Definitions
- the invention relates to the field of gene therapy and more in specific to lentiviral gene delivery vehicles and methods for efficient transduction of lentiviral gene delivery vehicles into hematopoietic stem cells and their descendants.
- the invention provides in one of its embodiments a method of gene transfer into e.g. pluripotent hematopoietic stem cells and their descendants, enabling successful transduction of cells, including transplantable cell populations comprising hematopoietic stem cells that give rise to progeny expressing the transduced gene(s).
- the invention further comprises a method for treating a variety of hereditary and acquired human disease by transfer of a therapeutically active gene into hematopoietic stem cells.
- the invention shows that symptoms associated with Pompe disease are (completely) reduced and/or alleviated by treatment of a subject suffering from Pompe disease with hematopoietic stem cell transduced with an alpha-glucosidase comprising lentiviral vector.
- HSC gamma retrovirus vector-mediated ex ⁇ i ⁇ o hematopoietic stem cell
- ADA-SCID X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency SCID and adenosine deaminase deficiency
- efficacy also revealed potential genotoxicity, essentially due to insertional transactivation of neighbouring genes by retroviral enhancer elements, resulting at a very low frequency in aberrant expression of neighboring genes and thereby in clonal dominance/leukemogenesis.
- Vector systems with a reduced risk profile are therefore essential in the further development of gene therapy for inherited diseases.
- HIV-I derived self- inactivating lentiviral vectors display a reduced risk pattern due to deletion of enhancer regions and a more favourable integration pattern as compared to gamma-retroviruses.
- MOI multiplicity of infection
- TU transducing units
- the aim of the current invention is to improve lentiviral vector transduction efficiency of HSC and preferably to limit the number of integrations per cell.
- VSV-G packaged LV expressing EGFP The inventors observed that retronectin and growth factor supported overnight transduction of lineage depleted (lin ⁇ ) mouse bone marrow cells (BMC) with low cell-density, but a high MOI of 30 yielded approximately 60% EGFP + cells.
- the transduction efficiency of lirr 7 - cells could be markedly improved from 7% to 54% by increasing the cell density from 2 x 10 4 /ml to 6 x 10 5 /ml with a proportional increase of TU/ml.
- Mouse lin '- BMCs transduced with LV at MOI 2 resulted in 98% EGFP + cells, with sustained reconstitution of up to 80% EGFP + blood cells after testing the gene-modified cells in a competitive repopulation assay in vivo.
- the inventors of the current invention show that an increase in cell density of target cells with a fixed ratio of transducing units (TU) per cell (or MOI) improved vector transduction efficiency of HSC.
- the invention provides a method for transducing hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) with a gene delivery vehicle of lentiviral origin comprising contacting an increased amount of hematopoietic stem cells with a relatively low amount of transducing units per cell of said gene delivery vehicle.
- this controlled transduction method results in the presence of essentially one therapeutic gene integration per target cell, which has been impossible with other lentiviral transduction methods.
- another desirable effect of the method according to the invention is that only limited amount of therapeutic gene vector batches need to be produced, thus saving considerable time in respect of quality control and production time.
- transduction refers to the stable transfer of genetic material from a viral particle to a hematopoietic stem cell genome.
- the hematopoietic system produces perpetually large numbers of blood cells, which have a limited life span and need to be constantly renewed throughout the life of a mammal. This renewal is maintained through proliferation and differentiation of a small number of hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow.
- the definition of stem cells is not always clear within the art.
- a functional definition is used, which defines hematopoietic stem cells as those cells capable of (long term) reconstitution of a hematopoietic system. This definition is often felt to include at least some early progenitor cells.
- hematopoietic stem cells are a highly suitable target for gene therapy for a variety of hereditary and acquired diseases within and outside the hematopoietic system.
- lentiviral mediated gene transfer has met with only limited success due to the difficulty of obtaining sufficient numbers of successfully transduced, transplantable, single-copy of therapeutic gene containing, long-term repopulating hematopoietic stem cells.
- HSC are stem cells and the early precursor cells which give rise to all the blood cell types that include both the myeloid (monocytes and macrophages, neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils, erythrocytes, megakaryocytes/platelets and some dendritic cells) and lymphoid lineages (T-cells, B-cells, NK-cells, some dendritic cells).
- myeloid monocytes and macrophages, neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils, erythrocytes, megakaryocytes/platelets and some dendritic cells
- T-cells, B-cells, NK-cells, some dendritic cells lymphoid lineages
- the definition of HSC has undergone considerable revision in the last two decades.
