RESUMEN
Chikungunya fever (CHIKF) is an arthropod-borne infection disease caused by Chikungunya virus (CHIKV), which represents a serious health problem worldwide. There is no antiviral drugs treatment for CHIKV infections, neither is there an effective vaccine for prevention of the disease. Herein, we reviewed the recent reported and classical inhibitors of CHIKV, and summarized the medicinal chemistry strategies for discovering CHIKV inhibitors.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the transfection and expression of p53 genes mediated by liposome and its feasibility in treatment of liver cancer by transcatheter arterial injection on rabbit VX2 hepatocarcinoma model.Methods pCMV-myc-p53 plasmids,LipofectAMINE and p53-LipofectAMINE complex were infused into tumor's feeding artery of rabbit VX2 hepatocarcinoma model,respectively,and then protein of cancer tissue was extracted,followed by measuring gene transfection and expression by western blot and immunohistochemistry,p53-LipofectAMINE complex in different doses were infused into tumor's feeding artery of rabbit VX2 hepatocarcinoma model with the gene transfection and expression detected by the same way.Results Liposome-mediated p53 gene injected through catheter could be successfully transfected and expressed in the cancer tissue of rabbit VX2 hepatocarcinoma model,with transfection efficiency higher than the gene delivery alone.The efficiency and the gene dose has dose-effect relationship.Condusions Treatment of liver cancer by transcatheter arterial injection of p53 genes mediated by liposome is a feasible and effective method,with wide prospect of application.(J Intervent Radiol,2007,16:109-114)
