让基因治疗不再撞大运

在基因治疗中,转移的基因可能插入到受者DNA的哪个位置现在能够被预测了,由于这个发现,基因治疗将会成为一门更加精确的科学。

在基因治疗中,有益基因最终到达何处还是一个迷。因此,需要将转移遗传物质的逆转录病毒感染受者的许多细胞,以增加基因到达正确位置的机会。但是这也增加肿瘤等副作用的风险。

为了更好地了解这个过程,瑞士日内瓦大学的Jeremy Luban和同事搜索了过去的基因治疗试验,试图寻找DNA中基因插入位点与特征之间的关系图。对于12种逆转录病毒的3种,研究者们发现了受者DNA中的一组蛋白质,这种蛋白质的存在对于插入位点的预测具有75%的成功率(PLoS Computational Biology, DOI: 10.1371/journal.pcbi.1001008)。

英国伦敦帝国学院的Peter Cherepanov不是研究团队的成员,他认为,由于可以估算不良插入的概率,因此平衡成功机会与副作用风险将会更加容易。
