Neuronal birthdate-specific gene transfer with adenoviral vectors.
The multilayered structure of the cerebral cortex has been studied in detail. Early-born neurons migrate into the inner layer and late-born neurons migrate into more superficial layers, thus establishing an inside-out gradient. The progenitor cells appear to acquire layer-specific properties at the time of neuronal birth; however, the molecular mechanisms of cell-fate acquisition are still uncl...
متن کاملAdenoviral and Adeno-Associated Viral Vectors-Mediated Neuronal Gene Transfer to Cardiovascular Control Regions of the Rat Brain
Viral vectors have been utilized extensively to introduce genetic material into the central nervous system. In order to investigate gene functions in cardiovascular control regions of rat brain, we applied WPRE (woodchuck hepatitis virus post-transcriptional regulatory element) enhanced-adenoviral (Ad) and adeno-assoicated virus (AAV) type 2 vectors to mediate neuronal gene delivery to the para...
متن کاملAdenoviral 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 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 کاملDirect in vivo gene transfer into porcine myocardium using replication-deficient adenoviral vectors.
BACKGROUND Efficient methods of introducing genes into myocardial cells must be developed before local somatic cell gene therapy can be implemented against myocardial disease. Although adenoviral (Ad5) vectors have been used to target rodent hearts and plasmid DNA has been directly injected into the myocardium of rats and dogs, the amounts of recombinant protein produced by these procedures hav...
