Abstract
The present disclosure relates, in part, to pharmaceutical compositions comprising one or more polynucleotides suitable for enhancing, increasing, augmenting, and/or supplementing the levels of Collagen alpha-1 (VII) chain polypeptide and/or Lysyl hydroxylase 3 polypeptide and/or Keratin type I cytoskeletal 17 polypeptide in a subject. The present disclosure also relates, in part, to pharmaceutical compositions and methods of use for providing prophylactic, palliative, or therapeutic relief of a wound, disorder, or disease of the skin in a subject, including a subject having, or at risk of developing, one or more symptoms of epidermolysis bullosa.
Claims30
A pharmaceutical composition comprising:
- a) a virus comprising a vector, wherein the vector comprises one or more transgenes encoding a polypeptide selected from the group consisting of a Collagen alpha-1 (VII) chain polypeptide, a Lysyl hydroxylase 3 polypeptide, a Keratin type I cytoskeletal 17 polypeptide, and a chimeric polypeptide thereof;
- and
- b) a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
A method of providing prophylactic, palliative, or therapeutic relief of a wound, disorder, or disease of the skin in a subject, the method comprising administering to the subject a pharmaceutical composition comprising a vector, wherein the vector is a recombinant herpes simplex virus genome, and wherein the pharmaceutical composition is capable of enhancing, increasing, augmenting, and/or supplementing the levels of a Collagen alpha-1 (VII) chain polypeptide and/or a Lysyl hydroxylase 3 polypeptide and/or a Keratin type I cytoskeletal 17 polypeptide in one or more cells of the subject.
