The invention discloses an application of an inhibitor of a HAND2
gene or a HAND2
protein in preparation of an anti-
hepatic fibrosis drug, and relates to the technical field of biological medicines, the application of the inhibitor of the HAND2
gene or the HAND2
protein in preparation of the anti-
hepatic fibrosis drug, and the inhibitor is an inhibitor for inhibiting expression of the HAND2
gene or an inhibitor for inhibiting activity of the HAND2
protein; the inhibitor is selected from at least one of the following components: a
small molecule compound, siRNA, shRNA, antisense
oligonucleotide, a
nucleic acid aptamer, a
CRISPR gene editing
system or a
neutralizing antibody aiming at HAND2 protein and an
antigen binding fragment of the
neutralizing antibody; the inhibitor is siRNA (small interfering ribonucleic acid) or shRNA (short hairpin ribonucleic acid) of a targeted HAND2 gene; according to the application, the key effect of the HAND2 as a new target spot for treating the
hepatic fibrosis is confirmed, and the field blank is filled; a clear, specific and enforceable technical scheme is provided, the spanning from target spot discovery to therapeutic
drug application is realized, and a
solid basis is provided for developing novel drugs.
