Genetic modification of hematopoietic stem cells with genes that
inhibit replication of human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) could
lead to development of T lymphocytes and monocytic cells resistant to
HIV-1 infection after transplantation. We performed a clinical trial to
evaluate the safety and feasibility of this procedure, using bone
marrow from four HIV-1-infected pediatric subjects (ages 8 to 17 years). We obtained bone marrow, isolated CD34+ cells,
performed in vitro transduction with a retroviral vector carrying a
rev-responsive element (RRE) decoy gene, and reinfused the
cells into these subjects with no evidence of adverse effects. The
levels of gene-containing leukocytes in peripheral blood samples in the
1 year after gene transfer/cell infusion have been extremely low. These
observations support the potential of performing gene therapy for HIV-1
using hematopoietic cells, but emphasize the need for improved gene
transfer techniques.
