RUNX1 inhibition via dominant negative mRNA construct for vitreoretinal disease
An mRNA construct encoding a fusion protein inhibitor of RUNX1, a transcription factor that drives epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR), could help treat PVR by reducing pathological epiretinal membrane growth.
In epiretinal membranes from PVR patients, RUNX1 expression was detected in all cell types within the tissue, and was associated with expression of EMT-associated genes. ...
