Genetically modified mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are potentially valuable tools for the novel treatment of human illnesses. Here, we investigated whether gene transfers by self-complementary adeno-associated viruses (scAAV) lead to promising genetic modification in human bone marrow and umbilical cord blood MSCs. Of the various scAAVs, scAAV2, and scAAV5 effectively and safely expressed transgenes in both hMSCs. Transduction efficiency with scAAV2 at 1000 multiplicity of infection was 66.3+/-9.4% and 67.6+/-6.7% in bone marrow and umbilical cord blood MSCs, respectively. A co-infection study showed that the distinct scAAV2 and scAAV5 can effectively express different transgenes in the same hMSC. hMSCs transduced by scAAVs showed long-term gene expression for three months in rat brains. Genetic modification by scAAVs did not affect osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs. Therefore, the present study strongly supports the promising potential of scAAVs as a technical platform for safe, long-term transgene expression in hMSCs. 相似文献

Transplantation of a donor cornea to restore vision is the most frequently performed transplantation in the world. Corneal endothelial cells (CEC) are crucial for the outcome of a graft as they maintain corneal transparency and avoid graft failure due to corneal opaqueness. Given the characteristic of being a monolayer and in direct contact with culture medium during cultivation in eye banks, CEC are specifically suitable for gene therapeutic approaches prior to transplantation. Recombinant adeno-associated virus 2 (rAAV2) vectors represent a promising tool for gene therapy of CEC. However, high vector titers are needed to achieve sufficient gene expression. One of the rate-limiting steps for transgene expression is the conversion of single-stranded (ss-) DNA vector genome into double-stranded (ds-) DNA. This step can be bypassed by using self-complementary (sc-) AAV2 vectors. Aim of this study was to compare for the first time transduction efficiencies of ss- and scAAV2 vectors in CEC. For this purpose AAV2 vectors containing enhanced green fluorescent protein (GFP) as transgene were used. Both in CEC and in donor corneas, transduction with scAAV2 resulted in significantly higher transgene expression compared to ssAAV2. The difference in transduction efficiency decreased with increasing vector titer. In most cases, only half the vector titer of scAAV2 was required for equal or higher gene expression rates than those of ssAAV2. In human donor corneas, GFP expression was 64.7±11.3% (scAAV) and 38.0±8.6% (ssAAV) (p<0.001), respectively. Furthermore, transduced cells maintained their viability and showed regular morphology. Working together with regulatory authorities, a translation of AAV2 vector-mediated gene therapy to achieve a temporary protection of corneal allografts during cultivation and transplantation could therefore become more realistic. 相似文献

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV, lentivirus) vector has attractive features for gene therapy, including the ability to transduce non-dividing cells and long-term transgene expression. We have already reported that lentivirus vector can transduce well-differentiated rat cardiac myocytes. Endothelial cells (EC) are an attractive target for gene therapy, both for the treatment of cardiovascular disease and for the systemic delivery of recombinant gene products directly into the circulation. There are several reports regarding application of adenovirus and retrovirus based vectors to EC. However, there have been few reports which show the effect to lentivirus-mediated gene transfer efficiency, compared with adenovirus and retrovirus. In this study, bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAECs) were infected, in vitro, with these virus vectors. Transduction efficiency (TE) of beta-Gal gene transfer in BAECs by adenovirus, lentivirus, or retrovirus at MOI10 (Multiplicity of infection) (determined on Hela cells) is 69+/-11, 33+/-8, or 22+/-6% respectively. In adenovirus and lentivirus, almost 100% of BAECs were transduced at MOI 50. However, in retrovirus, TE showed only 48+/-6% at MOI 50 and no increase at MOI 100. The percentage of beta-Gal positive cells was decreased rapidly at longer passage of cells after being transduced by adenovirus. However, lentivirus and retrovirus showed sustained higher percentage of positive cells. Furthermore, transduction by lentiviral vectors had no significant effect on viability of BAECs. Our results indicate that lentivirus showed high-level and long term gene expression in BAECs. Lentivirus can be an effective vector for the ex vivo, genetically modified EC implantation and in vivo gene therapy. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Ex vivo gene therapy of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) requires efficient transduction of leukemic cells. Recombinant adenovirus has been reported to be a poorly efficient vector in leukemic cells. We investigated leukemic cell culture as a possible method of improving the efficacy of this vector. METHODS: Leukemic cell lines and primary cultured AML cells were incubated with adenoviral vectors carrying GFP, LacZ, or IL-12 cDNA. Transduction efficiency was evaluated by measuring adenoviral genome copy number and transgene expression in leukemic cells. The expression of the coxsackie/adenovirus receptor (CAR), CD29, CD49e, and CD51/61 was measured, as was the effect of blocking integrin on adenoviral transduction. RESULTS: Increasing the multiplicity of infection (MOI) to 300 plaque-forming units per cell enhanced transduction of leukemic cell lines and to a lesser degree of AML cells. Analysis of adenoviral genome copy per cell showed only a partial correlation between gene transfer efficiency and transgene expression. Culture of AML cells for 3 days prior to adenoviral transduction increased both adenoviral copy number per cell and the percentage of transgene-expressing cells. CD29, CD49e, and CD51/61 but not CAR expression increased in cultured AML cells between days 0 and 3 and integrin-blocking experiments showed inhibition of transduction in two of four AML samples tested. CONCLUSIONS: Efficient ex vivo gene transfer in primary cultured AML cells can be achieved by short-term culture of leukemic cells prior to gene transfer with adenoviral vectors at a high MOI. This effect appears to be at least partially mediated by enhanced integrin expression. 相似文献

