摘要 |
RNA interference is provided for inhibition of histamine receptor H1 mRNA expression, in particular, for treating patients having an HRH1-related condition or at risk of developing an HRH1-related condition such as allergic conjunctivitis, ocular inflammation, dermatitis, rhinitis, asthma, or allergy. |

1. A method of attenuating expression of histamine receptor H1 mRNA of a subject, comprising:
administering to the subject a composition comprising an effective amount of interfering RNA having a length of 19 to 49 nucleotides and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, the interfering RNA comprising an RNA selected from the group consisting of:
a region of at least 13 contiguous nucleotides having at least 90% sequence complementarity to, or at least 90% sequence identity with, the penultimate 13 nucleotides of the 3′ end of an mRNA corresponding to any one of SEQ ID NO:2 and SEQ ID NO:13-SEQ ID NO:50;a region of at least 14 contiguous nucleotides having at least 85% sequence complementarity to, or at least 85% sequence identity with, the penultimate 14 nucleotides of the 3′ end of an mRNA corresponding to any one of SEQ ID NO:2 and SEQ ID NO:13-SEQ ID NO:50; and,a region of at least 15, 16, 17, or 18 contiguous nucleotides having at least 80% sequence complementarity to, or at least 80% sequence identity with, the penultimate 15, 16, 17, or 18 nucleotides, respectively, of the 3′ end of an mRNA corresponding to any one of SEQ ID NO:2 and SEQ ID NO:13-SEQ ID NO:50, wherein the expression of histamine receptor H1 mRNA is attenuated thereby. |
