Optimizing hyaluronidase dose and plasmid DNA delivery greatly improves gene electrotransfer efficiency in rat skeletal muscle
Transfection of rat skeletal muscle in vivo is a widely used research model. However, gene electrotransfer protocols have been developed for mice and yield variable results in rats. We investigated whether changes in hyaluronidase pre-treatment and plasmid DNA delivery can improve transfection efficiency in rat skeletal muscle. We found that pre-treating the muscle with a hyaluronidase dose sui...
متن کاملPluronic® L64-mediated stable HIF-1α expression in muscle for therapeutic angiogenesis in mouse hindlimb ischemia
Intramuscular injection of plasmid DNA (pDNA) to express a therapeutic protein is a promising method for the treatment of many diseases. However, the therapeutic applications are usually hindered by gene delivery efficiency and expression level. In this study, critical factors in a pDNA-based gene therapy system, such as gene delivery materials, a therapeutic gene, and its regulatory elements, ...
متن کاملNumerical optimization of gene electrotransfer into muscle tissue
BACKGROUND Electroporation-based gene therapy and DNA vaccination are promising medical applications that depend on transfer of pDNA into target tissues with use of electric pulses. Gene electrotransfer efficiency depends on electrode configuration and electric pulse parameters, which determine the electric field distribution. Numerical modeling represents a fast and convenient method for optim...
متن کاملGreen and efficient synthesis of propargylamines via A3 coupling reaction using a copper (II)–thioamide combination
A one pot green three‐component coupling reaction of aldehyde, phenylacetylene, and amine derivatives in the presence of copper (II)–thioamide combination as a novel and efficient heterogeneous catalyst under solvent–free conditions is reported. The catalyst displayed high activity and afforded the corresponding propargylamines in good to high yields. The key to this procedure was the generatio...
متن کاملGene transfer of connexin43 into skeletal muscle.
Cellular cardiomyoplasty using skeletal myoblasts may be beneficial for infarct repair. One drawback to skeletal muscle cells is their lack of gap junction expression after differentiation, thus preventing electrical coupling to host cardiomyocytes. We sought to overexpress the gap junction protein connexin43 (Cx43) in differentiated skeletal myotubes, using retroviral, adenoviral, and plasmid-...
