چکیده

PURPOSE This study was designed to investigate whether transduction of lentiviral vectors (LV) carrying human coagulation factor VIII (hFVIII) cDNA into skeletal muscle could increase circulating hFVIII concentrations. MATERIALS AND METHODS A LV containing bacterial LacZ gene as a control or human FVIII gene was intramuscularly administered into the thigh muscle of 5 weeks old Sparague-Dawley rats. The plasma human FVIII concentration and neutralizing anti-FVIII antibodies were measured for up to 12 weeks in these experimental animals. RESULTS The plasma human FVIII levels in the rats injected with LV carrying FVIII cDNA peaked at post-injection 1st week (5.19 +/- 0.14 ng/mL vs. 0.21 +/- 0.05 ng/mL in control rats , p < 0.05). Elevated hFVIII concentrations were maintained for 4 weeks (2.52 +/- 0.83 ng/mL vs. 0.17 +/- 0.08 ng/mL in control rats, p < 0.05) after a single intramuscular injection. In the Bethesda assay, neutralizing antibodies for FVIII protein were detected only in FVIII-LV injected rats by the 10th week, but not in control rats. CONCLUSION This study suggested that a single administration of an advanced generation LV carrying the human FVIII cDNA resulted in elevation of FVIII level in immune competent rats, and that this gene transfer approach to the skeletal muscle could be an effective tool in treatment of hemophilia A.

Expression of Recombinant Alpha-1 Antitrypsin in CHO and COS-7 Cell Lines Using Lentiviral Vector

In this study, in order to facilitate and accelerate the production of eukaryotic protein alpha 1-antitrypsin (AAT) with correct post-translational modifications, a protein production system based on the transduction of CHO and COS-7 cells using lentiviral vectors was developed. Human AAT cDNA was cloned into a replication-defective lentiviral vector. The transgene AAT-Jred chimer was transferr...

طراحی وکتور لنتی ویروسی pLEX-LAMP-DARPin جهت بیان دارپین هدفمند علیه HER2 در سطح اگزوزوم

Background and purpose: Exosome as drug delivery system is a novel and smart methodology enabling delivery of exosome cargo into specific tissue. This aim could be accessed by manipulation of exosome producer cells for expression of specific transmembrane-anchored ligand on exosomes surface. Accordingly, Lysosomal Associated Membrane Protein (LAMP) is one of the best choices for anchoring and c...

Lentiviral vector-mediated transduction of adult neural stem/progenitor cells isolated from the temporal tissues of epileptic patients

Objective(s): Neural stem/progenitor cells (NS/PCs) hold a great potential for delivery of therapeutic agents into the injured regions of the brain. Efficient gene delivery using NS/PCs may correct a genetic defect, produce therapeutic proteins or neurotransmitters, and modulate enzyme activation. Here, we investigated the efficiency of a recombinant lentivirus vector ...
