Abstract

See full text

Provided herein are compositions, methods and kits for modulating expression of target genes, particularly of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 and of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 2 (TIMP1 and TIMP2, respectively). The compositions, methods and kits may include nucleic acid molecules (for example, short interfering nucleic acid (siNA), short interfering RNA (siRNA), double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), micro-RNA (miRNA) or short hairpin RNA (shRNA)) that modulate a gene encoding TIMP1 and TIMP2, for example, the gene encoding human TIMP1 and TIMP2. The composition and methods disclosed herein may also be used in treating conditions and disorders associated with TIMP1 and TIMP2 including fibrotic diseases and disorders including liver fibrosis, pulmonary fibrosis, peritoneal fibrosis and kidney fibrosis.
