  • Publication number: 20250115906
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a Schwann cell-specific promoter and use thereof. More particularly, the present invention relates to an artificially engineered minimal promoter that specifically operates in Schwann cells, wherein the artificially engineered minimal promoter is derived from an MPZ (Myelin Protein Zero or PO) promoter. In addition, the present invention relates to a vector using the Schwann cell-specific promoter and a method for treating Schwann cell-related diseases using same.

  • Publication number: 20230287461
    Abstract: Provided is a platform for expressing a protein of interest by artificially manipulating the liver, and more particularly, to a platform for alleviating or treating a genetic disorder or improving a body function by inducing expression by inserting a transgene (e.g., a therapeutic gene) which can function or be expressed normally, into a high-expression secretory gene, instead of a disease gene which functions or is expressed abnormally. The high-expression secretory gene includes the HP or APOC3 gene. The transgene includes one that is highly expressed using a promoter in a hepatocyte genome and is secretory out of the cell.

  • Publication number: 20230190889
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a composition for gene manipulation for artificially manipulating a blood coagulation inhibitory gene present in the genome of a cell to regulate a blood coagulation system. More particularly, the present invention relates to a composition for gene manipulation, which includes a guide nucleic acid capable of targeting a blood coagulation inhibitory gene, and an editor protein. Also, the present invention relates to a method of treating or improving coagulopathy using the composition for gene manipulation for artificially manipulating a blood coagulation inhibitory gene.

  • Publication number: 20200263204
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a CRISPR/Cas system having an inversion correction potential, which uses at least one guide RNA targeting a sequence region where two different homologs present on genomic introns are conjugated to each other in an inversion manner, and a Cas protein, and a CRISPR/Cas system of FVIII gene inversion correction potential that uses at least one guide RNA targeting an int22-1/3 homolog or int22-1/2 homolog sequence region present on intron 22 of coagulation factor VIII (F8) gene and a Cas protein. A CRISPR/Cas system according to the present invention comprises a system which employs a small-size Cas9 and a guide RNA fitted thereto, thereby enabling all CRISPR/Cas instruments to be easily packaged in one AAV, which is impossible in conventional large-size Cas9.
