Inhibition of liver-specific miR-122 using the antagomiR Miravirsen suppresses Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) replication.
Miravirsen is an antagomiR that targets miR-122 to treat Hepatitis C. This is a specialized medical treatment for a viral infection, distinct from general metabolic health advice.
ModerateSupportsMEDIUM confidence
MiR-122 is required for hepatitis C virus (HCV) replication (Jopling et al. 2005, 2008, Henke et al. 2008), and Miravirsen administration is able to suppress miR-122 expression and prevent HCV replication (Krutzfeldt et al. 2005, Ottosen et al. 2015).
Why this rating
Review paper citing multiple studies; Miravirsen is a known therapeutic candidate.
