An RNAi therapeutic targeting Tmprss6 decreases iron overload in Hfe -/- mice and ameliorates anemia and iron overload in murine β-thalassemia intermedia

TL;DR: In this article, lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) were used to formulate Tmprss6 siRNA to increase hepatic expression of the iron-regulatory hormone hepcidin.

RED CELLS, IRON, AND ERYTHROPOIESIS An RNAi therapeutic targeting Tmprss6 decreases iron overload in Hfe / mice and ameliorates anemia and iron overload in murine -thalassemia intermedia

TL;DR: The results indicate that pharmacologic manipulation of Tmprss6 with RNAi therapeutics is a practical approach to treating iron overload diseases associated with diminished hepcidin expression and may have efficacy in modifying disease-associated morbidities of -thalassemia intermedia.
