) is a pathological state, which ...
