β-Globin Lentiviral Vectors Have Reduced Titers Due to Incomplete Vector RNA Genomes and Lowered Virion Production

ABSTRACT: Lentiviral vectors (LV) commonly used for the treatment of hemoglobinopathies often have low titers and sub-optimal gene transfer efficiency for human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPC), hindering clinical translation and commercialization for ex vivo gene therapy. We observed that a high percentage of β-globin LV viral genomic RNAs were incomplete towards the 3’ end in packaging cells and in released vector particles. The incomplete vector genomes impeded reverse transcription in target cells, limiting stable gene transfer to HSPC. By combining three modifications to vector design and production (shortening the vector length to 5.3-kb; expressing TAT protein during packaging; and packaging in PKR-/- cells) there was a 30-fold increase in vector titer and a 3-fold increase in vector infectivity in HSPC. These approaches may improve the manufacturing of β-globin and other complex LVs for enhanced gene delivery and may facilitate clinical applications.

Lentiviral Vectors Escape Innate Sensing but Trigger p53 In Human Hematopoietic Stem Cells

Project description:In the context of lentiviral vector (LV)-mediated gene correction of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPC), the viral origin of LV could trigger cellular responses with potential functional consequences that have not been investigated to date. Here, a time-course genome-wide transcriptional profiling of transduced human HSPC reveals a remarkably limited impact of LV on cellular gene expression, supporting some stealth features of the vector. In particular, LV efficiently escaped innate immune sensing that instead led to robust type I IFN signaling upon transduction with a gamma-retroviral vector. However, recognition of LV DNA prior to integration did trigger DNA damage responses that were activated also by non-integrating Adeno-associated vector DNA. As a consequence of this transient p53 activation, transduced HSPC showed increased apoptosis in vitro and reduced engraftment in vivo at limiting cell doses, but no long-term impact or competitive disadvantage were detected. Pharmacological inhibition of the LV signaling partially rescued both apoptosis and engraftment, potentially providing a novel strategy to further dampen the impact of ex vivo gene therapy on HSPC. Overall, our results shed light on the molecular mechanisms of viral vector sensing in HSPC and provide critical insight for the development of more stealth gene therapy strategies.

A TLR- and non-TLR-mediated innate response to lentiviruses restricts hepatocyte entry and can be ameliorated by pharmacological blockade

Project description:Lentiviral vector (LV)-mediated gene transfer is a promising method of gene therapy. We previously reported that systemic injection of LV triggers a transient inflammatory response. Here, we carried out studies to better characterize this response, and to develop a strategy to overcome the effects of interferon (IFN) on LV-mediated gene transfer. We profiled gene expression in the liver after LV administration using deep-sequencing, and identified several innate response pathways. We examined the response to LV in MyD88-TRIF knock-out mice, which are incapable of toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling. The IFN response to LV was not reduced in the liver, indicating that a non-TLR pathway can recognize LV in this tissue. Indeed, blocking reverse-transcription with AZT reduced the IFN response only in the liver, suggesting that proviral DNA can be a trigger. To block the inflammatory response, we pre-treated mice with a short-course of dexamethasone. At 4 hours post-treatment, all of the IFN-induced genes were normalized. By blocking the inflammatory response, hepatocyte transduction was dramatically increased, which doubled the level of human factor-IX produced by a hepatocyte-specific LV. Our studies uncover new insights into LV-induced immune responses in the liver, and provide a means to increase the safety and efficiency of LV-mediated gene transfer.

