Abstract excerpt
A mechanism for safely regulating transgene expression will be necessary for gene therapy approaches to endocrine disorders. In this study, a two-plasmid tetracycline-inducible system was used to regulate expression of human proinsulin (hppI1) and a mutated proinsulin construct (hppI4, allowing cleavage by furin) in primary rat soleus myoblasts. In hppI1 and hppI4 transient transfections, the presence of 0.01 and...
