Lentiviral-mediated GATA-3 RNAi Decreases Allergic Airway Inflammation and Hyperresponsiveness
18 Sept 2007
Abstract excerpt
GATA-3 is the key transcriptional factor for Th2 commitment in T cells and is strongly associated with asthma and allergic disease. We studied the silencing of the GATA-3 gene expression using RNA interference (RNAi) delivered by a lentiviral vector, to evaluate the therapeutic role of GATA-3 short hairpin RNAs (shRNAs) in a murine model of asthma. Mice were sensitized with OVA and instilled intratracheally (IT)...
