Multifunctional Delivery Systems for Cancer Gene Therapy
This chapter examines key concepts with respect to cancer gene therapy and the cur‐ rent issues with respect to non-viral delivery. The biological and molecular barriers that need to be overcome before effective non-viral delivery systems can be appropri‐ ately designed for oncology applications are highlighted and ways to overcome these are discussed. Strategies developed to evade the immune r...
متن کاملNon-Viral Delivery Systems in Gene Therapy
Recent advances in molecular biology combined with the culmination of the Human Ge‐ nome Project [1] have provided a genetic understanding of cellular processes and disease pathogenesis; numerous genes involved in disease and cellular processes have been identi‐ fied as targets for therapeutic approaches. In addition, the development of high-throughput screening techniques (e.g., cDNA microarra...
متن کاملTargeted drug and gene delivery systems for lung cancer therapy.
PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy of a novel docetaxel derivative of deslorelin, a luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist, and its combination in vivo with RGD peptide conjugated nanoparticles encapsulating an antiangiogenic, anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) intraceptor (Flt23k; RGD-Flt23k-NP) in H1299 lung cancer cells and/or xenografts in athymic nude BALB/c mice. ...
متن کاملPancreatic Cancer Gene Therapy: From Molecular Targets to Delivery Systems
The continuous identification of molecular changes deregulating critical pathways in pancreatic tumor cells provides us with a large number of novel candidates to engineer gene-targeted approaches for pancreatic cancer treatment. Targets-both protein coding and non-coding-are being exploited in gene therapy to influence the deregulated pathways to facilitate cytotoxicity, enhance the immune res...
متن کاملNon-Viral Delivery Systems in Gene Therapy and Vaccine Development
Gene therapy is the process of treating a particular disease through the introduction of genetic material in order to elicit a therapeutic benefit [Stone, 2010]. The defective gene of a diagnosed patient can be corrected by a number of different strategies such as “gene replacement”, “gene correction”, and “gene augmentation” [Katare and Aeri, 2010]. In replacement therapy, a normal gene is ins...
