Expression mediated by three partial sequences of the human tyrosine hydroxylase promoter in vivo
2016, Molecular Therapy Methods and Clinical DevelopmentCitation Excerpt :TagRFP-T DNA was amplified and cloned into an AAV backbone with the chicken β-actin promoter, and a woodchuck postregulatory element (WPRE) at the 3′ end (pBL). Three partial sequences of the hTHp were based on GenBank Acc# AY211521: 522bp (spanning from −491 to +31),4 a combination of 5′-flanking region (spanning from −509 to +1) and a 976 bp segment of 3′-flanking region DNA extending in the 3′ direction from the PolyA signal,6 and 3.3 kb (spanning from −3204 to +3)7 were produced by polymerase chain reaction amplification from human genomic DNA (Promega, Madison, WI) and subcloned in pGEM-T vector system (Promega). The following primers pairs were used: for the 522bp sequence, 5′-AGACACACGGCCTGGAATCT-3′ (forward), 5′-CCTGTGGCGTGGTGGCGTCGGGGGTGGGCATGGCTCAGTGTGGA-3′ (reverse); and for the 3.3 kb sequence,5′-GACCAGTGTCTTGGGAGTTG-3′ (forward), 5′-CATGGCTCAGTGTGGAGGTCCGG-3′ (reverse).
Epigenetic, transcriptional and posttranscriptional regulation of the tyrosine hydroxylase gene
2011, International Journal of Developmental NeuroscienceCitation Excerpt :Most of these elements are not conserved. Five subregions located in the region from −9 kb to −2 kb (Kessler et al., 2003) and elements present in the first 200 nucleotides upstream of the nucleotide +1 are an exception, and the latter preserve both the regulatory elements and their locations (Harrington et al., 1987; Coker et al., 1988; Kobayashi et al., 1988; Cambi et al., 1989; D’Mello et al., 1989; Iwata et al., 1992, Fig. 1). The existence of only a small sequence homology in the promoter region of the mouse, rat, and human TH genes indicates species specificity of some regulatory elements (Romano et al., 2005).
Gene therapy for dopamine replacement
2010, Progress in Brain ResearchCitation Excerpt :Truncation of parts of the N-terminal domain appear to mimic the full phosphorylation in regard to increasing TH enzyme activity and increasing the Ki of dopamine (Kuczenski, 1973; Musacchio et al., 1971; Vigny and Henry, 1981). The idea to restore striatal dopamine production by gene transfer of the dopamine synthetic enzymes goes back to the late 1980s, constituting a very productive new line of research where the TH gene was overexpressed in cultured cells (Coker et al., 1988; Horellou et al., 1989). In majority of the studies, the cell type of choice was cultured fibroblasts (Horellou et al., 1990a,b; Uchida et al., 1992; Wolff et al., 1989).
