Abstract:

Tumor cells can be modified with cytokine genes such as the Interleukin-2 (IL-2) gene. The levels of IL-2 expressed are critical for successful treatment. We have tried to achieve higher levels of IL-2 than those currently available by conventional plasmids. Use of a transcriptional activator, e.g; the tat gene along with the HIV promoter driving the IL-2 gene, greatly increased IL-2 levels compared to widely used cytomegalovirus (CMV) driven plasmids. Control of the tat gene with an inducible promoter, i.e; the human HSP70B promoter, permitted control of gene expression. The inducibility of t

Abstract:

Mitochondria are unique organelles that have their own genome, the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). Although quite small compared to nuclear DNA (nDNA), mutations in mtDNA are quite frequent due to the lack of protection and repair mechanisms. Per consequence, cytopathies and diseases are quite common and mostly associated with high energy demanding tissues such as muscles and the brain. Therefore, the development of a new and efficient mitochondrial gene therapy protocol is seen as a promising approach. During this MSc thesis we try to bring together a new nanocarrier system with the ability

Abstract:

The aim of this project was to assess a novel anti-angiogenic gene therapy in which a therapeutic gene is activated exclusively in proliferating endothelial cells using tissue-specific promoters and the Cre/IoxP recombination system. Adenoviruses and transgenic mice were generated in parallel to test individual components of the targeting system. One of the therapeutic effector strategies investigated was the herpes simplex virus-1 thymidine kinase (HSV-1TK)/ganciclovir (GCV)-mediated suicide system, which is reported to kill proliferating cells selectively.

Abstract:

Gliomas are the most common primary brain tumours found in adults. The median survival of patients diagnosed with the most malignant form, glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), is 9-12 months and has changed little over the years despite advances in medical technology. Gene therapy may offer new solutions to treat this resistant disease. Hence, we tested three different gene therapy strategies. In our first study, we tested the efficacy of targeted therapy to correct common aberrations found in gliomas including amplification/mutation of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK) and loss of PTEN, which result

Abstract:

Lentiviral vectors, derived from HIV-1, are promising tools for gene therapy. Recent clinical trials have demonstrated the translation of their effectiveness in laboratory studies to clinical trials. However there are still limitations, relating to vector safety and efficiency of production, that could confine their future use. I investigated the ability of lentiviral vectors to perturb cellular gene expression by insertional mutagenesis (IM), using an in vitro model that detects aberrant splicing from lentiviral vectors to the growth hormone receptor gene (Ghr).

Abstract:

Epilepsy is a neurological disease characterized by a persistent predisposition to generate seizures, that affects about 1% of the world population. About 30% of epileptic patients are drug-resistant, thus refractory to currently available anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs). Less than 10% of these drug-resistant patients are eligible for resective brain surgery, often due to generalized or multiple epileptic foci, or due to proximity of the epileptic focus to eloquent brain areas. Therefore, gene therapy may represent a doable approach for the unmet medical need of these patients. Neuropeptide Y (NP

Oncolytic virotherapy with the adenovirus mutant dl 1520 in combination with chemotherapy has shown clinical response. Approaches to cancer gene therapy involving delivery of enzymes to activate the prodrugs CB 1954 and 5-FC are currently being tested in clinical trials. We hypothesised that the combination of an adenoviral vector equivalent to dl1520 with activation ofCB 1954or 5-FC and the combination of CB 1954 activation with 5-FU may further improve the antitumour effects for colorectal cancer therapy. The initial in vitro data showed that the combination of dl 1520 with CB 1954 activatio

Abstract:

Adenoviral CD40L gene therapy (AdCD40L) is a strong inducer of anti-tumor immune responses via its activation of dendritic cells (DCs).

In the first paper, the infiltration of suppressive CD11b+Gr-1+ cells in orthotopic MB49 bladder tumors was investigated and found to be significantly reduced while activated T cells were increased when the tumors had been treated with local AdCD40L gene therapy.

Retinal degenerative disease, which includes age-related macular degeneration and retinitis pigmentosa, is the main cause of blindness in developed countries. Degeneration of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and photoreceptor cells through apoptosis is believed to be the main mechanism of cell death. X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis (XIAP) is an endogenous anti-apoptotic protein that mediates its effects through the inhibition of caspases - the proteins regulating the final stages of apoptosis. The neuroprotection of XIAP has been demonstrated in various neurodegenerative models. Retinal ge

Genetic mutations can cause a wide range of diseases, e.g. cancer. Gene therapy has the potential to alleviate or even cure these diseases.

Since the development of these synthetic catalytic oligonucleotides, the main way of determining their cleavage kinetics has been through the use of a laborious and error prone gel assay to quantify substrate and product at different time-points.

Ovarian cancer accounts for more deaths than all other gynaecological cancers taken together. The 5 year survival rate can be as high as 80% for cases diagnosed early, but the asymptomatic nature of the disease means that it is most frequently detected in the later stages. By this time, disease has invariably spread beyond the ovaries and the survival rate drops to around 30%. Treatment of ovarian cancer often fails due to a high rate of chemoresistance and novel methods of treatment and detection are required to increase the survival chances of patients.

Abstract:

It has been proposed that CD4+ T cells and cell-mediated immunity play a central role in corneal allograft rejection. Two subsets of CD4+ T cells, Th1 and Th2 cells, are known to cross-regulate each other through their cytokine pattern and the immune response might be directed predominantly in one or the other direction. As such, it has been hypothesized here that predominant Th1 type immune response could lead to corneal allograft rejection, and that previous inflamed corneal beds (high-risk eyes) might augment the Th1 response and thus accelerate the graft rejection.<br>Reverse transcription
