We report here that the DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK) affects the molecular fate of the recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) genome in skeletal muscle. rAAV-human alpha1-antitrypsin (rAAV-hAAT) vectors were delivered by intramuscular injection to either C57BL/6 (DNA-PKcs(+)) or C57BL/6-SCID [severe combined immunodeficient (SCID), DNA-PKcs(-)] mice. In both strains, high levels of transgene expression were sustained for up to 1 year after a single injection. Southern blot analysis showed that rAAV genomes persisted as linear episomes for more than 1 year in SCID mice, whereas only circular episomal forms were observed in the C57BL/6 strain. These results indicate that DNA-PK is involved in the formation of circular rAAV episomes.
我们在此报告,DNA依赖性蛋白激酶(DNA-PK)影响重组腺相关病毒(rAAV)基因组在骨骼肌中的分子命运。通过肌肉注射将rAAV-人α1-抗胰蛋白酶(rAAV-hAAT)载体递送至C57BL/6(DNA-PKcs(+))或C57BL/6-SCID [严重联合免疫缺陷(SCID),DNA-PKcs(-)]小鼠。在这两种品系中,单次注射后高水平的转基因表达可持续长达1年。Southern印迹分析表明,rAAV基因组在SCID小鼠中以线性附加体形式持续存在超过1年,而在C57BL/6品系中仅观察到环状附加体形式。这些结果表明,DNA-PK参与环状rAAV附加体的形成。
