摘要:
The present invention relates to antisense oligonucleotides that modulate the expression of and/or function of a Lipid transport and metabolism gene, in particular, by targeting natural antisense polynucleotides of a Lipid transport and metabolism gene. The invention also relates to the identification of these antisense oligonucleotides and their use in treating diseases and disorders associated with the expression of a Lipid transport and metabolism genes.

Disclosed is a new combination therapy to treat sickle cell disease (SCD) and thalassemia and their vascular acute and chronic complications by a therapy involving the combined administration of a compound improving HDL particle function and activity (i.e. increasing HDL/ ApoA1 levels), and liposoluble antioxidants xanthophylls (such as lutein, zeaxanthin, meso-zeaxanthin, astaxanthin). This method simultaneously and synergistically restores red blood cell function, normalizes red blood cell membrane cholesterol concentration and decreases oxidative stress both parameters being pathologically affected in SCD, thalassemia and diabetes secondary to low levels of plasma HDL and decreased absorption of dietary lipophilic antioxidant. Although it is known that HDL is involved in the selective and active intestinal uptake of liposoluble vitamins and antioxidants and that HDL uniquely removes excess membrane cholesterol from red blood cells, we discovered that the combination of an HDL therapeutic intervention together with a dietary supplement (as a free or fixed combination) of liposoluble antioxidants act synergistically for treating the rheological complications of sickle cell disease as well as thalassemia and subsequently will contribute to treating and preventing microvascular damages and associated pathologies (retinopathies, kidney failure, leg ulcer, priapism, acute chest syndrome, stroke etc.). Similarly Diabetes, which includes hemorheological abnormalities associated with high red blood cell membrane cholesterol and low plasma HDL antioxidant level will benefit from such combinations. Additional compounds affecting HDL are ApoA1 inducers, HDL and ApoA1 mimetics or (mimicking compounds) ApoA1 and ApoE analogues, Lecithin Cholesterol Acyl Transferase (LCAT) activators, CETP inhibitors and modulators, Peroxisome Proliferator Activated Receptor (PPAR) agonists, ATP Binding Cassette A1 (ABCA1) inducers, Niacin and analogues, Niacin Receptor agonists. Additional lipophilic antioxidants are tocopherols and tocotrienols.

A method of producing powder milk, said method comprising: (a) contacting milk or a fraction thereof with a lipid acyltransferase enzyme; and (b) drying the enzyme treated milk to produce powder milk; is disclosed. Powder milk products produced by the method and use of a lipid acyltransferase in the manufacture of powder milk for improving the rehydration properties, the perceptible sensory difference (smell and/or taste) and the flowability of the powder milk, and for reducing the cholesterol content and/or the free fatty acid content of the powder milk, and for reducing fouling of the equipment used in the manufacture of the powder milk, are also disclosed.
