The present application relates to novel methods for treating obesity. Some aspects pertain to the use of gene therapy to treat diseases related to metabolic dysfunction, such as diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure, and atherogenic dyslipidemia. The present application also pertains to the use of vectors such as a recombinant adeno-associated virus (AAV) to deliver a gene that can increase or decrease expression of a therapeutic protein of interest, e.g., in cells in a specific region of the brain associated with metabolic dysfunction. The present application also discloses the use of vectors such as a recombinant adeno-associated virus for the delivery of small interference RNA's (siRNAs) capable of decreasing expression of a deleterious protein involved in the disorder. Other related aspects, including compositions related to such methods, are also disclosed.

L'invention concerne des nouvelles méthodes de traitement de l'obésité. Certains aspects portent sur l'utilisation de la thérapie génique pour le traitement de pathologies liées à un dysfonctionnement du métabolisme telles que le diabète, l'hypertension artérielle ou la dyslipidémie athérogène. Ladite invention concerne également l'utilisation de vecteurs tels que le virus adéno-associé (AAV) recombinant pour l'administration d'un gène capable d'accroître ou d'atténuer l'expression d'une protéine thérapeutique d'intérêt, notamment dans les cellules d'une région spécifique du cerveau associé à un dysfonctionnement métabollique. Cette invention concerne également l'emploi de vecteurs tel que virus adéno-associé recombinant pour l'administration d'un petit ARN d'interférent capable de réduire l'expression d'une protéine délétère impliquée dans le trouble. Sont également décrits d'autres aspects, dont des compositions en rapport avec de telles méthodes.
