In gene therapy nucleic acids are used for therapy. There are three different concepts in gene therapy for chronic wounds. (1) Synthesis of human recombinant growth factors by gene therapy techniques, (2) Ex-vivo transfection of cell cultures (fibroblasts, keratinocytes) with growth factor DNA and subsequent transplantation of transfected cells on chronic wounds. (3) In-vivo transfection with growth factor DNA, e.g., gene gun, liposomes, viral vector. Clinical studies on gene therapy for diabetic foot ulcers are only available for the local application of human recombinant PDGF-BB growth factor. Meta-analysis shows there is a low but significant effect of PDGF-BB on neuropathic diabetic ulcers, leading to an increase of healing by 10-15% within 20 weeks of treatment.
