Molecular therapy. Nucleic acids 20180806
The incidence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is increasing. Nucleic acid-based medicine has potential as a next-generation treatment, but it is rarely successful with IBD. The aim of this study was to establish a microRNA-based therapy in an IBD model. For this purpose, we used microRNA-29 (miR-29) and a supercarbonate apatite (sCA) nanoparticle as a drug delivery system. Injection of sCA-miR-29a-3p or sCA-miR-29b-3p into mouse tail veins markedly prevented and restored inflammation because ...[more]
