High-titer self-inactivating human immunodeficiency virus type-1
(HIV-1)-based vectors expressing the green fluorescent protein reporter gene that contained the central polypurine and termination tract and the woodchuck hepatitis virus posttranscriptional regulatory element were constructed. Transduction efficiency and
biodistribution were determined, following systemic administration of
these improved lentiviral vectors. In adult severe combined
immunodeficiency (SCID) mice, efficient stable gene transfer was
achieved in the liver (8.0% ± 6.0%) and spleen
(24% ± 3%). Most transduced hepatocytes and nonhepatocytes were
nondividing, thereby obviating the need to induce liver cell
proliferation. In vivo gene transfer with this improved lentiviral
vector was relatively safe since liver enzyme concentration in the
plasma was only moderately and transiently elevated. In addition,
nondividing major histocompatibility complex class II-positive splenic
antigen-presenting cells (APCs) were efficiently transduced in SCID and
normal mice. Furthermore, B cells were efficiently transduced, whereas
T cells were refractory to lentiviral transduction in vivo. However, in
neonatal recipients, lentiviral transduction was more widespread and
included not only hepatocytes and splenic APCs but also cardiomyocytes.
The present study suggests potential uses of improved lentiviral
vectors for gene therapy of genetic blood disorders resulting from
serum protein deficiencies, such as hemophilia, and hepatic disease.
However, the use of liver-specific promoters may be warranted to
circumvent inadvertent transgene expression in APCs. In addition, these
improved lentiviral vectors could potentially be useful for genetic
vaccination and treatment of perinatal cardiac disorders.
