基因治疗研究的国内外进展

引言基因治疗,(GeneTherapy),是指在基因水平对人类遗传疾病进行治疗。具体地说,基因治疗是利用基因转移或基因调控的手段,将正常基因转入疾病患者机体细胞中,取代突变基因,表达所缺乏的基因产物,或者通过关闭或降低 异常表达的基因等途径,达到治疗某些人类疾病的方法。目前的科学发展水平还只能在体细胞水平上对单基因遗传病进行基因治疗,随着科学的发展将会有越来越多的疾病能用此法进行根治。     

Gene therapy in cancer

Gene therapy, recently frequently investigated, is an alternative treatment method that introduces therapeutic genes into a cancer cell or tissue to cause cell death or slow down the growth of the cancer. This treatment has various strategies such as therapeutic gene activation or silencing of unwanted or defective genes; therefore a wide variety of genes and viral or nonviral vectors are being used in studies. Gene therapy strategies in cancer can be classified as inhibition of oncogene activation, activation of tumor suppressor gene, immunotherapy, suicide gene therapy and antiangiogenic gene therapy. In this review, we explain gene therapy, gene therapy strategies in cancer, approved gene medicines for cancer treatment and future of gene therapy in cancer. Today gene therapy has not yet reached the level of replacing conventional therapies. However, with a better understanding of the mechanism of cancer to determine the right treatment and target, in the future gene therapy, used as monotherapy or in combination with another existing treatment options, is likely to be used as a new medical procedure that will make cancer a controllable disease.     

Membrane Proteins: The Key Players of a Cancer Cell

Membrane proteins are involved in the prognosis of the most common forms of cancer. Membrane proteins are the hallmark of a cancer cell. The overexpressed membrane receptors are becoming increasingly important in cancer cell therapy. Current renewing therapy approaches based on receptor overexpression include; antibody therapy, nanocarrier drug delivery, and fluorescent tumor imaging in surgery. Gene profiling reveals cancer specific signatures and may identify membrane proteins that are related to cancer progression and lead to the development of improved therapy strategies in the future.     

The future of gene therapy in the UK

Gene therapy encompasses a spectrum of therapeutic strategies, ranging from the compelling concept of using wild type copies of genes to correct the root cause of recessive genetic disorders through to using genes to mediate powerful and selective toxicity to cancer cells. Inspirational for the general public as well as the bioscience community, gene therapy has been grabbing the headlines--for good and bad reasons--regularly for the past 15 years. In this personal appraisal, Professor Len Seymour assesses the progress of gene therapy in the UK and what it might deliver in the foreseeable future.     

Gene therapy clinical trials worldwide to 2012 – an update

To date, over 1800 gene therapy clinical trials have been completed, are ongoing or have been approved worldwide. Our database brings together global information on gene therapy clinical trials from official agency sources, published literature, conference presentations and posters kindly provided to us by individual investigators or trial sponsors. This review presents our analysis of clinical trials that, to the best of our knowledge, have been or are being performed worldwide. As of our June 2012 update, we have entries on 1843 trials undertaken in 31 countries. We have analysed the geographical distribution of trials, the disease indications (or other reasons) for trials, the proportions to which different vector types are used, and which genes have been transferred. Details of the analyses presented, and our searchable database are available on The Journal of Gene Medicine Gene Therapy Clinical Trials Worldwide website at: http://www.wiley.co.uk/genmed/clinical . We also provide an overview of the progress being made in clinical trials of gene therapy approaches around the world and discuss the prospects for the future.

Gene editing in T cell therapy

The adoptive transfer of engineered T cells for the treatment of cancer, autoimmunity, and infectious disease is a rapidly growing field that has shown great promise. Gene editing holds tremendous potential for further improvements of T cell therapy. Here we review the applications of gene editing in various T cell therapies, focusing on antiviral strategies and cancer immunotherapies, and discuss the challenges and future prospects.     

Prospects for gene therapy in human prostate cancer

Prostate cancer is the most common neoplasm in men and a significant cause of mortality in affected patients. Despite significant advances, current methods of treatment are effective only in the absence of metastatic disease. Gene therapy offers a renewed hope of using the differential characteristics of normal and malignant tissue in constructing treatment strategies. Several clinical trials in prostate cancer gene therapy are currently under way, using immunomodulatory genes, anti-oncogenes, tumor suppressor genes and suicide genes. A continued understanding of the etiological mechanisms involved in the establishment and progression of prostate cancer, along with advances in gene therapy technology, should make gene therapy for prostate cancer therapeutically valuable in the future.     

Retrograde axonal transport property of adeno-associated virus and its possible application in future

Gene therapy has become a treatment method for many diseases. Adeno-associated virus (AAV) is one of the most common virus vectors, is also widely used in the gene therapy field. During the past two decades, the retrograde axonal transportability of AAV has been discovered and utilized. Many studies have worked on the retrograde axonal transportability of AAV, and more and more people are interested in this field. This review describes the current application, influence factors, and mechanism of retrograde axonal transportability of AAV and predicted its potential use in disease treatment in near future.     

Regulated expression systems for gene therapy

Gene therapy is a promising and rapidly developing field of modern medicine and is expected to improve or even cure the diseases that are incurable with classical therapies. The logics of the development of gene therapy in the nearest future will require the systems wherein a regulation is possible for expression of therapeutic genes. The review considers the currently available regulated gene therapeutic systems, which can be divided into two main classes. One includes the systems wherein external inducers are used to trigger therapeutic gene expression. Systems of the other class are autoregulated and function without an external inducer. The most important first-class expression systems are based on the regulation by tetracycline, rapamycin derivative-induced dimerization, steroid hormones, regulatory RNAs, and physical factors. The most important systems of the second class are regulated by oxygen or glucose levels.
