Gene mutations and molecularly targeted therapies in acute myeloid leukemia.
Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) can progress quickly and without treatment can become fatal in a short period of time. However, over the last 30 years fine-tuning of therapeutics have increased the rates of remission and cure. Cytogenetics and mutational gene profiling, combined with the option of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation offered in selected patients have further opti...
متن کاملEndothelium-targeted gene and cell-based therapies for cardiovascular disease.
Most common cardiovascular diseases are accompanied by endothelial dysfunction. Because of its predominant role in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease, the vascular endothelium is an attractive therapeutic target. The identification of promoter sequences capable of rendering endothelial-specific transgene expression together with the recent development of vectors with enhanced tropism fo...
متن کاملGene-targeted therapies for the central nervous system.
T he identification of the genes and proteins involved in many neurodegenerative diseases offers the exciting possibility of modifying those disease-linked proteins to develop novel, targeted therapies for diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or Huntington disease. In many of these diseases, the simplest modification— decreasing the amount of the offending protein—may represent ...
متن کاملMulti-gene targeted antiangiogenic therapies for experimental corneal neovascularization
PURPOSE To determine the effectiveness of multigene-based anti-angiogenic gene therapies for experimental murine corneal neovascularization (corneal NV). METHODS Recombinant retroviral vectors encoding murine endostatin (mEndo), murine-soluble vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (msFlk-1), or murine-soluble Tie2 (msTie2) were constructed and packaged in PT67 cells. Viral titers were...
متن کاملB cell targeted therapies
Although the precise pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) remains unclear, many cell populations, including monocytes, macrophages, endothelial cells, fibroblasts and B cells, participate in the inflammatory process. Ongoing research continues to evaluate the critical roles played by B cells in sustaining the chronic inflammatory process of RA. These findings have contributed to the develo...
