项目摘要
Project Summary
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a common, life-shortening genetic disease. Mutations in the cystic fibrosis conductance
regulator (CFTR) gene lead to defective or absent CFTR that is unable to effectively transport anions in many
tissues, but pulmonary complications are the most common cause of death. Recent advances in CF treatment
include drugs able to rescue protein function. However, these treatments are mutation-class specific and are
ineffective for some mutations. Thus, there is a persistent need to develop mutation agnostic treatments that can
benefit all people with CF, such as gene addition.
Lentiviral vectors are well suited for CF gene therapy because they have sufficient carrying capacity, and their
ability to integrate into the host’s genome ensures long-term benefits. Currently available vectors, however,
produce low vector titers or inefficiently transduce airway epithelial cells from the apical surface. Despite these
limitations, treatment of newborn CF pigs with a lentiviral vector carrying a functional copy of CFTR partially
rescued CF phenotypes, suggesting that achieving therapeutic CFTR expression is within reach.
My long-term goal is to design a lentiviral vector suitable for the effective treatment of pulmonary CF in humans.
The overall objective of his proposal is to evaluate two independent but complementary strategies, to improve
lentiviral delivery of CFTR to human airway epithelial cells. Lentiviral vectors can accommodate envelopes from
other viruses, termed pseudotyping, which can lead them to preferentially transduce specific cell types. For the
first strategy, I screened seven viral envelopes and identified two derived from baboon endogenous retrovirus
(BaEV) that produce high vector titers and efficiently transduce primary human airway epithelial cells from the
apical surface. The second strategy is to increase CFTR expression in transduced cells. Because airway
epithelial cells are electrochemically coupled through gap junctions, a few cells expressing high levels of CFTR
may perform sufficient CFTR-mediated anion transport to correct CF phenotypes. Increased gene expression
can be achieved through codon optimization. I compared three codon optimized CFTR (coCFTR) sequences
and identified one that significantly increases CFTR-mediated transepithelial Cl- transport. My central hypothesis
is that increasing transduction efficiency and transgene expression will be sufficient to achieve wild type levels
of CFTR-mediated anion transport. To test my hypothesis, I propose the following Specific Aims: 1) Determine
if BaEV pseudotyped lentiviral vectors can efficiently deliver CFTR to primary human airway epithelial cells, and
2) Determine if coCFTR delivery reduces the proportion of complemented cells needed to achieve wild type
levels of CFTR-mediated anion transport. These strategies will be tested in vitro using human CF donor-derived
airway epithelia, and in vivo using the CF pig model. These experiments will provide valuable preclinical data
that will guide vector design and inform future clinical trials using lentiviral vectors to treat CF.
项目摘要
囊性纤维化是一种常见的、缩短生命的遗传性疾病。囊性纤维化传导性突变
调节因子(CFTR)基因导致CFTR缺陷或缺失,在许多情况下无法有效地转运阴离子
但肺部并发症是最常见的死亡原因。CF治疗的最新进展
包括能够挽救蛋白质功能的药物。然而,这些治疗是特定于突变类别的,并且是
对某些突变无效。因此,一直需要开发突变不可知的治疗方法,以
造福于所有患有CF的人,如基因相加。
慢病毒载体具有足够的携带能力,非常适合于CF基因治疗,而它们的
整合到宿主基因组中的能力确保了长期的好处。然而,当前可用的载体,
从根尖表面产生低滴度的载体或低效地转导呼吸道上皮细胞。尽管如此
慢病毒载体携带部分功能拷贝的cftr治疗新生猪的局限性
挽救的cf表型,表明实现治疗性cftr表达是触手可及的。
我的长期目标是设计一种适合于有效治疗人类肺部CFs的慢病毒载体。
他建议的总体目标是评估两个独立但互补的战略,以改进
慢病毒载体CFTR对人呼吸道上皮细胞的作用慢病毒载体可以容纳来自
其他病毒,称为伪分型,这可以导致它们优先转导特定类型的细胞。对于
第一个策略,我筛选了七个病毒包膜,并鉴定了两个来源于狒狒内源性逆转录病毒的病毒。
(BaEV)可产生高滴度的载体并有效地转导原代人呼吸道上皮细胞
顶面。第二种策略是在转导细胞中增加CFTR的表达。因为呼吸道
上皮细胞通过缝隙连接进行电化学偶联,少数细胞表达高水平的CFTR
可以执行足够的CFTR介导的阴离子转运来纠正CF表型。基因表达增加
可以通过密码子优化来实现。我比较了三种密码子优化的cftr(CoCFtr)序列
并确定了一种显著增加CFTR介导的跨上皮氯离子转运的基因。我的中心假设
提高转导效率和转基因表达将足以达到野生型水平
Cftr介导的阴离子转运。为了验证我的假设,我提出了以下具体目标:1)确定
如果Baev伪型慢病毒载体能够有效地将CFTR转移到原代人呼吸道上皮细胞,以及
2)确定coCFTR的交付是否降低了获得野生型所需的互补细胞的比例
CFTR介导的阴离子转运水平。这些策略将在体外使用人类CF供体来源的
呼吸道上皮细胞,并在活体内使用CF猪模型。这些实验将提供有价值的临床前数据。
这将指导载体设计,并为未来使用慢病毒载体治疗CF的临床试验提供信息。
