A factor IX-deficient mouse model for hemophilia B gene therapy.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have generated a mouse where the clotting factor IX (FIX) gene has been disrupted by homologous recombination. The FIX nullizygous (-/-) mouse was devoid of factor IX antigen in plasma. Consistent with the bleeding disorder, the factor IX coagulant activities for wild-type (+/+), heterozygous (+/-), and homozygous (-/-) mice were 92%, 53%, and <5%, respectively, in activated partial thromboplastin time assays. Plasma factor IX activity in the deficient mice (-/-) was restored by introducing wild-type murine FIX gene via adenoviral vectors. Thus, these factor IX-deficient mice provide a useful animal model for gene therapy studies of hemophilia B.

Expression of Recombinant Coagulation Factor IX in Human Amniotic Membrane-derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells: A New Strategy to Gene Therapy of Hemophilia B
Background: Hemophilia B is an X-linked hereditary disorder of blood coagulation system which is caused by factor IX (FIX) deficiency. Factor IX is a plasma glycoprotein that participates in the coagulation process leading to the generation of fibrin. Replacement of factor IX with plasma-derived or recombinant factor IX is the conventional treatment for hemophilia B to raise the factor IX le...
متن کاملA coagulation factor IX-deficient mouse model for human hemophilia B.
Coagulation factor IX deficiency causes hemophilia B in humans. We have used gene targeting to develop a coagulation factor IX-deficient (factor IX-knockout) mouse strain. Mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells were targeted by a socket-containing vector that replaces the promoter through exon 3 of the factor IX gene by neoDeltaHPRT, which is a functional neo gene plus a partially deleted hypoxanthine...
متن کاملMolecular Characterization of the Factor IX Gene in 28 Iranian Hemophilia B Patients
Background: Heterogeneous mutations in the human coagulation factor IX gene lead to an X-linked recessive bleeding disorder known as hemophilia B. The disease is distributed worldwide with no ethnic or geographical priority. Materials and Methods: The aim of this study was to characterize the factor IX gene mutations in 28 unrelated Iranian hemophilia B patients. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)...

Background: Hemophilia B is an X-linked recessive coagulation disorder caused by factor IX deficiency. Analysis of factor IX gene polymorphisms is considered the best approach for prenatal diagnosis and carrier detection of hemophilia B where the identification of gene mutation is not easily possible. Objective: To study the frequency of three factor IX-linked restriction fragment length polym...
متن کاملHEMOSTASIS, THROMBOSIS, AND VASCULAR BIOLOGY Creation of a mouse expressing defective human factor IX
The majority of cases of human hemophilia B are the result of missense mutations in the coagulation factor IX gene and defective circulating factor IX is detectable in most patients. The available mouse factor IX knockout models of hemophilia B (FIXKO mouse) reproduce the bleeding phenotype of human hemophilia B, but because the models produce no factor IX they fail to reproduce the dominant hu...
