Definitions
- the present invention relates to an improved adeno-associated viral vector, to a method of transfecting target cells, an adeno-associated viral producer cell and a method for the production of an adeno-associated viral vector.
- Adeno-associated virus is a vector which has shown promise in virally-mediated gene therapy protocols.
- AAV is a small, 20-22nm, replication defective, non-pathogenic parvo virus.
- Six serotypes of AAV are currently known (types 1 to 6) , of which type 2 is the most extensively studied.
- AAV type 2 has a single stranded DNA genome of 4.7kB which encodes both structral proteins through a cap gene and non-structural proteins through a rep gene.
- the virus has a pair of 146bp inverted terminal repeats (ITRs) which are the only els acting elements in AAV required for replication and packaging.
- ITRs inverted terminal repeats
- the present invention aims to increase the level of transgene expression from an adeno-associated viral vector.
- the present invention provides an adeno-associated viral vector containing a transgene and encapsidating a protein with adenovirus E4 ORF6 activity.
- the protein is preferably an adenovirus E4 ORF6 protein such as is obtainable from adenovirus .
- the present invention provides the adeno- associated viral vector for use as a medicament, especially in gene therapy. Also provided is a method for transfecting target cells, which comprises contacting target cells with the adeno-associated viral vector under conditions to achieve adeno-associated viral infection.
- E4 ORF6 needs to be present as a polypeptide to facilitate conversion of the AAV single stranded genome to the double stranded replicative form.
- the present invention provides an adeno- associated viral producer cell containing a gene encoding a protein with E4 ORF6 activity, which gene is under the control of an inducible promoter.
- E4 0RF6 constitutive expression of E4 0RF6 in the AAV producer cell tends to have an adverse effect on the cell. This was unexpected. However, by putting the gene under control of an inducible promoter the producer cell is able to tolerate the presence of the protein.
- Any inducible promoter may be used, such as the MMTV-LTR (Mouse Mammary Tumour Virus-Long Terminal Repeat) promoter, which is inducible by dexamethasone .
- the inducer may be added to the medium in which the cells grow or, alternatively, may be produced upon infection of the cell by AAV or helper virus for AAV.
- an AAV inducible promoter was used; the P5 promoter. In this case, upon infection with both adeno-virus and AAV, the P5 promoter is induced so as to induce the E4 ORF6 protein.
- the gene comprises a drug-resistance marker, such as an antibiotic resistance marker which enables the cells to be grown in medium containing the relevant drug or antibiotic.
- the selectable marker may be a cell surface marker such as a receptor which can be specifically targeted by a complimentary molecule such as an antibody thereto.
- One such cell surface marker is nerve growth factor (NGF) .
- the gene encoding adenovirus E4 ORF6 protein may be conveniently introduced into the producer cell on a plasmid.
- the E4 ORF6 gene may be readily obtained from an adenovirus such as adenovirus type 2, which is deposited as ATCC VR846, the sequence of which is published by EMBL at locus HACG. See also Ohman et al in Virology 194 (1) , 50-58, 1993 where cloning of E4 ORF is reported. From the EMBL sequence the E4 region spans nucleotides 32801-35609 and E4 ORF6 from Ohman et al spans nucleotides 33193-34115 .
- the protein with E4 ORF6 activity has a nuclear localisation sequence which is typically situated outside of the functional part of the E4 ORF6 protein, typically at or near the N- or C-terminal sequence of the protein.
- the nuclear localisation sequence confers on the protein an important property.
- the AAV producer cell which incorporates the gene encoding the protein with E4 ORF6 activity may be any producer cell commonly used to produce AAV vectors, such as a human 293 producer cell (ATCC CRL 1573) .
- the AAV will be rep " cap " and so either a second transfection step involving the introduction of rep and cap on, for example, a plasmid would need to be undertaken or the producer cells would have to be made rep + cap + .
- the producer cell is a stable cell containing rep and cap, both associated with a selectable marker as described above.
- transfection or infection by AAV DNA (rep " cap " ) requires no second plasmid transfection step.
- the producer cell comprises a rep-containing region which comprises a rep gene associated with a marker gene for rep, and a cap-containing region which comprises a cap gene associated with a marker gene for cap.
- the rep-containing and cap-containing regions are preferably sufficiently spaced apart to prevent their simultaneous recombination with adeno-associated virus. This confers a further advantage on the viral producer cells .
- the AAV DNA would necessarily contain inverted terminal repeats and so a problem arises in producing AAV vectors because there is a low but significant frequency of homologous recombination.
- the AAV producer cells contain a rep gene contiguous with a cap gene, homologous recombination events result in contaminating amounts of wild-type AAV being formed. This problem is avoided where the cap and rep genes are spaced sufficiently apart to prevent such simultaneous co- recombination of rep and cap.
