Patent

CA 2376735

The invention concerns the field of gene therapy and the treatment of tumours. More particularly, the invention concerns the insertion of a gene coding for the iodine specific carrier (Na?+¿/I?-¿ symporter) (NIS) in tumour cells using an adenoviral vector to promote the accumulation of iodine in said cells. The invention also concerns the defective recombinant adenoviruses for replication comprising the nis gene and the use of said vectors in a method for treating cancers combining nis gene transfer into tumour cells and metabolic radiotherapy.

La présente invention concerne le domaine de la thérapie génique et le traitement des tumeurs. L'invention concerne plus particulièrement l'introduction d'un gène codant pour le transporteur spécifique de l'iode (Na+/I- Symporteur) NIS dans des cellules tumorales au moyen d'un vecteur adénoviral pour favoriser l'accumulation d'iode dans ces cellules. L'invention concerne également les adénovirus recombinants défectifs pour la réplication comprenant le gène nis et l'utilisation de ces vecteurs dans une méthode de traitement des cancers associant le transfert du gènenis dans des cellules tumorales et la radiothérapie métabolique.
