KODE GENETIK
• Perkembangan dan aplikasi nyata metode DNA
rekombinan pd organisme prokariotik dan eukariotik
didorong oleh berbagai penemuan biokimiawi,
terutama penemuan enzim endonuklease restriksi yg
mula2 berhasil diisolasi dari golongan prokariotik
• Enzim ini memecah untai ganda DNA secara spesifik
pada daerah DNA dengan deret tertentu
• Penemuan lain adalah penemuan enzim transkriptase
kebalikan (reverse transkriptase) yaitu enzim yg
mengkatalisis reaksi biosintesis DNA dari RNA
sehingga dapat dibuat molekul DNA komplemneter
(cDNA) dari molekul mRNA yg telah dimurnikan
terlebih dahulu
Teknik umum DNA rekombinan
1. Kloning
• Teknik inti dlm DNA rekombinan adalah kloning molekler yaitu
isolasi dan pengembangbiakan fragmen DNA sejenis
• Kloning terdiri 2 tahap yaitu
1. DNA yg diinginkan atau DNA yg dimasukan, digabungkan dgn
molekul DNA yg disebut vektor kloning utk membentuk DNA
rekombinan atau klon
2. Molekul DNA rekombinan dimasukan ke dlm sel melalui proses
transformasi. Sel inang yg menangkap molekul DNA disebut
transforman atau sel yg ditransformasi.
• Suatu transforman mengalami banyak siklus
pembelahan sel utk mendapatkan koloni sel yg
berasal dari sel inag pemula (asli)
• Pd setiap siklus pembelahan, DNA
rekombinan di dalam sel juga ikut membelah.
• Pada saat koloni sudah terbentuk sempurna,
molekul DNA rekombian tunggal telah
membelah secara sempurna bahkan sampai
beberapa kali.

• address individual concerns relating to development /
transmission of hereditary disorder
• consultand = individual who seeks genetic counseling
• strong communicative and supportive element so that
those who seek information are able to reach their own
fully informed decisions without undue pressure or stress
What Information should be provided?

