Chapter 11
  • Medical Biotechnology

2
Detecting and Diagnosing Human Disease Conditions
  • Models of Human Disease
  • Identify diseases and test therapies before
    clinical trials in humans
  • Clinical trials three phases
  • Phase I safety studies- safe dose and how to
    administer the dose (ADME)
  • Phase II few hundred patients for the purpose of
    testing effectiveness
  • Phase III effectiveness compared to other drugs
    involve thousands of patients often with
    different backgrounds and stages of illness
    throughout the country

  • FDA Oversight of Drug Development Process
  • Clinical Trials

Detecting and Diagnosing Human Disease Conditions
  • Lab to Market Failure
  • Limited biomarkers to optimize treatment
  • Inadequate experimental approaches for patient
    selection
  • Limitations in animal models

Detecting and Diagnosing Human Disease Conditions
  • Models of Human Disease
  • Rat gene, ob, also found in humans therefore
    homologous
  • Codes for a protein hormone called leptin if
    missing leads to obesity
  • Found that treating obese children defected in
    this gene with leptin decreases their weight

6
Detecting and Diagnosing Human Disease Conditions
  • Models of Human Disease
  • Organism has 959 cells, 131 of them are destined
    to go through apoptosis
  • Study programmed cell death in this organism
  • Programmed cell death important to correct
    development of the fetus and improper cell death
    is implicated in Alzheimers, Lou Gehrigs,
    Huntingtons, Parkinsons

7
Detecting and Diagnosing Human Disease Conditions
  • Models of Human Disease
  • Heart attack mice
  • Defect in genes for cholesterol uptake
  • HIV small animal model

  • Detecting Genetic Diseases

9
Detecting and Diagnosing Human Disease Conditions
  • Molecular Diagnostics
  • The use of DNA, RNA, and proteins to facilitate
    disease detection, diagnosis, subclassification,
    prognosis, and monitoring response to therapy

10
Detecting and Diagnosing Human Disease Conditions
  • Advantages of Molecular Diagnostics
  • Improvement in sensitivity
  • High specificity
  • Cost less
  • Faster analysis time

11
Detecting and Diagnosing Human Disease Conditions
  • Detecting Genetic Diseases
  • Fetal testing for chromosome abnormalities and
    defective genes
  • Amniocentesis (Test at 16 weeks - karyotype)
  • Chorionic villus sampling (Test at 8 to 10 weeks
    - karyotype)

12
Detecting and Diagnosing Human Disease Conditions
  • Detecting Genetic Diseases
  • Testing for chromosome abnormalities and
    defective genes
  • Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH)
  • Fluorescence probes that are specific for
    chromosomes and/or genes
  • Spectral karotype

13
Detecting and Diagnosing Human Disease Conditions
  • Detecting Genetic Diseases
  • Testing for chromosome abnormalities and
    defective genes
  • RFLP (restriction fragment length polymorphisms)

14
Detecting and Diagnosing Human Disease Conditions
  • Hybridization - single-stranded oligonucleotides
    are permitted to interact so that complexes, or
    hybrids, are formed by molecules with
    sufficiently similar, complementary sequences
  • Target - the nucleotide sequence the
    oligonucleotide is designed to hybridize with
  • Probe - the nucleic acid that carries a marker
    for detection

Making SNPs Make Sense
15
Detecting and Diagnosing Human Disease Conditions
  • Dot Blots
  • Assay for detecting SNPs
  • Uses PCR amplified DNA blotted onto a membrane
  • Unbound ASO probe is washed off
  • Bound ASO probe is detected by radioactive or
    colorimetric assays

Detecting and Diagnosing Human Disease Conditions
  • Allele-Specific Oligonucleotide (ASO) Dot Blot to
    detect Sickle Cell Anemia

17
Detecting and Diagnosing Human Disease Conditions
  • Reverse Dot Bot
  • Instead of binding DNA to the membrane, an array
    of ASOs are bound to a membrane and hybridized to
    labeled target DNA

18
Detecting and Diagnosing Human Disease Conditions
  • Detecting Genetic Diseases
  • Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs)
  • One of the most common forms of genetic variation
  • Estimated that one SNP occurs approximately every
    1,000-3,000 bp in the human genome
  • 99.9 percent of the DNA sequence will be exactly
    the same gt 80 of 0.1 percent variation will be
    SNPs
  • Most have no effect because they occur in
    non-protein coding regions (introns)
  • 10 pharmaceuticals donated millions in a
    collaborative partnership called the SNP
    Consortium

19
Detecting and Diagnosing Human Disease Conditions
  • Microarray
  • A chip containing thousands of pieces of single
    stranded DNA molecules
  • DNA is isolated from a patient, fluorescently
    labeled, and hybridized to the microarray
  • A laser scanner measures the intensity of the
    fluorescence to indicate the binding of the
    patients DNA to the SNP or gene on the microarray

20
Detecting and Diagnosing Human Disease Conditions
  • Detecting Genetic Diseases
  • Identifying sets of disease genes by microarray
    analysis
  • Microarray created with known diseased genes or
    SNPs
  • DNA from a patient is tagged with fluorescent
    dyes and then hybridized to the chip
  • Binding of a patients DNA to a gene sequence on
    the chip indicates that the persons DNA has a
    particular mutation or SNP

Gene Therapy
  • 1990 4 year old Ashanti DaSilva had a genetic
    disorder called severe combined immunodeficiency
    (SCID)
  • Defect in ADA gene results in an accumulation of
    dATP, which is toxic to certain types of T cells
  • Takes down the entire immune system

36
Gene Therapy
  • Case Study Cystic Fibrosis
  • Defective cystic fibrosis transmembrane
    conductance regulator (CFTR)
  • Normally it serves as a pump at the cell membrane
    to move electrically charged chloride atoms out
    of the cells
  • If cells cant move chloride out, they absorb
    water trying to dilute the chloride in the cell
  • This leads to the production of THICK sticky
    mucus

    from leg used in coronary bypass-organ
    transplants are between individuals and so must
    be checked for compatibility
  • Histocompatibility complex - gt70 genes which
    produce tissue typing proteins (must match!)
  • There are many different types of MHC proteins
    (one group is called human leukocyte antigens or
    HLAs)- have been using immunosuppressive drugs
    but there are problems.

46

    (pig to human)
  • University of Missouri scientists have produced
    cloned, knockout pigs that lack a gene called
    GGTA1 (or 1,3 galactosyltransferase)
  • The gene normally codes for a sugar that would be
    recognized as foreign by humans
