Secondary lymphedema has been clinically well described, but a Cure is still lacking. Although there have been previous investigations using plasmid DNA for gene therapy, few have focused on the use for the treatment of lymphedema. Therefore, we investigated the effects of VEGF-C gene transfer for the treatment of lymphedema using our plasmid pcDNA3.1-VEGF-C. We produced a surgical model of secondary lymphedema in the rat hindlimb and treated with local intradermal VEGF-C transfection to investigate the efficacy of gene transfer.
