摘要:
The present invention is related to compositions and methods for the delivery of nucleic acids to neurons in a mammal, and uses thereof. The present invention specifically discloses the use of compounds that cause synaptic nerve sprouting to increase neuron retrograde transport of a vector or a product (a polypeptide or a nucleic acid for example) in a mammal. The invention is also based on the use of a compound that interacts with synaptosomal associated proteins to increase neuron retrograde transport of a vector or a product such as one cited above in a mammal. The invention also relates to a product comprising a viral vector comprising a transgene and a compound that causes synaptic nerve sprouting, for sequential use for delivering said transgene to neurons by retrograde transport and its uses for the preparation of a composition used as a treatment in several neurological disorders. The methods and compositions of this invention can be used to deliver various transgenes, such as markers, vaccines, therapeutic genes etc., and are suitable for experimental, therapeutic or various other applications.
摘要:
The present invention relates to methods and compositions for delivering nucleic acids to motor neurons by administering the nucleic acids to muscle tissue. The invention relates to methods for treating pathologies of the nervous system, such as trauma and 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:
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:
The present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions that act on the p53 protein or its gene and methods of use for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.
摘要:
The present invention relates to methods and compositions for delivering a nucleic acid to motor neurons administering the nucleic acid to muscle tissue. The invention relates to methods for treating pathologies of the nervous system, such as trauma and neurodegenerative 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 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.
