Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for inducible gene expression in which a target nucleic acid sequence to be expressed is modified at the nucleic acid level such that an increase in expression is achieved, and the nucleic acid sequence modified in this way is expressed under the control of an inducible transcription control sequence.
- viruses rely on active export of their incompletely spliced transcripts from the nucleus of the infected host cell. This can be done either by using a cis-RNA signal within the viral transcripts (constitutive transport elements) or by using viral proteins.
- Cis-active transport elements are used, for example, by MPMV-CTE (Mason-Pfizer Monkey Virus Constituent Transport Element), SRV-CTE (Simian Retrovirus Constituent Transport Element), Hepatitis B Virus PRE (Post-Transcriptional Regulatory Element) and HSV (Herpes Simplex Virus) (used within the TK (thymidine kinase) gene). These RNA elements recruit cellular factors and export pathways to allow for the nuclear export of viral transcripts.
- MPMV-CTE Melat-Pfizer Monkey Virus Constituent Transport Element
- SRV-CTE Syimian Retrovirus Constituent Transport Element
- Hepatitis B Virus PRE Post-Transcriptional Regulatory Element
- HSV Herpes Simplex Virus
- nuclear export may also be mediated via an export factor that specifically binds to a target sequence within the viral transcripts and transports them into the cytoplasm in association with cellular factors.
- Ad-5 adenovirus 5 transcripts using the 34K and E4orf6 proteins
- EBV Epstein-Barr virus
- herpesvirus Saimiri transcripts using the ORF57 gene product HSV transcripts using the ICP 27 protein
- HTLV-I and II human T-cell Leukemia Virus I and II
- Rex proteins EIAV (Equine Infectious Anaemia Virus), SIV (simian immunodeficiency virus), and HIV-1 and HIV-2 (human immunodeficiency virus 1 and 2) transcripts using the Rev proteins.
- HIV-1 Rev-mediated nuclear export is later HIV-1 transcripts. Like all lentiviruses, HIV-1 relies on activating multiple genes from only one proviral template and expressing them in a timed sequence. By alternative splicing events as well as further regulatory mechanisms taking place on RNA level different genes from only one ⁇ 9 kb primary transcript are generated. These viral transcripts can be divided into 3 classes due to their size: ⁇ 9 kb unspliced (gag, pol), ⁇ 4 kb single spliced (env, vif, vpr, vpu) and ⁇ 2 kb multiply spliced ⁇ rev, tat, nef) RNAs.
- the single and unspliced transcripts can never be detected in the cytoplasm.
- the un- and simply spliced transcripts then accumulate in the nucleus, and the late structural proteins (Gag, Env) and enzymes (Pol) they are able to translate can not be formed.
- the viral Rev protein is thus essentially involved in the time-regulated expression of the viral genes.
- HIV-1 Rev as well as the RNA transport molecules listed above Shuttle proteins that transport viral RNAs from the nucleus into the cytoplasm through interaction with an RNA target located within viral transcripts.
- HIV-1 Rev specifically binds to its RNA target RRE, the "rev-responsive element".
- This 351 nucleotide (nt) long region is located within the Env reading frame and thus part of all un-spliced and single-spliced transcripts.
- RNP ribonucleoprotein
- a cellular transcript can not leave the cell nucleus until the splicing process is complete, or all active splice sites have been removed from the primary transcript.
- the late viral transcripts are intron-containing, incompletely spliced pre-mRNAs that are transported into the cytoplasm using Rev and RRE. Therefore, the influence of the cellular splicing machinery on the nuclear retention of late transcripts was studied early on (Mikaelian et al., 1996) (Kjems et al., 1991; Kjems et al., 1993; Chang et al., 1989; Powell et al. , Lu et al., 1990; O'Reilly et al., 1995).
- HIV wild-type RNA relies on an alternative export pathway, characterized by the Crm1 protein, dependent on the HIV shuttle protein Rev, the synthetic mRNA is constitutively transported into the cytoplasm on the regular nuclear export pathway for cellular mRNAs. This constitutive expression of HIV proteins opens new avenues for HIV therapy at the genetic level.
- anti-HIV genes in cells can be efficiently utilized for intracellular inhibition of HIV replication (Bunnell et al., 1998).
