Gene Therapy

- [Docent] Bij gentherapie wordt een gen ingebracht in individuele cellen om ernstige ziekten te voorkomen of behandelen.
 Het kan een gezonde kopie van een gemuteerd gen zijn of een ander gen dat het effect van een beschadigd gen tegengaat.
 Genen kunnen in vivo, direct in een mens, worden ingebracht, of ex vivo, in afgenomen cellen buiten het lichaam, die vervolgens terug in het lichaam worden geplaatst.
Het nieuwe gen wordt met een vector ingebracht, meestal een aangepast virus dat de cel kan binnentreden en het DNA naar de kern brengt.
 Sommige vectoren integreren het DNA met het genoom, terwijl anderen buiten het chromosoom blijven.
 De vectoren hebben een promoter zodat transcriptie van het gen kan plaatsvinden.
Het ge&#xEF;ntroduceerde gen wordt vertaald tot eiwitten die de behandeling vormen voor de ziekte.

gentherapie

Gentherapie is een techniek waarbij een gen in de cellen van een persoon wordt ingebracht om een ernstige ziekte te voorkomen of te behandelen. Het toegevoegde gen kan een gezonde versie zijn van het gen dat bij de pati&#xEB;nt is gemuteerd, of het kan een ander gen zijn dat het ziekteverwekkende gen van de pati&#xEB;nt inactiveert of compenseert. Bij pati&#xEB;nten met ernstige gecombineerde immunodefici&#xEB;ntie (SCID) als gevolg van een mutatie in het gen voor het enzym adenosinedeaminase kan bijvoorbeeld een functionerende versie van het gen worden ingebracht. De cellen van de pati&#xEB;nt kunnen vervolgens het enzym maken, waardoor deze potentieel dodelijke ziekte in sommige gevallen kan worden genezen.

<h4>Gene-insertie</h4>

Genen kunnen op twee manieren in de cellen van een pati&#xEB;nt worden ge&#xEF;ntroduceerd: in vivo &#x2013; rechtstreeks in een persoon via injectie in specifieke weefsels of in de bloedbaan; en ex vivo &#x2013; in cellen die bij de pati&#xEB;nt zijn verwijderd en die worden teruggetransplanteerd nadat het gen is ingebracht.

Het gen wordt meestal in een vector ingebracht &#x2013; vaak een virus dat is aangepast om geen ziekte te veroorzaken&#x2013; om het gen in de cellen van de pati&#xEB;nt te krijgen en aan de kern af te leveren. In sommige gevallen &#x2013; bijvoorbeeld wanneer retrovirale vectoren worden gebruikt &#x2013; wordt het gen willekeurig in het genoom van de persoon ingevoegd, wat leidt tot stabiele expressie van het ingebrachte gen. In andere gevallen &#x2013; zoals wanneer adenovirale vectoren worden gebruikt &#x2013; integreert het gen niet in het genoom van de gastheer en komt het slechts tijdelijk tot expressie. De vector is ook zo ontworpen dat hij een promotergebied bevat, zodat het nieuwe gen kan worden getranscribeerd in messenger-RNA (mRNA). Vervolgens wordt het mRNA met behulp van de eigen machinerie van de cel vertaald in eiwit. Het eiwitproduct &#x2013; zoals adenosinedeaminase &#x2013; zorgt voor de behandeling van de ziekte.

<h4>Klinische onderzoeken</h4>

Gentherapie bevindt zich nog in de beginfase en brengt aanzienlijke risico&#x27;s met zich mee, deels omdat de integratie en activiteit van de ingebrachte genen niet volledig onder controle kunnen worden gehouden. Bij sommige vroege onderzoeken naar gentherapie voor een andere vorm van SCID ontwikkelden sommige pati&#xEB;nten bijvoorbeeld kanker en werden de onderzoeken stopgezet. De technologie wordt echter voortdurend verbeterd, en voor ernstige ziekten waarvoor geen andere effectieve behandeling bestaat, kunnen de voordelen groter zijn dan de risico&#x27;s. Naast SCID omvatten andere ziekten waarbij gentherapie succesvol is geweest een vorm van erfelijke blindheid en behandelingsresistente B-celleukemie.

KEY TERMS AND CONCEPTS

BELANGRIJKE TERMEN EN CONCEPTEN

gene delivery for serious diseases

Gene therapy is a technique used to treat serious disease by adding a gene to a person’s cells. The added gene may be a healthy copy of a mutated gene. It may also be a different gene that inactivates or compensates for the disease-causing gene.

One example is severe combined immunodeficiency, or SCID, caused by a mutation in the gene for adenosine deaminase. In that case, a working copy of the gene can be inserted so the patient’s cells make the enzyme again. This can cure the disease in some cases.

