construction and efficiency evaluation of replicating nonviral minicircle for gene therapy

construction and evaluation of a specific nonviral vector for ex-vivo gene correction of human β-globin gene defects

Novel minicircle vector for gene therapy in murine myocardial infarction.

BACKGROUND Conventional plasmids for gene therapy produce low-level and short-term gene expression. In this study, we develop a novel nonviral vector that robustly and persistently expresses the hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1alpha) therapeutic gene in the heart, leading to functional benefits after myocardial infarction. METHODS AND RESULTS We first created minicircles (MC) carrying ...

ساخت الکترودهاِی اصلاح شده ِیکِی از چالشهاِی همِیشگِی در دانش شیمِی بوِیژه شیمِی تجزیه مِی باشد ،که با در نظر گرفتن سادگِی ساخت، کاربردی بودن و ارزان بودن روش مِی توان به باارزش بودن چنِین سنسورهاِی پِی برد.آنچه که در ادامه آورده شده به ساخت و کاربرد الکترودهاِی اصلاح شده با استفاده از نانو ذرات در اندازه گِیرِی ولتامترِی آهن وکادمِیم اشاره دارد. کار اول اختصاص دارد به ساخت الکترود خمِیر کربن اصلاح شده با لِیگاند داِ...

Nonviral gene therapy targeting cardiovascular system.

The goal of gene therapy is either to introduce a therapeutic gene into or replace a defective gene in an individual's cells and tissues. Gene therapy has been urged as a potential method to induce therapeutic angiogenesis in ischemic myocardium and peripheral tissues after extensive investigation in recent preclinical and clinical studies. A successful gene therapy mainly relies on the develop...

Replicating Retroviral Vectors for Gene Therapy of Solid Tumors

Combination nonviral interleukin 2 gene therapy and external-beam radiation therapy for head and neck cancer.

OBJECTIVES To demonstrate that the combination of nonviral murine interleukin 2 (mIL-2) gene therapy and external-beam radiation therapy (XRT) have an enhanced therapeutic effect for the treatment of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) in an orthotopic murine model and to elucidate the mechanism of action. METHODS Randomized, controlled studies in the murine orthotopic model of HNSC...
