摘要:
The present invention relates to nucleotide sequences coding for human porphobilinogen deaminase that are optimised for higher expression in mammalian cells. The invention further relates to DNA constructs comprising such optimised synthetic coding sequences for use in gene therapy of conditions caused by a deficiency in porphobilinogen deaminase, such as acute intermittent porphyria. Accordingly, the present invention relates to a nucleic acid or a nucleic acid construct comprising a nucleotide sequence coding for a human porphobilinogen deaminase, wherein at least 320 of the codons coding for the human porphobilinogen deaminase are identical to the codons in SEQ ID NO: 1 or wherein at least 305 of the codons coding for the human porphobilinogen deaminase are identical to the codons in SEQ ID NO: 3.

摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for treating nonalcoholic steatotic hepatitis (NASH) in a subject by administering an effective amount of a lipoprotein lipase (LPL) therapeutic to the subject. The LPL therapeutic is advantageously a S447X protein or a derivative or variant thereof, or a nucleic acid encoding such a protein. The LPL therapeutic may be used in a gene therapy vector.
摘要:
The present invention to methods for producing mononuclear cells overexpressing IL-10. The method comprises the ex vivo introduction of an expression construct comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide having IL-10 activity into peripheral blood mononuclear cells of a subject. The thus obtained peripheral blood mononuclear cells have an altered phenotype as a result of the expression of an introduced IL-10 transgene. In particular the invention relates to CD4+ T cells that functionally behave as regulatory T cells as a result of the expression of an IL-10 transgene. The IL-10 transgenic mononuclear cells may be used to treat a variety of inflammatory diseases, particularly T helper 1-mediated inflammatory diseases.

摘要:
The present invention relates to an alanine glyoxylate aminotransferase (AGXT) I340M therapeutic for use as a medicament or in a method of treatment, for example in the treatment of an AGXT-responsive condition. The AGXT I340M therapeutic is an AGXT I340M protein comprising an amino acid sequence, which, when optimally aligned with SEQ ID NO: 2, comprises a methionine at a position corresponding to position 340 in SEQ ID NO: 2, a nucleic acid molecule encoding such an AGXT I340M protein, or a virion of a viral gene therapy vector comprising such a nucleic acid molecule. The AGXT I340M therapeutic has a higher specific activity as compared to other AGXT alleles and may therefore be advantageously used in the treatment of primary hyperoxaluria type I.
