摘要:
The present invention relates to nucleic acid regulatory elements that are able to enhance diaphragm-specific expression of genes, in particular expression in diaphragm as such, or in combination with expression in cardiac muscle and/or skeletal muscle, methods employing these regulatory elements and uses of these elements. Expression cassettes and vectors containing these nucleic acid regulatory elements are also disclosed. The present invention is particularly useful for applications using gene therapy, more particularly muscle and/or heart tissue directed gene therapy, and for vaccination purposes.

The present invention relates to nucleic acid regulatory elements that are able to enhance muscle-specific expression of genes, in particular expression in muscle cells and/or tissues such as in diaphragm, smooth muscle, heart and/or skeletal muscle, comprising at least two diaphragm-specific regulatory elements and a heart- and skeletal muscle-specific regulatory element. The present invention further relates to expression cassettes and vectors containing these nucleic acid regulatory elements, as well as uses thereof. The present invention is particularly useful for applications using gene therapy of muscle-related disorders, more particularly diaphragm, heart and/or skeletal muscle-directed gene therapy, and for vaccination purposes.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a nucleic acid molecule encoding human albumin for increasing the levels and/or activity of a protein or polypeptide encoded by a transgene, comprising a sequence defined by SEQ ID NO: 14 or a sequence having at least 80% sequence identity to said sequence, its use in nucleic acid expression cassettes and vectors containing liver-specific regulatory elements and codon- optimized factor IX, factor VIII, factor VII or factor VIla transgenes, methods employing these expression cassettes and vectors and uses thereof. The present invention is particularly useful for applications using liver-directed gene therapy, in particular for the treatment of hemophilia A, hemophilia B or factor VII deficiency.
摘要:
The invention relates to polynucleotides suitable for reducing or eliminating the expression of expanded repeat RNA (CUGexp) of the dystrophy myotonic-protein kinase (DMPK) gene in a cell of a DM-1 patient. The polynucleotides are a combination of a polynucleotide for a site specific nuclease targeting the dystrophy myotonic- protein kinase (DMPK) gene locus, and a donor polynucleotide having 5' and 3' regions which are homologous with the sequence of DMPK gene which flank the target site of the nuclease. The invention further relate to in vivo and in vitro methods to reduce or eliminate CTG repeats in the DMPK gene. The invention further relates to the medical use of polynucleotides and cells for treating DM-1 patient.