- a whole range of HIV gene therapy strategies have been developed, ranging from antisense constructs and RNA decoys via specific RNA-degrading ribozymes and RNA interference to transdominant-negative HIV-derived proteins. Beside these Intracellular inhibitors that specifically interfere with HIV replication may also prevent the re-infection of cells or the spread of progeny viruses as part of gene therapy.
- Various approaches are concerned with the expression of secretable anti-HIV proteins, immunostimulating or unspecific antiviral factors, and not least with the expression of cytotoxic factors after infection (for review, see Mautino et al., 2002).
- viral replication can be accomplished by preventing virus release in a very specific manner, using HIV-derived protein derivatives.
- Deletions in the gag mediate a transdominant negative (TDN) effect on the neoplasm and release of progeny viruses (Poblotzki et al., 1993, Trono et al., 1989, Smythe et al., 1994, Furuta et al., 1997). These deletions are located in p17MA, in the transition region of p17MA / p24CA and in the C-terminal domain of p24CA. The exact mechanism of action of the transdominant-negative effect has not been elucidated.
- Tat, Rev, and Tat / Rev-dependent expression were studied, and in part the inhibition of HIV proliferation in vitro was described (Caruso et al., 1992, Harrison et al., 1992, Liu et al. , 1994).
- thymidine kinase (Marcello et al., 1998) and interferon ⁇ 2 (Ragheb et al., 1999) could be increased by a factor of 5 and 4, respectively, and by a factor of 3.3 and ⁇ 2, respectively, by Rev .
- HIV-1 TDN Gag derivatives For HIV-1 TDN Gag derivatives, a marked Rev-mediated induction of protein synthesis (with low basal activity) was shown, which was associated with a substantial inhibition of HIV replication (up to 94%) (Smythe et al., 1994; Furuta et al., 1997).
- Tat- and Rev-dependent expression of TDN Gag For the combination of Tat- and Rev-dependent expression of TDN Gag, a significantly increased protein synthesis could also be achieved by cotransfection of tat and rev expression plasmids (Ding et al., 2002, Cara et al., 1998).
- Rev influences the export of RNA from the nucleus and is only associated with the corresponding cis-active Retention sequences (INS, see above) and a cis-standing recognition sequence (RRE) functional.
- Isolated gag genes which are reduced in size (and thus also in size), are efficiently transcribed under a correspondingly active promoter (eg CMV) and it seems likely that some of the RNA will enter the cytoplasm without the assistance of the Rev and is translated.
- the length of the LTR used can also have an influence on the regulation. Thus, with a minimal LTR, a complete shutdown of transcription was detected in the absence of Tat (Miyake et al., 2001), thus a "dense" inducible promoter described.
- the LTR / Tat system appears to be the more consistent switch module. Also because an induction by Rev is followed by action, which can lead to an initial virus multiplication, just before the inhibition can take effect through the transgene. Inter alia, the observed incomplete inhibition of replication after Rev induction is explained (Smythe et al., 1994).
- TDN transdominant negative
- TDN derivatives used so far are derived from the HIV-1 wild-type genome, thus contain INS motifs and are therefore dependent on a Rev-mediated nuclear export. As described above, therefore, the actual inhibitory effect is only with the presence of REV in the nucleus, whereby the first HIV transcripts unhindered enter the cytoplasm and can complete the replication. Therefore, it is not surprising that a combination of both regulatory systems leads to a very inefficient inhibition of HIV replication (Cara et al.,
- transgene a gene to be expressed in a target nucleic acid sequence to be expressed
- Inducible gene expression is e.g. is essential in the use of toxic gene products and has significant advantages over other constitutive expression in other therapeutically useful genes:
- An uninfected cell is not stressed in its physiological performance by a high expression of additional factors under stress.
- Non-specific or unforeseeable interactions of the gene products could lead to physiological modifications, such as activation, proliferation or the like, also in neighboring cells, in tissues or in the whole organism.
- HIV-derived proteins are recognized by immune cells in the environment of HIV infection and the corresponding protein-expressing cells are eliminated.
- a transcriptional control sequence is a nucleic acid sequence that enables expression of a nucleic acid sequence operatively associated therewith, particularly a gene. It may be a promoter, in addition, the transcriptional control sequence may also include other elements, such as enhancers and the like.
- the inducible transcriptional control sequence is an inducible promoter.
- any inducible promoter system is suitable, which in the state the technique is known.