Genes can be delivered in two main ways. In vivo gene delivery means the gene is placed directly into the body, often by injection into a specific tissue or into the bloodstream. Ex vivo gene delivery means cells are removed from the patient, given the gene, and then transplanted back.

The gene is usually carried in a vector, which is often a virus that has been changed so it does not cause disease. The vector helps move the gene into the cell and deliver it to the nucleus. Retroviral vectors can insert the gene randomly into the genome, which can lead to stable expression. Adenoviral vectors do not integrate into the host genome, so their gene expression is temporary.

The vector is also engineered with a promoter region. A promoter helps start transcription, so the new gene is copied into messenger RNA, or mRNA. The cell then uses its own machinery to translate the mRNA into protein. That protein, such as adenosine deaminase, is what helps treat the disease.

Gene therapy is still in an early stage and can carry serious risks because inserted genes are hard to control fully. In some early trials for another form of SCID, some patients developed cancer, and the trials were stopped. Even so, the technology continues to improve, and for serious diseases with no other effective treatment, the benefits can outweigh the risks. Successful uses have included inherited blindness and treatment-resistant B-cell leukemia.

Gene Delivery for Serious Diseases

what is genetic engineering?

How Scientists Edit DNA for New Traits

Genetic engineering changes an organism’s DNA to add useful traits. Scientists use it in bacteria, plants, animals, and even viruses for research, medicine, agriculture, and industry. It can bring major benefits, but it also raises ethical concerns about humans and the food supply. This work is possible because DNA has the same basic structure and genetic code across life. That shared code lets scientists modify DNA in several ways. One method is CRISPR/Cas9, often called molecular scissors,...

dna isolation

Steps in DNA Extraction

DNA extraction is the process of removing and purifying DNA from cells. It is used in many biotechnology and research applications, including molecular cloning. The main goal is to free DNA from the cell and prepare it for later study or use. The first step is cell lysis, which means breaking cells open. Researchers may use a homogenizer, sonicator, or bead beater to physically lyse the cells. They also often add detergent to chemically disrupt the lipid-based cell membranes. This helps...

recombinant dna technology

Recombinant DNA in Cloning and GMOs

Recombinant DNA is made by joining DNA from different sources in the lab. Scientists often use it to clone genes and study them in cells that are easy to handle, such as bacteria. Organisms that carry recombinant DNA are called genetically modified organisms, or GMOs. This technology gives scientists new tools for research, medicine, and agriculture. To build recombinant DNA, researchers place a gene of interest into a vector, which is a DNA carrier that moves foreign DNA into a host cell. The...

PCR Cycle for DNA Amplification

PCR is a laboratory method for making many copies of a DNA segment. It can turn a small amount of DNA into millions or even billions of copies in just a few hours. The process uses a heat-resistant DNA polymerase inside a machine called a thermocycler. PCR was developed by Kary Mullis in 1983, and he received the 1993 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for it. The method is fast, relatively inexpensive, and precise. It has become useful for molecular cloning, gene mutagenesis, pathogen detection, gene...

complementary dna

From mRNA to cDNA for Gene Studies

Complementary DNA, or cDNA, is made from messenger RNA (mRNA) so scientists can study which genes are active in cells and tissues. Only genes that are transcribed into mRNA are expressed. By extracting mRNA from cells, researchers can compare gene expression across samples. cDNA is produced by reverse transcription. This process copies mRNA into DNA, which is useful because mRNA does not contain introns, or non-coding regions, and other regulatory sequences. As a result, cDNA can help...

antibiotic selection

Antibiotic Resistance in Cloning

Antibiotic resistance genes help scientists find bacteria that took up a plasmid with a gene of interest. In genetic engineering, this resistance is used as a marker, not just as a medical concern. The same process also connects to the growing problem of resistant bacteria in the real world. Antibiotics, such as penicillin, stop bacterial growth or kill bacteria. When bacteria naturally have, or are engineered to carry, an antibiotic resistance gene, the antibiotic no longer works on them.

transgenic organisms

Creating Transgenic Plants and Animals

Transgenic organisms are genetically engineered to carry a transgene, which is a gene from a different species, in their genome. The inserted gene may be a new gene for that organism or a different version of one it already has. Scientists usually make transgenes with recombinant DNA and DNA cloning methods. Researchers use transgenic bacteria, plants, and animals to answer biological questions and to build useful tools. To make a transgenic organism, they first choose a transgenesis method,...

in-vitro mutagenesis (gene knockouts)

Knockout Mice and Gene Replacement

Knockout mice help researchers study gene function by showing what happens when a gene is turned off. These engineered animals are also useful for modeling human diseases such as cancer, Parkinson’s disease, and diabetes. A specific gene can be targeted by using a targeting vector, which is a piece of engineered DNA that replaces the normal gene and inactivates it. The vector has matching DNA sequences on both ends. These homologous sequences let the vector swap in for the target gene through...

crispr

CRISPR-Cas9 Gene Editing in Action

CRISPR-Cas9 is a genome editing tool that lets scientists change DNA at a specific location. It can add, remove, or rearrange genetic material. Researchers study it because it may help treat genetic disorders such as hemophilia and sickle cell anemia. CRISPR stands for Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats, and Cas9 is a CRISPR-associated protein 9. The basic system includes a Cas9 endonuclease, which is an enzyme that cuts DNA, and a small RNA that guides Cas9 to the...

