Pigment epithelium-derived factor: clinical significance in estrogen-dependent tissues and its potential in cancer therapy
Pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) is a glycoprotein that belongs to the family of non-inhibitory serpins. The broad spectrum of PEDF biological activity is evident when considering its effects in promoting cell survival and proliferation, as well as its antiangiogenic, antitumor, and anti-metastatic properties. Although the structural domains of the PEDF gene that mediate such diverse ef...

Human gene therapy has attracted increasing attention as a highly encouraging therapeutic approach to treat wide variety of diseases, other than genetically inherited and monogenic disorders. This approach entails the introduction and expression of a variety of nucleic acids into human target cells for therapeutic purposes. In this article, we review the history, highlights, recently progresses...
متن کاملGene Expression under F8 Promoter Driving In Mouse Hepatoma Cells: A Step towards Gene Therapy of Hemophilia
Background and Objectives: Significant progress has been made in treatment of hemophilia. Ex-vivo gene therapy is going popular due to the capability of this method in using isogenic cells for genetic manipulation and reintroducing them into same host after proliferation. Most gene therapy techniques use viral vectors, which usually harbor a strong and non-specific promoter (e...
متن کاملDifferentiation Potential and Culture Requirements of Mesenchymal Stem Cells from Ovine Bone Marrow for Tissue Regeneration Applications
Objectives- To isolate, culture-expand and differentiate mesenchymal stem cells from ovine bone marrow and determine their culture requirements for high expansion rate. Design- Experimental study. Animals- Five Shal sheep. Procedures- In this study, ovine marrow cells were plated and culture expanded through 3 successive subcultures. The resultant cells were then plated at differentiating condi...
متن کاملDesign and bioinformatics analysis of novel biomimetic peptides as nanocarriers for gene transfer
Objective(s): The introduction of nucleic acids into cells for therapeutic objectives is significantly hindered by the size and charge of these molecules and therefore requires efficient vectors that assist cellular uptake. For several years great efforts have been devoted to the study of development of recombinant vectors based on biological domains with potential applications in gene therapy....
