Enhanced transgene expression from single-stranded AAV vectors in human cells in vitro and in murine hepatocytes in vivo

Abstract excerpt

We identified that distal 10 nucleotides in the D-sequence in AAV2 inverted terminal repeat (ITR) share partial sequence homology to 1/2 binding site of glucocorticoid receptor-binding element (GRE). Here, we describe that (1) purified GR binds to AAV2 D-sequence, and the D-sequence competes with GR binding to its cognate binding site; (2) dexamethasone-mediated activation of GR pathway significantly increases...
