Hyperuricemia is associated with an increased risk of gout, hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. Most mammals maintain normal serum uric acid (SUA) via urate oxidase (Uox), enzyme that metabolizes poorly-soluble UA to highly-soluble allantoin. In contrast, Uox became a pseudogene in humans apes over the long course evolution. Here we demonstrate atavistic strategy for treating hyperuricemia based on endogenous expression hepatocytes mediated by mRNA (mUox) loaded ionizable...