- the hematopoietic tissue have cells with long term and short term regeneration capacities and committed multipotent, oligopotent and unipotent progenitors.
- HSC can be obtained from different sources and are, for example, found in the bone marrow of adults, which includes femurs, hip, ribs, sternum, and other bones.
- Cells can be obtained directly by removal from the hip using a needle and syringe, or from the blood following pre-treatment with cytokines, such as G-CSF (granulocyte colony stimulating factor), that induces cells to be released from the bone marrow compartment into the blood (mobilized peripheral blood).
- cytokines such as G-CSF (granulocyte colony stimulating factor)
- Other sources for clinical and scientific use include umbilical cord blood, and placenta.
- fetal liver, fetal spleen and AGM (Aorta-gonad-mesonephros) of animals are also useful sources of HSCs.
- HSC are phenotypically identified by their small size, lack of lineage (lin) markers, low staining (side population) with vital dyes such, as rhodamine 123 (rhodamine DULL , also called rho 10 ) or Hoechst 33342, and presence of various antigenic markers on their surface many of which belongs to the cluster of differentiation series, such as: CD34, CD38, CD90, CD133, CD105, CD45 and also c-kit- the receptor for stem cell factor.
- The_hematopoietic stem cells are negative for the markers which are used for detection of lineage commitment and are thus called Lin-, and during their purification by FACS, a bunch of up to 13 to 14 different mature blood-lineage marker e.g.
- CD13 and CD33 for myeloid, CD71 for erythroid, CD 19 for B cells, CD61 for megakaryocyte etc for humans; and, B220 (murine CD45) for B cells, Mac-1 (CDllb/CD18) for monocytes, Gr-I for Granulocytes, Terll9 for erythroid cells, 117Ra, CD3, CD4, CD5, CD8 for T cells etc for mice) antibodies are used as a mixture to deplete the lin+ cells or late multipotent progenitors (MPP)s.
- MPP multipotent progenitors
- the VSV-g pseudotyped lentiviral vector described in the experimental part can in principle transduce all kinds of cell types because the VSV-g provides the lentiviral particles with a broad tropism.
- the invention provides a method for transducing hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) with a gene delivery vehicle of lentiviral origin comprising contacting an increased amount of hematopoietic stem cells with a relatively low amount of transducing units per cell of said gene delivery vehicle, wherein said HSC are murine, human or primate cells. More preferred said HSC are bone marrow cells, umbilical cord blood cells or mobilized peripheral blood stem cells. Even more preferred said HSC are CD34 positive (CD34 + ) cells or CD34 positive / CD38 dull cells.
- HSC hematopoietic stem cells
- Gene delivery vehicles of lentiviral origin are all vehicles comprising genetic material and/or proteinaceous material derived from lentiviruses.
- the most important features of such vehicles are the integration of their genetic material into the genome of a target cell and their capability to transduce stem cells. These elements are deemed essential in a functional manner, meaning that the sequences need not be identical to lentiviral sequences as long as the essential functions are present.
- the methods of the invention are however especially suitable for recombinant lentiviral particles, which have most if not all of the replication and reproduction features of a lentivirus, typically in combination with a producer cell having some complementing elements. Normally the lentiviral particles making up the gene delivery vehicle are replication defective on their own.

- hematopoietic stem cells typically use a target cell concentration of for example IxIO 5 to 4xlO 5 in combination with a relatively high multiplicity of infection (i.e., around 20 to 100).
- a target cell concentration of for example IxIO 5 to 4xlO 5 in combination with a relatively high multiplicity of infection (i.e., around 20 to 100).
- Another published used ratio of target cell concentration versus MOI is 5-2OxIO 4 cells versus a MOI of 100.
- the invention provides a method for transducing hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) with a gene delivery vehicle of lentiviral origin comprising contacting an increased amount of hematopoietic stem cells with a relatively low amount of transducing units per cell of said gene delivery vehicle, wherein said amount of HSC is at least 6xlO 5 /mL.
- HSC hematopoietic stem cells
- This concentration of cells is especially useful for human and murine cells.
- transduction percentages comparable to the mentioned human and murine percentage were obtained by using a cell density of 2.5 ⁇ lO 6 cells/mL. It is clear for the skilled person that a suitable target cell density depends on the kind of host used as a source, for example human, murine or primate.
- the terms “amount of HSC” or “number of HSC” or “concentration of HSC” or “density of HSC” are used herein interchangeably.

