Abstract:
:We established a simple and highly efficient method for in vivo gene transfer using HVJ (Sendai virus) and liposomes. Plasmid DNA and high mobility group 1 (HMG1) protein were co-encapsulated in liposomes by agitation and sonication and were co-introduced into cells by HVJ-mediated membrane fusion. pACT SVT DNA, as a reporter gene, was introduced into the kidney of intact rats through a cannula in the renal artery, and SV40 large T antigen was detected by enzyme immunohistochemistry in glomerular cells 4 days after its introduction. This newly developed kidney-directed gene transfer method should be useful not only in basic research but also in potential gene therapeutics of renal diseases.

杂志文章abstract::It has recently been reported that expression of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) plays a protective role against many diseases. Furthermore, n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) were shown to induce HO-1 expression in several cells in vitro, and in a few cases also in vivo. However, very few reports have demonstrated that ...
