ABSTRACT:
The invention provided for a method of directly and specifically transcriptionally modulating the expression of a gene encoding a protein of interest associated with treatment of one or more symptoms of a cardiovascular disease such as atherosclerosis, restenosis or hypertension.
Further provided is a method of determining whether a molecule not previously known to be a modulator of protein biosynthesis is capable of directly and specifically transcriptionally modulating the expression of a gene encoding a protein of interest associated with treatment of one or more symptoms of a cardiovascular disease.
Lastly, the invention provides a method of directly and specifically transcriptionally modulating in a human being the expression of a gene encoding a protein of interest associated with treatment of one or more symptoms of a cardiovascular disease, thus ameliorating the disease.
