Neuroprotective therapies in glaucoma: II. Genetic nanotechnology tools
Neurotrophic factor genome engineering could have many potential applications not only in the deeper understanding of neurodegenerative disorders but also in improved therapeutics. The fields of nanomedicine, regenerative medicine, and gene/cell-based therapy have been revolutionized by the development of safer and efficient non-viral technologies for gene delivery and genome editing with moder...
متن کاملEffects of histone deacetylase inhibition on the survival, proliferation and migration of Schwann cells, as well as on the expression of neurotrophic factors and genes associated with myelination.
Trichostatin A (TSA), a histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor, has been shown to have neuroprotective, neurotrophic and anti-inflammatory properties in both animal and cellular models of neurodegenerative disorders. In a previous study of ours, we demonstrated that TSA inhibited the proliferation and increased the differentiation of neuronal precursor cells (NPCs). However, the effects of TSA on...
متن کاملNeurotrophic factors in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases: implications for pathogenesis and therapy
Neurotrophic factors comprise essential secreted proteins that have several functions in neural and non-neural tissues, mediating the development, survival and maintenance of peripheral and central nervous system. Therefore, neurotrophic factor issue has been extensively investigated into the context of neurodegenerative diseases. Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease show changes in the ...
متن کاملLong-Term Gene Therapy Causes Transgene-Specific Changes in the Morphology of Regenerating Retinal Ganglion Cells
Recombinant adeno-associated viral (rAAV) vectors can be used to introduce neurotrophic genes into injured CNS neurons, promoting survival and axonal regeneration. Gene therapy holds much promise for the treatment of neurotrauma and neurodegenerative diseases; however, neurotrophic factors are known to alter dendritic architecture, and thus we set out to determine whether such transgenes also c...
متن کاملTowards Clinical Application of Neurotrophic Factors to the Auditory Nerve; Assessment of Safety and Efficacy by a Systematic Review of Neurotrophic Treatments in Humans
Animal studies have evidenced protection of the auditory nerve by exogenous neurotrophic factors. In order to assess clinical applicability of neurotrophic treatment of the auditory nerve, the safety and efficacy of neurotrophic therapies in various human disorders were systematically reviewed. Outcomes of our literature search included disorder, neurotrophic factor, administration route, thera...
