Abstract Interferon-γ (IFN-γ) is recommended as prophylaxis against infections in patients with chronic granulomatous disease (CGD). However, since the optimal dose, the dosing interval, and the mechanisms of action are not well-defined, we studied the effects on CGD neutrophil (PMN) functions ex vivo of interferon-γ (IFN-γ). Evaluations were made on oxidative capacity, measured by superoxide anion production and chemiluminescence after stimulation with f-met-leu-phe (f-MLP) or phorbol-myristate-acetate, the killing of Aspergillus fumigatus hyphae (assessed as conversion of the tetrazolium salt MTT to formazan), and on the expression of FcγRI receptor (CD64). After randomization, 9 CGD patients (4 with gp91phox, 3 with p47phox, 1 with p67phox deficiency and 1 with unspecified CGD) were given IFN-γ, either 50 or 100 μg/m2 subcutaneously on 2 consecutive days after double blinded randomization. Furthermore, one female hyperlyonized X-linked carrier with a CGD phenotype was also studied separately after IFN-γ treatment. Evaluations were made the day before and on days 1, 3, 8, and 18 after IFN-γ administration. The killing of A fumigatus hyphae, being close to zero before IFN-γ, was enhanced on day 3, being 36% higher than pretreatment values in the high-dose CGD group and 17% in the low-dose group. The expression of FcγRI on PMN increased 3.7-fold in the high-dose and 2.3-fold in the low-dose CGD group, being maximal on day 1. Oxidative functions were raised in only selected patients represented by different subtypes of CGD. The hyperlyonized carrier of X-linked CGD responded to IFN-γ with more enhanced oxidative responses and Aspergillus killing of her PMNs than the other patients. This study suggests that a higher dose of IFN-γ than currently recommended confers transient enhancements of certain PMN functions in CGD patients.

Abstract The superoxide-forming activity of 27,000-g particles prepared from homogenates of zymosan-treated human neutrophils is lost if the assay is conducted in the presence of 0.045% Triton X-100. This loss in activity in the presence of detergent is prevented by 40 micron flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD), but not by flavin mononucleotide, riboflavin, adenosine 5′-diphosphate, or adenosine 5′-monophosphate. With resting particles or particles from zymosan-treated chronic granulomatous disease neutrophils, no superoxide-forming activity is detectable even in the presence of FAD; this is true whether or not detergent is present in the assay. Particles extracted with detergent prior to assay are fully active if assayed in the presence of FAD, but show little activity if FAD is omitted from the assay mixture. These results suggest that the superoxide-forming enzyme from human neutrophils is a FAD-requiring enzyme.

Abstract The p47phox−/− mouse exhibits a phenotype similar to that of human chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) and, thus, is an excellent model for the study of gene transfer technology. Using the Moloney murine leukemia virus–based retroviral vector MFG-S encoding the human form of p47phox, we performed ex vivo gene transfer into Sca-1+ p47phox−/− marrow progenitor cells without conditioning of donors with 5-fluorouracil. Transduced progenitors were transplanted into moderately irradiated (500 cGy), G-CSF preconditioned sibling p47phox−/− mice. Using the fluorescent probe dihydrorhodamine 123 (DHR), in vivo biochemical correction of the superoxide-generating NADPH oxidase system was detected by flow cytometry in 12.3% ± 0.9% of phorbol myristate acetate–stimulated peripheral blood neutrophils at 4 weeks and 2.6% ± 1.0% at 14 weeks after transplantation. Following gene therapy, mice were challenged with the CGD pathogen Burkholderia (formerly Pseudomonas) cepacia and bacteremia levels were assessed at 24 hours and 7 days after inoculation. At both time points, bacteremia levels in gene corrected p47phox−/− mice were significantly lower than untreated p47phox−/− mice (0.89 ± 0.30 colonies v 237.7 ± 83.6 colonies at 24 hours, P < .02; 4.0 ± 2.0 colonies v 110.2 ± 26.5 colonies at 7 days, P < .0014). More importantly, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed a significant survival advantage of gene corrected versus untreated p47phox−/− mice (P < .001). Thus, stem-cell–directed ex vivo gene therapy is capable of restoring phagocyte oxidant-dependent host-defense function in this mouse model of a human immune-system disorder.

Abstract Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a primary immunodeficiency in which phagocytic cells of affected patients have impaired antimicrobial activity due to a defect in the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). CGD is caused by mutations in any one of four genes encoding for the subunits of the NADPH oxidase complex. Although curable by HSC transplantation, this strategy is usually limited only to patients with HLA-matched sibling or unrelated donors, as mismatched transplantation is associated with high morbidity and mortality due to graft failure and slow immune reconstitution. A therapeutic alternative for CGD patients is the genetic modification of autologous HSC. In January 2004 we initiated a Phase I/II clinical trial for X-CGD patients including conditioning with busulfan (8 mg/kg/total dose) prior to infusion of genetically modified HSC. G-CSF mobilized CD34+ cells from 2 adult patients (25 and 26 years) were transduced ex-vivo with a monocistronic gp91phox retroviral vector. Therapeutically significant gene marking levels were detected in neutrophils of both patients with up to 60% functionally corrected phagocytes 14 months after gene therapy. This high correction resulted from an unexpected but temporarily restricted expansion of gene transduced myeloid cells in vivo. In contrast gene marking levels in B-cells has remained constant at a level of 20%, while gene marking in T-cells is below 5%. Gene marking in bone marrow was detected at levels between 30% and 40% one year after transplantation of gene modified cells. Killing assays in vitro have demonstrated antibacterial and antifungal activity in gene transduced phagocytes and both patients recovered of Staph. aureus and Aspergillus fumigatus infections after gene therapy. Our results suggest that gene therapy in combination with bone marrow conditioning is a therapeutic option for inherited diseases affecting the myeloid compartment and can be successfully used to treat CGD.

Abstract Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a genetically heterogeneous syndrome characterized by a microbial killing defect of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) due to lack of superoxide O2-. 2 generation. Recent studies indicate that the neutrophil O2-.-generating system consists of at least two components, flavoprotein--flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD)--and cytochrome b. We evaluate the cytochrome b and FAD content in PMN from 30 CGD patients. The method for quantitating cytochrome b was modified by using PMN sonicates incubated with azide plus hydrogen peroxide. With this approach, several absorption peaks corresponding to myeloperoxidase and eosinophil peroxidase, which overlap with peaks of cytochrome b, were obliterated from reduced-minus-oxidized spectra, whereas the peaks of cytochrome b were not and could be readily quantitated. Cytochrome b was detected in PMNs from all 24 normal adults (47.4 +/- 2.9 pmol/7.5 X 10(6) cells), was absent in PMNs from 11 male CGD patients and one female CGD patient but was present in normal amounts in PMNs from nine male and nine female CGD patients. Stimulated nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) tests performed on PMNs from mothers of CGD patients indicated that cytochrome b deficiency was associated with X-linked inheritance, except in one case in which probable autosomal recessive inheritance was demonstrated. The PMN NBT test of the mother of another male patient without cytochrome b deficiency suggested an X-linked form of inheritance. In related studies, the FAD content in PMN particulate fractions was reduced in 4 of 28 CGD patients studied. All four CGD patients with reduced FAD lacked cytochrome b. However, three patients with cytochrome b deficiency had normal FAD. Thus, the results indicate that PMN cytochrome b deficiency is observed in most X-linked and in some autosomal recessive CGD, that cytochrome b deficiency may be associated with FAD deficiency, and that cytochrome b and FAD are normal in most patients with non-X-linked CGD.
