Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention related to identification of therapeutic agents of the treatment, diagnosis, and prevention of pulmonary hypertension.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of treating hypoxic-induced pulmonary hypertension in a subject, the method comprising inhibiting ZIP12 protein levels by genetic disruption of the Slc39a12 gene using a Zinc finger nuclease technolog, or inhibiting Slc39a12 gene expression using an interfering nucleic acid, wherein the interfering nucleic acid is an antisense oligonucleotide, an siRNA, or a dsRNA, in a subject in need of such treatment. 2. A method according to claim 1 , wherein the method comprisesinhibiting Slc39a12 gene expression using the interfering nucleicacid, wherein the interfering nucleicacid is the antisense oligonucleotide, the siRNA, or the dsRNA. 3. A method according to claim 1 , wherein the antisense oligonucleotide, siRNA, or dsRNA specifically bindstoa portion of the mRNA product of Slc39a12. 4. A method according to claim 1 , whereinthe method comprises disrupting the Slc39a12 gene by usingthe Zincfingernuclease technology. 5. A method according to claim 1 , whereinthe Slc39a12 gene is disrupted or the Slc39a12 gene expression isinhibited, bytargeting exon 8 ofthe Slc39a12 gene.
