Abstract
AIDS is a disease caused by a chronic infection of HIV. Recently, long-term control of HIV infection has been demonstrated through the bone marrow transplantation of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC), in which the C-C chemokine receptor type 5 (CCR5) gene is mutated innately. However, it is very difficult to obtain CCR5 mutant HSC that match human leukocyte antigen between donor and recipient. To solve this problem, this review will summarize and discuss various reports related to the generation of patient-specific CCR5 geneedited HSC. The fusion of current gene editing (zinc-finger nuclease, transcription activator-like effector nuclease, and clustered regulatory interspaced short palindromic repeats) and cellular reprogramming technology (somatic cell nuclear transfer, induced pluripotent stem cells technology, and direct phenotypic conversion) enables the generation of patient-specific CCR5 edited HSC. These cells can be useful as valuable therapeutic agents for long-term control of HIV-infected patients in the future.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