The efficiency of human bone marrow (BM) mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) transduction with a bicistronic lentivirus vector was estimated, and the stability of transgene expression in genetically modified MSCs was determined. First-passage BM MSCs were capable of efficient transduction with the bicistronic lentivirus vector. The transduction efficiency depended on the multiplicity of infection (MOI), being 64 +/- 6.5 and 88.6 +/- 2.9% at MOI 10 and 20, respectively. The lentivirus transduction efficiency proved independent on the number of passages of a BM MSC culture, and expression of the egfp and dsRed1 transgenes in genetically modified MSCs remained stable for one month of culturing. A comparison showed that the level of egfp and dsRed1 transgene expression was preserved upon hepatogenic differentiation in vitro. The results provide a basis for further development of multigenic modification of human BM MSCs for research and/or therapeutic purposes. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Clinical gene therapy trials using standard Ad5-based vectors have thus far demonstrated limited efficacy, most likely due to low expression levels of adenoviral receptors on tumor cells. We sought to analyze adenoviral receptor expression levels on primary head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) cells and to determine whether adenoviral retargeting to the CD46 receptor via the Ad5/35 system would increase therapeutic potential for HNSCC. METHODS: We used flow cytometric analyses to determine adenoviral receptor expression levels on nine primary HNSCC cells collected from cancer patients. Adenoviruses Ad5.LacZ and Ad5/35.LacZ were used to analyze the differences in viral transduction both in vitro and in a HNSCC tumor mouse model. RESULTS: Flow cytometric analyses demonstrated uniformly high CD46 expression in all cells studied (85-99%). In contrast, coxsackievirus and adenovirus receptor (CAR) expression was substantially lower and highly variable (1.6-62%). Alpha(v) integrin expression was between 39-98%. In situ stainings for beta-galactosidase gene expression demonstrated that Ad5/35.LacZ was clearly more effective than Ad5.LacZ in transducing primary HNSCC cells. Quantification of beta-galactosidase expression revealed up to 65 times higher transgene expression from Ad5/35.LacZ than Ad5.LacZ. In vivo, beta-galactosidase expression was detected in a substantial area after a single intratumoral injection of Ad5/35.LacZ, whereas injection with Ad5.LacZ resulted in gene expression only in a few cells. CONCLUSIONS: Our results demonstrate that the low and variable CAR expression levels limit the therapeutic efficacy of Ad5-based strategies for HNSCC. In contrast, the effective in vivo transduction capacity of Ad5/35 warrants further development of this vector for the treatment of head and neck cancer. 相似文献

