Gene therapy and virotherapy: novel therapeutic approaches for brain tumors.
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a deadly primary brain tumor in adults, with a median survival of ~12-18 months post-diagnosis. Despite recent advances in conventional therapeutic approaches, only modest improvements in median survival have been achieved; GBM usually recurs within 12 months post-resection, with poor prognosis. Thus, novel therapeutic strategies to target and kill GBM cells are...
متن کاملMicroRNA-regulated transgene expression systems for gene therapy and virotherapy.
For safe and effective gene therapy, targeted tissue-restricted transgene expression is desirable. Various methods have been developed to achieve such expression, including the use of tissue-specific promoters. In addition to these approaches, a new system which can regulate transgene expression, including viral gene expression, by exploiting microRNAs (miRNAs) has recently been developed. miRN...
متن کاملVirotherapy: cancer gene therapy at last?
For decades, effective cancer gene therapy has been a tantalising prospect; for a therapeutic modality potentially able to elicit highly effective and selective responses, definitive efficacy outcomes have often seemed out of reach. However, steady progress in vector development and accumulated experience from previous clinical studies has finally led the field to its first licensed therapy. Fo...
متن کاملAdenovirus-mediated cancer gene therapy and virotherapy (Review).
Gene therapy and virotherapy are among the approaches currently used to treat malignant tumors. Gene therapy and virotherapy use a specific therapeutic gene that causes death in cancer cells. In early attempts at gene therapy, therapeutic genes were driven by ubiquitous promoters such as the CMV promoter, which induce non-specific toxicity to normal cells and tissues in addition to the cancer c...
متن کاملTargeting gene-virotherapy for cancer.
Gene therapy and viral therapy for cancer have therapeutic effects, but there has been no significant breakthrough in these two forms of therapy. Therefore, a new strategy called "targeting gene-virotherapy", which combines the advantages of gene therapy and viral therapy, has been formulated. This new therapy has stronger antitumor effects than either gene therapy or viral therapy. A tumor-spe...
