A visible, targeted high-efficiency gene delivery and transfection strategy
BACKGROUND To enhance myocardial angiogenic gene expression, a novel gene delivery strategy was tested. Direct intramyocardial injection of an angiogenic gene with microbubbles and insonation were applied in a dog animal model. Dogs received one of the four different treatments in conjunction with either the enhanced green fluorescence protein (EGFP) gene or the hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) g...
متن کاملHigh efficiency adenovirus-mediated gene transfer to human dendritic cells.
The interest in the use of human dendritic cells in cancer immunotherapy calls for efficient ex vivo methods of dendritic cell education. To extend the range of methods available, we generated phenotypically characteristic dendritic cells from peripheral blood monocytes incubated with granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor and interleukin-4 and infected them with an adenovirus contain...
متن کاملTargeted modification of atrial electrophysiology by homogeneous transmural atrial gene transfer.
BACKGROUND Safe and effective myocardial gene transfer remains elusive. Heterogeneous ventricular gene delivery has been achieved in small mammals but generally with methods not readily transferable to the clinic. Atrium-specific gene transfer has not yet been reported. We hypothesized that homogeneous atrial gene transfer could be achieved by direct application of adenoviral vectors to the epi...
متن کاملEnhanced gene transfer activity of peptide-targeted gene-delivery vectors.
We have evaluated the capacity of the cell-binding heptapeptide SIGYPLP to enhance transgene expression using non-viral and viral gene delivery vectors. Targeted polyplex based vectors showed good levels of DNA uptake in freshly isolated human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) compared to untargeted controls, whilst displaying only modest increases in reporter gene activity. The targete...
متن کاملMyocardial gene transfer for patients with myocardial ischemia.
Myocardial Ischemia To the Editor: The report by Losordo et al1 concerning myocardial gene transfer for patients with myocardial ischemia is promising. However, I believe their report merely demonstrates safety and does not provide substantial “evidence for a favorable clinical effect of direct myocardial injection of naked plasmid DNA encoding for VEGF [vascular endothelial growth factor].”1 T...