Background
Adeno associated virus (AAV) is well known for its ability to deliver transgenes to retina and to mediate improvements in animal models and patients with inherited retinal disease. Although the field is less advanced, there is growing interest in AAV’s ability to target cells of the anterior segment. The purpose of our study was to fully articulate a reliable and reproducible method for injecting the anterior chamber (AC) of mice and rats and to investigate the transduction profiles of AAV2- and AAV8-based capsid mutants containing self-complementary (sc) genomes in the anterior segment of the eye.Methodology/Principle Findings
AC injections were performed in C57BL/6 mice and Sprague Dawley rats. The cornea was punctured anterior of the iridocorneal angle. To seal the puncture site and to prevent reflux an air bubble was created in the AC. scAAVs expressing GFP were injected and transduction was evaluated by immunohistochemistry. Both parent serotype and capsid modifications affected expression. scAAV2- based vectors mediated efficient GFP-signal in the corneal endothelium, ciliary non-pigmented epithelium (NPE), iris and chamber angle including trabecular meshwork, with scAAV2(Y444F) and scAAV2(triple) being the most efficient.Conclusions/Significance
This is the first study to semi quantitatively evaluate transduction of anterior segment tissues following injection of capsid-mutated AAV vectors. scAAV2- based vectors transduced corneal endothelium, ciliary NPE, iris and trabecular meshwork more effectively than scAAV8-based vectors. Mutagenesis of surface-exposed tyrosine residues greatly enhanced transduction efficiency of scAAV2 in these tissues. The number of Y-F mutations was not directly proportional to transduction efficiency, however, suggesting that proteosomal avoidance alone may not be sufficient. These results are applicable to the development of targeted, gene-based strategies to investigate pathological processes of the anterior segment and may be applied toward the development of gene-based therapies for glaucoma and acquired or inherited corneal anomalies. 相似文献10.

BACKGROUND: Efficient gene transfer to bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) would provide an important opportunity to express potent anticancer agents in the tumour microenvironment because of their contribution to the tumour stroma. METHODS: HIV-based lentiviral vectors were pseudotyped with four different envelope proteins; amphotropic murine leukaemia virus (ampho), murine leukaemia virus (10A1), feline endogenous virus (RD114), and the vesicular stomatitis virus glycoprotein (VSVG). These pseudotypes were examined for transduction efficiency in human bone marrow derived MSC. The effect of lentiviral expression of truncated soluble vascular endothelial growth factor decoy receptor (tsFlk-1) in MSC on growth of Raji cells was determined, both in vitro and in vivo. RESULTS: All lentiviral vectors produced significant levels of transduction at an multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 1, those bearing the RD114 envelope glycoprotein consistently produced higher transduction levels (mean 70 +/- 6%) compared with the other pseudotyped lentiviral vectors, although there was significant inter-donor variation. Stable transgene expression was achieved after multiple rounds of transduction with VSVG-pseudotyped particles, without alteration in the differentiative capacity of transduced cells. Co-injection of MSC stably expressing tsFlk-1 with Raji Burkitt's lymphoma cells significantly impaired subcutaneous tumour growth in immunodeficient mice when compared to controls where either unmanipulated MSC or GFP-expressing MSC were used. CONCLUSIONS: Human MSC are easily transduced by pseudotyped lentiviral particles but there is inter-donor variation in transduction efficiency. Gene-modified MSC expressing a gene of therapeutic potential can moderate growth of haematological malignancies. 相似文献

Amnion, which is usually discarded as medical waste, is considered as abundant sources for mesenchymal stem cells. In human and veterinary medicine, the multipotency of mesenchymal stem cells derived from amnion (AMSCs) together with their plasticity, self-renewal, low immunogenicity and nontumorigenicity characteristics make AMSCs a promising candidate cell for cell-based therapies and tissue engineering. However, up till now, the multipotential characteristics and therapeutic potential of AMSCs on preclinical studies remain uncertain. In this work, we successfully obtained AMSCs from Beijing duck embryos in vitro, and also attempted to detect their biological characteristics. The isolated AMSCs were phenotypically identified, the growth kinetics and karyotype were tested. Also, the cells were positive for MSCs-related markers (CD29, CD71, CD105, CD166, Vimentin and Fibronection), while the expression of CD34 and CD45 were undetectable. Additionally, AMSCs also expressed the pluripotent marker gene OCT4. Particularly, when appropriately induced, AMSCs could be induced to trans-differentiate into adipocytes, osteoblasts, chondrocytes and neurocytes in vitro. Together, these results demonstrated that the isolated AMSCs maintained their stemness and proliferation in vitro, which may be useful for future cell therapy in regenerative medicine. 相似文献

