Optimization of adenovirus serotype 35 vectors for efficient transduction in human hematopoietic progenitors: comparison of promoter activities.
Gene Therapy 2005 October
Adenoviral gene transfer to hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs)/progenitors would provide a new approach to the treatment of hematopoietic diseases and study of the hematopoietic system. We have previously reported that an adenovirus (Ad) vector composed of whole Ad serotype 35 (Ad35), which belongs to subgroup B, shows efficient gene transfer into human bone marrow CD34+ cells. However, Ad35 vector-mediated transduction into human HSCs/progenitors has not yet been fully optimized. In the present study, we have systematically examined promoter activity in the context of Ad35 vectors in human bone marrow CD34+ cells and primitive CD34+ subsets to optimize the transduction efficiency in human hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells. In the first of the transduction experiments, the improved in vitro ligation method was applied to Ad35 vector construction to allow for simple and efficient production of an E1/E3-deleted Ad35 vector. Using this method, we constructed a series of Ad35 vectors encoding the enhanced green fluorescence protein (GFP) under the control of a variety of strong viral and cellular promoters. Of the six types of promoters tested, significantly higher transduction efficiencies were achieved with the human elongation factor 1alpha promoter (EF1alpha promoter), the human cytomegalovirus (CMV) immediate-early 1 gene enhancer/beta-actin promoter with beta-actin intron (CA promoter), and the CMV promoter/enhancer with the largest intron of CMV (intron A) (CMVi promoter) in the human CD34+ cells and the immature subsets (CD34+ CD38(low/-) and CD34+ AC133+ subsets). In particular, the CA promoter was found to allow for the highest transduction efficiencies in both the whole human CD34+ cells and the immature hematopoietic subsets. Furthermore, the CA promoter-mediated GFP-expressing cells differentiated into progenitor cells of all lineages. These results indicate the construction of an optimized Ad35 vector backbone for efficient transduction into HSCs/progenitors.
