AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Current treatments for retinal and macular diseases, such as diabetic retinopathy and age-related macular degeneration, lack effective therapeutic options that can restore damaged retinal tissues and improve visual function.

Method used

A pharmaceutical composition comprising a polypeptide with at least 70% sequence identity to TAFA proteins, encoded by a nucleic acid, delivered via an adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector, to promote retinal repair and function.

Benefits of technology

The composition effectively restores damaged retinas to normal function, offering potential therapeutic benefits for retinal and macular diseases by promoting cellular repair and visual recovery.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating a retinal or macular disease, which comprises a polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence having at least 70% sequence identity with the amino acid sequence of a TAFA protein (for example, TAFA1 to TAFA4), a nucleic acid encoding the polypeptide, a vector containing the nucleic acid, a recombinant virus particle containing the vector and a capsid protein, or a cell containing the nucleic acid or the vector. The present invention also relates to an adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector containing a nucleic acid encoding a polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence having at least 70% sequence identity with the amino acid sequence of a TAFA protein, and a recombinant virus particle containing the AAV vector and a capsid protein. The AAV vector, recombinant virus or composition containing the same of the present invention can be usefully used for preventing or treating a retinal or macular disease by restoring the damaged retina.
