Micro-positron emission tomography imaging of cardiac gene expression in rats using bicistronic adenoviral vector-mediated gene delivery.
BACKGROUND We have previously validated the use of micro-positron emission tomography (microPET) for monitoring the expression of a single PET reporter gene in rat myocardium. We now report the use of a bicistronic adenoviral vector (Ad-CMV-D2R80a-IRES-HSV1-sr39tk) for linking the expression of 2 PET reporter genes, a mutant rat dopamine type 2 receptor (D2R80a) and a mutant herpes simplex viru...
متن کاملCloning and Expression of Thermus Aquaticus DNA Polymerase Gene, Using a Thermo-Inducible Expression Vector
DNA polymerase gene from Thermus aquaticus strain YT1 was amplified using VENTTM DNA po-lymerase and cloned under the control of X.PR promoter and expression was induced by a shift in tern perature. The culture was then sonicated, and after centrifugation the lysate was treated with polyethyleneimine followed by a salting-out step. Finally the protein was precipitated with ammonium sulfate and...
متن کاملQuantitative analysis of p53-targeted gene expression and visualization of p53 transcriptional activity following intratumoral administration of adenoviral p53 in vivo.
To analyze the mechanism of the antitumor effect of an adenoviral vector expressing the p53 tumor suppressor (Ad-p53) in vivo, we quantitatively assessed p53-targeted gene expression and visualized transcriptional activity of p53 in tumors in nude mice treated with Ad-p53. Human lung cancer (H1299) xenografts established in nude mice were treated by intratumoral administration of Ad-p53. The le...
متن کاملConstruction of a bicistronic proangiogenic expression vector and its application in experimental angiogenesis in vivo.
Manipulation of angiogenesis in vivo is an example of successful gene therapy strategies. Overexpression of angiogenic genes like VEGF, FGF or PDGF causes new vessel formation and improves the clinical state of patients. Gene therapy is a very promising procedure but requires large amounts of pharmaceutical-grade plasmid DNA. In this regard we have constructed a bicistronic plasmid DNA vector e...
متن کاملTreatment of malignant gliomas with a replicating adenoviral vector expressing herpes simplex virus-thymidine kinase.
We evaluated the interaction between oncolytic, replication-competent adenoviral vectors and the herpes simplex virus-1 thymidine kinase (HSV1-tk) gene/ganciclovir (GCV) suicide system for the treatment of malignant gliomas. We constructed a panel of replication-competent adenoviral vectors in which the luciferase (IG.Ad5E1(+). E3Luc) or HSV1-tk gene (IG.Ad5E1(+).E3TK) replace the M(r) 19,000 g...
