Viral vectors expressing immunoregulatory cytokines to treat inflammatory bowel disease.
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is characterised by altered immunoregulation and augmented synthesis of nitric oxide. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of exogenous IL-4, introduced by a recombinant human type 5 adenovirus (Ad5) vector, on the tissue injury associated with an experimental model of colonic immune activation and inflammation. Colitis was induced in rats by t...
متن کاملDecreased serum testosterone level was not significantly correlated with lipid indices in elderly men
Background: Aging in men causes a gradual decline in endogenous testosterone levels, which may have detrimental effects on their health status. Testosterone deficiency is thought to promote atherosclerosis by modulating lipid metabolism. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate the serum testosterone level and its correlation with lipid profile in men aged ≥60 years old. Methods: All el...
متن کاملEngineering viral vectors to subvert the airway defense response.
The potential treatment of lung disease by delivery of exogenous DNA to cells for expression of therapeutic proteins is an exciting benefit of the recent revolution in molecular engineering (1–3). Adenovirus-based vectors have received considerable attention for DNA delivery to lung cells for several reasons: adenoviruses can infect nondividing cells in the airway epithelium; they are stable; t...
متن کاملBarriers and recent advances in non-viral vectors targeting the lungs for cystic fibrosis gene therapy
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in CFTR genes that affect chloride ion channel. The CF is a good nominee for gene therapy as the asymptomatic carriers are phenotypically normal, and the desired cells are accessible for vector delivery. Gene therapy shows promising effects involving the correction of gene or replacement of the mutant gene with the func...
متن کاملSerum Homocysteine Concentration Is Significantly Associated with Inflammatory/Immune Factors
Recent studies suggest that serum homocysteine (HCY) level is correlated to inflammatory/immune factors that influence the development and progression of many diseases, such as cardiovascular disease. However, the association between serum HCY level and inflammatory/immune factors in healthy populations has not been systematically investigated. This study was conducted based on the Fangchenggan...
