Abstract:
This invention relates to the use of recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) vectors to transduce cardiomyocytes DOLLAR I(in vivo) by infusing the rAAV into a coronary artery or coronary sinus. rAAV infection is not associated with detectable myocardial inflammation or myocyte necrosis. Thus, rAAV is a useful vector for the stable expression of therapeutic genes in the myocardium and can be used to deliver genes for inducing angiogenesis, inhibiting angiogenesis, stimulating cell proliferation, inhibiting cell proliferation and/or treating or ameliorating other cardiovascular conditions.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a specific gene expression to cardiac muscle and to coronary vascular smooth muscle. SOLUTION: This method is used for expression of a gene product in a cardiac muscle cell and comprises (a) a step for infusing an adenovirus vector construct comprising a coding sequence that encodes the gene product into the blood flow of a coronary artery or a coronary sinus perfusing the cardiac muscle cell wherein the vector drives expression of the gene product in the muscle cell and (b) a step for obtaining expression of the gene product in the cardiac muscle cell.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the use of adenovirus-mediated gene transfer to regulate function in cardiac and vascular smooth muscle cells. A recombinant adenovirus comprising a DNA sequence that codes for a gene product is delivered to a cardiac or vascular smooth muscle cell and the cell is maintained until that gene product is expressed. Delivery is direct injection into a muscle cell or infusing a pharmaceutical composition containing an adenovirus vector construct intravascularly.
