Barriers and recent advances in non-viral vectors targeting the lungs for cystic fibrosis gene therapy
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in CFTR genes that affect chloride ion channel. The CF is a good nominee for gene therapy as the asymptomatic carriers are phenotypically normal, and the desired cells are accessible for vector delivery. Gene therapy shows promising effects involving the correction of gene or replacement of the mutant gene with the func...
متن کاملGene targeting to the ROSA26 locus directed by engineered zinc finger nucleases
Targeted gene addition to mammalian genomes is central to biotechnology, basic research and gene therapy. For example, gene targeting to the ROSA26 locus by homologous recombination in embryonic stem cells is commonly used for mouse transgenesis to achieve ubiquitous and persistent transgene expression. However, conventional methods are not readily adaptable to gene targeting in other cell type...
متن کاملLiver Directed Therapy for Renal Cell Carcinoma
BACKGROUND Metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) to the liver portrays a poor prognosis and liver directed therapy remains controversial. We aimed to determine potential selection criteria for patients who might benefit from this strategy. MATERIALS AND METHODS We evaluated 247 consecutive patients with RCC metastatic to the liver from a prospectively maintained database. RESULTS Eighteen p...
متن کاملProdrugs for Gene-Directed Enzyme-Prodrug Therapy (Suicide Gene Therapy)
This review focuses on the prodrugs used in suicide gene therapy. These prodrugs need to satisfy a number of criteria. They must be efficient and selective substrates for the activating enzyme, and be metabolized to potent cytotoxins preferably able to kill cells at all stages of the cell cycle. Both prodrugs and their activated species should have good distributive properties, so that the resu...
متن کاملConditional gene targeting for cancer gene therapy.
Current treatment of solid tumors is limited by severe adverse effects, resulting in a narrow therapeutic index. Therefore, cancer gene therapy has emerged as a targeted approach that would significantly reduce undesired side effects in normal tissues. This approach requires a clear understanding of the molecular biology of both the malignant clone and the biological vectors that serve as vehic...
