Local and regulated expression of exogenous genes in the central nervous system is one of the major challenges of modern neuroscience. We have approached this issue by applying the inducible tetracycline system to regulate the expression of EGFP reporter gene in double transgenic rats. We have obtained a strong induction of EGFP only in male testes, which correlated with a high level of rtTA expression only in this organ. To overcome the problem of lack of rtTA protein in the transgenic rat brain, we have delivered this Tet system activator with lentiviral vectors into the dentate gyrus of hippocampus of transgenic EGFP rats. As a result, after systemic application of doxycycline we have obtained inducible, stable and restricted to the desired brain region expression of EGFP. An advantage of this strategy is that the transgene is located in the same genetic milieu in every cell of the transgenic organism. This is crucial to obtain uniform expression of the regulated gene within the target brain structure. Combination of rat transgenesis and lentiviral vectors is a novel approach enabling precise spatiotemporal regulation of genes of interest strictly in the brain structure of choice or in other tissues. genesis 47:274–280, 2009. © 2009 Wiley‐Liss, Inc. 相似文献

Expression and recombination of the EGFP and EYFP genes in lentiviral vectors carrying two heterologous promoters 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
BACKGROUND: Expressing two genes in the progeny of stem and progenitor cells that are transduced with a unique viral vector is desirable in certain situations. We tested the ability of two lentiviral vectors to transduce human cells of hematopoietic origin and concomitantly express two reporter genes, either EGFP (enhanced green fluorescent protein) and DsRed2, or EGFP and EYFP (enhanced yellow fluorescent protein), from two internal promoters. METHODS: The vectors were generated from the pTRIP deltaU3 EF1alpha EGFP lentiviral vector. Following transduction of hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic cell lines, we performed FACS, PCR and Southern blot analyzes to quantify transduction, integration efficiencies and size of integrated lentiviral vectors, respectively. RESULTS: The detection of DsRed2 fluorescence appeared unexpectedly low in human cells of hematopoietic origin. Alternatively, a modification in the flow cytometry assay allowed us to distinguish between the two overlapping fluorescence signals emitted by EGFP and EYFP, when transduced cells were excited with a 488-nm laser beam. However, the low frequency of double-positive EGFP+ EYFP+ cells, and the existence of single-positive, mostly EGFP- EYFP+, cells, prompted us to search for recombinations in the vector sequence. Southern blotting of DNA obtained from transduced cells indeed demonstrated that recombination had occurred between the two closely related EGFP and EYFP sequences. DISCUSSION: These observations suggest that recombination occurred within the EGFP and EYFP genes, which differ by only four amino acids. We conclude that the insertion of two highly homologous sequences into a lentiviral backbone can favor recombination. 相似文献

Several studies have shown the ability of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)-based lentiviral vectors to infect nondividing brain neurons. We are the first to show that primary embryonic cerebral cortical neurons can be efficiently transduced by an HIV-1-based lentiviral vector encoding enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP). We also describe the optimal conditions for the transduction of cerebral cortical neurons with lentiviral vectors, and the kinetic process of infection. The percentage of cells expressing EGFP is a function of the time in culture and virus dose. The highest percentage of EGFP-expression achieved was 46.77% at 4 days in vitro (DIV) with a multiplicity of infection (m.o.i.) of 20. The results show that lentiviral vectors are not only good prospects for in vivo gene delivery, but are also good candidates for in vitro studies of the function of gene products in primary cerebral cortical neurons. 相似文献

Lentiviral gene transfer vectors are suitable for genetically modifying non-cycling primary human cells. In this study, we
analyzed transduced human dendritic cells (DC) generated by the use of three different GFP-encoding lentiviral vectors, HIV-2
ROD A Δenv-GFP (ROD A), SIVsmm PBj ΔE EGFP (PBj), and SIVmac ΔE EGFP (SIVmac). CD14+ monocytes were isolated from buffy coat, transduced, and differentiated to immature and mature DC. Cytofluometric analysis
of DC revealed high transduction efficiencies at MOI 1 for simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV)-derived vectors PBj and SIVmac
ranging between 80–90 and 70–90%, respectively. In contrast, transduction with ROD A resulted only in approximately 30%-positive
DC at the same MOI. Of note, none of the analyzed vectors affected expression of maturation and/or activation markers. Moreover,
transduction with PBj or SIVmac did not induce significant cytokine responses whereas ROD A transduction stimulated weak interferon-alpha
responses. SIVmac transduced DC showed normal phagocytosis of antigen and normal allo T cell stimulatory capacity when compared
with untreated DC. Thus, the SIVmac lentiviral transduction vector is suitable for efficient genetic modification of human
DC without affecting phenotype or function and thus qualifies this vector as a versatile tool for use in basic research. 相似文献

