We have achieved high-efficiency gene transfer into nonmobilized peripheral
blood (PB) CD34+ cells from patients with Gaucher's disease using a
clinically acceptable retroviral supernatant transduction protocol. In our
studies, bone marrow (BM) and PB CD34+ cells were transduced using a high
titer (10(8) particles/mL) retroviral supernatant once a day for 4
consecutive days in the presence of interleukin-3 (IL-3), IL-6, and stem
cell factor (SCF), with or without an irradiated allogeneic BM stromal
layer. The growth factors alone resulted in 29% +/- 10% gene transfer of PB
CD34+ clonogenic cells in contrast with 71% +/- 17% gene transfer
efficiency using stroma with the growth factors; a 2.5-fold increase. The
increase in gene transfer efficiency was less prominent when BM CD34+ cells
were used (40% +/- 16% without and 57% +/- 8% with stroma, a 1.5-fold
increase). The overall transduction efficiency of both PB and BM CD34+
cells was lower when the cells were transduced over a stromal cell layer
without added growth factors. The combination of IL-3, IL-6, and SCF with
stroma transduced 75% of primitive long-term culture initiating cells (PB
LTC- ICs) in comparison with 34% of LTC-ICs when IL-3, IL-6, and SCF were
used without stromal support. Using this clinically acceptable
supernatant/cytokines/stroma transduction protocol, correction of the
glucocerebrosidase (GC) deficiency in the progeny cells of PBLTC-ICs from
Gaucher's-disease patients has been accomplished. Efficient transduction of
the PB CD34+ cells using this transduction protocol may allow repeated
delivery of "GC-corrected" hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells to
Gaucher's-disease patients.
