Gene therapy is a new technology that combines modern medicine and molecular biology by introducing the target gene into the patient and achieving the target gene product. Gene therapy as a new approach to disease treatment has already had some successful applications, and scientific breakthroughs will continue to push gene therapy into mainstream medicine.
Gene therapy can work through a variety of mechanisms:
A variety of vectors have been developed to carry the target genes into the body, these vectors can be injected directly or intravenously into specific tissues in the body, where it is taken up by individual cells. Alternatively, samples of patient cells can be taken in a laboratory setting and exposed to the carrier. Cells containing the vector are then returned to the patient. If the treatment is successful, the new gene delivered by the carrier will produce a functional protein, or the edited molecule will correct the DNA error and restore protein function.
Circular DNA molecules can be genetically engineered to carry therapeutic genes into human cells.
Viruses have the natural ability to deliver genetic material to cells, so some gene therapy products are derived from viruses (Retroviruses, adenoviruses, adeno-associated viruses, etc). Once a virus has been modified to eliminate its ability to cause infectious disease, these modified viruses can be used as vehicles to carry therapeutic genes into human cells.
Bacteria can be modified to prevent them from causing infectious diseases and then used as vehicles to carry therapeutic genes into human tissues.
