Since 1989 when the gene responsible for cystic fibrosis was cloned and designated the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene, considerable progress has been made in the development of gene therapy for this disease. Clinical trials have already been performed using cationic liposome and adenoviral based gene transfer systems, measuring the safety and efficacy of this new form of treatment, with variable results to date. These two approaches and the current progress in airway gene delivery are discussed.
自1989年导致囊性纤维化的基因被克隆并命名为囊性纤维化跨膜传导调节因子(CFTR)基因以来,针对这种疾病的基因治疗取得了相当大的进展。已经使用基于阳离子脂质体和腺病毒的基因转移系统进行了临床试验,以评估这种新治疗形式的安全性和有效性,迄今为止结果不一。本文讨论了这两种方法以及气道基因递送的当前进展。
