The present application relates to the application of GBP4
gene silencing preparation in the preparation of drugs for preventing and treating atherosclerosis, and belongs to the technical field of biological
medicine. In order to solve the technical problems that the existing atherosclerosis treatment target is single, cannot target regulate chronic
inflammation of blood vessels, and is difficult to suppress
disease progression from the root, the present application provides the application of GBP4
gene silencing preparation in the preparation of drugs for preventing and treating atherosclerosis, and the
gene silencing preparation is a recombinant
lentivirus vector carrying shRNA targeting GBP4. The present application first finds that GBP4 is a positive
regulator of atherosclerosis, and the GBP4
gene silencing preparation can reduce the area of atherosclerotic plaque,
delay the occurrence and development of atherosclerosis; increase the thickness of the fibrous cap of the plaque, enhance the stability of the plaque, and reduce the risk of
plaque rupture; at the same time, reduce the
systemic inflammation level, reduce the
inflammatory response of the
blood vessel wall, and have important clinical application value and broad market prospect.
