  • Publication number: 20240076689
    Abstract: This invention generally relates to the field of somatic gene therapy. The invention provides a nucleic acid construct comprising a transgene encoding a therapeutic protein, a tetracycline-responsive aptazyme sequence, and inverted terminal repeats (ITRs). The nucleic acid construct can be transferred to a subject in need thereof in the form of a viral vector, in particular an adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector. The Tet-responsive aptazyme sequence allows for a tightly controlled expression of the transgene in the subject, thereby avoiding toxic side effects. The nucleic acid construct and the viral vectors comprising same are particularly useful in the treatment of proliferative diseases like cancer.

  • Publication number: 20240011033
    Abstract: Viral vector comprising: a capsid and a packaged nucleic acid, wherein the nucleic acid either augments the miRNA downregulated in a Bleomycin-induced lung fibrosis model or in an AAV-TGF?1-induced lung fibrosis model, or wherein the nucleic acid inhibits the miRNA up-regulated in a Bleomycin-induced lung fibrosis model or in an AAV-TGF?1-induced lung fibrosis model.
