For gene transfer strategies to improve islet engraftment, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression should be regulated in a way that matches the transient nature of revascularization with simultaneously avoiding undesirable effects of overexpression. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of hypoxia‐inducible VEGF gene transfer using the RTP801 promoter on islet grafts....
Purpose. Gene therapy using vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a new potential treatment of ischemic disease. To be safe and effective, VEGF expression should be enhanced locally in ischemic tissue. In this study, we identified the cis-regulatory element for the hypoxia induction of the RTP801 promoter. In addition, pRTP801-VEGF was evaluated as a therapeutic plasmid in vitro. Methods....
