    Abstract: Methods are provided for the treatment of cardiovascular or metabolic diseases characterized by elevated serum total cholesterol, elevated serum LDL-cholesterol, or elevated serum triglycerides, through the administration of an oligomeric compound which modulates the levels or activity of miR-122a. Further provided are methods for reducing hepatic steatosis or liver tissue triglyceride accumulation through the administration of an oligomeric compound which modulates the levels or activity of miR-122a. Such methods employ oligomeric compounds which hybridize with or sterically interfere with nucleic acid molecules comprising or encoding miR-122a. Such oligomeric compounds may include one or more modifications thereon, which may improve the activity, stability, or nuclease resistance of the oligomeric compound. These modified oligomeric compounds are used as single compounds or in compositions, including pharmaceutical compositions, to modulate or mimic the targeted nucleic acid comprising or encoding miR-122a.

    Abstract translation: 提供了通过施用调节miR-122a的水平或活性的寡聚化合物来治疗以血清总胆固醇升高,血清LDL-胆固醇升高或血清甘油三酯升高为特征的心血管或代谢疾病的方法。 还提供了通过施用调节miR-122a的水平或活性的寡聚化合物来减少肝脂肪变性或肝组织甘油三酯积聚的方法。 这样的方法使用与包含miR-122a或编码miR-122a的核酸分子杂交或空间干扰的寡聚化合物。 这样的低聚化合物可以包括其上的一个或多个修饰,其可以改善低聚化合物的活性,稳定性或核酸酶抗性。 这些改性的低聚化合物用作单一化合物或组合物,包括药物组合物,以调节或模拟包含或编码miR-122a的靶向核酸。