B C A a beneficial gene
A
virus modified virus
• A virus is found which replicates by inserting its genes into the host cell's genome. This virus has three
genes - A, B and C.
• Gene A encodes a protein which allows this virus to insert itself into the host's genome.
• Genes B and C actually cause the disease this virus is associated with.
• Replace B and C with a beneficial gene. Thus, the modified virus could introduce your 'good gene' into the
host cell's genome without causing any disease.
• So we use the modified virus to fix the “broken window”
• KERJA TERAPI GEN
Dalam terapi gen ini kita memerlukan satu
molekul yang berfungsi sebagai karier disebut
sebagai vektor . Vektor inilah yang membawa gen
/DNA yang normal ke sel target pasien , dan
yang biasa dipakai sebagai vektor adalah virus
yang telah diubah secara genetik.
BEBERAPA JENIS VIRUS YANG
DIGUNAKAN UNTUK TERAPI GEN
• 1. Retro virus
Golongan virus yang dapat membuat rantai ganda DNA
dari genomnya dan disatukan dengan kromosom sel
inangnya mis: HIV (human defisiensi virus)
• 2. Adeno virus
Golongan virus dengan rantai DNA gandanya dapat
menyebabkan infeksi pada saluran pernapasan, saluran
pencenaan dan menimbulkan kematian
mis: virus influenza
• 3.Adeno-assosiated virus.
Virusnya kecil mempunyai single strandid DNA
dan dapat memasukan material genetik di tempat
spesifik pada kromosom 19.
• 4. Herpes simpleks
Golongan virus dengan rantai ganda DNA yang
menginfeksi sebagian dari sel seperti sel neuron
Kendala terapi gen
• 1. Terapi gen akan efektif bila gangguan terjadi pada gen
tunggal
• 2. Virus yang berfungsi sebagai vektor , dalam tubuh
manusia bisa berubah sifatnya sehingga menimbulkan
penyakit
• 3. Masih banyak terapi gen yang keberhasilannya pendek
sehingga perlu diulang
• 4. Sistem imun tubuh akan mengurangi efek terapi gen .
Begitu pula terapi gen yang berulang akan menyebabkan
sistem imun tubuh akan meningkat daya tolaknya
Gene therapy using an Adenovirus vector.
A new gene is inserted into an adenovirus vector, which is used to introduce the
modified DNA into a human cell. If the treatment is successful, the new gene will
make a functional protein.
Background
• In the 1980s, advances in molecular biology had already enabled human genes to
be sequenced and cloned. Scientists looking for a method of easily producing
proteins, such as the protein deficient in diabetics — insulin, investigated
introducing human genes to bacterial DNA. The modified bacteria then produce the
corresponding protein, which can be harvested and injected in people who cannot
produce it naturally.
• Scientists took the logical step of trying to introduce genes straight into human
cells, focusing on diseases caused by single-gene defects, such as cystic fibrosis,
hemophilia, muscular dystrophy and sickle cell anemia, optic nerve disease 1,
wound repair and regeneration2, and cardiovascular disease3.
• However, this has been much harder than modifying simple bacteria, primarily
because of the problems involved in carrying large sections of DNA and delivering
it to the right site on the genome.
Cystic Fibrosis
• Background
• Cystic fibrosis was first described as a disease in the late 1930s by Dorothy Hansine
Andersen. In 1988, the first mutation for CF, ΔF508, was discovered by Francis
Collins, Lap-Chee Tsui and John R. Riordan on the 7th chromosome of the human
genome. Research has subsequently found over 1000 different mutations that may
cause CF, however ΔF508 accounts for approximately 70% of CF patients in
Europe (this percentage varies regionally).
• CF is an autosomal recessive disease and is the most common lethal genetic disease among
whites. There are 30,000 cases in the United States, 3,000 cases in Canada, and 27,000 cases
in Europe4.
Choices of Vectors
• Viral vectors:
• Vetrovirus Non-viral vectors:
• Adenovirus Liposome
• Adeno-associated virus DNA–polymer conjugates
• Herpes Simplex Virus Naked DNA
1995 liposome
• Trials using liposome-mediated CFTR gene transfer began in
1995.
• Non-viral vectors have the potential to avoid some of the critical
problems observed with viral vectors, such as the immune
response, limited packaging capacity, and random integration5 .
• Liposomes may be mildly effective, but their activity does not last.
For this approach to work, researchers need to figure out how to
improve delivery, make the effects more permanent and reduce the
adverse side effects.
• To date, only cationic liposome-based systems have been tested in
clinical trials in cystic fibrosis subjects6.
Cystic Fibrosis
Mode of delivery
• The majority of experience in terms of vector delivery to the lungs
has involved the instillation of large volumes of vector-containing
fluid into the lung via the nose.
• However,
I. this mode of delivery poses safety problems because of the
potential for aspiration.
II. In addition, the instillation of large volumes of fluid leads to
enhanced alveolar exposure, as a result of bulk flow into the lung
parenchyma. This exposure is undesirable because it may induce
adverse reactions.
III. At the same time, it is likely that airway epithelial cells, rather
than alveolar epithelial cells, are the appropriate target for CFTR
gene transfer.
• Another mode of lung delivery for vector-containing fluid is by
oral inhalation of aerosolized vectors.
• However, aerosolization of a fluid is typically achieved by means
of a nebulizer, and most nebulizers have been designed to generate
small particles. This is because most nebulizers have been
developed to deliver drugs to treat patients with asthma, and in
asthma the target region of the lungs is often the peripheral
airways. Small particles enhance delivery to the peripheral airways
and the alveolar region of the lung, but this is again undesirable for
gene vector delivery because of the possibility of inducing adverse
effects.
• One way to avoid alveolar deposition is to generate an aerosol
that is composed primarily of large droplets.
• Delivery of the vector by means of a spray device that is
inserted into a bronchoscope may have another advantage over
nebulization.
• Research suggests that spray delivery of the vector could
provide a means of targeting the larger, central airways ,
avoiding deposition in the smaller airways and alveolar region
, which is more likely with nebulizers that generate small
aerosol particles.
• The findings from studies using spray technology indicate that
efficient and targeted delivery of aerosolized gene vectors to
the lungs may be possible in the future.
Cystic Fibrosis
Current treatment
• Modern treatment now includes
① the intake of digestion enzymes,
nutritional supplements,
② percussion and postural drainage of
the lungs, improved antibiotics
③ inhalation of aerosols containing
medication.
• The most visible gene therapy drug A typical breathing treatment for
Cystic Fibrosis, using a nebulizer
under development is inhaled and the ThAIRapy Vest

challenges
• The goal of developing an effective genetic therapy for CF lung disease has led
to the attainment of several milestones in the larger field of gene therapy. These
include:
• the first published in vivo gene transfers with adenovirus (Ad)7, and with
recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV), and
• the first phase I clinical trials using each of these vector systems.8
• Choice of vector, mode of delivery to the airways, translocation of genetic
information, and expression of normalized CFTR in sufficient amounts to
correct the CF phenotype in the lungs of CF patients continue to be hurdles in
the development of gene therapy for CF9.
• A few attempts at gene therapy were initially successful, but failed to produce
acceptable long-term results.
