Title: Cell and gene based methods to improve cardiac function
Inventor: REGNIER MICHAEL
IPC: C12N15/864
Filed: 2012-05-29
Abstract: Compositions and methods for improving cardiac function, myocardial contractility and relaxation in a mammal are provided. Cardiomyocytes transfected with one or more expression vectors comprising a ribonucleotide reductase subunit Rl -encoding nucleic acid sequence and a ribonucleotide reductase subunit R2-encoding nucleic acid sequence operably linked to a promoter are grafted to a mammalian myocardium. Alternatively, viral vector(s) having the Rl and R2-encoding construct(s) are administered to the mammal directly. Overexpression of Rl and R2 subunits leads to formation of the RR complex, which in turn generates dATP. Improvement of cardiac function can also be effected by administration of vectors comprising a nucleic acid sequence encoding a L48Q-substituted, I61Q-substituted, or L57Q-substituted cTnC variant. Also provided are compositions and methods for delivering dATP to a myocardium through grafting of donor cells overexpressing Rl and R2. dATP is thereby produced in situ and delivered through gap junctions established between donor cells and host cardiomyocytes.

Filed: 2014-07-25
Abstract: A system and method for forming a cavern in a formation beyond a cased wellbore utilizes a locator to position a perforating gun in the wellbore for forming axially aligned, spaced-apart perforations through the casing. The locator has a stationary portion, run in and anchored in the wellbore below a zone of interest. The perforating guns have a moveable portion of the locator at a downhole end and are run in and coupled with the stationary portion. Where two or more guns are used to form the perforations, the guns are indexed relative to one another for forming the offset perforations. The guns are tripped from the wellbore and a wash tool having a moveable portion of the locator at a downhole end is run in and coupled in the wellbore. The locator acts to delimit a reciprocation of the wash tool along the space-apart perforations for delivering a non-abrasive fluid therethrough for forming the cavern.