In that case, a working copy of the gene can be inserted so the patient’s cells make the enzyme again. This can cure the disease in some...

embryonic stem cells

How Embryonic Stem Cells Become Specialized

Embryonic stem cells are pluripotent cells that have not yet specialized. Pluripotent means they can give rise to many different cell types in the body. Because of this, they are useful in science and medicine for making cells needed in research or for replacing cells lost to damage or disease. These cells come from the inner cell mass of a blastocyst, which is an early embryo about 3 to 5 days after fertilization in humans. At this stage, the embryo has not yet implanted in the uterus. Human...

adult stem cells

Adult Stem Cells in the Small Intestine

Adult stem cells help maintain tissues by replacing old or damaged cells. These undifferentiated cells divide to make more stem cells or progenitor cells, which then become mature, specialized cells. Small groups of adult stem cells are found in many tissues, including the bone marrow, brain, skin, and gut. The small intestine shows this process clearly. Its lining, called the epithelium, is renewed continuously by adult stem cells. It is also the fastest replaced tissue in the human body,...

induced pluripotent stem cells

Reprogramming Mature Cells into Stem Cells

Reprogramming mature cells into stem cells lets scientists turn specialized cells back into an unspecialized state. These cells are called induced pluripotent stem cells, or iPSCs. Like embryonic stem cells, iPSCs are pluripotent, which means they can form all cell types. To make iPSCs, researchers start with mature cells such as skin fibroblasts or blood cells. The cells are grown in culture, and genes for several transcription factors are delivered with a viral vector. The cells then make...

reproductive cloning

Cloning Animals with SCNT

Reproductive cloning can produce a genetically identical copy of an entire organism. In adult animals, this is usually done with somatic cell nuclear transfer, or SCNT. Another way clones can form is by splitting an early embryo, which is similar to how identical twins arise naturally. In SCNT, an egg cell is taken from an animal and its nucleus is removed. This creates an enucleated egg. A somatic cell, which is any body cell that is not a sex cell, is then taken from the animal to be cloned.

genomics

Genomics and DNA Sequencing

Genomics studies the full set of genetic material in an organism. In humans, that genome includes the DNA carried in 23 pairs of chromosomes in the nucleus, along with mitochondrial DNA. Genomics looks at both coding DNA and non-coding DNA, which helps scientists study how living things are built and how they differ. This field is useful in many areas of biology and medicine. Scientists use genomics to build phylogenetic trees, improve crop productivity and sustainability, help with criminal...

Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information on how molecular biotechnology may be used in a variety of fields.
EXPLANATION: The goal is to help students appreciate that the basic science knowledge being studied can be manipulated and used to design useful tools for further scientific investigations, medical treatments, agricultural yields, etc. A detailed understanding of any technical procedures is not expected, but rather a "big picture" view of concepts the technology utilizes and the applications the technology is being used for. These technologies may be best investigated along with the standards from LS1 From Molecules to Organisms: Structure and Functions, as the students are learning about DNA and protein. Comparative DNA and protein sequence analysis is also a large part of current phylogenic research and could accompany LS4 Biological Change: Unity and Diversity. Students may also consider the pros and cons of biotechnical applications. Investigation of techniques utilized could come from field trips to witness the use of these techniques in practice, lab exercises, virtual labs, simulation activities, interviews with professionals, etc. Molecular techniques could include: PCR, electrophoresis, restriction enzyme digestion of DNA, DNA sequencing, plasmid-based transformation, transfection, etc. These techniques are used in fields of medicine, agriculture, biomedical engineering, forensic science, etc.

Analyze scientific and ethical arguments to support the pros and cons of applications of a specific biotechnology technique such as stem cell usage, in vitro fertilization, or genetically modified organisms.
EXPLANATION: The utilization of new technologies in any field of science is dependent on both economic and social factors. In addition to evaluating these factors, scientists must also consider long-term consequences that may not be initially apparent. The emphasis should be on the construction of a rationale argument that supports a position on the use of an application with ethical and social impact. Students should begin to appreciate the differences in ethical values that exist, and recognize that discussion of these values is imperative as knowledge and technology continue to advance, even when resolutions of differences can be rare. After investigation of a specific biotechnology application, students can write a position paper and/or participate in a classroom debate.
