Factor IX Hemophilia B AAV Intramuscular injection into hindlimb<br />

muscles of C57BL/6 mice and Rag 1<br />

Delivery to rat carotids after balloon<br />

injury; inhibition of Cdc2 kinase and<br />

PCNA with antisense oligonucleotides<br />

using PS:PC:Chol liposomes<br />

VEGF promotes endothelial cell<br />

proliferation to accelerate reendothelialization<br />

of the artery reducing<br />

intimal thickening<br />

Tissue kallikrein is a serine proteinase<br />

cleaving the kininogen to produce the<br />

vasoactive kinin peptide; kinin causes<br />

smooth muscle contraction and<br />

relaxation, increase in vascular<br />

permeability, and vasodilatation<br />

Presence of hF.IX protein by<br />

immunofluorescence staining of<br />

muscles harvested 3 months after<br />

injection in both strains of mice; no<br />

plasma FIX in immunocompetent<br />

mice; Rag 1 mice which lack<br />

functional B and T cells, displayed<br />

therapeutic levels (200-350 ng/ml) of<br />

F. IX in the plasma in addition to<br />

F.IX in muscle cells<br />

10% to 43% of normal human factor<br />

X levels in 4 rats; expression<br />

remained stable for more than 10<br />

months in two rats<br />

Iv injection of p53 gene under control<br />

of β-actin promoter and intron every<br />

10-12 days resulted in more than<br />

60% reduction in tumor volume<br />

Whereas antisense cdc2 kinase or<br />

PCNA alone failed to have an effect,<br />

combination of the two antisense<br />

oligos significantly reduced<br />

neointima formation and smooth<br />

muscle cell proliferation after balloon<br />

injury<br />

VEGF gene expression using ELISA<br />

or RT-PCR was detected for 3-14<br />

days after a single transfer using a<br />

hydrogel/polymer-coated ballon<br />

angioplasty catheter to induce<br />

simultaneous injury and delivery of<br />

plasmid to the femoral artery in<br />

rabbits.<br />

Significant reduction in blood<br />

pressure in spontaneously<br />

hypersensitive rats after a single<br />

delivery of naked DNA to portal vein<br />

which lasted for 5-6 weeks.<br />

Kallikrein hypertension Adeno Sustained delay in the increase in<br />

blood pressure from day 2 to day 41<br />

post injection (iv) into spontaneously<br />

hypertensive rats; human tissue<br />

kallikrein mRNA was detected in the<br />

liver, kidney, spleen, adrenal gland,<br />

and aorta.<br />

Angiotensinogen, produces angiotensin<br />

I in the liver (component of the reninangiotensin<br />

system); mutations in the<br />

angiotensinogen (AT) gene are<br />

associated with hypertension<br />

hypertension Subphysiological amounts in blood<br />

vessels of spontaneously hypertensive<br />

rats<br />

Delivery of the human kallistatin<br />

cDNA/CMV by portal vein injection<br />

resulted in a significant reduction of<br />

blood pressure of hypertensive rats<br />

for 4 weeks.<br />

Significant reduction of systemic<br />

blood pressure for 5 to 6 weeks.<br />

Antisense oligonucleotides delivered<br />

to rat liver via the portal vein<br />

diminished the expression of hepatic<br />

angiotensinogen mRNA and reduced<br />

blood pressure.<br />

Restored the physiological levels<br />

levels of bFGF in the vascular wall<br />
