Efficient Downregulation of

Downregulation of genes involved in the secondary pathology of Duchenne muscular dystrophy, for example, inflammation, fibrosis, and adiposis, is an interesting approach to ameliorate degeneration of muscle and replacement by fibrotic and adiposis tissue. Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) are able to downregulate target genes, however, delivery of siRNAs to skeletal muscle still remains a challenge. We investigated delivery of fully chemically modified, cholesterol-conjugated siRNAs targeting
