摘要:
The invention relates to a nucleic acid construct which constitutes a self-enhancing expression system and which comprises the following components: at least one first structural gene that encodes an active compound; at least one second structural gene that encodes a transcription factor protein; and at least one activation sequence comprised of at least one sequence that binds the transcription factor protein and at least one promoter sequence; wherein each activation sequence activates the expression of a structural gene and the expression of the transcription factor protein; and to the use of the nucleic acid construct for preparing a drug for treating diseases.
摘要:
A DNA sequence is disclosed for the genetic therapy of diseases of the central nervous system. The essential components for the DNA sequence are the activator sequence, the promoter module, and the active substance coding gene. The activator sequence is specifically activated in activated endothelial or glial cells. Activation is cell cycle-regulated by the promoter module. The active substance represents an inhibitor of the nerve growth factor, a dopanine metabolism enzyme, and/or a nerve cell protection factor. The disclosed DNA sequence is inserted into a viral or non-viral vector, supplemented with a ligand with affinity for the target cells.
摘要:
Nucleic acid constructs are disclosed which possess a nuclear retention signal which is linked, downstream in the reading direction, to a transgene. The nuclear retention signal can regulate the presence of the transcription product in the cell nucleus or else the intracellular transport of the transcription product.
摘要:
The invention relates to a nucleic acid construct for expressing an active substance which is activated by an enzyme which is released from mammalian cells, which construct comprises the following components: a) at least one promoter element, b) at least one DNA sequence which encodes an active compound (protein B) c) a least one DNA sequence which encodes an amino acid sequence (part structure C) which can be cleaved specifically by an enzyme which is released from a mammalian cell, and d) at least one DNA sequence which encodes a peptide or protein (part structure D) which is bound to the active compound (protein B) by way of the cleavable amino acid sequence (part structure C) and inhibits the activity of the active compound (protein B), and also to the use of the nucleic acid construct for preparing a drug for treating diseases.
摘要:
A DNA sequence for the gene therapy of tumors is described. In its essential elements, the DNA sequence is composed of an activator sequence, a promoter module and a gene for the active substance. The activator sequence is activated, in a cell-specific manner, in proliferating endothelial cells or in cells which are adjacent to these endothelial cells. This activation is regulated by the promoter module in a cell cycle-specific manner. The active substance is an inhibitor of angiogenesis or a cytostatic or cytotoxic molecule. The DNA sequence is inserted into a viral or non-viral vector which is supplemented with a ligand which possesses affinity for the activated endothelial cell.
摘要:
The invention relates to the use of at least one active substance for producing a pharmaceutical composition for the prophylaxis and/or treatment of at least one viral disease. It is characterized by active substance(s) which inhibit(s) either at least two kinases or at least one SEK kinase of a cellular signal transmission path such that virus multiplication is inhibited.
摘要:
The invention relates to the use preferably of at least one active ingredient for the prophylaxis and/or therapy of a viral disease, wherein this active ingredient inhibits at least one component of the cellular signal transduction pathway for the activation of the transcription factor NF-kB such that the virus multiplication is inhibited. The present invention relates furthermore to the local, preferably aerogenic administration of the active ingredient according to the invention for inhibiting a virus multiplication. The active ingredient according to the invention may be combined with at least one further antivirally effective substance for the prophylaxis and/or therapy of a viral disease.