- compositions obtainable by the methods of the invention.
- compositions comprising HSC transduced with a gene delivery vehicle of lentiviral origin.
- the invention further provides a composition comprising lentiviral particles wherein said composition has a relatively low amount of transducing units per amount of target cell.
- said lentiviral particles are gene delivery vehicles and capable of transducing HSC and/or progenitor cells. Even more preferably said lentiviral particles are capable of transducing bone marrow cells, umbilical cord blood cells or mobilized peripheral blood stem cells.
- multiplicity of infection or concentration of transducing units (TU) are used interchangeable herein and refers to the number of viruses or virus particles that infect a single cell on average.
- the invention provides a composition comprising lentiviral particles wherein said composition has a relatively low amount of transducing units per amount of target cell, wherein said relatively low amount of transducing units per cell is 1-10.

- the invention also provides the pharmaceutical use of the described compositions, particularly in the treatment of diseases having a genetic component, such as the various genetic hemoglobin orders, the large group of rare diseases collectively known as severe combined immune deficiencies, the group of lysosomal storage diseases, especially with a strong hematopoietic and/or visceral expression, such as Gaucher' s disease, but also possibly Hurler's or Pompe's diseases, as well as in the treatment of infectious disease, notably HIV infection, or cancer.
- a composition comprising lentiviral particles involves the transduction of HSC such as bone marrow cells, umbilical cord blood cells or mobilized peripheral blood stem cells (for example CD34 positive target cells).
- Such transduced cells are typically made ex vivo and are also part of the present invention.
- the invention provides a composition for the treatment of a hereditary disease or a pathological condition related to a genetic defect or a genetic aberration, comprising a plurality of, for example, CD34 positive cells transduced with a composition of lentiviral particles according to the invention, or a composition for the treatment of a hereditary disease or a pathological condition related to a genetic defect or a genetic aberration, comprising a plurality of, for example, CD34 positive cells, said composition being obtainable by a method according to the invention.
- the invention provides the use of a composition as described above in the preparation of a medicament for the treatment of a hereditary disease or pathological condition related to a genetic defect or a genetic aberration.
- Such a use is particularly useful in the treatment of diseases having a genetic component, such as the various genetic hemoglobin orders, the large group of rare diseases collectively known as severe combined immune deficiencies, the group of lysosomal storage diseases, especially with a strong hematopoietic and/or visceral expression, such as Gaucher's disease, but also possibly Hurler's or Pompe's diseases, as well as in the treatment of infectious disease, notably HIV infection, or cancer.
- a composition comprising retroviral particles involves the transduction of, for example, CD34 positive target cells. Such transduced cells are typically made ex vivo and are also part of the present invention.
- gene therapy is within reach for a variety of monogenic inherited rare diseases, clinical implementation requiring selection of diseases in which (1) the genetic defect is identified, (2) the diagnosis is made sufficiently early for meaningful therapeutic intervention, (3) a specific animal model is available for efficacy and safety evaluation, (4) strict regulation of transgene product levels is not required, (5) the transgene produces levels sufficient for sustained alleviation of symptoms or cure, (6) adverse immune responses to the transgene product are either not expected or do not interfere with efficacy. Lysosomal storage diseases, a group of over 50 different enzyme deficiencies, meet these requirements. The deficiencies result in intracellular deposition of storage material and loss of cell function. Clinical features display a broad spectrum of severity reflecting the extent of the enzyme deficiency.
- allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation is an effective treatment, even in diseases with brain involvement.
- alloSCT requires intensive conditioning, an HLA identical donor, is dependent on endogenous enzyme levels of the hematopoietic system which may be insufficient, carries immunological risks with undue morbidity and mortality, and is applicable only to selected patients and diseases.
- the alternative enzyme replacement (ERT) therapy is currently or shortly available for some ten of the lysosomal enzyme deficiencies, however, requires life-long administration, does not provide cure, is not effective in all patients, does not pass the blood brain barrier, and is extremely expensive.
- the invention therefore provides the use of a composition as described above in the preparation of a medicament for the treatment of a lysosomal storage disease or a pathological condition related to a lysosomal storage disease.
- said lysosomal storage disease is Pompe disease, i.e. in a preferred embodiment, the invention provides the use of a composition as described above in the preparation of a medicament for the treatment of Pompe disease.
- a typical pathological condition associated with Pompe disease is an increased storage of glycogen, which causes progressive muscle weakness throughout the body. As a result thereof-cardiac as well as respiratory complications arise.
