Abstract/OtherAbstract:
BACKGROUND: Ex vivo gene therapy of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) requires efficient transduction of leukemic cells. Recombinant adenovirus has been reported to be a poorly efficient vector in leukemic cells. We investigated leukemic cell culture as a possible method of improving the efficacy of this vector. METHODS: Leukemic cell lines and primary cultured AML cells were incubated with adenoviral vectors carrying GFP, LacZ, or IL-12 cDNA. Transduction efficiency was evaluated by measuring adenoviral genome copy number and transgene expression in leukemic cells. The expression of the coxsackie/adenovirus receptor (CAR), CD29, CD49e, and CD51/61 was measured, as was the effect of blocking integrin on adenoviral transduction. RESULTS: Increasing the multiplicity of infection (MOI) to 300 plaque-forming units per cell enhanced transduction of leukemic cell lines and to a lesser degree of AML cells. Analysis of adenoviral genome copy per cell showed only a partial correlation between gene transfer efficiency and transgene expression. Culture of AML cells for 3 days prior to adenoviral transduction increased both adenoviral copy number per cell and the percentage of transgene-expressing cells. CD29, CD49e, and CD51/61 but not CAR expression increased in cultured AML cells between days 0 and 3 and integrin-blocking experiments showed inhibition of transduction in two of four AML samples tested. CONCLUSIONS: Efficient ex vivo gene transfer in primary cultured AML cells can be achieved by short-term culture of leukemic cells prior to gene transfer with adenoviral vectors at a high MOI. This effect appears to be at least partially mediated by enhanced integrin expression.
