Gene therapy shows promise for treating corneal diseases using various vectors. Research reviews successes and challenges in delivering genes to the cornea for therapeutic applications.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Gene Therapy
  • Biotechnology

Background:

  • Gene therapy has advanced significantly, with over 300 clinical trials for various diseases.
  • Gene transfer technology is also used for developing vaccines against infectious diseases.
  • The cornea's accessibility and immune privilege make it a prime target for gene therapy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the successes and obstacles of gene therapy for corneal applications.
  • To evaluate gene delivery methods in corneal cells.
  • To explore gene-based interventions for specific corneal disorders.

Main Methods:

  • Review of viral vectors (adeno, AAV, retro, lenti, herpes simplex) and non-viral methods for corneal gene transfer.
  • Analysis of studies using marker genes to assess transgene expression in corneal cells.

  • Examination of research on gene-based interventions for corneal diseases in animal models.

    • Main Results:

    • Extensive research has explored various vectors for introducing DNA into corneal cells.
    • Marker genes have been used to track transgene expression levels and duration.
    • Limited studies have evaluated gene therapy for specific corneal conditions like allograft rejection and keratitis.

    Conclusions:

    • Gene therapy holds enormous potential for treating corneal diseases.
    • Various gene delivery methods have been investigated for corneal applications.
    • Further research is needed to overcome obstacles and advance gene-based interventions for corneal disorders.
