Abstract:
:Adenovirus (Ad) vectors have been extensively used to deliver recombinant genes to a great variety of cell types in vitro and in vivo. Ad-based vectors are available that replace the Ad early region 1 (E1) with recombinant foreign genes. The resultant E1-deleted vectors can then be propagated on 293 cells, a human embryonal kidney cell line that constitutively expresses the E1 genes. Unfortunately, infection of cells and tissues in vivo results in low-level expression of Ad early and late proteins (despite the absence of E1 activity) resulting in immune recognition of virally infected cells. The infected cells are subsequently eliminated, resulting in only a transient expression of foreign genes in vivo. We hypothesize that a second-generation Ad vector with a deletion of viral genes necessary for Ad genome replication should block viral DNA replication and decrease viral protein production, resulting in a diminished immune response and extended duration of foreign gene expression in vivo. As a first step toward the generation of such a modified vector, we report the construction of cell lines that not only express the E1 genes but also constitutively express the Ad serotype 2 140-kDa DNA polymerase protein, one of three virally encoded proteins essential for Ad genome replication. The Ad polymerase-expressing cell lines support the replication and growth of H5ts36, an Ad with a temperature-sensitive mutation of the Ad polymerase protein. These packaging cell lines can be used to prepare Ad vectors deleted for the E1 and polymerase functions, which should facilitate development of viral vectors for gene therapy of human diseases.
