| Popis: | Gene therapy is thought to be a promising method for the treatment of various diseases. One gene therapy strategy involves the manipulations on a process of formation of new vessels, commonly defined as angiogenesis. Angiogenic and antiangiogenic gene therapy is a new therapeutic approach to the treatment of cardiovascular and cancer patients, respectively. So far, preclinical and clinical studies are successfully focused mainly on the treatment of coronary artery and peripheral artery diseases. Plasmid vectors are often used in preparations in angiogenic gene therapy trials. The naked plasmid DNA effectively transfects the skeletal muscles or heart and successfully expresses angiogenic genes that are the result of new vessel formation and the improvement of the clinical state of patients. The clinical preliminary data, although very encouraging, need to be well discussed and further study surely continued. It is really possible that further development of molecular biology methods and advances in gene delivery systems will cause therapeutic angiogenesis as well as antiangiogenic methods to become a supplemental or alternative option to the conventional methods of treatment of angiogenic diseases. |
