Intramuscular gene transfer of apolipoprotein E (ApoE) to reverse hyperlipidaemia and atherosclerosis in ApoE-deficient mice

Plasma ApoE has multiple atheroprotective actions, including clearance of cholesterol-rich remnant lipoproteins, and is an attractive gene therapy candidate to treat atherosclerosis. Here, I focus on the single intramuscular injection of an ApoE-expressing vector, non-viral DNA (plasmid) or adeno-as...
