Therapeutic silencing Spp1 in cardiac macrophages suppresses atrial fibrillation
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Atrial fibrillation (AFib) and the risk of its lethal complications are worsened by atrial fibrosis. A recent study implicates osteopontin (encoded by Spp1) secreted by atrial TREM2+ macrophages in this fibrosis. Here, we show that silencing Spp1 in TREM2+ cardiac macrophages using an antibody-siRNA conjugate (ARC) reduces atrial fibrosis and suppresses AFib, thus offering a new immunotherapy for this common arrhythmia.
