Problems solved by technology

At present, neurotrophic drugs or traditional Chinese medicine are often used for treatment, but the curative effect is not good.
Because there is no effective treatment, once the disease occurs, only a few can get better, and most patients will eventually go blind.

Embodiment 1

[0187] Example 1 Preparation of recombinant adeno-associated virus

[0188] The present invention only takes the recombinant adeno-associated virus carrying the ND4 coding sequence as an example, but is not limited thereto.

[0189] Refer to the method in Example 1 of CN 102634527B to prepare recombinant adeno-associated virus rAAV2 / 2-ND4.

[0190] 1.1 Plasmid preparation: The fusion nucleic acid shown in SEQ ID NO.:6 was synthesized by Chengdu Qingke Zixi Biotechnology Co., Ltd. Amplify the full-length gene by PCR, form sticky ends on the fusion gene by EcoRI / SalI digestion, and embed the fusion gene into the adeno-associated virus vector pSNaV with EcoRI / SalI restriction site, namely pSNaV / rAAV2 / 2-ND4 (hereinafter abbreviated as pAAV2-ND4). The screening and identification steps of the recombinants are the same as those of CN102634527B, and the brief description is as follows: Take the LB plate cultured at 37°C, blue spots and white spots appear, and the white ones are rec...

Abstract

The invention relates to gene therapy of Leber genetics optic neuropathy. It is accidentally found in the invention that administration of Medrol before and after gene therapy of ocular diseases (i.e., administration of recombinant adeno-associated virus) not only can remarkably improve the treatment effect, but also can effectively prevent and/or treat complications of gene therapy, such as selective cataract removal, uveitis, anterior chamber inflammation and vitreitis, and causes small side effects.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of gene therapy, in particular to gene therapy for Leber hereditary optic neuropathy. Background technique [0002] Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) is a hereditary disease that mainly involves the fibers of the papillary macula, leading to degeneration of the optic nerve. It is a maternally inherited disease whose etiology and mechanism have not yet been elucidated. The year was named after the first German scholar Leber to describe its clinical features. LHON is relatively rare, clinically manifested as acute or subacute painless vision loss in both eyes at the same time or successively, accompanied by loss of central visual field and color vision disturbance. At present, neurotrophic drugs or traditional Chinese medicine are often used for treatment, but the curative effect is not good. Because there is no effective treatment, once the disease occurs, only a few can get better, and most patients will ev...