Optimization of the Transductional Efficiency of Lentiviral Vectors: Effect of Sera and Polycations 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Lentiviral vectors are widely used as effective gene-delivery vehicles. Optimization of the conditions for efficient lentiviral transduction is of a high importance for a variety of research applications. Presence of positively charged polycations reduces the electrostatic repulsion forces between a negatively charged cell and an approaching enveloped lentiviral particle resulting in an increase in the transduction efficiency. Although a variety of polycations are commonly used to enhance the transduction with retroviruses, the relative effect of various types of polycations on the efficiency of transduction and on the potential bias in the determination of titer of lentiviral vectors is not fully understood. Here, we present data suggesting that DEAE-dextran provides superior results in enhancing lentiviral transduction of most tested cell lines and primary cell cultures. Specific type and source of serum affects the efficiency of transduction of target cell populations. Non-specific binding of enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP)-containing membrane aggregates in the presence of DEAE-dextran does not significantly affect the determination of the titer of EGFP-expressing lentiviral vectors. In conclusion, various polycations and types of sera should be tested when optimizing lentiviral transduction of target cell populations. 相似文献

Because of the physiological and immunological similarities that exist between pigs and humans, porcine pluripotent cell lines have been identified as important candidates for preliminary studies on human disease as well as a source for generating transgenic animals. Therefore, the establishment and characterization of porcine embryonic stem cells (pESCs), along with the generation of stable transgenic cell lines, is essential. In this study, we attempted to efficiently introduce transgenes into Epiblast stem cell (EpiSC)-like pESCs. Consequently, a pluripotent cell line could be derived from a porcine-hatched blastocyst. Enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) was successfully introduced into the cells via lentiviral vectors under various multiplicities of infection, with pluripotency and differentiation potential unaffected after transfection. However, EGFP expression gradually declined during extended culture. This silencing effect was recovered by in vitro differentiation and treatment with 5-azadeoxycytidine. This phenomenon was related to DNA methylation as determined by bisulfite sequencing. In conclusion, we were able to successfully derive EpiSC-like pESCs and introduce transgenes into these cells using lentiviral vectors. This cell line could potentially be used as a donor cell source for transgenic pigs and may be a useful tool for studies involving EpiSC-like pESCs as well as aid in the understanding of the epigenetic regulation of transgenes. 相似文献

Lentiviral vectors are a powerful tool for the genetic modification of livestock species. We previously generated transgenic founder cattle with lentiviral integrants carrying enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) under the control of the phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK) promoter. In this study, we investigated the transmission of LV-PGK-EGFP integrants through the female and male germ line in cattle. A transgenic founder heifer (#562, Kiki) was subjected to superovulation treatment and inseminated with semen from a non-transgenic bull. Embryos were recovered and transferred to synchronized recipient heifers, resulting in the birth of a healthy male transgenic calf expressing EGFP as detected by in vivo imaging. Semen from a transgenic founder bull (#561, Jojo) was used for in vitro fertilization (IVF) of in vitro matured (IVM) oocytes from non-transgenic cows. The rates of cleavage and development to blastocyst in vitro corresponded to 52.0 ± 4.1 and 24.5 ± 4.4%, respectively. Expression of EGFP was observed at blastocyst stage (day 7 after IVF) and was seen in 93.0% (281/302) of the embryos. 24 EGFP-expressing embryos were transferred to 9 synchronized recipients. Analysis of 2 embryos, flushed from the uterus on day 15, two fetuses recovered on day 45, and a healthy male transgenic calf revealed consistent high-level expression of EGFP in all tissues investigated. Our study shows for the first time transmission of lentiviral integrants through the germ line of female and male transgenic founder cattle. The pattern of inheritance was consistent with Mendelian rules. Importantly, high fidelity expression of EGFP in embryos, fetuses, and offspring of founder #561 provides interesting tools for developmental studies in cattle, including interactions of gametes, embryos and fetuses with their maternal environment. 相似文献

