Abstract

Myoblasts gene-engineered in vitro and then injected in vivo are safe, efficient options for gene therapy. While isolation of satellite cells is routinely achieved, their proliferation potential in vitro remains a limiting factor for cell transplantation under clinical conditions. We have studied the role of reversible inhibition of gene expression by antisense oligonucleotides on the proliferation of the myogenic cells. Addition of antisense oligonucleotides to myoblast cultures has been used to inhibit specifically the expression of the beta 1-integrin subunit gene. Here we show that the effects of multiple pulses of a phosphorothioate oligodeoxinucleotide antisense on the attachment to substrata and on the proliferation of myoblasts are dose-dependent. The addition of antisense to rat myoblasts caused rounding up of the cells and most of the cells became detached after several days in culture. A single pulse did not show any consistent effect, while in the presence of continuously administered antisense, the relative numbers of myoblasts in the treated muscle culture increased. We have no evidence of inhibition of myoblast fusion under these conditions. On the other hand, [3H]-TdR incorporation, total DNA and total number of...Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
