Definitions
- This invention relates to adenoviral vectors. More particularly, this invention relates to adenoviral vectors which include DNA encoding a lung surfactant protein and to the use of such vectors in treating disease states associated with lung surfactant protein deficiency, such as infant respiratory distress syndrome, and adult respiratory distress syndrome.
- Surfactant proteins are natural endogenous proteins produced primarily within the alveolar and airway epithelial cells of the normal lung and interact with phospholipids to maintain the patency of the alveolar structures.
- pulmonary surfactant protein concentration on the alveolar surface falls below critical levels, surface tension of the liquid-gas interface increases, thereby leading to alveolar collapse, pulmonary ventilation-perfusion mismatch, and hypoxia. In severe cases, this can lead to death.
- Intermittent administration of exogenous bovine lung surfactant protein has shown partial, but not complete remission of the pathophysiology of the surfactant deficiency state. It is an object of the present invention to provide a recombinant expression vehicle for expressing pulmonary surfactant protein.
- an adenoviral vector including a DNA sequence encoding a lung surfactant protein.
- the adenoviral vector is a replication deficient adenoviral vector, i.e., such vector is free of a DNA sequence(s) which is (are) required for viral replication, such as, for example, the El DNA sequence or a portion thereof.
- the adenoviral vector is free of at least a portion of the adenoviral El DNA sequence and is free of at least a portion of the adenoviral E3 DNA sequence.
- the E3 region encodes several polypeptides which help the adenovirus to evade the immune surveillance of the host.
- the adenoviral vector comprises an adenoviral 5' inverted terminal repeat, or ITR; an adenoviral 3' ITR; an adenoviral encapsidation signal; the DNA sequence encoding a lung surfactant protein; and a promoter controlling the expression of the DNA sequence encoding the lung surfactant protein.
- the vector is free of at least the majority of the adenoviral El and E3 DNA sequences, but is not free of all of the E2 and E4 DNA sequences, and is not free of DNA sequences encoding adenoviral proteins expressed by the adenoviral major late promoter. In one embodiment, the vector is also free of at
- the vector is free of the adenoviral El and E3 DNA sequences, and is free of one of the E2 and E4 DNA sequences, and is free of a portion of the other of the E2 and E4 DNA sequences.
- the vector is free of at least the majority of the El and E3 DNA sequences, is free of at least a portion of at least one DNA sequence selected from the group consisting of the E2 and E4 DNA sequences, and is free of DNA sequences encoding adenoviral proteins expressed under control of the adenoviral major late promoter.
- Suitable promoters which may be employed include, but are not limited to, adenoviral promoters, such as the adenoviral major late promoter; or heterologous promoters, such as the cytomegalovirus (CMV) promoter; the Rous Sarcoma Virus promoter; the respiratory syncytial virus promoter; inducible promoters, such as the mouse mammary tumor virus, or MMTV, promoter; the metallothionein promoter; and heat shock promoters.
- tissue-specific promoters such as, but not limited to, lung surfactant protein promoters, may also be employed. It is to be understood, however, that the scope of the present invention is not to be limited to any specific promoter.
- Lung surfactant proteins which may be encoded by the DNA sequence encoding a lung surfactant protein include surfactant protein A (SPA), surfactant protein B (SPB), and surfactant protein C (SPC).
- SPA surfactant protein A
- SPB surfactant protein B
- SPC surfactant protein C
- Surfactant protein A is described in Kuroki, et al., J. Biol. Chem., Vol. 263, No. 7, pgs. 3388-3394 (March 5, 1988).
- Surfactant protein B and DNA encoding therefor are described in Pilot-Matias, et al., DNA. Vol. 8, No. 2, pgs. 75-86 (1989), Glasser, et al., Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci., Vol 84, pgs. 4007-4011 (June 1987); Revak, et al. , J. Clin. Invest.. Vol. 81, pgs.
- the DNA sequence encoding a lung surfactant protein encodes lung surfactant protein B.
- SPB is the most clinically important lung surfactant protein of those herein above described.
- Such a vector in a preferred embodiment, is assembled first by constructing, according to standard techniques, a shuttle plasmid which contains, beginning at the leftward adenoviral genomic elements, the "critical left end elements", which include an adenoviral 5' ITR, an adenoviral encapsidation signal, and the Ela enhancer sequence; a promoter (which may be an adenoviral promoter or a foreign promoter); a tripartite leader sequence, a multiple cloning site; a poly A signal; and a DNA segment which corresponds to a segment of the adenoviral genome.
- the critical left end elements which include an adenoviral 5' ITR, an adenoviral encapsidation signal, and the Ela enhancer sequence
- a promoter which may be an adenoviral promoter or a foreign promoter
- a tripartite leader sequence a multiple cloning site
- poly A signal a DNA segment which corresponds to a
- Such DNA segment serves as a substrate for homologous recombination with a modified or mutated adenovirus, and such sequence may encompass, for example, a segment of the adenoviral genome from base 3328 to base 6241 of the adenovirus 5 genome.
- the plasmid may also include a selectable marker and an origin of replication.
