Purified CD34+ and
CD34+CD38 human umbilical cord blood (UCB)
cells were transduced with the recombinant variant of Moloney murine
leukemia virus (MoMLV) MFG-EGFP or with SF-EGFP, in which EGFP
expression is driven by a hybrid promoter of the spleen focus-forming virus (SFFV) and the murine embryonic stem cell virus (MESV). Infectious MFG-EGFP virus was produced by an amphotropic virus producer
cell line (GP+envAm12). SF-EGFP was produced in the PG13 cell
line pseudotyped for the gibbon ape leukemia virus (GaLV) envelope
proteins. Using a 2-day growth factor prestimulation, followed by a
2-day, fibronectin fragment CH-296-supported transduction, CD34+ and CD34+CD38 UCB
subsets were efficiently transduced using either vector. The use of the
SF-EGFP/PG13 retroviral packaging cell combination consistently
resulted in twofold higher levels of EGFP-expressing cells than the
MFG-EGFP/Am12 combination. Transplantation of 105 input
equivalent transduced CD34+ or 5 × 103
input equivalent CD34+CD38 UCB cells in
nonobese diabetic/severe combined immunodeficient (NOD/SCID) mice resulted in median engraftment percentages
of 8% and 5%, respectively, which showed that the in vivo
repopulating ability of the cells had been retained. In addition, mice
engrafted after transplantation of transduced CD34+ cells
using the MFG-EGFP/Am12 or the SF-EGFP/PG13 combination expressed EGFP
with median values of 2% and 23% of human CD45+ cells,
respectively, which showed that the NOD/SCID repopulating cells were
successfully transduced. EGFP+ cells were found in all
human hematopoietic lineages produced in NOD/SCID mice including human
progenitors with in vitro clonogenic ability. EGFP-expressing cells
were also detected in the human cobblestone area-forming cell (CAFC)
assay at 2 to 6 weeks of culture on the murine stromal cell line
FBMD-1. During the transduction procedure the absolute numbers of CAFC
week 6 increased 5- to 10-fold. The transduction efficiency of this
progenitor cell subset was similar to the fraction of
EGFP+ human cells in the bone marrow of the NOD/SCID mice
transplanted with MFG-EGFP/Am12 or SF-EGFP/PG13 transduced
CD34+ cells, ie, 6% and 27%, respectively. The study
thus shows that purified CD34+ and highly purified
CD34+CD38 UCB cells can be transduced
efficiently with preservation of repopulating ability. The SF-EGFP/PG13
vector/packaging cell combination was much more effective in
transducing repopulating cells than the MFG-EGFP/Am12 combination.
