Abstract

Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) is able to protect dopaminergic neurons against various insults and constitutes therefore a promising candidate for the treatment of Parkinson's disease. Lentiviral vectors that infect quiescent neuronal cells may allow the localized delivery of GDNF, thus avoiding potential side effects related to the activation of other brain structures. To test this hypothesis in a setting ensuring both maximal biosafety and optimal transgene expression, a self-inactivating (SIN) lentiviral vector was modified by insertion of the posttranscriptional regulatory element of the woodchuck hepatitis virus, and particles were produced with a multiply attenuated packaging system. After a single injection of 2 microl of a lacZ-expressing vector (SIN-W-LacZ) in the substantia nigra of adult rats, an average of 40.1 +/- 6.0% of the tyrosine hydroxylase (TH)-positive neurons were transduced as compared with 5.0 +/- 2.1% with the first-generation lentiviral vector. Moreover, the SIN-W vector expressing GDNF under the control of the mouse phosphoglycerate kinase 1 (PGK) promoter was able to protect nigral dopaminergic neurons after medial forebrain bundle axotomy. Expression of hGDNF in the nanogram range was detected in extracts of mesencephalon of animals injected with an SIN-W-PGK-GDNF vector, whereas it was undetectable in animals injected with a control vector. Lentiviral vectors with enhanced expression and safety features further establish the potential use of these vectors for the local delivery of bioactive molecules into defined structures of the central nervous system.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