- the origin of replication may be, for example, a bacterial origin of replication.
- a representative example of such a shuttle plasmid is pAVS6, shown in Figure 4.
- An intron may be included within the transcribed portion to enhance the cytoplasmic mRNA accumulation levels.
- the multiple cloning site facilitates the insertion of the DNA sequence encoding a lung surfactant protein into the plasmid.
- restriction enzyme sites separating the above- mentioned components of the shuttle plasmid include "rare" restriction enzyme sites; i.e., sites which are found to occur randomly in eukaryotic genes at a frequency from about one in every 10,000 to about one in every 100,000 base pairs. This increases the flexibility and ease of rearranging components of the vectors in assembled shuttle plasmids.
- Homologous recombination is then effected with a modified or mutated adenovirus in which at least the majority of the El and E3 adenoviral DNA sequences have been deleted, as shown, for example, in Figure 8.
- a modified or mutated adenovirus in which at least the majority of the El and E3 adenoviral DNA sequences have been deleted, as shown, for example, in Figure 8.
- Such homologous recombination may be effected through co- transfection of the shuttle plasmid and the modified adenovirus into a helper cell line, such as 293 (embryonic kidney epithelial) cells, by CaP0 4 precipitation.
- a cloning vector is formed in which the modified adenovirus DNA which was 5' to the DNA segment in the shuttle plasmid corresponding to a similar segment of the modified adenoviral genome is replaced with the components in the shuttle plasmid which are 5' to such DNA segment.
- This homologous recombination, or "crossing over" event can occur anywhere along the segment of the genome of the modified adenovirus which corresponds to the segment which is also contained within the shuttle plasmid (such as, for example, bases 3328 to 6241 of adenovirus 5 in Example 1 shown below) .
- a vector which includes an adenoviral 5' ITR; an adenoviral encapsidation signal; an Ela enhancer sequence; a promoter; a tripartite leader sequence; a DNA sequence encoding a
- SU8STITUTE SHEET (RULE *,) lung surfactant protein; a poly A signal; adenoviral DNA free of at least the majority of the El and E3 adenoviral DNA sequences; and an adenoviral 3' ITR.
- This vector may then be introduced into a cell line such as the 293 cell line for production of large amounts of infectious recombinant adenoviral particles.
- the 293 cell line is a human fetal kidney epithelial cell line into which has been permanently introduced 11% of the left end of the adenovirus 5 genome. This directs the synthesis of the adenoviral Ela and Elb proteins and allows trans- complementation of El-deleted vectors.
- infectious viral particles may then be administered to a host in vivo as part of a gene therapy procedure.
- infectious viral particles may be administered syste ically, such as by intravenous or intraperitoneal or intrasmuscular or subcutaneous administration, or may be administered topically, such as by intratracheal or intrabronchial administration, or, alternatively, the infectious viral particles may be administered in an aerosol formulation.

- the vector comprises an adenoviral 5' ITR; an adenoviral 3' ITR; an adenoviral encapsidation signal; a DNA sequence encoding a lung surfactant protein; and a promoter controlling the DNA sequence encoding a lung surfactant protein.
- the vector is free of the adenoviral El, E2, E3, and E4 DNA sequences, and the vector is free of DNA sequences encoding adenoviral proteins promoted by the adenoviral major late promoter; i.e., the vector is free of DNA encoding adenoviral structual proteins.
- Such vector is sometimes hereinafter referred to as a "gutless adenoviral vector," or "GLAd" vector.

- Genbank accession #M73260 The comlete Adenovirus 5 genome is registered as Genbank accession #M73260, incorporated herein by reference, and the virus is available from the American Type Culture Collection, Rockville, Maryland, U.S.A. under accession number VR-5.
- Ad-dl327 was constructed by routine methods from Adenovirus 5 (Ad5). The method is outlined briefly as follows and previously described by Jones and Shenk, Cell 13:181-188 (1978).
- Ad5 DNA is isolated by proteolytic digestion of the virion and partially cleaved with Xba I restriction endonuclease. The Xba I fragments are then reassembled by ligation as a mixture of fragments. This results in some ligated genomes with a sequence similar to Ad5, except excluding sequences 28593 bp to 30470 bp.
- This DNA is then transfected into suitable cells (e.g. KB cells, HeLa cells, 293 cells) and overlaid with soft agar to allow plaque formation. Individual plaques are then isolated.
- SUBST ⁇ TU7E SHEET (RULE 26) amplified, and screened for the absence of the 1878 bp E3 region Xba 1 fragment.
- the orientation of this fragment was such that the Bglll site was nearest the T7 RNA polymerase site of pKSII " and the HindiII site was nearest the T3 RNA polymerase site of pKSII " .
- This plasmid was designated pHR. ( Figure 1).
- the ITR, encapsidation signal, Rous Sarcoma Virus promoter, the adenoviral tripartite leader (TPL) sequence and linking sequences were assembled as a block using PCR amplification ( Figure 2).
