The Sleeping Beauty (SB) transposon system is a non-viral DNA delivery system in which a transposase directs integration of an SB transposon into TA-dinucleotide sites in the genome. To determine whether the SB transposon system can mediate stable gene expression in human T-cells, primary peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) were nucleofected with SB vectors carrying a DsRed reporter gene. Plasmids containing the SB transposase on the same (cis) or separate molecule (trans) as the SB transposon mediated long-term and stable reporter gene expression in human primary T-cells. Sequencing of transposon:chromosome junctions confirmed that stable gene expression was due to SB-mediated transposition. In other studies, PBLs were successfully transfected using the SB transposon system and shown to stably express a fusion protein consisting of (i) a surface receptor useful for positive T-cell selection and (ii) a "suicide" gene useful for elimination of transfected T-cells after chemotherapy. This study is the first report demonstrating that the SB transposon system can mediate stable gene transfer in human primary PBLs, which may be advantageous for T-cell based gene therapies.
