Patent

CA 2389237

Methods and compounds are disclosed for lowering serum LDL levels or serum cholesterol levels, or for reducing the transport of cholesterol from the gut to the blood or the lymph, based on the observation that a gene known as ABC1 is necessary in order for cholesterol to be transported from the intestinal lumen into the bloodstream. A mutant chicken phenotype, known as the WHAM chicken, characterized by low levels of serum LDL and reduced transport of cholesterol, facilitated the discovery of this function of the ABC1 gene. Techniques which act to inhibit ABC1 activity in the cells of the intestinal wall will result in lower serum cholesterol.

L'invention concerne des compositions et procédés destinées à abaisser le taux de lipoprotéines à basse densité (LDL) ou de cholestérol dans le sérum ou pour réduire le transport de cholestérol depuis l'intestin vers le sang ou la lymphe. Elle est fondée sur une observation selon laquelle un gène connu sous la désignation d'ABC1 est nécessaire au transport du cholestérol depuis la lumière intestinale vers le flux sanguin. Un phénotype de poule mutante connu sous le nom de poule WHAM, caractérisé par des taux réduits de LDL dans le sérum et le transport réduit de cholestérol, a facilité la découverte de cette fonction du gène ABC1. Les techniques permettant de réduire l'activité d'ABC1 dans les cellules de la paroi intestinale permettent d'abaisser le taux de cholestérol.