- a natural or artificial inducible promoter can be used, for example, a tetracycline-inducible promoter (Tet on / Tet off system).
- an inducible viral promoter can also be used.
- the transcriptional control sequence is induced by a transactive factor.
- the transactive factor is a factor that acts in trans and has an impact on transcription. This is preferably a transcription factor. Most preferably, the transactive factor is a viral transactivating factor.
- the inducible transcriptional control sequence is inducible by a viral transactive factor.
- Transcriptional control sequence inducible by a viral transactive factor can be derived from any virus.
- sequences of retroviruses HCV (hepatitis C
- HBV hepatitis B virus
- HSV herpes simplex virus
- EBV Epstein-Barr virus
- SV40 simian virus 40
- AAV adeno-associated virus
- transactive factors used herein are accordingly, e.g. selected from, but not limited to, the following viral factors: NS5A
- HCV HCV
- HBX HBV
- VP16 / ICP4 EBV
- EBNA1 / Rta EBV
- ART HHV8
- Large T antigen SV40

- a retroviral LTR promoter or a functional subsequence thereof is preferably used as an inducible transcription control sequence inducible by a viral transactive factor.
- the transactive factor is a retroviral Tat or Tax protein.
- the LTR promoter may be selected from the LTRs of HIV-1, HIV-2, SIV 1 HTLV and other related retroviruses, the LTR promoters exhibit. In particular, antiviral promoters are preferred, especially those of HIV.
- a transactive factor in the sense of the present invention is thus a factor which exerts an influence on the transcription in trans, preferably in that the transactive factor interacts with the inducible transcriptional control sequence.
- An example of such a transactive factor is thus the Tat protein already mentioned above.
- the target nucleic acid sequence to be expressed is modified. This is done at the nucleic acid level and preferably so that the corresponding amino acid sequence is not or substantially not changed. If the amino acid sequence is changed in the modification of the nucleic acid sequence to increase gene expression, this should have no influence on the function of the resulting protein.
- the modification of the target nucleic acid sequence to increase gene expression can be performed in a number of ways.
- the codon usage of the transgene is preferably adapted to the codon usage of mammalian cells, more preferably that of human cells.
- Modified target nucleic acid sequences suitable for gene therapy can be generated, for example, by choosing the codon distribution as occurs in exported cellular mRNA.
- a codon choice should be used here, as in most or secondarily mammalian cells More preferably, codon selection is adapted to that of actively expressed mammalian genes. (Ausubel et al., 1994).
- the nucleic acid sequence is modified using Gene Optimizer technology (German patent application DE 102 60 805.9, PCT / EP03 / 14850) for optimal expression in mammals.
- the codon choice it is also possible to optimize the GC content.
- this is achieved by adjusting the GC content of the transgene as accurately as possible to the GC content of the expression system used.
- the degeneration of the genetic code is utilized, so that the change of the nucleic acid sequence for the purpose of increasing the GC content does not lead to a change in the amino acid sequence.
- the optimal percentage of G and C nucleotides in a sequence to be expressed depends on the particular organism or cells in which the sequence is to be expressed. For example, the optimal GC content of nucleic acids in mammalian cells is about 50%.
- the optimization of the GC content or the adaptation of the codon usage is preferably carried out by silent mutations or by mutations which do not influence the activity of the protein encoded by the transgene.
- the codon usage need not necessarily be adjusted if the GC content of said gene is already over 50%.
- Genes with wild-type codon usage can be made from long oligonucleotides by stepwise PCR, as indicated in the example.
- Another way to modify the target nucleic acid sequence to be expressed for the purpose of enhancing expression is to either deliberately eliminate motifs that adversely affect transcription rather than the above or in addition thereto. This includes, for example, the deletion of nucleic acid motifs such as poly-A sequences and the like, which may already be known to the person skilled in the art.
- Other such negative expression influencing motifs include RNA instability motifs, adenine-rich motifs, recognition motifs for endonucleases, motifs that influence RNA secondary structure, and the like.
- the target nucleic acid sequence to be expressed preferably encodes a therapeutic and / or diagnostic protein.
- a therapeutic and / or diagnostic protein may be selected from toxic gene products, suicide factors, apoptosis-inducing proteins, messengers, transactivators, regulatory proteins, transdominant-negative proteins, cytokines, chemokines, etc.
