Adenoviral Vectors for Hemophilia Gene Therapy
Hemophilia is an inherited blood clotting disorder resulting from deficiency of blood coagulation factors. Current standard of care for hemophilia patients is frequent intravenous infusions of the missing coagulation factor. Gene therapy for hemophilia involves the introduction of a normal copy of the deficient coagulation factor gene thereby potentially offering a definitive cure for the bleed...
متن کاملTargeting adenoviral vectors for enhanced gene therapy of uterine leiomyomas.
STUDY QUESTION Is targeted adenovirus vector, Ad-SSTR-RGD-TK (Adenovirus -human somatostatin receptor subtype 2- arginine, glycine and aspartate-thymidine kinase), given in combination with ganciclovir (GCV) against immortalized human leiomyoma cells (HuLM) a potential therapy for uterine fibroids? SUMMARY ANSWER Ad-SSTR-RGD-TK/GCV, a targeted adenovirus, effectively reduces cell growth in Hu...
متن کاملHelper-dependent adenoviral vectors in experimental gene therapy.
In the majority of potential applications gene therapy will require an effective transfer of a transgene in vivo resulting in high-level and long-term transgene expression, all in the absence of significant toxicity or inflammatory responses. The most efficient vehicles for delivery of foreign genes to the target tissues are modified adenoviruses. Adenoviral vectors of the first generation, des...
متن کاملGene therapy of Osteosarcoma Preclinical studies with adenoviral vectors and adenoviral oncolysis
Despite improvement in the treatment of osteosarcoma there are still many patients who cannot benefit from current treatment modalities. This warrants exploration of new treatment options. To that end, we investigated Gene-Directed Enzyme Prodrug Therapy (GDEPT) with the use of human liver carboxylesterase-2 (CE2) and the anticancer agent CPT-11. CPT-11 is a clinically approved prodrug that nee...
متن کاملBeta thalassemia gene therapy using lentiviral vectors
Recent years, allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) has proved to be the successful cure for patients with thalassemia major, however this is restricted due to limited matched-related donor. Its complications include chronic graft-versus-host disease in 5-8% of patients. So, a molecular approach, such as gene therapy for direct normal beta globin gene transmission, seems quite promising ...
