  1. Gene Therapy Phung Nguyen

  2. Brief Overview • What Gene Therapy Is • The Different Methods of Gene Therapy • Ex vivo: indirect injection • Types of tissue removed and process • Viral and Non-viral • In vivo: direct injection • Viral and Non-Viral • Uses and Costs of Gene Therapy

  3. What is Gene Therapy? Purpose: treating genetic disorders with the use of vectors to introduce healthy DNA in a host with damaged DNA.

  4. Viral • Retrovirus • Murine leukemia virus • RNA to DNA • Tends to cause cancer • Lentivirus • Made from more dangerous viruses • Ebola, HVI, and others. • Can effect non-dividing cells • Adenovirus • Such as the common cold virsus • Requires readministration • Adeno-associated virus • Not lethal to human • Can infect dividing and non-diving cells alike

  5. Adeno-associated virus • Has not been found to cause illness in humans. • No immune response from humans • Has been shown to infect chromosome 19 with a 100% success rate with the help of a rep gene. • Makes the infection more predictable and lessen chances of complications • Has a very low uptake frequency • Usually does not combine with host genome • Needs a helper virus to replicate • A lysogenic pathway unlikely without that helper virus

  6. Non-Viral • Naked DNA • DNA simply goes into cell (much like transformation) • Safest method but least efficient • Lipid Carriers • Genetic information shuttled in a liposome • Gene Gun • Genes covered and gold and shot into the body • Electroporation • Shock of electricity to cause pores to form in cell

  7. Lipid Carriers (lipoplex) • Most commonly used are cationic lipids • Have a positive charge to compact negative DNA • Forms complex with DNA • Lipoplex • Promotes Endocytosis • Protects DNA from degradation

  8. Mechanism of Infection • Lipoplex • Enters host cell through Endocytosis • Lipoplex is degraded and DNA is released • DNA is taken up into the nucleus • Recombination occurs and DNA is in genome • Adeno-associated virus • Binds to receptors on cell membrane • Virus particles injected into cell • (process not fully understood) • Gene is expressed by host cell • But usually not taken up into genome

  9. Lipoplex Cationic lipid complex with DNA (Lipoplex)

  10. Adeno-associated virus

  11. Practical Uses and Cost • Has already been implemented in many clinical trials all around the world since 1990. • Has been shown to treat cystic fibrosis, cancer, arthritis, Parkinson’s, and other illnesses caused by genetic mishaps. • Cost is not yet known. • Not readily available to the masses • Mostly still only seen in clinical trails • No Bioshock quite yet • Ethical Cost?

  12. Alternative Methods • Protein Therapy • Simply injects needed protein into patients body • Temporary Solution • Difficult to deliver proteins into cells • Hard to get proteins into cell
