The present disclosure relates to RNAi agents, e.g., double stranded RNAi agents, able to inhibit Angiopoietin-like 3 (also called ANGPTL3, ANGPL3, angiopoietin-like protein 3) gene expression, and compositions that include ANGPTL3 RNAi agents. Also disclosed are methods of use of ANGPTL3 RNAi agents and compositions. The ANGPTL3 RNAi agents disclosed herein may be conjugated to targeting ligands to facilitate the delivery to cells, including to hepatocytes. Pharmaceutical compositions that include one or more ANGPTL3 RNAi agents, optionally with one or more additional therapeutics, are described. Delivery of the ANGPTL3 RNAi agents in vivo provides for inhibition of ANGPTL3 gene expression, and can result in lower triglycerides and/or cholesterol levels in the subject. The RNAi agents can be used in methods of treatment of ANGPTL3-related diseases and disorders, including cardiometabolic diseases such as hypertriglyceridemia and hyperlipidemia.
本公开涉及能够抑制血管生成素样3(又称ANGPTL3、ANGPL3、血管生成素样蛋白3)基因表达的RNAi制剂,如双链RNAi制剂,以及包括ANGPTL3 RNAi制剂的组合物。还公开了ANGPTL3 RNAi制剂和组合物的使用方法。本文公开的 ANGPTL3 RNAi 制剂可与靶向配体连接,以促进向细胞(包括肝细胞)的递送。本文描述了包括一种或多种 ANGPTL3 RNAi 制剂的药物组合物,可选择与一种或多种其它治疗药物一起使用。在体内递送 ANGPTL3 RNAi 制剂可抑制 ANGPTL3 基因的表达,从而降低受试者体内甘油三酯和/或胆固醇的水平。RNAi 制剂可用于治疗 ANGPTL3 相关疾病和失调,包括高甘油三酯血症和高脂血症等心脏代谢疾病。
