1、GENE THERAPY,GENE THERAPY,Any procedure intended to treat or alleviate disease by genetically modifying the cells of a patient,GENE THERAPY,Delivery mechanism Ex vivo In vivo Type of cells modified Germ-line cells Somatic cells Mechanism of modification Gene augmentation/supplementation Gene replace
2、ment Targeted inhibition of gene expression Targeted killing of specific cells,DELIVERY MECHANISMS,in vivo genetic material transferred directly into cells within a patient ex vivo cells are removed from the patient, genetically modified and transplanted back into the patient,(In vivo),(ex vivo),DEL
3、IVERY MECHANISMS,Germ-line gene therapy Modification of gametes, zygote or early embryo Permanent and transmissible Banned due to ethical issues Somatic cell gene therapy Modification of somatic cells, tissues etc Confined to the patient,TYPES OF CELLS MODIFIED,Targeted at disorders where pathogenes
4、is is reversible Recessive disorders are more amendable to treatment than dominant disorders Gain-of-function mutations are untreatable by GAT,Mechanism of modification 1. Gene augmentation,Mechanism of modification 2. Gene replacement,Mechanism of modification 3. Targeted killing of specific cells,
5、Mechanism of modification 4.Targeted inhibition of gene expression,Gain-of-function diseases where mutant gene is producing a harmful protein,Amenability to gene therapy,Mode of inheritance Identity of molecular defect Nature of mutation product Accessibility of target cells and amenability to cell
6、culture Size of coding DNA Control of gene expression,Gene transfer,Cloned gene,Vectors in use,Viral Retro- Adeno- Adeno-associated- Herpes simplex- Non-viral Naked DNA/Plasmid liposomes,Retroviruses,create cDNA copies from the viral RNA genome integrate into the human genome Maximum insert size 7-7
7、.5 kb Preexisting host immunity unlikely Can only transduce dividing cells May cause insertional mutagenesis,Retroviruses,Lentiviruses (e.g HIV) Maximum insert size 7-7.5 kb Can transduce non-dividing cells May cause insertional mutagenesis,Adenoviruses,Are double stranded DNA genome that cause resp
8、iratory, intestinal, and eye infections in humans Maximum insert size 30 kb Can transduce dividing and non-dividing cells Extensive unwanted immunological responses Episomal- do not integrate Have to be reinserted when more cells divide Pre-existing host immunity,small, single stranded DNA viruses p

11、,First gene therapy trial for ADA deficiency -1990,Gene therapy for OTC deficiency,In 1999, 18-year-old Jesse Gelsinger died from multiple organ failure 4 days after treatment for ornithine transcarbomylase deficiency. Death was triggered by severe immune response to the adenoviral vector,Gene thera
