    摘要: The present invention provides compositions and methods for the mitigation of side effects of chemotherapy, for example in human subjects with hematologic malignancies (such as lymphoma, leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome) as well as subjects with other malignancies or other conditions that may be treated with chemotherapy, such as high dose therapy (HOT) or a combination of high dose HDT and a hematopoietic stem cell transplant. The methods comprise administration of endothelial cells, such as engineered human umbilical vein endothelial cells engineered to express the adenoviral E40RF1 protein (E40RF1+HUVECs), to human subjects. The side effects mitigated by the compositions and methods of the invention include, but are not limited to, oral/gastrointestinal side effects and febrile neutropenia.

    摘要: The present invention provides improved methods for gene delivery to, or genetic modification of target cells, wherein the gene delivery or other genetic modification of the target cells is performed in the presence of endothelial cells, or after co-culture of the target cells with endothelial cells, or wherein co-culture of the target cells with endothelial cells is employed immediately alter gene delivery in order to “rescue” cells that may have been damaged during the gene delivery process. In some embodiments gene delivery is performed by transfection. In some embodiments gene delivery is performed by transduction, in some embodiments the endothelial cells are organ-specific endothelial cells. In some embodiments the endothelial cells are E40RF1-expressing endothelial cells (E40RF1+ ECs). In some embodiments the target cells are stem cells, such as hematopoietic stem cells.
