Sphingolipids have recently emerged as a biomarker of recurrence and mortality after myocardial infarction (MI). The increased ceramide levels in mammalian heart tissues during acute MI, demonstrated by several groups, is associated with higher cell death rates the left ventricle deteriorated cardiac function. Ceramidase, only enzyme known to hydrolyze proapoptotic ceramide, generates sphingosine, which then phosphorylated sphingosine kinase produce prosurvival molecule...
Gene therapy with adeno-associated virus (AAV)-based vectors shows great promise for the gene therapeutic treatment of a broad array diseases. In fact, genetic diseases AAV is currently only in vivo approach that approved by US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Unfortunately, pre-existing antibodies against severely limit patient population can potentially benefit from therapy, especially if vector delivered intravenous injection. Here, we demonstrate selectively deplete anti-AAV...
Inhibition of pulmonary fibrosis (PF) by restoring sarco/endoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase 2a isoform (SERCA2a) expression using targeted gene therapy may be a potentially powerful new treatment approach for PF. Here, we found that SERCA2a was significantly decreased in lung samples from patients with PF and the bleomycin (BLM) mouse model In BLM-induced model, intratracheal aerosolized adeno-associated virus serotype 1 (AAV1) encoding human (AAV1.hSERCA2a) reduces associated vascular...
