Abstract
The need for better gene transfer systems towards improved
risk=benefit balance for patients remains a major challenge in
the clinical translation of gene therapy (GT). We have investigated
the improvement of integrating vectors safety in
combining (i) new short synthetic genetic insulator elements
(GIE) and (ii) directing genetic integration to heterochromatin.
We have designed SIN-insulated retrovectors with two candidate
GIEs and could identify a specific combination of insulator
2 repeats which translates into best functional activity,
high titers and boundary effect in both gammaretro (p20) and
lentivectors (DCaro4) (see Duros et al, abstract ibid). Since
GIEs are believed to shield the transgenic cassette from inhibitory
effects and silencing, DCaro4 has been further tested
with chimeric HIV-1 derived integrases which comprise C-ter
chromodomains targeting heterochromatin through either
histone H3 (ML6chimera) or methylatedCpGislands (ML10).
With DCaro4 only and both chimeras, a homogeneous expression
is evidenced in over 20% of the cells which is sustained
over time. With control lentivectors, less than 2% of
cells express GFP as compared to background using a control
double-mutant in both catalytic and ledgf binding-sites; in
addition, a two-times increase of expression can be induced
with histone deacetylase inhibitors. Our approach could significantly
reduce integration into open chromatin sensitive
sites in stem cells at the time of transduction, a feature which
might significantly decrease subsequent genotoxicity, according
to X-SCIDs patients data.Work performed with the
support of EC-DG research within the FP6-Network of Excellence,
