To date, the establishment of high-titer stable viral packaging cells (VPCs) at large scale for gene therapeutic applications is very time- and cost-intensive. Here we report the establishment of three human suspension 293-F-derived ecotropic MLV-based VPCs. The classic stable transfection of an EGFP-expressing transfer vector resulted in a polyclonal VPC pool that facilitated cultivation in shake flasks of 100 mL volumes and yielded high functional titers of more than 1 × 10 transducing units/mL (TU/mL). When the transfer vector was flanked by transposon terminal inverted repeats (TIRs) and upon co-transfection of a plasmid encoding for the transposase, productivities could be slightly elevated to more than 3 × 10 TU/mL. In contrast and using mRNA encoding for the transposase, as a proof of concept, productivities were drastically improved by more than ten-fold exceeding 5 × 10 TU/mL. In addition, these VPC pools were generated within only 3 weeks. The production volume was successfully scaled up to 500 mL employing a stirred-tank bioreactor (STR). We anticipate that the stable transposition of transfer vectors employing transposase transcripts will be of utility for the future establishment of high-yield VPCs producing pseudotype vector particles with a broader host tropism on a large scale.
迄今为止,为基因治疗应用大规模建立高滴度稳定病毒包装细胞(VPC)既耗时又成本高昂。在此,我们报告了三种源自人悬浮293-F细胞的嗜亲性莫洛尼鼠白血病病毒(MLV)基VPC的建立。表达增强绿色荧光蛋白(EGFP)的转移载体的经典稳定转染产生了一个多克隆VPC库,便于在100 mL体积的摇瓶中培养,并产生了超过1×10转导单位/毫升(TU/mL)的高功能滴度。当转移载体侧翼带有转座子末端反向重复序列(TIR)并与编码转座酶的质粒共转染时,生产力可略有提高,达到超过3×10 TU/mL。相比之下,作为概念验证,使用编码转座酶的信使核糖核酸(mRNA)时,生产力大幅提高了十倍以上,超过5×10 TU/mL。此外,这些VPC库仅在3周内就生成了。使用搅拌罐生物反应器(STR)成功将产量扩大到500 mL。我们预计,利用转座酶转录本进行转移载体的稳定转座,将有助于未来大规模建立高产VPC,以生产具有更广泛宿主嗜性的假型载体颗粒。
