Studies on scaffold design for tissue engineering applications

The aim of tissue engineering is to regenerate tissue for the purpose of repairing or replacing diseased or injured tissue. Therefore, cells that are able to proliferate are seeded on scaffolds that provide mechanical stability and direct the three-dimensi ...

Response of aged parkinsonian monkeys to in vivo gene transfer of GDNF

Patrick Aebischer, Romain Zufferey

This study assessed the potential for functional and anatomical recovery of the diseased aged primate nigrostriatal system, in response to trophic factor gene transfer. Aged rhesus monkeys received a single intracarotid infusion of MPTP, followed one week ...

Implication of the JNK pathway in a rat model of Huntington's disease

Patrick Aebischer

Huntington's disease (HD) is a neurodegenerative disorder resulting from the expansion of a glutamine repeat (polyQ) in the N-terminus of the huntingtin (htt) protein. Expression of polyQ-containing proteins has been previously shown to induce various cell ...

Haloperidol protects striatal neurons from dysfunction induced by mutated huntingtin in vivo

Nicole Déglon

Huntington's disease (HD) results from an abnormal polyglutamine extension in the N-terminal region of the huntingtin protein. This mutation causes preferential degeneration of striatal projection neurons. We previously demonstrated, in vitro, that dopamin ...

Inhibition of HIV-1 multiplication by a modified U7 snRNA inducing Tat and Rev exon skipping

Didier Trono

The HIV-1 regulatory proteins Tat and Rev are encoded by multiply spliced mRNAs that differ by the use of alternative 3' splice sites at the beginning of the internal exon. If these internal exons are skipped, the expression of these genes, and hence HIV-1 ...

An oestrogen-dependent model of breast cancer created by transformation of normal human mammary epithelial cells

Cathrin Brisken, Stéphanie Joëlle André, Maryse Fiche

INTRODUCTION: About 70% of breast cancers express oestrogen receptor alpha (ESR1/ERalpha) and are oestrogen-dependent for growth. In contrast with the highly proliferative nature of ERalpha-positive tumour cells, ERalpha-positive cells in normal breast tis ...

The KRAB repressor domain can trigger de novo promoter methylation during mouse early embryogenesis

Didier Trono, Patrick Aebischer, Friedrich Beermann, Shuangqing Liao, Johan Jakobsson

The Krüppel-associated box (KRAB) domain is a transcriptional repression module responsible for the DNA binding-dependent gene silencing activity of hundreds of vertebrate zinc finger proteins. We previously exploited KRAB-mediated repression within the co ...

KRAB can repress lentivirus proviral transcription independently of integration site

Didier Trono, Isabelle Barde

The KRAB transcriptional repressor domain, commonly found in zinc finger proteins, acts by inducing the formation of heterochromatin. We previously exploited this property to achieve drug-regulated transgenesis and knock down by combining doxycycline-contr ...

Lentivirus-mediated expression of glutathione peroxidase: neuroprotection in murine models of Parkinson's disease

Patrick Aebischer, Jean-Charles Bensadoun

Reactive oxygen species are considered to contribute to the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). In order to study viral vector-mediated overexpression of the antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase (GPX) as a potential neuroprotective approach in b ...

A versatile tool for conditional gene expression and knockdown

Didier Trono, Patrick Aebischer, Marc-Olivier Sauvain

Drug-inducible systems allowing the control of gene expression in mammalian cells are invaluable tools for genetic research, and could also fulfill essential roles in gene- and cell-based therapy. Currently available systems, however, often have limited in ...