Production of lentiviral vectors by transient expression of minimal packaging genes from recombinant adenoviruses 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
BACKGROUND: The potential of lentiviral vectors for clinical gene therapy has not yet been evaluated. One of the reasons is the cytotoxicity of lentiviral packaging genes which makes the generation of stable producer cell lines difficult. Therefore, a novel packaging system for lentiviral vectors based on transient expression of packaging genes by recombinant adenoviruses was developed. METHODS: Adenoviral vectors expressing VSV-G, codon-optimized HIV-1 gag-pol, and codon-optimized SIV gag-pol under the control of a tetracycline-regulatable promoter (adenoviral lenti-pack vectors) were constructed and the production levels of this vector system were evaluated. RESULTS: The generated adenoviral lenti-pack vectors could be grown to high titers when transgene expression was suppressed and no evidence for instabilities was obtained. Cells stably transfected with a SIV-based vector construct were converted into lentiviral vector producer cells by infection with the adenoviral lenti-pack vectors. Lentiviral vector titers obtained were as high as vector titers obtained by transient cotransfection experiments. A protocol was developed that allowed preparation of lentiviral vector stocks with undetectable levels of contaminating adenoviral lenti-pack vectors. CONCLUSIONS: The adenoviral lenti-pack vectors described should provide a convenient alternative approach to inducible packaging cell lines for large-scale lentiviral vector production. Transient expression of cytotoxic lentiviral packaging genes by the adenoviral lenti-pack vectors circumvents loss of titers during prolonged culture of packaging cell lines. The design of the adenoviral lenti-pack vectors should reduce the risk of transfer of packaging genes to target cells and at the same time provide flexibility with respect to the lentiviral vector constructs that can be packaged. 相似文献

Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) provide new possibilities for regenerative therapies. In order for this potential to be achieved, it is critical to efficiently monitor the differentiation of these hiPSCs into specific lineages. Here, we describe a lentiviral reporter vector sensitive to specific microRNAs (miRNA) to show that a single vector bearing multiple miRNA target sequences conjugated to different reporters can be used to monitor hiPSC formation and subsequent differentiation from human fetal fibroblasts (HFFs). The reporter vector encodes EGFP conjugated to the targets of human embryonic stem cell (hESC) specific miRNAs (miR-302a and miR-302d) and mCherry conjugated to the targets of differentiated cells specific miRNAs (miR-142-3p, miR-155, and miR-223). The vector was used to track reprogramming of HFF to iPSC. HFFs co-transduced with this reporter vector and vectors encoding 4 reprogramming factors (OCT4, SOX2, KLF4 and cMYC) were mostly positive for EGFP (67%) at an early stage of hiPSC formation. EGFP expression gradually disappeared and mCherry expression increased indicating less miRNAs specific to differentiated cells and expression of miRNAs specific to hESCs. Upon differentiation of the hiPSC into embryoid bodies, a large fraction of these hiPSCs regained EGFP expression and some of those cells became single positive for EGFP. Further differentiation into neural lineages showed distinct structures demarcated by either EGFP or mCherry expression. These findings demonstrate that a miRNA dependent reporter vector can be a useful tool to monitor living cells during reprogramming of hiPSC and subsequent differentiation to lineage specific cells. 相似文献

Genetic modification of human adipose tissue–derived multilineage progenitor cells (hADMPCs) is highly valuable for their exploitation in therapeutic applications. Here, we have developed a novel single tet-off lentiviral vector platform. This vector combines (1) a modified tetracycline (tet)-response element composite promoter, (2) a multi-cistronic strategy to express an improved version of the tet-controlled transactivator and the blasticidin resistance gene under the control of a ubiquitous promoter, and (3) acceptor sites for easy recombination cloning of the gene of interest. In the present study, we used the cytomegalovirus (CMV) or the elongation factor 1 α (EF-1α) promoter as the ubiquitous promoter, and EGFP was introduced as the gene of interest. hADMPCs transduced with a lentiviral vector carrying either the CMV promoter or the EF-1α promoter were effectively selected by blasticidin without affecting their stem cell properties, and EGFP expression was strictly regulated by doxycycline (Dox) treatment in these cells. However, the single tet-off lentiviral vector carrying the EF-1α promoter provided more homogenous expression of EGFP in hADMPCs. Intriguingly, differentiated cells from these Dox-responsive cell lines constitutively expressed EGFP only in the absence of Dox. This single tet-off lentiviral vector thus provides an important tool for applied research on hADMPCs. 相似文献

