CA 2330026

Devices useful in the delivery of DNA encoding neurotrophic agents, antifibrotic agents, and related compositions are disclosed herein for use in the treatment of central and/or peripheral nervous system injury. Methods of making and using the disclosed devices and DNA are also described. In various embodiments, the invention also discloses compositions and devices that may further include a targeting agent, such as a polypeptide that is reactive with an FGF receptor (e.g., bFGF), or another ligand that binds to cell surface receptors on neuronal cells, or a support cell. The invention also discloses methods of promoting neuronal survival and regeneration via transfection of an axon as it grows through a device or composition of the present invention, or via transfection of a repair cell.

La présente invention concerne des dispositifs convenant à la mise en place d'agents neurotrophiques codant l'ADN, des agents antifibrotiques, et des compositions s'y rapportant. Ces agents et compositions sont destinées au traitement des lésions affectant le système nerveux central et/ou périphérique. L'invention concerne également des procédés permettant de fabriquer et d'utiliser les dispositifs et l'ADN de l'invention. Sous différentes réalisations, l'invention concerne aussi des compositions et dispositifs pouvant comporter en complément un agent de ciblage tel qu'un polypeptide réagissant avec un récepteur FGF tel qu'un bFGF, ou avec un autre ligand se liant aux récepteurs de la surface de la cellule sur les cellules neurales, ou avec une cellule support. L'invention concerne enfin un procédé permettant de favoriser la survie des neurones ainsi que leur régénération via la transfection d'un axone pendant sa croissance dans le dispositif ou dans la composition de l'invention, ou via la transfection d'une cellule réparatrice.
