We have constructed and characterized a Rous sarcoma virus-based retroviral vector with the host range of the amphotropic murine leukemia virus (MLV). The chimeric retroviral genome was created by replacing the env coding region in the replication-competent retroviral vector RCASBP(A) with the env region from an amphotropic MLV. The recombinant vector RCASBP-M(4070A) forms particles containing MLV Env glycoproteins. The vector replicates efficiently in chicken embryo fibroblasts and is able to transfer genes into mammalian cells. Vector stocks with titers exceeding 10(6) CFU/ml on mammalian cells can be easily prepared by passaging transfected chicken embryo fibroblasts. Since the vector is inherently defective in mammalian cells, it appears to have the safety features required for gene therapy. 相似文献

Two chimeric helper proviruses were derived from the provirus of the ecotropic Moloney murine leukemia virus by replacing the 5'long terminal repeat and adjacent proviral sequences with the mouse metallothionein I promoter. One of these chimeric proviruses was designed to express the gag-pol genes of the virus, whereas the other was designed to express only the env gene. When transfected into NIH 3T3 cells, these helper proviruses failed to generate competent virus but did express Zn2+-inducible trans-acting viral functions needed to assemble infectious vectors. One helper cell line (clone 32) supported vector assembly at levels comparable to those supported by the Psi-2 and PA317 cell lines transfected with the same vector. Defective proviruses which carry the neomycin phosphotransferase gene and which lack overlapping sequence homology with the 5' end of the chimeric helper proviruses could be transfected into the helper cell line without generation of replication-competent virus. Mass cultures of transfected helper cells produced titers of about 10(4) G418r CFU/ml, whereas individual clones produced titers between 0 and 2.6 X 10(4) CFU/ml. In contrast, defective proviruses which share homologous overlapping viral sequences with the 5' end of the chimeric helper proviruses readily generated infectious virus when transfected into the helper cell line. The deletion of multiple cis-acting functions from the helper provirus and elimination of sequence homology overlapping at the 5' ends of helper and vector proviruses both contribute to the increased genetic stability of this system. 相似文献

We have constructed hybrid retrovirus packaging cell lines that express the gibbon ape leukemia virus env and the Moloney murine leukemia virus gag-pol proteins. These cells were used to produce a retrovirus vector at over 10(6) CFU/ml, with a host range that included rat, hamster, bovine, cat, dog, monkey, and human cells. The gag-pol and env expression plasmids were separately transfected to reduce the potential for helper virus production, which was not observed. The NIH 3T3 mouse cells from which the packaging lines were made are not infectable by gibbon ape leukemia virus; thus, the generation and spread of possible recombinant viruses in the packaging cells is greatly reduced. These simian virus-based packaging cells extend the host range of currently available murine and avian packaging cells and should be useful for efficient gene transfer into higher mammals. 相似文献

We describe the derivation of a novel T-cell-defective virus vector employing the human herpesvirus 7 (HHV-7). The new vector, designated Tamplicon-7, replicates in CD4(+) T cells. The system is composed of a helper virus and defective virus genomes derived by the replication of the input Tamplicon vector. There are two cis-acting functions required for the replication and packaging of the defective virus genomes in the presence of the helper virus: the viral DNA replication origin and the composite cleavage and packaging signal, which directs the cleavage and packaging of defective virus genomes. Viral DNA replication is compatible with the rolling circle mechanism, producing large head-to-tail concatemers of the Tamplicon vector. Thus, in the presence of the helper virus, the replicated vectors are packaged and secreted into the medium. Furthermore, we have shown that the vector can be employed to express a foreign gene, encoding the green fluorescent protein, in the T cells infected with the HHV-7 helper virus. We predict that the Tamplicon-7 vector might be potentially useful for gene therapy of diseases affecting the human CD4(+) T cells, including autoimmune diseases, T-cell lymphomas, and AIDS. 相似文献

The baculovirus Autographa californica multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcMNPV) can infect a variety of mammalian cells, as well as insect cells, facilitating its use as a viral vector for gene delivery into mammalian cells. Glycoprotein gp64, a major component of the budded AcMNPV envelope, is involved in viral entry into cells by receptor-mediated endocytosis and subsequent membrane fusion. We examined the potential production of pseudotype baculovirus particles transiently carrying ligands of interest in place of gp64 as a method of ligand-directed gene delivery into target cells. During amplification of a gp64-null pseudotype baculovirus carrying a green fluorescent protein gene in gp64-expressing insect cells, however, we observed the high-frequency appearance of a replication-competent virus incorporating the gp64 gene into the viral genome. To avoid generation of replication-competent revertants, we prepared pseudotype baculoviruses by transfection with recombinant bacmids without further amplification in the gp64-expressing cells. We constructed gp64-null recombinant bacmids carrying cDNAs encoding either vesicular stomatitis virus G protein (VSVG) or measles virus receptors (CD46 or SLAM). The VSVG pseudotype baculovirus efficiently transduced a reporter gene into a variety of mammalian cell lines, while CD46 and SLAM pseudotype baculoviruses allowed ligand-receptor-directed reporter gene transduction into target cells expressing measles virus envelope glycoproteins. Gene transduction mediated by the pseudotype baculoviruses could be inhibited by pretreatment with specific antibodies. These results indicate the possible application of pseudotype baculoviruses in ligand-directed gene delivery into target cells. 相似文献