Phenotypic characterization and in vivo localization of human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells
Young-Joon Ryu Tae-Jun Cho Dong-Sup Lee Jin-Young Choi Jaejin Cho 《Molecules and cells》2013,35(6):557-564
Human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hADMSCs) are a potential cell source for autologous cell therapy due to their regenerative ability. However, detailed cytological or phenotypic characteristics of these cells are still unclear. Therefore, we determined and compared cell size, morphology, ultrastructure, and immunohistochemical (IHC) expression profiles of isolated hADMSCs and cells located in human adipose tissues. We also characterized the localization of these cells in vivo. Light microscopy examination at low power revealed that hADMSCs acquired a spindle-shaped morphology after four passages. Additionally, high power views showed that these cells had various sizes, nuclear contours, and cytoplasmic textures. To further evaluate cell morphology, transmission electron microscopy was performed. hADMSCs typically had ultrastructural characteristics similar to those of primitive mesenchymal cells including a relatively high nuclear/cytosol ratio, prominent nucleoli, immature cytoplasmic organelles, and numerous filipodia. Some cells contained various numbers of lamellar bodies and lipid droplets. IHC staining demonstrated that PDGFR and CD10 were constitutively expressed in most hADMSCs regardless of passage number but expression levels of α-SMA, CD68, Oct4 and c-kit varied. IHC staining of adipose tissue showed that cells with immunophenotypic characteristics identical to those of hADMSCs were located mainly in the perivascular adventitia not in smooth muscle area. In summary, hADMSCs were found to represent a heterogeneous cell population with primitive mesenchymal cells that were mainly found in the perivascular adventitia. Furthermore, the cell surface markers would be CD10/PDGFR. To obtain defined cell populations for therapeutic purposes, further studies will be required to establish more specific isolation methods. 相似文献

Human stem and progenitor cells have recently become objects of intensive studies as an important target for gene therapy and regenerative medicine. Retroviral vectors are among the most effective tools for genetic modification of these cells. However, their transduction efficiency strongly depends on the choice of the ex vivo transduction system. The aim of this study was to elaborate a system for retroviral vector transduction of human CD34 positive cells isolated from cord blood. The retroviral vector pMINV EGFP was chosen for transduction of two human erythroblastoid cell lines: KG-1a (CD34 positive) and K562 (CD34 negative). For vector construction, three promoters and two retroviral vector packaging cell lines were used. To optimize the physicochemical conditions of the transduction process, different temperatures of supernatant harvesting, the influence of centrifugation and the presence of transduction enhancing agents were tested. The conditions elaborated with KG-1a cells were further applied for transduction of CD34 positive cells isolated from cord blood. The optimal efficiency of transduction of CD34 positive cells with pMINV EGFP retroviral vector (26% of EGFP positive cells), was obtained using infective vector with LTR retroviral promoter, produced by TE FLY GA MINV EGFP packaging cell line. The transduction was performed in the presence of serum, at 37 degrees C, with co-centrifugation of cells with viral supernatants and the use of transduction enhancing agents. This study confirmed that for gene transfer into CD34 positive cells, the detailed optimization of each element of the transduction process is of great importance. 相似文献

Adeno-associated virus (AAV) has shown great promise as a gene transfer vector. However, the incubation time needed to attain significant levels of gene expression is often too long for some clinical applications. Self-complementary AAV (scAAV) enters the cell as double stranded DNA, eliminating the step of second-strand synthesis, proven to be the rate-limiting step for gene expression of single-stranded AAV (ssAAV). The aim of this study was to compare the efficiency of these two types of AAV vectors in the murine myocardium. Four day old CD-1 mice were injected with either of the two AAV constructs, both expressing GFP and packaged into the AAV1 capsid. The animals were held for 4, 6, 11 or 21 days, after which they were euthanized and their hearts were excised. Serial sections of the myocardial tissue were used for real-time PCR quantification of AAV genome copies and for confocal microscopy. Although we observed similar numbers of AAV genomes at each of the different time points present in both the scAAV and the ssAAV infected hearts, microscopic analysis showed expression of GFP as early as 4 days in animals injected with the scAAV, while little or no expression was observed with the ssAAV constructs until day 11. AAV transduction of murine myocardium is therefore significantly enhanced using scAAV constructs. 相似文献

