PRODUCTS AND METHODS FOR INHIBITION OF EXPRESSION OF MUTANT GARS PROTEIN
RNA interference-based methods and products for inhibiting the expression of mutant Glycyl-tRNA Synthetase (GARS) genes are provided. Delivery vehicles such as recombinant adeno-associated viruses deliver DMAs encoding GARS microRNAs, as well as a replacement GARS gene that is resistant to knock down by the microRNAs. The methods have application in the treatment of N diseases or disorders associated with mutant GARS including, but not limited to, Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease Type 2D (CMT2D).
Therapeutic compositions including frataxin, lactoferrin, and mitochondrial energy generating enzymes, and uses thereof
Disclosed herein are methods and compositions for the treatment and/or prevention of diseases or conditions comprising administration of a therapeutic biological molecule, and/or naturally or artificially occurring derivatives, analogues, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, alone or in combination with one or more active agents (e.g., an aromatic-cationic peptide). The present technology provides compositions related to aromatic-cationic peptides linked to a therapeutic biological molecule and uses of the same. In some embodiments, the aromatic-cationic peptide comprises 2′,6′-dimethyl-Tyr-D-Arg-Phe-Lys-NH.sub.2, Phe-D-Arg-Phe-Lys-NH.sub.2, or D-Arg-2′,6′-Dmt-Lys-Phe-NH.sub.2.