Viral vectors have emerged as an important tool for manipulating gene expression in the adult mammalian brain. The adult brain is composed largely of nondividing cells, and therefore DNA viruses have become the vehicle of choice for neurobiologists interested in somatic gene transfer. Recombinant viral vectors based upon adenovirus or herpes simplex virus have been created in which a gene essential for viral replication is removed and a gene of interest is inserted in the viral genome. While this eliminates pathogenicity due to viral replication, retention of viral genes and continued expression of these genes may limit the potential of the current generation of vectors. Defective viral vectors represent a different approach, in which only viral recognition signals are used to allow packaging of foreign DNA into a viral coat while eliminating the possibility of viral gene expression within target cells. The defective HSV vector has been used to transfer genes into the adult rat brain. This vector has also been used for analysis of the preproenkephalin promoterin vivo,and important regions of this promoter have been identified using this technique. A modification ofin situPCR has been developed as an adjunctive tool for sensitively documenting the presence of vector DNA within target cells duringin vivopromoter studies. Finally, the adenoassociated virus vector has been used as the first fully defective DNA viral vector, which also eliminates any contamination by helper viruses. This vector can transfer genes into the mammalian brain and has shown significant behavioral recovery in a rodent model of Parkinson's disease. Future work will undoubtedly result in still more diverse and improved vectors; however, these studies have documented the importance of viral vectors to both basic neurobiology and the potential treatment of neurologic disease. 相似文献

Redesign of retrovirus packaging cell lines to avoid recombination leading to helper virus production. 总被引:237,自引:25,他引:212
Retrovirus vectors can be made in the absence of helper virus by using retrovirus packaging cell lines. Helper-free virus is critical for a variety of gene transfer studies. The most useful packaging cell lines contain helper virus DNA from which the signal required for packaging of the viral RNA genome into virions has been deleted. However, we showed that the ability to package virus is conferred at very low frequency to cells infected with virus from these packaging cell lines, presumably by low-frequency transmission of the deleted virus genome. In addition, these packaging cell lines can interact with some retroviral vectors to yield replication-competent virus. We constructed packaging cell lines containing helper virus DNA that had several alterations in addition to deletion of the packaging signal. The new packaging cells retained the useful features of previously available lines but did not yield helper virus after introduction of any of the vectors tested, and transfer of the packaging function was not detected. 相似文献

We have designed and characterized two new replication-competent avian sarcoma/leukosis virus-based retroviral vectors with amphotropic and ecotropic host ranges. The amphotropic vector RCASBP-M2C(797-8), was obtained by passaging the chimeric retroviral vector RCASBP-M2C(4070A) (6) in chicken embryos. The ecotropic vector, RCASBP(Eco), was created by replacing the env-coding region in the retroviral vector RCASBP(A) with the env region from an ecotropic murine leukemia virus. It replicates efficiently in avian DFJ8 cells that express murine ecotropic receptor. For both vectors, permanent cell lines that produce viral stocks with titers of about 5 x 10(6) CFU/ml on mammalian cells can be easily established by passaging transfected avian cells. Some chimeric viruses, for example, RCASBP(Eco), replicate efficiently without modifications. For those chimeric viruses that do require modification, adaptation by passage in vitro or in vivo is a general strategy. This strategy has been used to prepare vectors with altered host range and could potentially be used to develop vectors that would be useful for targeted gene delivery. 相似文献