实体瘤缺乏明确的嵌合抗原受体T细胞(chimeric antigen receptor T-cell, CAR-T)治疗靶点。因此,通过慢病毒将已经明确的靶点分子CD19带入实体瘤细胞系,研究CD19 CAR-T细胞对其的杀伤,能够为CAR-T细胞针对实体瘤的治疗提供潜在的支撑。本研究利用三质粒慢病毒系统构建了稳定表达CD19、萤火虫荧光素酶(firefly luciferase, FLUC)和绿色荧光蛋白(green fluorescent protein, GFP)的结肠癌CT26细胞系CT26-CD19-FLUC-GFP。该细胞系与CT26细胞系的生长活性一致。通过流式细胞术检测不同代次CT26-CD19-FLUC-GFP细胞,证实了CT26-CD19-FLUC-GFP细胞连续传代至第5、10、22代后CD19及GFP的稳定表达。进一步证实,连续传代至第22代的CT26-CD19-FLUC-GFP细胞中的CD19 mRNA及FLUC表达水平显著高于对照组CT26细胞。与T细胞相比,CD19 CAR-T细胞能够显著杀伤CT26-CD19-FLUC-GFP细胞及MC38-CD19细胞。CT26-CD19-FLUC-GFP细胞腹腔植入小鼠体内1周后,通过活体成像仪可以检测到腹腔区域的FLUC表达。上述结果表明,成功构建了稳定表达CD19-FLUC-GFP的CT26细胞系,且该细胞系能够被CD19 CAR-T细胞特异性杀伤。 相似文献

We tested the ability of a recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) vector to express and integrate exogenous DNA into human hematopoietic cells in the absence of selection. We developed an rAAV vector, AAV-tNGFR, carrying a truncated rat nerve growth factor receptor (tNGFR) cDNA as a cell surface reporter under the control of the Moloney murine leukemia virus (MoMuLV) long terminal repeat. An analogous MoMuLV-based retroviral vector (L-tNGFR) was used in parallel, and gene transfer and expression in human hematopoietic cells were assessed by flow cytometry and DNA analyses. Following gene transfer into K562 cells with AAV-tNGFR at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 13 infectious units (IU), 26 to 38% of cells expressed tNGFR on the surface early after transduction, but the proportion of tNGFR expressing cells steadily declined to 3.0 to 3.5% over 1 month of culture. At an MOI of 130 IU, nearly all cells expressed tNGFR immediately posttransduction, but the proportion of cells expressing tNGFR declined to 62% over 2 months of culture. The decline in the proportion of AAV-tNGFR-expressing cells was associated with ongoing losses of vector genomes. In contrast, K562 cells transduced with the retroviral vector L-tNGFR expressed tNGFR in a constant fraction. Integration analyses on clones showed that integration occurred at different sites. Integration frequencies were estimated at about 49% at an MOI of 130 and 2% at an MOI of 1.3. Transduction of primary human CD34+ progenitor cells by AAV-tNGFR was less efficient than with K562 cells and showed a declining percentage of cells expressing tNGFR over 2 weeks of culture. Thus, purified rAAV caused very high gene transfer and expression in human hematopoietic cells early after transduction, which steadily declined during cell passage in the absence of selection. Although the efficiency of integration was low, overall integration was markedly improved at a high MOI. While prolonged episomal persistence may be adequate for gene therapy of nondividing cells, a very high MOI or improvements in basic aspects of AAV-based vectors may be necessary to improve integration frequency in the rapidly dividing hematopoietic cell population. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Although lentiviral vectors have been widely used for in vitro and in vivo gene therapy researches, there have been few studies systematically examining various conditions that may affect the determination of the number of viable vector particles in a vector preparation and the use of Multiplicity of Infection (MOI) as a parameter for the prediction of gene transfer events. METHODS: Lentiviral vectors encoding a marker gene were packaged and supernatants concentrated. The number of viable vector particles was determined by in vitro transduction and fluorescent microscopy and FACs analyses. Various factors that may affect the transduction process, such as vector inoculum volume, target cell number and type, vector decay, variable vector - target cell contact and adsorption periods were studied. MOI between 0-32 was assessed on commonly used cell lines as well as a new cell line. RESULTS: We demonstrated that the resulting values of lentiviral vector titre varied with changes of conditions in the transduction process, including inoculum volume of the vector, the type and number of target cells, vector stability and the length of period of the vector adsorption to target cells. Vector inoculum and the number of target cells determine the frequencies of gene transfer event, although not proportionally. Vector exposure time to target cells also influenced transduction results. Varying these parameters resulted in a greater than 50-fold differences in the vector titre from the same vector stock. Commonly used cell lines in vector titration were less sensitive to lentiviral vector-mediated gene transfer than a new cell line, FRL 19. Within 0-32 of MOI used transducing four different cell lines, the higher the MOI applied, the higher the efficiency of gene transfer obtained. CONCLUSION: Several variables in the transduction process affected in in vitro vector titration and resulted in vastly different values from the same vector stock, thus complicating the use of MOI for predicting gene transfer events. Commonly used target cell lines underestimated vector titre. However, within a certain range of MOI, it is possible that, if strictly controlled conditions are observed in the vector titration process, including the use of a sensitive cell line, such as FRL 19 for vector titration, lentivector-mediated gene transfer events could be predicted. 相似文献

