Abstract

The DNA transposon piggyBac is a potential therapeutic agent for multiple genetic diseases such as cystic fibrosis (CF). Recombinant piggyBac transposon and transposase are typically codelivered by plasmid transfection; however, plasmid delivery is inefficient in somatic cells in vivo and is a barrier to the therapeutic application of transposon-based vector systems. Here, we investigate the potential for hybrid piggyBac/viral vectors to transduce cells and support transposase-mediated genomic integration of the transposon. We tested both adenovirus (Ad) and adeno-associated virus (AAV) as transposon delivery vehicles. An Ad vector expressing hyperactive insect piggyBac transposase (iPB7) was codelivered. We show transposase-dependent transposition activity and mapped integrations in mammalian cells in vitro and in vivo from each viral vector platform. We also demonstrate efficient and persistent transgene expression following nasal delivery of piggyBac/viral vectors to mice. Furthermore, using piggyBac/Ad expressing Cystic Fibrosis transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR), we show persistent correction of chloride current in well-differentiated primary cultures of human airway epithelial cells derived from CF patients. Combining the emerging technologies of DNA transposon-based vectors with well-studied adenoviral and AAV delivery provides new tools for in vivo gene transfer and presents an exciting opportunity to increase the delivery efficiency for therapeutic genes such as CFTR.

摘要

DNA转座子piggyBac是治疗多种遗传疾病(如囊性纤维化,CF)的潜在治疗剂。重组piggyBac转座子和转座酶通常通过质粒转染共同递送;然而,质粒递送在体内体细胞中效率低下,是基于转座子的载体系统治疗应用的障碍。在这里,我们研究了piggyBac/病毒杂交载体转导细胞并支持转座酶介导的转座子基因组整合的潜力。我们测试了腺病毒(Ad)和腺相关病毒(AAV)作为转座子递送载体。共递送了一种表达高活性昆虫piggyBac转座酶(iPB7)的Ad载体。我们展示了转座酶依赖性转座活性,并在体外和体内对来自每个病毒载体平台的哺乳动物细胞中的整合进行了定位。我们还证明了将piggyBac/病毒载体经鼻递送至小鼠后,转基因表达高效且持久。此外,使用表达囊性纤维化跨膜传导调节因子(CFTR)的piggyBac/Ad,我们展示了在源自CF患者的人气道上皮细胞的高度分化原代培养物中氯离子电流的持续校正。将基于DNA转座子的载体这一新兴技术与经过充分研究的腺病毒和AAV递送相结合,为体内基因转移提供了新工具,并为提高CFTR等治疗性基因的递送效率提供了令人兴奋的机会。
