Previously, we reported the development of a human Aγ-globin gene lentivirus (LV), GbG, which expresses high levels of HbF to correct the sickle cell anemia (SCA) phenotype in the Berkeley SCA mouse model, and then modified the γ-globin gene by substituting glycine at codon 16 with aspartic acid in the Aγ-globin gene to generate GbGM LV. In the present study, we evaluated the long-term safety of human Aγ-globin gene carrying GbGM LV in wild-type mice after primary and secondary transplants of GbGM-modified hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) over 18 months. The safety of the GbGM bone marrow transplant was assessed by monitoring the effects on body weight, hematology, histopathology, malignancy formation, and survival. Mice transplanted with Mock-transduced and spleen focus forming virus (SFFV) γ-retroviral vector (RV)-transduced HSC served as negative and positive controls, respectively. The mean donor-cell engraftment was comparable across Mock, GbGM LV, and SFFV RV groups. There were no significant differences in body weight, clinical signs, immunophenotype, or histopathology in the GbGM-treated mice compared to controls. Four SFFV RV-treated mice, but none of the GbGM-treated mice, developed donor-derived, vector-positive lymphomas as demonstrated by flow cytometry analysis and in situ hybridization. These results highlight the safety of the administration of GbGM LV-modified HSC with long-term follow-up after primary and secondary transplants in mice. This data supported the initiation of phase 1/2 first-in-human SCA clinical trial in the United States.
此前,我们报道了一种人类 Aγ-珠蛋白基因慢病毒(LV),GbG,它能够表达高水平的 HbF,从而纠正伯克利镰状细胞贫血(SCA)小鼠模型中的 SCA 表型,随后我们通过用天冬氨酸替代 Aγ-珠蛋白基因中密码子 16 的甘氨酸来修饰 γ-珠蛋白基因,从而生成 GbGM LV。在本研究中,我们评估了 GbGM 修饰的造血干细胞(HSC)初次和二次移植后,携带 GbGM LV 的人类 Aγ-珠蛋白基因在野生型小鼠中的长期安全性,时间超过 18 个月。通过监测体重、血液学、组织病理学、恶性肿瘤形成和存活率来评估 GbGM 骨髓移植的安全性。用 Mock 转导和脾集落形成病毒(SFFV)γ-逆转录病毒载体(RV)转导的 HSC 转染的小鼠分别作为阴性和阳性对照。Mock、GbGM LV 和 SFFV RV 组的平均供体细胞嵌合率相当。与对照组相比,GbGM 治疗组的小鼠体重、临床症状、免疫表型或组织病理学均无显著差异。四只 SFFV RV 治疗组的小鼠,但没有一只 GbGM 治疗组的小鼠,发展为供体衍生的、载体阳性的淋巴瘤,如流式细胞术分析和原位杂交所证实的那样。这些结果突出了在初次和二次移植后,用 GbGM LV 修饰的 HSC 进行治疗的安全性,并进行了长期随访。该数据支持在美国启动 GbGM 修饰的 HSC 治疗 SCA 的 1/2 期首次人体临床试验。