- kits preferably a closed clinical grade device, which comprises means to purify and then transduce target cells (hematopoietic stem / progenitor cells).
- the invention further comprises a kit comprising means to isolate and/or purify hematopoietic stem cells and a therapeutic gene delivery vehicle.
- the other component of the described kit is a gene delivery vehicle that comprises a therapeutically interesting gene.
- said gene delivery vehicle is of lentiviral origin.
- the most important features of such vehicles are the integration of their genetic material into the genome of a target cell and their capability to transduce stem cells. These elements are deemed essential in a functional manner, meaning that the sequences need not be identical to lentiviral sequences as long as the essential functions are present.
- the methods of the invention are however especially suitable for recombinant lentiviral particles, which have most if not all of the replication and reproduction features of a lentivirus, typically in combination with a producer cell having some complementing elements. Normally the lentiviral particles making up the gene delivery vehicle are replication defective on their own.
- a gene delivery vehicle is intended to read on any vehicle capable of delivering genetic material to a target cell, whether the genetic material is actually a gene, an antisense molecule or a cosuppressive nucleic acid (encoding molecule), etc.
- Useful nucleic acids to be provided to target cells e.g.
- stem cells are well known in the art and include such molecules as to replace inborn errors/deficiencies of the hematopoietic system, which may include hemoglobin genes and their regulatory elements for the thalassemia's and sickle cell anemia's and sequences to repair the various forms of severe combined immunodeficiency, such as caused by adenosine deaminase deficiency and that known as severe X linked immunodeficiency, or genes encoding enzymes for diseases known as lysosomal storage diseases, such as.
- Hurler's, Hunter's, Krabbe's and in particular Gaucher's disease and metachromatic-leukodystrophy or by introducing sequences that confer resistance of the progeny of hematopoietic stem cells to infectious agents, such as HIV, as well as the introduction of suicide genes for cancer therapy and marker genes to track the progeny of transplanted normal and/or malignant hematopoietic stem cells.
- the invention comprises a kit comprising means to isolate and/or purify hematopoietic stem cells and a therapeutic gene delivery vehicle, further comprising instructions to transduce an increased amount of hematopoietic stem cells with a relatively low amount of transducing units per cell of said gene delivery vehicle.
- the instructions can provide guidelines in respect of suggested reaction/transduction/culture conditions such as temperature, medium and incubation time.
- the currently used lentiviral transduction systems are based on essentially random integration of the to be transferred nucleic acid sequences into the genomic sequence of the target cells (hematopoietic stem / progenitor cells).
- the transduction method of the invention is not limited to this, because the method of the invention can equally well be performed in a transduction method in which the transferred nucleic acid sequence is incorporated into the genome of the target cell via homologous recombination processes.
- Gene addition involves the delivery of corrective DNA (usually composed of the entire coding region of a gene and appropriate regulatory sequences) that compensates for or overrides the defective gene.
- the defective gene unless it is completely absent, remains in the affected cells.
- genome editing uses DNA repair and/or homologous recombination processes to correct an existing defective gene sequence so that the defective or mutated area of the gene is restored to a corrected normal state. Repairing the defective sequence itself maintains the corrected genetic material within its normal chromatin environment, ensuring appropriate genetic regulation and expression in the cell.
- Genome editing may be the only suitable strategy in situations in which mutant gene product exercises a dominant negative influence over the normal gene product.
- the invention provides a method for transducing hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) with a gene delivery vehicle of lentiviral origin comprising contacting an increased amount of hematopoietic stem cells with a relatively low amount of transducing units per cell of said gene delivery vehicle, wherein said gene delivery vehicle is provided with means for homologous recombination.
- HSC hematopoietic stem cells
- means for homologous recombination are nucleic acid sequences encoding (at least part of) a gene involved in a hereditary disease, such as X-linked SCID, sickle cell anemia, and lysosomal enzyme deficiencies.
- the underlying mutation(s) in such hereditary disease is/are known or can easily be determined on a case-by-case basis.
- Editing of the human genome in vi ⁇ o is somewhat hindered by the low frequency of homologous recombination. This can be circumvented by using specially engineered 'zinc-finger' nucleases as molecular scissors to cut DNA inside cells at a specific sequence. The DNA break is then patched using new genetic information. The efficiency of this process combined with the ability to design zinc-finger nucleases that target almost any DNA sequence mean that genome editing in human cells is likely to become- an important research tool and potentially a powerful way of treating disease.