Twelve linker insertion mutations have been constructed in the 3' part of the pol gene of Moloney murine leukemia virus. This region of the Moloney murine leukemia virus genome encodes IN or p46pol, which is required for integration of the retroviral DNA into the host cell chromosome. Viral proteins synthesized by these mutants were used to pseudotype a neo-containing retroviral vector. Ten of twelve linker insertion mutant pseudotypes were unable to generate stable proviruses in infected mouse cells, as measured by the formation of G418-resistant colonies. Two mutants mapping at the 3' terminus of the IN-encoding region were competent for the formation of stable vector proviruses (hundreds of G418-resistant colonies per mutant pseudotype-infected plate). Representative linker insertion mutants were also tested for the ability to synthesize viral unintegrated DNA in newly infected cells. All assayed mutants were capable of synthesizing all normal forms of viral unintegrated DNA. The structure of integrated vector proviruses generated by defective and nondefective linker insertion mutants was also analyzed. All replication-competent mutants generated normal proviruses, while the few obtainable proviruses generated by replication-defective mutants were sometimes aberrant in structure. These results argue strongly (and confirm previous data) that the IN-encoding region of pol does not play a significant role in DNA synthesis, but is absolutely required for the formation of normal proviral DNA. 相似文献

The genome structure of defective, oncogenic avian reticuloendotheliosis virus (REV) was studied by heteroduplex mapping between the full-length complementary DNA of the helper virus REV-T1 and the 30S REV RNA. The REV genome (5.5 kilobases) had a deletion of 3.69 kilobases in the gag-pol region, confirming the genetic defectiveness of REV. In addition, REV lacked the sequences corresponding to the env gene but contained, instead, a contiguous stretch (1.6 to 1.9 kilobases) of the specific sequences presumably related to viral oncogenicity. Unlike those of other avian acute leukemia viruses, the transformation-specific sequences of REV were not contiguous with the gag-pol deletion. Thus, REV has a genome structure similar to that of a defective mink cell focus-inducing virus or a defective murine sarcoma virus. An additional class of heteroduplex molecules containing the gag-pol deletion and two other smaller deletion loops was observed. These molecules probably represented recombinants between the oncogenic REV and its helper virus. 相似文献

We have constructed and evaluated the utility of a helper-dependent virus vector system that is derived from Human Cytomegalovirus (HCMV). This vector is based on the herpes simplex virus (HSV) amplicon system and contains the HCMV orthologs of the two cis-acting functions required for replication and packaging of HSV genomes, the complex HCMV viral DNA replication origin (oriLyt), and the cleavage packaging signal (the a sequence). The HCMV amplicon vector replicated independently and was packaged into infectious virions in the presence of helper virus. This vector is capable of delivering and expressing foreign genes in infected cells including progenitor cells such as human CD34+ cells. Packaged defective viral genomes were passaged serially in fibroblasts and could be detected at passage 3; however, the copy number appeared to diminish upon serial passage. The HCMV amplicon offers an alternative vector strategy useful for gene(s) delivery to cells of the hematopoietic lineage. 相似文献

We constructed a recombinant human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) vector to facilitate studies of virus infectivity. A drug resistance gene was inserted into a gp160- HIV proviral genome such that it could be packaged into HIV virions. The HIV genome was rendered replication defective by deletion of sequences encoding gp160 and insertion of a gpt gene with a simian virus 40 promoter at the deletion site. Cotransfection of the envelope-deficient genome with a gp160 expression vector resulted in packaging of the defective HIV-gpt genome into infectious virions. The drug resistance gene was transmitted and expressed upon infection of susceptible cells, enabling their selection in mycophenolic acid. This system provides a quantitative measure of HIV infection, since each successful infection event leads to the growth of a drug-resistant colony. The HIV-gpt virus produced was tropic for CD4+ human cells and was blocked by soluble CD4. In the absence of gp160, noninfectious HIV particles were efficiently produced by cells transfected with the HIV-gpt genome. These particles packaged HIV genomic RNA and migrated to the same density as gp160-containing virions in a sucrose gradient. This demonstrates that HIV virion formation is not dependent on the presence of a viral envelope glycoprotein. Expression of a murine leukemia virus amphotropic envelope gene in cells transfected with HIV-gpt resulted in the production of virus capable of infecting both human and murine cells. These results indicate that HIV can incorporate envelope glycoproteins other than gp160 onto particles and that this can lead to altered host range. Like HIV type 1 and vesicular stomatitis virus(HIV) pseudotypes, gp-160+ HIV-gpt did not infect murine NIH 3T3 cells that bear human CD4, confirming that these cells are blocked at an early stage of HIV infection. 相似文献

We showed previously that retrovirus vector particles can encapsidate RNAs without retroviral cis-acting sequences, that such RNAs are reverse transcribed in infected target cells, and that the cDNA copies are inserted into the host genome resulting in cDNA genes (R. Dornburg and H. M. Temin, Mol. Cell. Biol. 8:2328-2334, 1988). To provide further evidence that this retrovirus-mediated gene transfer occurred through an RNA intermediate, we constructed retroviral vectors containing an intron from a cellular gene. This intron was lost in a cDNA gene formed after infection with retroviral particles, establishing that an RNA intermediate had existed. Retroviral vectors with additional encapsidation sequences were constructed. The presence of a murine leukemia virus encapsidation sequence in an mRNA transcribed from the hygromycin B phosphotransferase gene increased the efficiency of encapsidation into spleen necrosis virus vector particles and the formation of cDNA genes by approximately 2 orders of magnitude. 相似文献

