Described are RNAi agents, compositions that include RNAi agents, and methods for inhibition of an alpha-ENaC (SCNN1A) gene. The alpha-ENaC RNAi agents and RNAi agent conjugates disclosed herein inhibit the expression of an alpha-ENaC gene. Pharmaceutical compositions that include one or more alpha-ENaC RNAi agents, optionally with one or more additional therapeutics, are also described. Delivery of the described alpha-ENaC RNAi agents to epithelial cells, such as pulmonary epithelial cells, in vivo, provides for inhibition of alpha-ENaC gene expression and a reduction in ENaC activity, which can provide a therapeutic benefit to subjects, including human subjects.
本文描述了 RNAi 制剂、包括 RNAi 制剂的组合物以及抑制 alpha-ENaC (SCNN1A)
基因的方法。本文公开的 alpha-ENaC RNAi 制剂和 RNAi 制剂共轭物可抑制 alpha-ENaC
基因的表达。还描述了包括一种或多种α-ENaC RNAi 制剂的药物组合物,这些药物组合物可选择与一种或多种其它治疗剂一起使用。在体内将所述 alpha-ENaC RNAi 制剂递送至上皮细胞(如肺上皮细胞),可抑制 alpha-ENaC
基因的表达并降低 ENaC 活性,从而为受试者(包括人类受试者)带来治疗益处。