- Specific examples are interferon ⁇ , SDF-I RANTES 1 MIP1 ⁇ , TNF, and interleukins especially the interleukins 2, 6, 10, 12, 15 and 28.
- the target nucleic acid sequence to be expressed encodes a gene which, when activated by the LTR / Tat system, eg after activation by HIV infection, produces proteins which are suitable to induce the natural defense mechanisms of neighboring cells or to prevent infection by HIV by binding to the corresponding receptors.
- these are in particular the receptors CD4, CCR5 or CXCR4.
- enzymes such as thymidine kinase, cytosine deaminase, purine nucleoside phosphorylase, carboxypeptidase, carboxylesterase, nitroreductase, peroxidase, xanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase, glycosidase, thymidine phosphorylase and the like.

- TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand TRAIL
- PLC protein kinase C
- TNF tumor necrosis factor
- AIF apoptosis-inducing factor
- the transgene may be a regulator gene which, after its induced expression in a cell as a molecular switch molecule, switches the expression of other genes on or off.
- a regulatory gene for example, a gene coding for a transcription factor can be used.
- these applications are not limited to the infection with HIV, the skilled person is able to use appropriate systems for other infections.
- the transgene is a viral gene.
- the target nucleic acid sequence to be expressed may also be a gene for a transdominant-negative (TDN) protein.

- gag gene containing further deletions. This can increase the TDN effect.
- further deletions in the p24 region or one or more assembly domains.

- Reading frame was then constructed using long oligonucleotides and a stepwise PCR as a fully synthetic reading frame.

- the syngag vector produced proved to be completely independent of the presence of the Rev protein, an RRE sequence, a 5 ' untranslated region (UTR), or the expression of the HIV gag
- HIV-1 wild-type gene (wtgag) was found to be dependent on Rev, RRE and the 5 ' UTR including splice donor
- the invention therefore preferably relates to a method for the expression of transdominant negative (TDN) lentivirus proteins in eukaryotic cells, comprising:

- Figure 6 shows a comparison of the nucleic acid sequences of TDsyngag (codon selection derived from mammalian genes) and TDwtgag (codon selection derived from HIV structural genes).
- the TDGag-encoding DNA fragment (“TDsyngag”) so prepared was amplified using the
- CMV cytomegalovirus
- RNA target sequence (Graf et al., 2000). This target sequence interacts at the RNA level with a viral nuclear export protein (in the case of HIV-1 Rev protein) and cellular nuclear export proteins.
- the wild-type construct was C-terminally shortened by introducing two consecutive stop codons in the gag reading frame (codons for 372F and 373L were mutated).
- the mutations were introduced by site-directed mutagenesis kit (Stratagene) using oligonucleotides gag-stop1 and gag-stop2.
- the resulting construct was named pc-CMV-UTR-wtgag-RRE.

- Figure 1 shows all the Gag-encoding constructs shown schematically.
- Example 2 shows all the Gag-encoding constructs shown schematically.
- TDgag constructs can be controlled by HIV regulatory proteins
- the transfected cells were washed twice with ice-cold PBS (10 mM Na 2 HPO 4 , 1.8 mM KH 2 PO 4 , 137 mM NaCl, 2.7 mM KCl), scraped off in ice-cold PBS, centrifuged at 300 ⁇ g for 10 min Lysis buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.0, 0.5% Triton X-100 (w / v)) for 30 min on ice. Insoluble constituents of the cell lysate were centrifuged off for 30 minutes at 10,000 ⁇ g and 4 ° C. The total protein amount of the supernatant was determined by the Bio-Rad Protein Assay (Bio-Rad, Kunststoff) according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- the samples were mixed with the same volume of 2-fold sample buffer (Laemmli, 1970) and heated to 95 0 C for 5 min. 50 ⁇ g total protein from cell lysates were separated on a 12.5% SDS / polyacrylamide gel (Laemmli, 1970), electrotransferred to a nitrocellulose membrane and with the monoclonal antibody p 24 -spezif ⁇ schen 13-5 (Wolf et al., 1990) analyzes and detects coupled by means of a secondary, AP (alkaline phosphatase) antibodies and by chromogenic staining detected (Fig. 2A).
- AP alkaline phosphatase
- cell lysates were quantified in a commercially available p24 ELISA test (NEN). 1 ⁇ g of the cell lysate was evaluated according to the manufacturer's instructions and the total concentration of HIV-1 p24 was determined (FIG. 2B).
