Efficient gene delivery into mammalian cells mediated by a recombinant baculovirus containing a whispovirus ie1 promoter, a novel shuttle promoter between insect cells and mammalian cells

Recombinant baculoviruses have emerged as a new gene delivery vehicle for mammalian cells. Thus, a shuttle promoter that mediates gene expression in both insect and mammalian cells will facilitate the development of a baculovirus vector-based mammalian cell gene delivery vehicle. This study described the generation of three recombinant baculoviruses with an EGFP reporter gene under the control of the white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) ie1 promoter, or either of two control promoters, the baculovirus early-to-late (ETL) promoter and polyhedrin promoter. The resulting recombinant baculoviruses were used to infect insect Sf9 cells and transduce several mammalian cell lines to test the expression of EGFP. We found that the WSSV ie1 promoter displayed a strong promoter activity in both insect and mammalian cells, and showed a stronger promoter activity than the ETL promoter in some mammalian cell lines. The activity of the WSSV ie1 promoter, but not the ETL promoter, can be enhanced by sodium butyrate, a histone deacetylase inhibitor. A transient plasmid transfection assay indicated that the WSSV ie1 promoter activity in mammalian cells is independent of baculovirus gene expression, differing from the ETL promoter, which was shown to be baculovirus-dependent. This study demonstrates, for the first time, that the WSSV ie1 promoter can function as a baculovirus-independent shuttle promoter between insect cells and mammalian cells. This novel shuttle promoter will facilitate the application of baculovirus-based vectors in gene expression, gene therapy, and non-replicative vector vaccines.     

Production of Classical Swine Fever Virus Envelope Glycoprotein E2 as Recombinant Polyhedra in Baculovirus-Infected Silkworm Larvae

Although, classical swine fever virus (CSFV) envelope glycoprotein E2 subunit vaccine has been developed using the baculovirus expression system, the expression of viral antigens in baculovirus-infected insect cells is often ineffective. Therefore, an alternative strategy to the traditional baculovirus expression system is needed that is more productive and effective. Here, we report a novel strategy for the large-scale production of a CSFV E2 in the larvae of a baculovirus-infected silkworm, Bombyx mori. We constructed a recombinant B. mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) that expressed recombinant polyhedra together with the N-terminal 179 amino acids of CSFV E2 (E2ΔC). BmNPV-E2ΔC-infected silkworm larvae expressed native polyhedrin and approximately 44-kDa fusion protein that was detected using both anti-polyhedrin and anti-CSFV E2 antibodies. Electron and confocal microscopy both demonstrated that the recombinant polyhedra contained both the fusion protein and native polyhedrin were morphologically normal and contained CSFV E2ΔC. The CSFV E2ΔC antigen produced in BmNPV-E2ΔC-infected silkworm larvae reached 0.68?mg/ml of hemolymph and 0.53?mg/larva at 6-days post-infection. Six-week-old female BALB/c mice that were immunized with the E2ΔC protein purified from solubilized recombinant polyhedra elicited CSFV E2 antibodies, which indicated that the CSFV E2ΔC protein from recombinant polyhedra was immunogenic. The virus neutralization test showed that the serum from mice that were treated with E2ΔC protein from recombinant polyhedra contained significant levels of virus neutralization activity. These results demonstrate that this strategy can be used for the large-scale production of CSFV E2 antigen.     

Hepatocyte-specific gene expression by baculovirus pseudotyped with vesicular stomatitis virus envelope glycoprotein.

We have developed the recombinant baculovirus pseudotyped with vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) G protein. The VSV-G gene was under the control of the polyhedrin promoter so that it was expressed at high levels in infected insect cells but not in mammalian cells. The presence of VSV-G protein in purified baculovirus preparations was confirmed by Western analysis. This recombinant baculovirus also carried human AFP (alpha-fetoprotein) promoter for hepatocyte-specific gene expression. After an in vitro infection by a recombinant baculovirus carrying the luciferase gene under the control of human AFP promoter/enhancer (BacG-AFP-Luc(+)), the luciferase gene was expressed in AFP-producing Huh7, Hep3B, and HepG2 cell lines, but not in AFP-nonproducing cell lines. BacG-AFP-Luc(+) transduced with human hepatoma cells in vitro at an efficiency about fivefold greater than the recombinant baculovirus lacking VSV-G (the virus Bac-AFP-Luc(+)). The utilization of the AFP promoter/enhancer in a baculovirus vector could provide benefits in gene therapy applications.

Inhibition of HIV-1 replication by vesicular stomatitis virus envelope glycoprotein pseudotyped baculovirus vector-transduced ribozyme in mammalian cells

The baculovirus has recently emerged as a promising vector for in vivo gene therapy. To investigate its potential as a delivery vector for an anti-virus ribozyme targeting HIV-1, we constructed recombinant baculovirus vectors bearing a ribozyme-synthesizing cassette driven by the tRNA(i)(Met) promoter with enhanced transduction efficiency by displaying vesicular stomatitis virus glycoprotein (VSV-G) on the viral envelope. Transduction of HeLa CD4(+) cells with a recombinant baculovirus delivering the HIV-1 U5 gene-specific ribozyme dramatically suppressed HIV-1 expression in this cell line. The VSV-G pseudotyped baculovirus vector-transduced ribozyme potently inhibited HIV-1 replication compared to a recombinant baculovirus vector-transduced ribozyme lacking VSV-G. The use of a baculovirus vector might be beneficial for application in gene therapy.
