Catheter-mediated pulmonary vascular gene transfer and expression.
The study and treatment of pulmonary diseases may be greatly facilitated by in vivo expression of specific recombinant genes in the pulmonary vasculature and lung parenchyma. To evaluate the feasibility of gene transfer to the pulmonary vasculature, cationic liposomes and adenoviral vectors encoding a human placental alkaline phosphatase (hpAP) gene were delivered into a pulmonary artery of 24 ...
متن کاملEfficient and selective adenovirus-mediated gene transfer into vascular neointima.
BACKGROUND Previous attempts to target arterial smooth muscle cells (SMCs) for gene delivery using liposomal or retroviral methods were limited by low transfection efficiency. We therefore evaluated the efficiency of adenovirus-mediated gene delivery in cultured vascular SMCs and in an in vivo model of balloon injury-induced SMC cell proliferation. METHODS AND RESULTS We used a recombinant ad...
متن کاملInduction of pulmonary angiogenesis by adenoviral-mediated gene transfer of vascular endothelial growth factor.
BACKGROUND We hypothesized that gene transfer of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) mediated by an adenovirus vector might induce pulmonary artery angiogenesis in a lamb model of pulmonary artery hypoplasia. METHODS Thirteen fetal lambs had left pulmonary artery banding at 106 days of gestation. Following birth, 3 groups were divided: VEGF group (n = 5) and beta-GAL group (n = 4) recei...
متن کاملThe Demonstration of Polyethylenimine Mediated Gene Transfer into the Rodent Hypothalamus Results in Persistent Over-Expression and Phenotypic Change
Polyethylenimine (PEI) has been proposed as a non-viral vector, and has been successfully used to transfer reporter genes into the central nervous system (CNS), kidneys, and lungs of adult mice. Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a peptide expressed in the hypothalamus and is important in the regulation of body weight. Using PEI combined with stereotactic microinjection, we have successfully transferred c...
متن کاملVascular cell adhesion molecule-1 augments adenovirus-mediated gene transfer.
We have reported that adenovirus-mediated gene transfer is augmented in the endothelium of atherosclerotic blood vessels. We observed that vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) shares some homology with the coxsackievirus and adenovirus receptor. Because VCAM-1 is upregulated on atherosclerotic endothelial cells, we hypothesized that VCAM-1 may act as an auxiliary receptor to augment adeno...
