| titleOfInvention | Endothelium specific expression regulated by epcr control elements |
| abstract | The promoter of the EPCR gene has been isolated from both murine (SEQ. ID No. 1) and human (SEQ. ID No. 2) genomic libraries. The promoter has been demonstrated to include a region which results in selective expression in endothelial cells, between -1 and -220 based on the positions relative to the ATG encoding the first amino acid of the murine EPCR protein (nucleotides 3130 to 3350 of SEQ. ID No. 1), and a region which selectively results in expresion in large vessel endothelial cells, as opposed to all endothelial cells, located between -700 and -1080 (nucleotides 2270 to 2840 of SEQ. ID No. 1). A thrombin responsive element has been identified in the EPCR promoter, from -337 to -345 in the murine promoter (nucleotides 3007 to 3014 SEQ. ID No. 1) and from -360 to -368 (nucleotides 2722 to 2729 SEQ. ID No. 2) in the human promoter. The sequence is CCCACCCC (SEQ. ID No. 3). A serum response element has also been identified between -280 and -350 (nucleotides 2990 to 3061 of SEQ. ID No. 1). The regulatory sequences present in the EPCR promoter can be used in combination with genes encoding other proteins, as well as shorter oligonucleotides, to increase expression by exposure to thrombin or serum or to effect selective expression in endothelial cells generally or preferentially in endothelial cells of the large blood vessels. The gene control elements include elements responsive to environmental stiumuli (either thrombin or serum); and information to determine distribution of the desired protein expression (large vessels). Therapeutic strategies include the use of the minimal promoter (-220 to -1) for expression in all endothelial cells, for example, for any kind of gene therapy where systemic distribution is desired; the use of a promoter including an environmental stimuli response element(s), for use in delivery of agents whose expression should be increased during times of increased thrombin/platelet activation or during regional trauma; the use of the minimal promoter including an environmental stimuli response element and the element directing expression to large vessel endothelium, where a response to regional trauma is desirable but only in large vessel endothelium, and the use of the minimal promoter and element directing expression to large vessel endothelium, where expresion is specifically targeted to large vessel endothelium but is not increased in response to any particular stimuli. |