MUC1 tumor antigen is a target for immunotherapy of most human adenocarcinomas and some hematological malignancies. Expression
of a MUC1-specific, MHC-unrestricted single-chain T cell receptor (scTCR) on cells of both innate and adaptive immune system
through reconstitution of lethally irradiated mice by retroviral vector-transduced bone marrow cells, had been shown to effectively
control the growth of MUC1+ tumors independent of their MHC type, suggesting that this receptor is a good candidate for broadly applicable gene therapy/immunotherapy.
However, the translational application of this immuno-gene therapy modality was discouraged by the progressive transgene silencing
in reconstituted T and B cells, as well as the potential of tumorogenesis intrinsic to oncoretroviral vectors. To overcome
these problems and facilitate the future clinical use of this receptor, we have constructed a panel of novel self-inactivating
lentiviral vectors (LVs) which harbor two independent internal promoters, one driving expression of the scTCR gene and the
other of a fusion suicide gene, the HSV-TK–EGFP fusion gene, allowing the transduced cells to be destroyable by the pro-drug
ganciclovir. Despite the large size of insert, these vectors were efficiently packaged into high titer virus that transferred
the expression of transgene in both T cell lines and primary T cells. Sustained expression was maintained in a T cell line
for over 4 months in vitro, suggesting its efficient resistance to transgene silencing. Both scTCR and HSV-TK–EGFP genes were
functional in the transduced cells, as evidenced by their specific recognition of MUC1+ tumors and efficient eradication by ganciclovir. 相似文献

Safe and efficient gene transfer systems are the basis of gene therapy applications. Non-integrating lentiviral (NIL) vectors are among the most promising candidates for gene transfer tools, because they exhibit high transfer efficiency in both dividing and non-dividing cells and do not present a risk of insertional mutagenesis. However, non-integrating lentiviral vectors cannot introduce stable exogenous gene expression to dividing cells, thereby limiting their application. Here, we report the design of a non-integrating lentiviral vector that contains the minimal scaffold/matrix attachment region (S/MAR) sequence (SNIL), and this SNIL vector is able to retain episomal transgene expression in dividing cells. Using SNIL vectors, we detected the expression of the eGFP gene for 61 days in SNIL-transduced stable CHO cells, either with selection or not. In the NIL group without the S/MAR sequence, however, the transduced cells died under selection for the transient expression of NIL vectors. Furthermore, Southern blot assays demonstrated that the SNIL vectors were retained extrachromosomally in the CHO cells. In conclusion, the minimal S/MAR sequence retained the non-integrating lentiviral vectors in dividing cells, which indicates that SNIL vectors have the potential for use as a gene transfer tool. 相似文献

Transgenic and knockout studies have advanced our understanding of the genetic control of embryonic development over the past decades. However, interpretation of the phenotype of mutant mice is potentially complicated, since the commonly used knockout approach modifies both the fetal and placental genome. To circumvent this problem, we previously developed a placenta‐specific gene manipulation system by lentiviral vector transduction of embryos at the blastocyst stage. In the present study, by combination with the Cre/LoxP system, we successfully demonstrate placenta‐specific gene activation and inactivation in EGFP reporter mice and Ets2 floxed mice, respectively. Transient expression using integrase‐defective lentiviral (IDLV) vectors diminished the toxic effect of Cre expression and solved the dilemma of mosaic recombination with lower concentrations and toxic effects with higher concentrations of Cre recombinase. We also show that placenta‐specific Ets2 disruption causes embryonic lethality and reconfirmed the critical role of Ets2 during placentation. This technology facilitates both gain and loss of gene function analyses in placental development during pregnancy. Since IDLV vectors can efficiently transduce a variety of cell types similarly to wild‐type vectors, our IDLV‐Cre strategy is potentially useful for a wide range of applications. genesis 47:793–798, 2009. © 2009 Wiley‐Liss, Inc. 相似文献

In this report, we have adapted a lentiviral gene delivery technique for genetic modification of the rat trophoblast cell lineage. Blastocysts were incubated with lentiviral particles and transferred into the uteri of pseudopregnant female rats, harvested at various times during gestation, and then analyzed. Two test systems were evaluated: (1) delivery of an enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) gene under the control of constitutive promoters to rat blastocysts; (2) delivery of EGFP short hairpin RNA (shRNA) to rat blastocysts constitutively expressing EGFP. Lentiviral packaged gene constructs were efficiently and specifically delivered to all trophoblast cell lineages. Additionally, lentiviral mediated transfer of shRNAs was an effective strategy for modifying gene expression in trophoblast cell lineages. This technique will permit the in vivo evaluation of “gain‐of‐function” and “loss‐of‐function” manipulations in the rat trophoblast cell lineage. genesis 47:433–439, 2009. © 2009 Wiley‐Liss, Inc. 相似文献
