Abstract:
Cell based therapy comprises administration to the lung by injection into the blood system of viable, mammalian cells effective for alleviating or inhibiting pulmonary disorders. The cells may express a therapeutic transgene or the cells may be therapeutic in their own right by inducing regenerative effects.

Abstract:
Early onset of pulmonary disorders such as pulmonary hypertension are treated or prevented by administration of an apoptosis inhibitor or a survival factor. Early onset of such disorders may be diagnosed by assessing apoptosis in lung tissue.
Abstract:
Nucleic acid molecules comprising truncated forms of the human cytomegalovirus (CMV) promoter are operably linked to a transgene of interest, including those encoding eNOS protein are taught. Vectors comprising these nucleic acid molecules and host cells transformed by these vectors and methods of producing cellular compositions are used for the treatment of a variety of pulmonary and cardiac diseases. There is provided a truncated human cytomegalovirus (CMV) enhancer element comprising SEQ ID NO: 1 or a functional derivative thereof. A truncated human cytomegalovirus (CMV) promoter comprising the truncated CMV enhancer element is taught. A polynucleotide expression cassette comprising the truncated CMV promoter and a transcribable polynucleotide operably linked to the truncated CMV promoter polynucleotide construct, a host cell comprising the polynucleotide expression cassette, and use of the host cell treat renal, vascular, pulmonary, or cardiac disease in the patient are taught.
Abstract:
Uso de células de mamífero transfectadas, viables, seleccionadas de fibroblastos y células endoteliales, conteniendo dichas células de mamífero transfectadas al menos un transgen expresable que codifica un factor angiogénico o vasoactivo para la preparación de una composición farmacéutica para aliviar un trastorno pulmonar en un paciente o síntomas del mismo, en donde dicha composición farmacéutica se ha de administrar a la circulación pulmonar de un paciente mamífero.
