Ultrasound-mediated gene delivery of factor VIII plasmids for hemophilia A gene therapy in mice.
Article in Molecular therapy. Nucleic acids, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Gene therapy offers great promises for a cure of hemophilia A resulting from factor VIII (FVIII) gene deficiency. We have developed and optimized a non-viral ultrasound-mediated gene delivery (UMGD) strategy. UMGD of reporter plasmids targeting mice livers achieved high levels of transgene expression predominantly in hepatocytes. Following UMGD of a plasmid encoding human FVIII driven by a hepatocyte-specific promoter/enhancer (pHP-hF8/N6) into the livers of hemophilia A mice, a partial phenotypic correction was achieved in treated mice. In order to achieve persistent and therapeutic FVIII gene expression, we adopted a plasmid (pHP-hF8-X10) encoding an FVIII variant with significantly increased FVIII secretion. By employing an optimized pulse-train ultrasound condition and immunomodulation, the treated hemophilia A mice achieved 25%-150% of FVIII gene expression on days 1-7 with very mild transient liver damage, as indicated by a small increase of transaminase levels that returned to normal within 3 days. Therapeutic levels of FVIII can be maintained persistently without the generation of inhibitors in mice. These results indicate that UMGD can significantly enhance the efficiency of plasmid DNA transfer into the liver. They also demonstrate the potential of this novel technology to safely and effectively treat hemophilia A.
