The invention belongs to the technical field of medicines and
disease treatment, and particularly relates to application of antisense
oligonucleotide small molecules in preparation of medicines for improving
fatty liver. The antisense
oligonucleotide small molecule is GalNAC-APJASO, and the GalNAC-APJASO is obtained after the 3'
tail end of APJASO is subjected to GalNAC
coupling modification, and the 3 '
tail end of APJASO is subjected to GalNAC
coupling modification. The
base sequence of the APJ ASO is as shown in SEQ ID NO. 1. In-vivo experiments prove that the GalNAC-APJASO has a positive
treatment effect on the non-
alcoholic fatty liver disease, and particularly, the GalNAC-APJASO obviously improves the symptoms of the non-
alcoholic fatty liver disease of mice, improves the glucose tolerance and
insulin tolerance of the mice, improves the fatty degeneration of the liver, reduces the
lipid accumulation of the liver, reduces the
triglyceride level of the liver and inhibits fat
cell hypertrophy, so that the GalNAC-APJASO can be used for treating the non-
alcoholic fatty liver disease of the mice. A candidate
medicine is provided for treating the non-alcoholic
fatty liver disease and related symptoms thereof. In addition, the GalNAC-APJASO specifically targets the
liver tissue, compared with existing drugs for treating the non-alcoholic
fatty liver disease, toxic and side effects are smaller, and compared with the prior art, remarkable progress is achieved.
