Gene Therapy Correcting defective genes

Definition & history  Normal gene inserted into the genome to replace non-functional gene  Trials began in 1990  Cystic fibrosis gene moderately successful © 2010 Paul Billiet ODWSODWS

Vectors  Viruses eg retro viruses, adenoviruses (commonly used)  Direct introduction (“golden bullets”)  Liposomes  Endocytosis of DNA bound to cell surface receptors (low efficiency)  Artificial chromosome (under development)) © 2010 Paul Billiet ODWSODWS

Problems  Acute immune response to viral vectors  Repeated treatment needed Genes “lost” when the cell goes through mitosis  Viral vectors could become pathogenic  Genes spliced at random into the genome could upset other genes  Multigene disorders too complex to treat © 2010 Paul Billiet ODWSODWS

Applications  Curing genetic diseases  Correcting cancer genes  Inducing cancerous cells to make toxins so they kill themselves  Blocking viral genes (e.g. HIV)  Creating stem cells from somatic cells © 2010 Paul Billiet ODWSODWS

The future  Gene therapy on sex cells of carriers  Gene therapy on fertilised egg cells © 2010 Paul Billiet ODWSODWS

Ethical problems  Gene therapy for serious genetic diseases OK but for other health problems?  Somatic cell treatment stays with the individual, germ cell treatment passes down the germ line (becomes immortal)  Very costly. Who pays? Who is eligible? © 2010 Paul Billiet ODWSODWS
