Abstract

Background

Conventional gene‐therapy applications of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) involve purification of CD34+ progenitor cells from the mobilized peripheral blood, ex vivo transduction of the gene of interest into them, and reinfusion of the transduced CD34+ progenitor cells into patients. Eliminating the process of purification would save labor, time and money, while enhancing HSCs viability, transplantability and pluripotency. Lentiviral vectors have been widely used in gene therapy because they infect both dividing and nondividing cells and provide sustained transgene expression. One of the exceptions to this rule is quiescent primary lymphocytes, in which reverse transcription of viral DNA is not completed.

Methods

In the present study, we tested the possibility of targeting CD34+ progenitor cells within nonpurified human mobilized peripheral blood mononuclear cells (mPBMCs) utilizing vesicular stomatitis virus G (VSV‐G) pseudotyped lentiviral vectors, based on the assumption that the CD34+ progenitor cells would be preferentially transduced. To further enhance the specificity of vector transduction, we also examined utilizing a modified Sindbis virus envelope (2.2) pseudotyped lentiviral vector, developed in our laboratory, that allows targeted transduction to specific cell receptors via antibody recognition.

Results

Both the VSV‐G and 2.2 pseudotyped vectors achieved measurable results when they were used to target CD34+ progenitor cells in nonpurified mPBMCs.

Conclusions

Overall, the data obtained demonstrate the potential of ex vivo targeting of CD34+ progenitor cells without purification. Copyright Β© 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Retroviral-mediated gene transfer into hematopoietic stem cells provides the only means of stable transduction of these cells and their progeny for use with a variety of potentially therapeutic genes. Expression of the Moloney amphotropic retroviral receptor-pit-2 or GLVR-2-is critical to the recogn