- H1299 cells were transiently transfected with the gag constructs.
- the expression obtained was analyzed in the presence and absence of Tat or Rev ( Figure 2).
- constitutive expression of the TDgag was detected independently of Tat or Rev ( Figure 2A, lanes 2 and 2B, 2).
- the basal activity of the TDgag expression was slightly lower for the pc-LTR-TDsyngag construct compared to pc-CMV-UTR-TDwtgag-RRE, but significantly reduced for both constructs compared to the pc-CMV-TDsyngag and only slightly above the negative control (about factor 2.5 for pc-CMV-UTR-TDwtgag-RRE and 1.5 for pc-LTR-TDsyngag, Fig. 2B).
- the gene product of pc-LTR-UTR-TDwtgag-RRE could not be detected by these methods.
- the deletion in the gag leads to a reduced recognition by the monoclonal antibody and, in conjunction with a strongly restricted expression, the achieved TDgag amounts are insufficient for detection by antibodies. Therefore, the Tat and Rev dependence in a reference construct (complete wtgag sequence) was investigated. This construct (pc-LTR-UTR-wtgag-RRE) was dependent on both Tat and Rev. Tat alone led to an increase in expression by a factor of 4, Rev alone by a factor of 16 and the combination of Tat and Rev by a factor of 47 (Fig. 3).
- H1299 cells were transiently transfected with combinations of plasmids as described in Example 1.
- 15 ⁇ g HX10 proviral DNA and 30 ⁇ g each of the TDgag constructs or 30 ⁇ g pcDNA3.1 were used as control for uninhibited replication.
- the cell culture supernatants were harvested, cell components were sedimented by centrifugation (10 min at 10,000 xg) and the supernatants were incubated with 10% of a Triton x 100 solution (5%) for lysis of the HIV particles in the supernatant at RT for 15 min.
- the treated supernatants were used in appropriate dilutions in a p24 ELISA test (NEN) and the amount of p24 quantified.
- the reduction of the p24 amount correlates directly with an inhibition of particle release after transfection with an HIV-provirus.
- the determined p24 levels were set in relation to the control (cotransfection with pcDNA3.1, uninhibited) and percent inhibition calculated. For each combination at least 6 independent approaches were tested.
- TDgag constructs tested resulted in a significant inhibition of particle release.
- the TDsyngag (TDsg) constructs had a very high inhibition, independent of the upstream promoter.
- the inhibitory effect of the TDwtgag (TDwtg) constructs was dependent on the promoter region.
- the inhibition of particle release was significantly higher under a CMV promoter control than under the HIV LTR promoter.
- the TDgag constructs have a trans-dominant negative effect on HIV infectivity H 1299 cells were transfected with plasmid combinations as described under Example 3, and the supernatants were harvested after 48 h and purified. To check the influence of the TDgag constructs on the release of infectious progeny viruses, the conditioned cell culture supernatants were checked in a corresponding indicator cell line (MAGI) (Kimpton et al., 1992).

- the medium was aspirated and the wells were washed with PBS.
- the monolayers were fixed with 200 .mu.l fixing solution (1% formaldehyde, 0.2% glutaraldehyde in PBS) and washed again with PBS after incubation for 5 min at room temperature.
- 200 ⁇ l of staining solution (16 mg of X-GaI in 4 ml of DMSO, ad 40 ml of PBS, addition of 400 ⁇ l of K-ferricyanide (400 mM), 400 ⁇ l of K-ferrocyamide (400 mM) and 80 ⁇ l of MgCl 2 (1 M )
- the incubation was carried out at 37 ° C. for between 15 minutes and 3 hours. The blue cells were counted by light microscopy.
- the inhibition was determined as reduction of blue cells and in relation to the number of blue cells in the positive control indicated as percent inhibition of infectivity. In essence, the results correlate with the particle release inhibition data (Figure 4B). Nearly complete inhibition was demonstrated for the pc-CMV-TDsyngag, pc-LTR-TDsyngag, and pc-CMV-UTR-TDwtgag-RRE constructs, while the pc-LTR-UTR-TDwtgag-RRE construct caused approximately 50% inhibition (FIG. Shown are the results of an exemplary experiment from two independent approaches, Figure 4B).