- the rep gene and/or the cap gene is plasmid-borne so as to avoid contaminating homologous recombination. More preferably, both rep and cap genes are plasmid-borne.
- the viral producer cell is formed from a multicopy plasmid which carries a rep gene and cap gene. In this embodiment it is preferable for the plasmid to have an origin of replication.
- the producer cell is preferably capable of producing a replication initiator for the origin of replication of the plasmid. In this way, multiple copies of the plasmid are made in the cell.
- Various combinations of replication initiator and origin of replication are known. A particularly useful combination is where the cell is a COS cell and the origin of replication is SV40 ori .
- COS cells produce T antigen as a replication initiator for SV40 ori.
- Another example of such a combination is EBNA1 as a replication initiator for oriP.
- EBNA1 and oriP are derived from the Epstein Barr virus which is capable of infecting a variety of cells, including human cell lines.
- the rep gene encodes a rep mRNA which has reduced efficiency of translation as compared with wild-type rep mRNA. More preferably, the rep mRNA of the viral producer cells has a mutant initiation codon which reduces the efficiency of translation. Wild-type initiation codons are AUG whereas mutant initiation codons may be UUG, CUG, or GUG, preferably ACG.
- the adeno-associated viral producer cell comprises at least one rep gene and at least two cap genes, wherein the number of cap genes exceeds the number of rep genes . This may be achieved by locating a rep gene on one plasmid and locating a cap gene on a multicopy plasmid.
- the present invention provides a method for the production of an adeno-associated viral vector, which comprises introducing into the viral producer cell DNA comprising a transgene flanked by adeno-associated virus inverted terminal repeats, allowing formation of adeno- associated viral vectors in the viral producer cell, and isolating the adeno-associated viral vectors.
- the DNA may be introduced into the producer cell by transfection, for example as part of a suitable plasmid, in the presence of an adeno- associated helper virus, or by infection as part of a suitable virus.
- the DNA may be integrated into the genome of an adeno- associated helper virus which infects the producer cell or the DNA may comprise the genome of an adeno-associated virus which is infected into the producer cell in the presence of an adeno-associated helper virus.
- the helper virus comprises an adenovirus, such as adenovirus type 5.
- This example compares level of transgene expression in target cells using AAV type 2 viruses from producer cell lines containing E4 0RF6 with and without an NLS .
- a stable cell line was made by lipofecting COS 7 cells (ATCC CRL 1651) with the E4 ORF6 containing plasmid containing a hygromycin resistance cassette.
- Adenovirus E40RF6 cDNA was a very kind gift from Gorkan Akusvardi.
- the cDNA was excised from pBR322 using BamHI and inserted into pBK-CMV (Stratagene) to give pCMV-ORF6.
- the ORF6 cDNA was then subcloned into the hygromycin resistant expression plasmid p3"SS (Stratagene) by digestion with Hind III/XbaI and subsequent ligation to Hind III/XbaI digested p3"SS. This gave p3"SS/ORF6.
- NLS nuclear localisation signal
- Hygromycin resistant stable COS-7 cell transfectant lines were created using both the above plasmids to give lines termed COS/ORF6/NLS and COS/ORF6.
- rAAV Three different aliquots of rAAV were prepared, one prepared using the C0S/0RF6/NLS cell line, one using COS/ORF6 and one using unmodified parental COS cells.
- Helper and Vector Plasmids pUC 18 was modified by the insertion of a pair of linkers:- 5' CAT CGA TGG CCA GAT CTG ATA TCG ATG 3 ' and 5 ' CAT GGT AGC TAC CGG TCT AGA CTA TAG CTA CCT AG 3 ' between the Kpn I /Bam HI sites to give an extended multiple cloning site with additional Cla I, Bal I, Bgl II, and Eco RV sites. Wild type
- AAV was obtained from the ATCC. After digest with Bgl II, the resulting AAV fragment was cloned into the modified pUC18 to give pUC/AAV.
- Dra III and Nco I Digestion of pUC/AAV with Dra III and Nco I removes the two genes rep and cap, essentially leaving the ITRs of the wild type virus . Blunting the Dra III/Nco I ends with T4 DNA polymerase allows ligation of the ⁇ -galactosidase cDNA plasmid (Promega) to yield pUC/AAV/ ⁇ -gal (vector plasmid) .
- the ITR helper plasmid was obtained by sequential removal of the ITRs from pUC/AAV. The 5' ITR was removed by digestion with Eco RV and SnaBI and religating the DNA. This plasmid was then digested with Bal I to remove the 3 ' ITR and religated to give pUC/rep/cap. (helper plasmid) .
- AAV ⁇ - galactosidase AAV ⁇ -gal
