    摘要: The invention relates to double-stranded ribonucleic acid (dsRNA) compositions targeting the angiopoietin-like 4 (ANGPTL4) gene, as well as methods of inhibiting expression of ANGPTL4, and methods of treating subjects that would benefit from reduction in expression of ANGPTL4, such as subjects having an ANGPTL4-associated disease, disorder, or condition, using such dsRNA compositions.

    摘要: Ocular Rosacea (OR) is a chronic inflammatory and neurovascular diseases of the ocular surface and eyelids, associated with abnormal tear film lipids that can lead to corneal neovascularization, loss of transparency and ulceration. Here, the inventors show that the combination of mineralocorticoid receptor blockade in association with local ocular glucocorticoids that have high GR binding affinity, have superior effects as compared to MR blockade alone, without the side effects of glucocorticoids on corneal wound healing. The combination of MR antagonist and low dose of a GR activator further reduces corneal edema, corneal neovascularization and improves corneal wound healing. The combination of MR antagonist and triamcinolone that has a strong GR binding affinity reinforces the beneficial effects of MR antagonists. Finally, the inventors show that MR is overexpressed in ocular surface tissues and Meibomian glands of patients with ocular rosacea, and that transgenic rats that over express the human MR have molecular markers in their meibomian glands, similar to those of patients with OR. Thus, MR antagonists and GR agonist with strong GR affinity is a suitable combination for the treatment of OR.