- the ITR and encapsidation signal (sequences 1-392 of Ad-dl327 [identical to sequences from Ad5, Genbank accession #M73260]) were amplified (amplification 1) together from Ad-dl327 using primers containing NotI or Ascl restriction sites.
- the Rous Sarcoma Virus LTR promoter was amplified (amplification 2) from the plasmid pRC/RSV (sequences 209 to 605; Invitrogen, San Diego, CA) using primers containing an Ascl site and an Sfil site. DNA products from amplifications 1 and 2 were joined using the "overlap" PCR method (amplification 3) with only the NotI primer and the Sfil primer. Complementarity between the Ascl containing end of each initial DNA amplification product from reactions 1 and 2 allowed joining of these two pieces during amplification.
- the TPL was amplified (amplification 4) (sequences 6049 to 9730 of Ad-dl327 [identical to similar sequences from Ad5, Genbank accession #M73260]) from cDNA made from mRNA isolated from 293 cells infected for 16 hours with Ad-dl327 using primers containing Sfil and Xbal sites respectively. DNA fragments from amplification reactions 3 and 4 were then joined using PCR (amplification 5) with the NotI- and Xbal-site- containing primers, thus creating the complete gene block.
- amplification 4 sequences 6049 to 9730 of Ad-dl327 [identical to similar sequences from Ad5, Genbank accession #M73260]
- DNA fragments from amplification reactions 3 and 4 were then joined using PCR (amplification 5) with the NotI- and Xbal-site- containing primers, thus creating the complete gene block.
- the ITR-encapsidation signal-TPL fragment was then purified, cleaved with NotI and Xbal and inserted into the NotI, Xbal cleaved pHR plasmid. This plasmid was
- SUBSTITIITE SHEET (RULE 26) designated pAvS6A and the orientation was such that the NotI site of the fragment was next to the T7 RNA polymerase site ( Figure 3) .
- the SV40 early polyA signal was removed from SV40 DNA as an Hpal-BamHI fragment, treated with T4 DNA polymerase and inserted into the Sail site of the plasmid pAvS6A-( Figure 3) to create pAvS6 ( Figures 3 and 4).
- pAVS6SPB#7 Such clones are named pAVS6SPB#7, pAVS6SPB#12, and pAVS6SPB#13.
- pAVS6 SPB#7 is shown in Figure 7. The orientation of the SPB DNA within the shuttle plasmid was obtained by evaluating the DNA sequences of the two termini of the SPB cDNA insert in the plasmid with primers derived from pAVS6.
- the recombinant adenoviral vector AV1SPB1 ( Figure 8), containing SPB cDNA was constructed through homologous recombination between the Ad5 deletion mutant Ad-dl327 ( Figure 8), and pAVS6SPB#7. Homologous recombination, or "crossing over,” occurs between Ad-dl327 and pAVS6.SPB#7, along the segment common to both Ad-dl327 and pAVS6.SPB#7 which corresponds to bases 3328 to 6241 (or map units 9.24 to 17.34) of the adenovirus 5 genome.
- Ad-dl327 has a deleted E3 region in which base pairs 28593 to 30470 are absent (Thimmappaya, et al, Cell, Vol. 31, pgs. 543-551 (1982)).
- pAVS6SPB#7 contains an adenoviral 5' ITR, an origin of replication contained completely within the 5' ITR, an Ela enhancer and encapsidation signal, a Rous Sarcoma Virus promoter, an adenovirus 5 tripartite leader
- SUBSJ1TUTE SHEET (RULE 26) sequence and the 2kb human SPB cDNA including the entire protein coding sequence (nucleotides 1 to 1172), and the SV40 poly A signal.
- 293 cells (ATCC No. CRL 1573) were infected with AV1SPB1 at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 50 MOI units. At 12 hours post-infection, the cells were radiolabeled with 35 S-methionine (50 ⁇ Ci/ml) overnight. Identical amounts of labeled protein were used for immunoprecipitation with antisera against SPB. Immunopreciptates were analyzed by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis on 16% gel. The gels were fluorographed. C 14 -labeled molecular weight markers and BioRad broad range molecular weight markers were used as size markers.
- MOI multiplicity of infection
- lane 1 shows an uninfected control
- lane 2 shows AVISPBl-infected 293 cells in which electrophoresis of immunoprecipitates occurred under reducing conditions
- lane 3 shows AVISPBl-infected 293 cells in which electrophoresis of immunoprecipitates occurred under non- reducing conditions.
- the precursor protein also was detected in both reduced and unreduced conditions.
- the filter was crosslinked (UV Crosslink, Stratagene), and hybridized with a 32 P-labeled 2.0 kb human SP-B cDNA probe prepared by random priming (Loftstrand) and evaluated by autoradiography. Lungs from uninfected control rats and from rats infected with AvlLacZ4 also were subjected to the above hybridization procedure.
- the animals were sacrificed 48 hours after infection, and the lungs were prepared for in situ hybridization analysis according to the method of Wert, et al.. Development Biology. Vol. 156, pgs. 426-443 (1993), using human SP-BcRNA. An uninfected rat was used as a control.
