Pharmacologically regulated in vivo selection in a large animal.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The inefficiency of gene transfer has greatly hindered gene therapy. In vivo selection may increase the frequency of genetically modified cells, thereby circumventing this critical limitation. Here we demonstrate regulated in vivo selection in a large animal. CD34(+) cells from 2 dogs were engineered to express a conditional derivative of the thrombopoietin receptor (F36Vmpl). Activation of the receptor through administration of a dimerizing drug, AP20187, produced reversible, drug-dependent rises in genetically modified red cells, white cells, and platelets in both animals, with minimal side effects. Cell growth switches could greatly enhance the efficacy and applicability of gene and cell therapy.

Expression of Regulated Oncogen-Alpha by Primary Hepatocytes Following Isolation and Heat Shock Stimulation
High levels of regulated oncogen-alpha (GRO-a) expression have been observed in the liver. GRO-a stimulates proliferation of epithelial cells and induction of rolling and extravascular migration of neutrophils and mononuclear cells. Given the above observations, this chemokine was chosen to be analyzed in freshly isolated and cultured hepatocytes. In this study, hepatocytes (2×106 cell/ml) were...

Injuries to the musculoskeletal system are common, debilitating and expensive. In many cases, healing is imperfect, which leads to chronic impairment. Gene transfer might improve repair and regeneration at sites of injury by enabling the local, sustained and potentially regulated expression of therapeutic gene products such products include morphogens, growth factors and anti-inflammatory agent...

Ruminal, post-ruminal and total tract crude protein disappearance of alfalfa hay and barley grain were measured using in vivo, in situ mobile bag and three-step in situ/in vitro enzyme procedures (3-step). For in vivo, four Baluchi lambs (49.4 ± 3.5 kg, body weight) were used in a 2 × 2 Latin square design within 2 periods (24 days of each period). Experimental diets were made of two alfalfa ha...
متن کاملThe Impact of Different Genetic Architectures on Accuracy of Genomic Selection Using Three Bayesian Methods
Genome-wide evaluation uses the associations of a large number of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers across the whole genome and then combines the statistical methods with genomic data to predict the genetic values. Genomic predictions relieson linkage disequilibrium (LD) between genetic markers and quantitative trait loci (QTL) in a population. Methods that use all markers simultaneo...
