Transposon-based interferon gamma gene transfer overcomes limitations of episomal plasmid for immunogene therapy of glioblastoma

Abstract: Despite improvements in gene delivery technology, transient expression of plasmid DNA has limited the efficacy of nonviral vectors applied to cancer gene therapy. We previously developed plasmid DNA vectors capable of transgene integration and long-term expression in human glioblastoma cells by utilizing the Sleeping Beauty (SB) transposable element. In this study, we compared the efficacy of interferon gamma (IFN-g) immunogene therapy using episomal or SB vectors in a syngeneic GL261 glioma model. Gene delive… Show more

“…Furthermore, PEI-based systemic delivery of the SB transposon system encoding the human indoleamine-2,3-dioxygenase (hIDO) gene was evaluated in the context of lung transplantation-associated chronic complications, and found to elicit a remarkable therapeutic response, as evidenced by near normal pulmonary function in lung allografts (H. Liu et al, 2006). Last, SBmediated gene transfer significantly increased survival of mice bearing human glioblastoma xenografts by expressing antiangiogenic gene products (Ohlfest et al, 2005a), and improved the efficacy of immunotherapy by facilitating sustained cytokine expression after local, intratumoral injections of vector-PEI complexes (Wu et al, 2007).…”

“…Wu et al compared the efficacy of interferon-gamma immunogene therapy using non-integrating plasmid vectors vs SB plasmid vectors in a syngeneic glioma model. Only animals co-injected with SB transposase plasmid exhibited prolonged expression of interferon-gamma and a significant increase in survival (3 weeks), while expression in animals treated with transposon plasmid alone was undetectable after 1 week [53]. …”

“…IFNγ has been shown to upregulate the expression of MHCI, MHCII, and NK cell activating ligands in both human and murine GBM cell lines [199, 200]. Pre-clinical experiments have shown that intratumoral delivery of IFNγ using either adenoviral vectors [200]or transposon elements [201] enhances the recruitment of lymphocytes to the brain tumor site in orthotopic mouse models of GBM, but does not lead to long-term survival. A recent study using a canine spontaneous model of brain cancer, has demonstrated long-term survival following delivery of an adenoviral vector encoding IFNγ when used in combination with multiple vaccinations with autologous tumor cells mixed with CpG oligodeoxynucleotides.…”
