Cell Fate Control Gene Therapy Based on Engineered Variants of Human Deoxycytidine Kinase
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
The safety of cell therapy applications can be enhanced by the introduction of Cell Fate Control (CFC) elements, which encode pharmacologically controlled cellular suicide switches. CFC Gene Therapy (CFCGT) offers the possibility of establishing control over gene-modified cells (GMCs) with regards to their proliferation, differentiation, or function. However, enzymes commonly employed in these approaches often possess poor kinetics and high immunogenicity. We describe a novel CFCGT system based on engineered variants of human deoxyCytidine Kinase (dCK) that overcomes limitations of current modalities. Mutants of dCK with rationally designed active sites that make them thymidine-activating were stably introduced into cells by recombinant lentiviral vectors (LVs). Transduced cells maintained growth kinetics and function. These dCK mutants efficiently activate bromovinyl-deoxyuridine (BVdU), l-deoxythymidine (LdT), and l-deoxyuridine (LdU), which are otherwise not toxic to wild-type cells. We show that mutant dCK-expressing Jurkat, Molt-4, and U87mg cells could be efficiently eliminated in vitro and in xenogeneic leukemia and tumor models in vivo. We also describe a fusion construct of the thymidine-activating dCK to the cytoplasmic tail-truncated LNGFR molecule and applications to in vivo eradication of primary human T cells. This novel CFCGT system offers unique plasticity with respect to the wide range of prodrugs it can potentiate, and can be used as a reliable safety switch in cell and gene therapy.

Prédiction distillée sur la base complète
Imitation des enseignantsNi prévalence calibrée, ni vérité terrain. Validation humaine à venir. Apprise à partir de 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et de 10 348 étiquettes directes de Gemma. Le mode candidate est l'union des têtes enseignantes seuillées; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont ni des étiquettes humaines ni des étiquettes directes de modèles de pointe.
