Optimization of retroviral gene transfer into hematopoietic cells of the dog will facilitate gene therapy of canine X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency (XSCID) and in turn advance similar efforts to treat human XSCID. Both canine and human XSCID are caused by defects in the common gamma  chain, gamma c, of receptors for interleukin-2 and other cytokines. In this study, normal dogs were given retrovirally transduced bone marrow cells with and without preharvest mobilization by the canine growth factors granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) and stem cell factor (SCF). Harvey sarcoma virus and Moloney murine leukemia virus constructs were used, both containing cDNA encoding human gamma c. The Harvey-based vector transduced into cytokine-primed marrow yielded persistent detectable provirus in bone marrow and blood and expression of human gamma c on peripheral lymphocytes. In three dogs, human gamma c expression disappeared after 19 to 34 weeks but reappeared and was sustained, in one dog beyond 16 months posttransplantation, upon immunosuppression with cyclosporin A and prednisone, with up to 25% of lymphocytes expressing human gamma c. The long-term expression of human gamma c in a high proportion of normal canine lymphocytes predicts that retrovirus-mediated gene correction of hematopoietic cells may prove to be of clinical benefit in humans affected with this XSCID.

This is a US government work. There are no restrictions on its use.
