Gene transfer approaches for gynecological diseases.
Gene transfer presents a potentially useful approach for the treatment of diseases refractory to conventional therapies. Various preclinical and clinical strategies have been explored for treatment of gynecological diseases. Given the direst need for novel treatments, much of the work has been performed with gynecological cancers and ovarian cancer in particular. Although the safety of many app...
متن کاملAntioxidant Enzyme Activities and Antioxidant Enzyme Gene Expression in Hyperoxia-induced Lung Injury in Premature Rat
Preterm infants exposed to high concentration oxygen are prone to develop hyperoxic lung damage, which is an importan t underly ing cause of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD).1 Although the causative agent for BPD has not been conclusively identified, hyperoxia-induced lung injury i s bel ieved to be a major factor. Data from both cellu lar and whole animal models suggest that hyperoxic lung dam...
متن کاملAdenovirus-mediated gene transfer to ischemic brain: ischemic flow threshold for transgene expression.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Gene therapy may be a promising approach for treatment of brain ischemia, although protein synthesis is generally inhibited in ischemic conditions. Our goal in this study was to examine effects of brain ischemia on transgene expression of adenovirus-mediated gene transfer to ischemic brain. METHODS Brain ischemia was produced by photochemical occlusion of the distal mid...
متن کاملEnhancement mechanism of antioxidant enzyme gene expression by hydrogen molecules
Background Redox regulation system protects our body from oxidative stress-injury and keeps redox homeostasis. The hydrogen molecules (H2) exist as stable gas in the ordinal temperature and atmosphere. Recent study reports H2 improve ischemia-reperfusion injury, glaucoma, Parkinson’s disease and atherosclerosis of animal models. It is supposed from these improvement results that H2 participate ...
متن کاملTolerance of rats to hyperoxia. Lung antioxidant enzyme gene expression.
Tolerance to hyperoxia usually requires an increase of lung antioxidant enzyme (AOE) activity. We used rats with different degrees of tolerance to > 95% O2 to evaluate the importance of individual AOEs for tolerance; we also explored the regulation of AOE gene expression. During exposure of adult rats to > 95% O2, lung manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) activity fell approximately 50% despi...