Background aimsRecombinant adenoviruses have tremendous potential in both gene therapy research and therapeutic applications. Mesenchymal stromal cells have a set of several properties that make them ideally suited for both regenerative medicine and gene and drug delivery. A limitation of adenoviral-mediated gene transfer is indeed the poor transduction rate of cells with low or no levels of the specific adenoviral cell surface receptor coxsackie virus and adenovirus receptor (CAR), such as human mesenchymal stromal cells. In the present work, we tried to increase the adenovirus transduction level and mediated gene delivery of human adipose stem cells with the use of valproic acid (VPA) and determined the proper concentration and duration of treatment alone or in combination with ViraDuctin adenovirus transduction reagent.MethodsGreen fluorescent protein–expressing recombinant adenovirus was propagated. The effects of various doses and exposure periods of VPA on CAR expression in human adipose stem cells were speculated by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and adenoviral transduction rate by flow cytometry in different doses and time intervals of VPA and in combination with ViraDuctin transduction reagent.ResultsCAR messenger RNA upregulation through VPA was observed in human adipose stem cells; it was a dependent factor of dose and exposure time. Consequently, adenoviral transduction level of human adipose stem cells treated with VPA was increased, and co-administration of VPA and ViraDuctin further enhanced the transduction rate.ConclusionsThese results confirm that addition of VPA to hASCs alone or in combination with ViraDuctin has enhancing effects on adenoviral transduction rate, which can be auspicious in adenoviral-mediated gene therapy. 相似文献

Nonhuman primate model systems of autologous CD34+ cell transplant are the most effective means to assess the safety and capabilities of lentivirus vectors. Toward this end, we tested the efficiency of marking, gene expression, and transplant of bone marrow and peripheral blood CD34+ cells using a self-inactivating lentivirus vector (CS-Rh-MLV-E) bearing an internal murine leukemia virus long terminal repeat derived from a murine retrovirus adapted to replicate in rhesus macaques. In vitro cytokine stimulation was not required to achieve efficient transduction of CD34+ cells resulting in marking and gene expression of the reporter gene encoding enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) following transplant of the CD34+ cells. Monkeys transplanted with mobilized peripheral blood CD34+ cells resulted in EGFP expression in 1 to 10% of multilineage peripheral blood cells, including red blood cells and platelets, stable for 15 months to date. The relative level of gene expression utilizing this vector is 2- to 10-fold greater than that utilizing a non-self-inactivating lentivirus vector bearing the cytomegalovirus immediate-early promoter. In contrast, in animals transplanted with autologous bone marrow CD34+ cells, multilineage EGFP expression was evident initially but diminished over time. We further tested our lentivirus vector system by demonstrating gene transfer of the human common gamma-chain cytokine receptor gene (gamma(c)), deficient in X-linked SCID patients and recently successfully used to treat disease. Marking was 0.42 and.001 HIV-1 vector DNA copy per 100 cells in two animals. To date, all EGFP- and gamma(c)-transplanted animals are healthy. This system may prove useful for expression of therapeutic genes in human hematopoietic cells. 相似文献

MSCs (mesenchymal stem cells) derived from the bone marrow have shown to be a promising source of stem cells in a therapeutic strategy of neurodegenerative disorder. Also, MSCs can enhance the TH (tyrosine hydroxylase) expression and DA (dopamine) content in catecholaminergic cells by in vitro co‐culture system. In the present study, we investigated the effect of intrastriatal grafts of MSCs on TH protein and gene levels and DA content in adult intact rats. When MSCs were transplanted into the striatum of normal rats, the grafted striatum not only had significantly higher TH protein and mRNA levels, but also significantly higher DA content than the untransplanted striatum. Meanwhile, the grafted MSCs differentiated into neurons, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes; however, TH‐positive cells could not be detected in our study. These experimental results offer further evidence that MSCs are a promising candidate for treating neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease. 相似文献
