  • RECOMBINANT ADENOVIRUS EXPRESSING ALPHA-A-CRYSTALLIN GENE AND GENE THERAPY FOR RETINALVASCULAR DISEASE USING THE SAME
    Publication number: 20140017203
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a recombinant adenovirus expressing an ?A-crystallin gene, and gene therapy for retinal vascular disease using the recombinant adenovirus. Gene therapy using the recombinant adenovirus comprising an ?A-crystallin gene of the present invention increases the expression level of the ?A-crystallin gene in the damaged retinal pericytes to suppress pericyte loss and death, retinal vascular leakage, and leukocyte adhesion surrounding retinal vessels, thereby protecting the pericytes. Therefore, it can be used for the prevention and treatment of various retinal vascular diseases including diabetic retinopathy.
