Kidney-specific Sonoporation-mediated Gene Transfer
Sonoporation can deliver agents to target local organs by systemic administration, while decreasing the associated risk of adverse effects. Sonoporation has been used for a variety of materials and in a variety of organs. Herein, we demonstrated that local sonoporation to the kidney can offer highly efficient transfer of oligonucleotides, which were systemically administrated to the tubular epi...
متن کاملKidney-specific transposon-mediated gene transfer in vivo
Methods enabling kidney-specific gene transfer in adult mice are needed to develop new therapies for kidney disease. We attempted kidney-specific gene transfer following hydrodynamic tail vein injection using the kidney-specific podocin and gamma-glutamyl transferase promoters, but found expression primarily in the liver. In order to achieve kidney-specific transgene expression, we tested direc...
متن کاملSonoporation: mechanistic insights and ongoing challenges for gene transfer.
Microbubbles first developed as ultrasound contrast agents have been used to assist ultrasound for cellular drug and gene delivery. Their oscillation behavior during ultrasound exposure leads to transient membrane permeability of surrounding cells, facilitating targeted local delivery. The increased cell uptake of extracellular compounds by ultrasound in the presence of microbubbles is attribut...
متن کاملKidney-specific gene targeting.
Gene targeting in mice is a powerful tool for identifying the in vivo functions of proteins and for producing new animal models of human diseases. In the conventional approach, the gene encoding a protein of interest is disrupted by homologous recombination in embryonic stem (ES) cells. Targeted ES cells are injected into blastocysts to produce chimeric mice, which are then bred to produce knoc...
متن کاملSperm-mediated gene transfer.
Since 1989, a new method for the production of transgenic animals has been available, namely sperm-mediated gene transfer (SMGT), based on the intrinsic ability of sperm cells to bind and internalise exogenous DNA molecules and to transfer them into the oocyte at fertilisation. We first described the SMGT procedure in a small animal model, with high efficiency reported in the mouse. In addition...
