“…Limited amounts of adenovirus and subsequent transgene expression have been reported in the kidney after intravenous administration of virus (Gonin and Gaillard, 2004;Imai and Isaka, 2004;Ni et al, 2005). Expression of the ␤-galactosidase transgene and the adenovirus itself are also capable of inducing an immune response (Bessis et al, 2004).…”

“…Its role as a life-sustaining organ makes it a prime target for gene therapy of both renal and systemic disorders (Imai and Isaka, 2004;van der Wouden et al, 2004;Worgall, 2005). It also renders the kidney highly susceptible to adverse effects associated with this form of therapy, limiting progress of renal gene transfer in the clinic.…”

“…For clinical use, recombinant EPO is given to patients with anaemia because of renal insufficiency or suffering from chronic inflammatory diseases or HIV‐infection (6–8). As these patients need long‐term treatment with EPO – a cost‐ and labour‐intensive therapy implying regularly injections of a recombinant hormone with a short half‐life – systemic replacement of EPO by genetically modified cells constitutes an attractive alternative (9,10).…”

“…However, as these patients need long‐term treatment with EPO, it constitutes a cost and labour‐intensive therapy implying regularly injections of a recombinant hormone with a short half‐life. Thus, systemic replacement of EPO by genetically modified cells constitutes an attractive alternative (13,14). A further advantage is, that production of EPO could be controlled by linking the transferred EPO gene to an inducible promoter activated either by a topically applied drug (15) or even naturally by decreased oxygen pressure stimulating a hypoxia‐response element (16,17).…”
