Inclisiran (ALN-PCSsc) is a double-stranded small interfering RNA (siRNA) molecule that inhibits the transcription of PCSK-9. Inclisiran can be used for hyperlipidemia and cardiovascular disease (CVD) research.
IC50&Target
PPARγ IL-1β Caspase-1 NLRP3
体外研究
Inclisiran is a double-stranded small RNA molecule that works by blocking the transcription of proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin 9 (PCSK-9), leading to a reduction of PCSK-9 levels in the hepatocytes, resulting in an increased expression of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptors in the hepatocyte membrane and, as a consequence, it reduces the circulating levels of LDL cholesterol (LDL-C).
体内研究
Inclisiran (1-10 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection; every 20 weeks) inhibits the progression of atherosclerosis and the expression of pyroptosis-related factors in ApoE-/- mice induced by a high-fat diet.
Animal Model:
Male ApoE-/- mice (8 weeks old, 17-20 g); high-fat diet (HFD)-induced atherosclerosis model
Dosage:
1, 5, 10 mg/kg (dissolved in PBS)
Administration:
Intraperitoneal injection; 20 weeks
Result:
Significantly reduced LDL-C, TC, TG, and increased HDL-C in plasma.
Decreased aortic plaque area and lipid deposition.
Decreased pyroptosis-related factors (NLRP3, ASC, GSDMD, IL-1β, IL-18).
