We examined the ability of a HIV-1-based vector (VRX494) encoding a 937-bp antisense HIV-1 envelope sequence to inhibit the replication of chimeric SIV/HIV-1 viruses encoding the HIV-1 envelope. Challenge of VRX494-transduced CEMx174 cells resulted in potent inhibition of HIV-1 and several SHIV strains. To evaluate the potential efficacy of the VRX494 vector for stem cell gene therapy, rhesus CD34(+) bone marrow cells were transduced with VRX494 and then cultured on thymus stroma to induce T cell differentiation. Transduction conditions for CD34(+) cells were optimized to yield high transduction efficiency with minimal effective multiplicity of infection. Purified CD4(+) GFP(+) T cells derived from VRX494-transduced CD34(+) cells strongly inhibited SHIV HXBC2P 3.2 and SHIV 89.6P replication compared to controls. Southern blot analysis of VRX494-transduced T cell clones revealed a subset of cells with multiple proviral copies per cell. Expression of GFP and the antisense inhibitor in VRX494-transduced cells was upregulated by Tat. Analysis of HIV-1 envelope sequences in VRX494-transduced cells revealed modifications consistent with those mediated by double-stranded RNA-dependent adenosine deaminase. These results indicate that the macaque/SHIV model should serve as a useful preclinical model to evaluate this lentiviral vector expressing an HIV-1 antisense inhibitor for stem cell gene therapy for AIDS.
