摘要:
The invention concerns a recombinant DNA vector characterized in that it is capable of directing the expression an/or transcription of a selected nucleotide sequence in the cells of the central nervous system and in that it comprises (i) at least part of the genome of an adenovirus, including the regions required for that adenovirus to penetrate into the cells normally infectable by that adenovirus and (ii) being inserted into said part of genome of an adenovirus under the control of a promoter, either present or also inserted into said genome part and operative in said cells. This recombinant vector finds particular use in the treatment of diseases of the central nervous system, also in gene therapy.

摘要:
Recombinant adenoviruses comprising a heterologous DNA sequence coding for basic blast growth factors (bFGF), preparation and uses thereof for the treatment and/or prevention of neurodegenerative diseases.
摘要:
Recombinant adenoviruses comprising a heterologous DNA sequence coding for glial-derived neurotrophic growth factor (GDNF) are provided. The recombinant adenoviruses are useful in a method of expressing GDNF in a cell, wherein the cell is present in a mammal suffering from Parkinson's disease, comprising infecting said cell with a replication-defective recombinant adenovirus comprising a DNA sequence encoding GDNF operably linked to a promoter by administering the adenovirus into cells of the central nervous system. The recombinant adenoviruses of the invention are also useful in a method of treating Parkinson's disease comprising administering into cells of the central nervous system of a mammal suffering therefrom a replication defective recombinant adenovirus comprising ITRs, an encapsidation sequence and a DNA sequence encoding GDNF operably linked to a promoter, wherein the adenovirus E1 gene is non-functional and GDNF is expressed at a level that provides a therapeutic effect.
摘要:
A defective recombinant adenovirus including at least one DNA sequence coding for all or an active part of a superoxide dismutase or a derivative thereof. The therapeutical use thereof and corresponding pharmaceutical compositions are also disclosed.

Recombinant adenoviruses comprising a heterologous DNA sequence coding for glial-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), preparation thereof, and use thereof for treating and/or preventing degenerative neurological diseases.
摘要:
The invention concerns a novel method for treating motor neuron diseases and particularly amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. It consists more particularly in the systemic administration of expression systems of neurotrophic factors.
摘要:
The present invention pertains to the use of compounds affecting the activity of transcription factors for the preparation of a pharmaceutical composition for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.
摘要:
The present invention relates to nucleic acid sequences producing at least one functional miRNA, at least one functional shRNA and/or at least one functional siRNA, said miRNA, shRNA or siRNA being designed to silence the expression of a gene that encodes a cholinergic protein. The present invention further relates to compositions and kits comprising such nucleic acid sequences as well as to uses thereof.
摘要:
The invention concerns a non-integrative and non-replicative recombinant lentivirus as well as its uses, in particular for preparing a composition for transferring genes in vitro, ex vivo or in vivo. The invention is useful for transferring genes in any mammal organism, for example in liver, muscle, pancreas or central nervous system (including the ocular sphere) tissues or cells, and in particular for treating disorders or pathologies such as, for example, central nervous system, including the ocular sphere, disorders.
