Pleiotrophin gene therapy for peripheral ischemia: evaluation of full-length and truncated gene variants.

Pleiotrophin gene therapy for peripheral ischemia: evaluation of full-length and truncated gene variants.

Pleiotrophin (PTN) is a growth factor with both pro-angiogenic and limited pro-tumorigenic activity. We evaluated the potential for PTN to be used for safe angiogenic gene therapy using the full length gene and a truncated gene variant lacking the domain implicated in tumorigenesis. Mouse myoblasts...