We report the development of an advanced system for transfer and expression of exogenous genes in mammalian cells based on Moloney murine leukemia virus (Mo MuLV). Extensive deletion/mutagenesis analysis to identify cis-acting signals involved in virus transmission has led to the design of a family of novel, highly efficient retroviral vectors and a partner helper-free packaging cell line. The pBabe retroviral vector constructs transmit inserted genes at high titres and express them from the Mo MuLV Long Terminal Repeat (LTR). Each of these vectors has been constructed with one of four different dominantly acting selectable markers, allowing the growth of infected mammalian cells in the presence of G418, hygromycin B, bleomycin/phleomycin or puromycin, respectively. The high titre ecotropic helper free packaging cell line, omega E, was designed in conjunction with the pBabe vectors to reduce the risk of generation of wild type Mo MuLV via homologous recombination events. The omega E cell line was generated with separate gagpol and ecotropic env expression constructs with minimal sequence overlap and decreased sequence homology achieved by 'codon wobbling'. Homologous env coding sequences were deleted from the pBabe vectors without diminishing recombinant vector titre. Together, the pBabe vectors and omega E cell line should prove useful in experiments where highest frequencies of gene transfer, or concomitant expression of several different genes within a single cell are required with minimal risk of helper virus contamination. 相似文献

A mutant of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 which carries a frameshift insertion in the integrase/endonuclease region of pol gene was constructed in vitro. Upon transfection into cells, although this mutant exhibited a normal phenotype with respect to expression of gag, pol, and env genes and to generation of progeny virions, no replication-competent virus in CD4-positive cells emerged. An assay for the single-step replication of a defective viral genome dependent on trans complementation by rev protein was established and used to monitor the early phase of viral infection process. Viral clones with a mutation in the vif, vpr, or vpu gene displayed no abnormality in the early phase. In contrast, the integrase mutant did not direct a marker gene expression after infection. Together with an observation that the mutant lacked the ability to integrate, these results indicated that the integration was required for efficient viral gene expression and productive infection of human immunodeficiency virus type 1. 相似文献

Reticuloendotheliosis virus is an avian type C retrovirus that is capable of transforming fibroblasts and hematopoietic cells both in vivo and in vitro. This virus is highly related to the three other members of the reticuloendotheliosis virus group, including spleen necrosis virus, but it is apparently unrelated to the avian leukosis-sarcoma virus family. Previous studies have shown that it consists of a replication-competent helper virus (designated REV-A) and a defective component (designated REV) that is responsible for transformation. In this study we used restriction endonuclease mapping and heteroduplex analysis to characterize the proviral DNAs of REV-A and REV. Both producer and nonproducer transformed chicken spleen cells were used as sources of REV proviral DNA; this genome was mapped in detail, and fragments of it were cloned in lambdagtWES.lambdaB. The infected canine thymus line Cf2Th(REV-A) was used as a source of REV-A proviral DNA. The restriction maps and heteroduplexes of the REV and REV-A genomes showed that (proceeding from 5' to 3') (i) REV contains a large fraction of the REV-A gag gene (assuming a gene order of gag-pol-env and gene sizes similar to those of other type C viruses), for the two genomes are very similar over a distance of 2.1 kilobases beginning at their 5' termini; (ii) most or all of REV-A pol is deleted in REV; (iii) REV contains a 1.1 kilobase segment derived from the 3' end of REV-A pol or the 5' end of env or both; (iv) this env region in REV is followed by a 1.9-kilobase segment which is unrelated to REV-A; and (v) the helper-unrelated segment of REV extends essentially all of the way to the beginning of the 3' long terminal repeat. Therefore, like avian myeloblastosis virus but unlike the other avian acute leukemia viruses and most mammalian and avian sarcoma viruses, REV appears to be an env gene recombinant. We also found that the REV-specific segment is derived from avian DNA, for a cloned REV fragment was able to hybridize with the DNA from an uninfected chicken. Therefore, like the other acute transforming viruses, REV appears to be the product of recombination between a replication-competent virus and host DNA. Two other defective genomes in virus-producing chicken cells were also cloned and characterized. One was very similar to REV in its presumptive gag and env segments, but instead of a host-derived insertion it contained additional env sequences. The second was similar (but not identical) to the first in its gag and env regions and appeared to contain an additional 1-kilobase inversion of REV-A sequences. 相似文献
