Transduction of primitive human hematopoietic cells with recombinant adenovirus vectors.

چکیده
We have examined the ability of recombinant adenoviral vectors to transduce human hematopoietic cells. Our findings indicate that adenovirus readily infects a large proportion of CD34+ cells. Using adenovirus vectors that transduce either a lacZ or an alkaline phosphatase reporter gene, we observed up to 45% of total CD34+ cells infected. Upon more detailed analysis, we observed comparable levels of transduction for CD34+/CD38- cells and for CD34+ cells in G(zero) phase of the cell cycle. Importantly, exposure to adenovirus resulted in negligible levels of toxicity as assayed by propidium iodide staining and colony-forming ability. Using adenovirus vectors, we also describe a model system for regulated gene expression in early hematopoietic tissues. CD34+ cells were simultaneously infected with two viruses, one carrying a TetR/VP16 transactivator (tTA) and the second carrying a tTA-dependent lacZ reporter gene. Using this approach, beta-gal expression was only observed upon coinfection with the transactivator vector. In addition, as shown previously (Gossen and Bujard, Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 89:5547, 1992), tetracycline was able to inhibit tTA mediated induction, thereby providing an effective means to regulate expression of the reporter gene. We conclude that recombinant adenovirus is an effective vehicle for transiently expressing genes in primitive human hematopoietic cells.

متن کاملInfluence of E1-Deleted Recombinant Adenoviruses on B7.1 and IL-2 Expression in C1498 Cells
Knowing that adenoviral vectors could initiate innate immunity, the ability of E1-deleted recombinant adenovirus (Ad-E1Δ) in induction of B7.1 and IL-2 molecules was studied. Methods: The expression of green fluorescent protein in C1498 cells following transfection of these cells with adenovirus green fluorescent protein vector confirmed the ability of adenovirus vectors in infecting the cells ...
متن کاملRedirected infection of directly biotinylated recombinant adenovirus vectors through cell surface receptors and antigens.
The inability of adenovirus to infect primitive hematopoietic cells presents an obstacle to the use of adenovirus vectors for gene transfer to these cell types. Therefore, expanding the tropism of adenovirus vectors to unique cell surface antigens would be an important development for gene therapy protocols. In this study, we sought to redirect infection of adenovirus vectors to primitive human...
