Gene Therapy
In an attempt to cure the childrenwho would otherwise die at a young agephysicians used gene therapy to provide them with normal gammac genes.

Extractions: Gene Therapy This particular trial has had striking success as well as tragedy. Eight of the eleven children are currently thriving. However, in two cases the therapy successfully introduced gamma-c genes, but these children have since developed leukemia. In both children, a gamma-c gene inserted next to another gene, called . The gene has previously been linked to leukemia, and scientists speculate that the insertion of the gamma-c gene next to may have overstimulated the gene, causing T cells to proliferate in excess. An effect, in combination with the proliferation-inducing effects of the gamma-c gene itself, may be the cause of the leukemia in these two patients. Scientists are still investigating other possible causes. From this single trial, it is clear that gene therapy holds significant promise, yet it is also clear that it poses significant risks.

Extractions: Neurologix, Inc. (OTCBB:NRGX), a biotech company engaged in the research and development of innovative gene therapies for the brain and central nervous system, announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has granted Fast Track Designation for the company's experimental gene transfer procedure for the treatment of advanced Parkinson's disease. The Neurologix procedure delivers a gene (glutamic acid decarboxylase, or GAD) to the subthalamic nucleus of the brain, where it makes an inhibitory neurotransmitter called GABA that helps to quiet the abnormal brain activity that is correlated with motor deficits characterizing Parkinson's disease. Results of a Phase 1 clinical study showed that the Neurologix gene transfer procedure was both well tolerated and resulted in improved motor function and brain metabolism for patients with advanced Parkinson's disease over the course of the one-year study. Neurologix is currently preparing to initiate a Phase 2 study of its Parkinson's disease treatment by early 2008, subject to final FDA consent to the study protocol.

Background Gene therapy Developing therapies News Features Background ... Treating disease 27/8/02. By Richard Twyman The treatment of a disease by introducing DNA into the cells of the patient. There are several types of gene therapy: This is appropriate for the treatment of inherited disorders caused by the loss of a functional gene product. The aim is to add a functional copy of the lost gene back into the genome and express it at sufficient levels to replace the missing protein. It is only suitable if the pathogenic effects of the disease are reversible. This is suitable for the treatment of infectious diseases, cancer and inherited disorders caused by inappropriate gene activity. The aim is to introduce a gene whose product inhibits the expression of the pathogenic gene or interferes with the activity of its product. This is suitable for diseases such as cancer that can be cured by eliminating certain populations of cells. The aim is to express within such cells a suicide gene, whose product is toxic. One approach is the expression of an enzyme that converts a harmless prodrug into a highly toxic molecule. Another is the expression of a protein that makes the cells vulnerable to attack by the immune system. It is very important to ensure that suicide genes are appropriately targeted, otherwise the therapy would result in widespread cell death.

Extractions: Sept. 9, 2001 UPTON, NY - Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory have shown that increasing the level of a brain protein important for transmitting pleasure signals can turn rats that prefer alcohol into light drinkers, and those with no preference into near teetotalers. The findings, published in the first September 2001 issue of the Journal of Neurochemistry (Vol. 78, No. 5), may have implications for the prevention and treatment of alcoholism in humans. "This is a preliminary study, but when you see a rat that chooses to drink 80 to 90 percent of its daily fluid as alcohol, and then three days later it's down to 20 percent, that's a dramatic drop in alcohol intake - a very clear change in behavior," said Panayotis Thanos , the lead researcher. "This gives us great hope that we can refine this treatment for future clinical use."

Gene Therapy Research Unit A joint initiative of The Children's Hospital at Westmead and Children's Medical Research Institute Main Projects Publications Staff Contact The ultimate aim of biomedical research is to improve human health, but its more immediate impact, beyond the accumulation of biological knowledge, is an increase in our capacity to diagnose disease. Therapeutic benefits follow, but significantly more slowly. Herein lies a potentially frustrating paradox. When biomedical knowledge is undergoing rapid growth (as it is at present) we can anticipate a widening of the gap between our capacity to diagnose and our capacity to treat disease. For this reason it is fundamentally important that increased effort be focused on realising the therapeutic potential of advances in biological knowledge. Such an effort demands that we explore entirely new therapeutic paradigms and surmount the formidable translational challenges inherent in taking new therapies from the laboratory bench to the patient bedside. Gene Therapy, or "the use of genes as medicine" is one such paradigm, with immense but largely unrealised potential.
