Data from a preclinical study assessing Mission Therapeutics Ltd.’s clinical-stage USP30 inhibitor MTX-652, for the prevention of transverse aortic constriction (TAC)-induced cardiac hypertrophy and remodeling, were recently presented.
Recent findings have unveiled that 15-HETE is the endogenous agonist for G protein-coupled receptor 39 (GPR39) in vascular smooth cells, so researchers hypothesized that GPR39 could work as a therapeutic target in pulmonary arterial hypertension and its deletion might prevent the development of the disease.
Potent siRNAs against B4GALT1 were designed in silico and screened in vitro (Huh7 cells, primary mouse, human hepatocytes) as well as in vivo (C57BL/6 mice) for the selection of a lead Galomic siRNA.