CAR gene delivery by T-cell targeted lentiviral vectors is enhanced by rapamycin induced reduction of antiviral mechanisms

Project description:Lentiviral vectors (LV) have become the dominant tool for stable gene transfer into lymphocytes including chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) gene delivery to T cells, a major breakthrough in cancer therapy. Yet, room for improvement remains, especially for the latest LV generations delivering genes selectively into T cell subtypes, a key requirement for in vivo CAR T cell generation. Towards improving gene transfer rates with these vectors, we conducted whole transcriptome analyses on human T lymphocytes after exposure to CAR-encoding conventional vector VSV-LV, and vectors targeted to CD8+ (CD8-LV) or CD4+ T cells (CD4-LV). Genes related to quiescence and antiviral restriction were found to be upregulated in CAR-negative cells exposed to all types of LVs. Down-modulation of various antiviral restriction factors including the interferon-induced transmembrane proteins (IFITMs) was achieved with rapamycin as verified by mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Strikingly, rapamycin enhanced transduction by up to 7-fold for CD8-LV and CD4-LV without compromising CAR T cell activities, but did not improve VSV-LV. When administered to humanized mice, CD8-LV resulted in higher rates of GFP gene delivery as well as faster in vivo CAR T cell generation and tumor control. The data favors multi-omics approaches for improvements in gene delivery.

Lentiviral transduction of CD34+ cells induces genome-wide epigenetic modifications

Project description:Human CD34+ cells were cultured shortly in the presence of cytokines then with a gene transfer lentiviral vector (LV) expected to transduce cells but to have otherwise limited biological effects on the cells. At the end of the culture, the population of cells remained largely similar at the phenotypic level but some epigenetic changes were evident. Exposure of CD34+ cells to cytokines caused genome-wide DNA methylation changes. Surprisingly, the LV caused additional and distinct effects. Large-scale genomic DNA methylation analysis showed that balanced methylation changes occurred in about 200 genes following culture of CD34+ cells in the presence of cytokines but 900 genes were modified following addition of the LV, predominantly increasing CpG methylation. Epigenetic effects resulting from ex vivo culture and from the use of LV may constitute previously unsuspected sources of biological effects in stem cells and may provide new biomarkers to rationally optimize gene and cell therapy protocols. 3 replicates of control unstimulated (Group 1), cytokine stimulated, cytokine strimulated and treated with polybren and cytokine stimulated and transduced with lentiviral vector coding for GFP in the presence of polybren were analysed

Profiling selective packaging of host RNA and viral RNA modification in the SARS-CoV-2 virion

Project description:Viruses package host RNAs in their virions which are associated with a range of functions in the viral life cycle. Previous transcriptomic profiling on host RNA packaging were mostly focused on retroviruses. Which host RNAs are packaged in other viruses at the transcriptome level has not been thoroughly examined. Here we apply both small RNA and large RNA sequencing of SARS-CoV-2 virions from six individual isolates in Vero cell cultures to profile packaging of host RNAs in a coronavirus and to explore SARS-CoV-2 genomic RNA modifications. We find selective packaging of specific tRNAs, tRNA fragments and signal recognition particle RNA into SARS-CoV-2 virions. Virions from all individual clones package the same set of host RNAs, suggesting a common mechanism of selective packaging. We estimate that a SARS-CoV-2 virion contains up to 1 SRP RNA and 4 tRNA molecules. We identify tRNA modification differences between the virion-packaged tRNAs and those in the uninfected host cells. Furthermore, we find subgenomic viral RNAs in the virions, and uncharacterized candidate modifications in the SARS-CoV-2 genomic RNA. Our results reveal an under-explored aspect of viral-host interaction that may be explored for viral therapeutics.

lncRNA and mRNA expression signatures in OVCAR3 cells: control vs. miR-200a transfected

Project description:To further development of the effects of miR-200a in ovarian cancer OVCAR3 cells，we have employed lncRNA and mRNA microarray as a discovery platform to identify lncRNA and mRNA expression in miR-200a overexpressing ovarian cancer cells. OVCAR3 cells were transfected with lentiviral vector with eGFP, encoding miR-200a and negative control vector (LV- miR-200a and LV-CON,) by using polybrene. The dysregulation of miR-200a was confirmed by using RT-PCR. RNA was extracted and detected by a lncRNA and mRNA microarray in LV-miR-200a and LV-CON OVCAR3 cells. The different expression of lncRNA and mRNA in LV-miR-200a and LV-CON OVCAR3 cells was analyzed to explore the mechanism that miR-200a affect ovarain cancer cells.
