Foamy Virus Vectors for HIV Gene Therapy
Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) has vastly improved outcomes for patients infected with HIV, yet it is a lifelong regimen that is expensive and has significant side effects. Retroviral gene therapy is a promising alternative treatment for HIV/AIDS; however, inefficient gene delivery to hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) has so far limited the efficacy of this approach. Foamy virus (FV...
متن کاملThe future of HIV infection: gene therapy and RNA interference.
The description of the mechanism of RNA interference (RNAi) has generated enormous interest in the biomedical field. A previously unrecognized pathway in which small interfering, 21 to 23 mer, double-stranded RNA (siRNA) mediates sequence-specific degradation of mRNA is becoming one the most useful techniques in cell biology and genetics research. Based on the potency, specificity and physiolog...
متن کاملGene therapy using adeno-associated virus vectors.
SUMMARY The unique life cycle of adeno-associated virus (AAV) and its ability to infect both nondividing and dividing cells with persistent expression have made it an attractive vector. An additional attractive feature of the wild-type virus is the lack of apparent pathogenicity. Gene transfer studies using AAV have shown significant progress at the level of animal models; clinical trials have ...
متن کاملRNA Wave for the HIV Therapy: Foods, Stem Cells and the RNA Information Gene
The microRNA (miRNA) gene is small RNA molecule, approximate 20 nucleotides (nts) in length, and also the miRNA is information in a cell as well as the mobile genetic information; therefore, when only one kind of tumor suppressor RNA information gene (Rig) was intravenously administrated, tumorigenic cells can be retuned to the normal cells in vivo. Although the processes of oncogenic have mult...
متن کاملNEW CHALLENGES FOR HIV INFECTION The future of HIV infection: gene therapy and RNA interference
In recent years, the contribution of chemotherapy to infection by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has been extremely significant with regard to survival and improvement of quality of life. Nevertheless, a cure for this infection remains an uncertain objective as the virus cannot be completely eliminated, but remains latent and able to reactivate in a small cell reservoir. Consequently, a...
