Definitions
- the invention relates to the provision of rep-negative AAV mutants and cells which can be used therefor.
- the invention further relates to an expression plasmid which can be used to produce the cells.
- Adeno-associated viruses are single-stranded DNA viruses belonging to the parvovirus family. For their replication, AAVs need helper viruses, in particular adenoviruses or herpes viruses. In the absence of helper viruses, AAVs integrate into the host cell genome, particularly at a specific location on chromosome 19 or 17.
- the 145 bp "inverted repeats" serve as the origin of replication and as ice signals for integration and packaging.
- the cap gene codes for three structural proteins and the rep gene for a family of multifunctional regulator proteins.
- the mRNAs for Rep 78 and its C-terminal spliced version Rep 68 start at the p5 promoter.
- Two N-terminally shortened versions of Rep 78 and Rep 68, namely Rep 52 and Rep 40, are expressed under the control of the p19 promoter.
- Rep proteins are necessary for AAV DNA replication. They are also required for AAV gene regulation.
- AAVs suppress tumor development in animals. Furthermore, they suppress the cell transformation caused by oncogenes as well as the induced DNA amplification. Furthermore, AAVs have an antiproliferative activity. AAV Rep proteins are held responsible for the above activities. However, these activities are not assigned to the individual Rep proteins or domains thereof. This would be necessary in order to use AAVs therapeutically. One way to achieve this assignment is to examine AAVs that have mutations in the Rep proteins. Many attempts have been made in this regard. So far, however, it has not been possible to provide rep-negative AAV mutants which are free from wild-type AAV. However, such are indispensable for the above investigations.
- the present invention is therefore based on the object of providing a means by which rep-negative AAV mutants can be obtained without the above disadvantages.
- the invention thus relates to cells which stably express the AAV Rep proteins 78 and 52 and 40 and / or 68. Cells which express Rep proteins 78, 52 and 40 are preferred.
- Cells according to the invention can be produced in the usual way.
- Cells of the known HeM1 line are advantageously used as starting material (cf. "5th Parvovirus Workshop", Chrystal River, Florida, USA, Nov. 10-14, 1993). These cells express the AAV Rep proteins 78 and 52, the Rep 78 expression being under the control of dexamethasone-inducible MMTV-LTR.
- HeM1 cells are transfected with an expression plasmid coding for Rep 40 and / or an expression plasmid coding for Rep 68 or an expression plasmid which codes for both Rep proteins.
- An expression plasmid for Rep 40 is preferably used, the expression plasmid.
- pCMRep 40 is very particularly preferred.
- the cells obtained by transfection of pCMRep 40 stably express the AAV-Rep proteins Rep 78, Rep 52 and Rep 40. These cells were identified as cell line He 10-1, He 22-2 and He 5-5 in the DSM under DSM ACC2193 , DSM ACC2192 and DSM ACC2191 on September 28, 1994. Furthermore, the cells were deposited as cell line HeCMI g at DSM under DSM ACC2185 on August 30, 1994. The above cells are also an object of the invention.
- Another object of the invention is a method for providing rep-negative AAV mutants.
- Such a process comprises the following process steps:
- process step (a) involves cotransfection with an expression plasmid coding for a glucocorticoid receptor.
- an expression plasmid coding for a glucocorticoid receptor Such is known to the person skilled in the art. For example, he knows the expression plasmid HGO (cf. Kumar, V., et al., Cell 51 (1987), 941-951).
- method step (a) implies the infection of cells according to the invention with a rep-negative AAV mutant.
- the expression "DNA of a rep-negative AAV mutant” encompasses an AAV genome, optionally present in a vector, which has mutations in the rep gene. Such mutations can in particular be deletions, insertions and / or substitutions of one or more nucleotides.
- the AAV DNA can also have a deletion of the entire region coding for Rep.
- the DNA encoding Rep can be partially or completely replaced by a DNA encoding a foreign protein (peptide) or by a DNA encoding an "antisense” RNA.
- the foreign protein (peptide) or the “antisense” RNA is preferably suitable for gene therapy measures.
- the expression "rep-negative AAV mutant” therefore also implies the term "rep-negative AAV vector”.
- DNA of a rep-negative AAV mutant also includes a DNA which, in addition to the mutations indicated above, has further mutations in other areas of AAV DNA.
- This can e.g. Mutations in the cap gene.
- an expressible AAV-cap gene is present in the cells according to the invention. This can be done by the means enabling AAV replication, e.g. the AAV helper virus. Methods are known to those skilled in the art, an AAV-cap gene, e.g. to insert into an AAV helper virus.
- AAV helper virus includes viruses that allow AAVs to replicate. These are in particular adenoviruses, such as adenovirus-2, and herpes viruses.
- Rep-negative AAV mutants are free from wild-type AAV, since recombination events, such as those that occur in cells with transient expression of Rep proteins, are avoided.
- the present invention thus represents the basis for restricting the activities attributed to the Rep proteins to individual Rep proteins or domains thereof. This enables the mechanism of action of AAV as a tumor suppressive principle to be investigated in detail, which is essential for the use of AAV in tumor therapy.
- the Framework of gene therapy can be used as viral vectors.
- Rep-negative AAV mutants according to the invention can carry genes or gene segments that can be used for this purpose. These can lie in particular in the rep gene and / or cap gene. The present invention thus represents a breakthrough in the field of the production of vectors which can be used for gene therapies.
- FIG. 1 shows a schematic representation of the Rep-coding DNA in the expression plasmid pCMRep40.
- the start ATG triplet and the termination codon TGA are given, they correspond to those of the wild-type AAV genome.
- the intron (position: 1907-2227) is removed by directed mutagenesis, so that Rep 40 can be expressed without splicing.
- He 10-1 cells are transfected with the DNA of the known AAV Rep mutant pTAV 2-3.
- pTAV2-3 has a "frame shift" mutation at position 1045, whereby all four Rep proteins are inactivated (cf. Heilbronn, R., et al., J. Virol. 64 (1990), 3012-3018).
- the cells are harvested and the total cell DNA is isolated. This is cleaved with the restriction enzymes Xbal or Dpnl and analyzed in a Southern blot.
- 32P P-labeled AAV-DNA is used as a hybridization sample.
- the restriction enzyme Xbal does not cut AAV DNA, nor does the restriction enzyme Dpnl cleave any DNA replicated in eukaryotes. Replicated pTAV2-3 DNA is obtained.
- the supernatant of the cells not harvested is alternately frozen and thawed and subjected to an ultrasound treatment. The supernatant is titrated on He10-1 cells.
- the detection of infectious AAVs is followed by hybridization with a 3 P-labeled probe which is specific for rep-negative AAVs. Infectious rep-negative AAV particles are detected.
- HeCMI g cells are co-transfected with the above AAV-Rep mutant pTAV 2-3 and the expression plasmid HGO.
- the cells are incubated until the adenovirus-induced cytopathic effect (approx. 48 h) and then harvested by freeze-thaw lysis and ultrasound treatment in a hypotonic buffer. The cell fragments are centrifuged off, the AAV particles are in the supernatant. These also show up as infectious.
