Treatment Of Diabetes With Synthetic Beta Cells

View page
US Patent:
6933133, Aug 23, 2005
Filed:
Nov 12, 2001
Appl. No.:
10/013032
Inventors:
Tausif Alam - Madison WI, US
Debra A. Hullett - Madison WI, US
Hans W. Sollinger - Madison WI, US
Assignee:
Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation - Madison WI
International Classification:
C12P021/04
C12P021/06
C12N015/74
C12N015/87
C12N005/00
C12N048/00
US Classification:
435 691, 435 696, 4353201, 435325, 435455, 514 44, 424 932, 424 9321
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for obtaining glucose-regulated expression of active insulin in the cells of a mammalian subject. The method involves delivering into the subject a genetic construct comprising a coding sequence for a human proinsulin operably connected a promoter functional in the host cells. The construct includes a glucose responsive regulatory module having at least one glucose inducible regulatory element comprising a pair of CACGTG motifs linked by a five base nucleotide sequence, which confers glucose inducible expression of the proinsulin coding sequence. To ensure proper processing of the proinsulin to active insulin, the coding sequence was modified to direct the synthesis of a mutant proinsulin polypeptide having amino acid sequences that can be cleaved to mature insulin in suitable host cells, such as hepatocytes.

Filed:
Jun 6, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/490081
Inventors:
Tausif Alam - Madison WI, US
Hans Sollinger - Madison WI, US
Assignee:
Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation - Madison WI
International Classification:
A61K 31/7088
A61P 3/10

US Classification:
424 9321, 435455, 435456, 4353201, 514 44 R
Abstract:
A method and vectors for controlling blood glucose levels in a mammal are disclosed. In one embodiment, the method comprises the steps of: treating the hepatocyte cells of a patient with a first, second or third vector, wherein the first vector comprises a promoter enhancer, glucose inducible regulatory elements, a liver-specific promoter, a gene encoding human insulin with modified peptidase and an albumin 3′UTR and lacks an HGH intron, wherein the second vector comprises an HGH intron, glucose inducible regulatory elements, a liver-specific promoter, a gene encoding human insulin with modified peptidase site and an albumin 3′UTR and lacks a promoter enhancer, wherein the third vector comprises an HGH intron, glucose inducible regulatory elements, a liver-specific promoter, a gene encoding human insulin with modified peptidase site, an albumin 3′UTR and a promoter enhancer and observing the patient's insulin levels, wherein the patient's insulin levels are controlled.

US Patent:
20230074581, Mar 9, 2023
Filed:
Nov 15, 2022
Appl. No.:
17/987578
Inventors:
- Madison WI, US
Erik Aiken - Madison WI, US
John Booske - McFarland WI, US
Hans Sollinger - Madison WI, US
Paul Laeseke - Madison WI, US
Tausif Alam - Madison WI, US
International Classification:
A61N 1/32
A61M 25/10
A61K 48/00
Abstract:
A “localizable” systemic gene therapy system is provided substantially increasing the transfection efficiency of the gene vectors into targeted tissue cells and substantially reducing the escape of the gene vectors from the targeted tissue volume, such as would waste the vectors, promote undesired immune reactions, and/or incur prohibitive costs for the required dose of gene-containing virus vectors. In this regard, the invention provides a means to simultaneously achieve local electroporation and gene-containing vector injection in a portion of a vascularized organ. It includes two double-balloon catheters that create contained volumes in parallel blood vessels for the introduction of vectors with reduced loss along with electrodes providing electroporation of the cells in the same location where the vectors are injected.
