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 کاملNucleic acid carriers for pulmonary gene delivery
The delivery of nucleic acids to the pulmonary route appears to be promising due to non-invasiveness, large area of epithelial surface lining the lung, easy accessibility and ability to provide a platform for local delivery. The therapeutic role of nucleic acids in various diseases pertaining to the pulmonary route e.g. cystic fibrosis, α1-antitrypsin deficiency, asthma, chronic obstructive pul...
متن کاملNovel pDNA nanoparticles for pulmonary gene delivery
The development of new therapies by gene transfer to the lung epithelial cells is an attractive prospect because of the potential ease of access to a vast surface area of tissue and the prospects for administration of gene vectors by inhalation. A number of respiratory diseases could benefit from this approach, including cystic fibrosis (CF), and more common chronic conditions such as asthma an...
