Low-frequency ultrasound increases non-viral gene transfer to the mouse lung.
The aim of the study was to assess if low-frequency ultrasound (US), in the range of 30-35 kHz, increases non-viral gene transfer to the mouse lung. US is greatly attenuated in the lung due to large energy losses at the air/tissue interfaces. The advantages of low-frequency US, compared with high-frequency US are: (i) increased cavitation (responsible for the formation of transient pores in the...
متن کاملLOW INTENSITY PULSED ULTRASOUND TREATMENT INCREASES RABBIT RADIAL FRACTURE HEALING
In order to study the effect of ultrasound (US) on bone healing, a complete transverse fracture was made in the right radius of adult male rabbits by a cutter. 52 rabbits were used: group I. control (n= 17): group 2. test (n:=: 15): group 3, intact (n= I) and group 4 (n= 12) who were examined only for evaluation of the cutter effects in detail. 7 animals were operated with a Gigli saw. The ...
متن کاملChallenges in non-viral ocular gene transfer.
Nowadays, there is no effective treatment for many retinal disorders. Knowledge of the genetic basis of many severe ocular diseases may allow for alternative treatments by gene therapy. Non-viral gene complexes, such as lipo- and poly-plexes, can be delivered to the posterior segment, most often the target tissue, by intravitreal or subretinal injection. Since subretinal injections are very inv...
متن کاملTransposons for Non-Viral Gene Transfer
DNA based transposon vectors offer a mechanism for non-viral gene delivery into mamma‐ lian and human cells. These vectors work via a cut-and-paste mechanim whereby transpo‐ son DNA containing a transgene(s) of interest is integrated into chromosomal DNA by a transposase enzyme. The first DNA based transposon system which worked efficienty in human cells was sleeping beauty. This was followed a...
متن کاملPredictive modeling of non-viral gene transfer.
In non-viral gene delivery, the variance of transgenic expression stems from the low number of plasmids successfully transferred. Here, we experimentally determine Lipofectamine- and PEI-mediated exogenous gene expression distributions from single cell time-lapse analysis. Broad Poisson-like distributions of steady state expression are observed for both transfection agents, when used with synch...
