Abstract
Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to one or more compositions that upregulate the production of one or more sequences of micro-interfering ribonucleic acid (miRNA). The sequences of miRNA may be complementary to a sequence of target messenger RNA (mRNA) that encodes for translation of a target biomolecule and the miRNA can cause the target mRNA to be degraded or inactivated, thereby causing a decrease in bioavailability of the target biomolecule because it is degraded or inactivated by the miRNA, thereby decreasing the bioavailability of the target biomolecule within a subject that is administered the one or more compositions. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the target biomolecule is a serotonin receptor, such as serotonin receptor 5HT1a, 5HT1b, 5HT1d, 5HT1e, 5HT1f, 5HT2a, 5HT2b, 5HT2c, 5HT3, 5HT4, 5HT6, or 5HT7.
Claims (2)
1 . A composition that comprises a recombinant plasmid (RP) that comprises a sequence of nucleotides that is SEQ ID NO. 15.
2 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the RP is encapsulated in a protein coat, a lipid vesicle, or any combination thereof.
