ABSTRACT The successful application of human gene therapy protocols on a broad clinical basis will depend on the availability of in vivo cell-type-specific gene delivery systems. We have developed retroviral vector particles, derived from spleen necrosis virus (SNV), that display the antigen binding site of an antibody on the viral surface. Using retroviral vectors derived from SNV that displayed single-chain antibodies (scAs) directed against a carcinoembryonic antigen-cross-reacting cell surface protein, we have shown that an efficient, cell-type-specific gene delivery can be obtained. In this study, we tested whether other scAs displayed on SNV vector particles can also lead to cell-type-specific gene delivery. We displayed the following scAs on the retroviral surface: one directed against the human cell surface antigen Her2neu, which belongs to the epidermal growth factor receptor family; one directed against the stem cell-specific antigen CD34; and one directed against the transferrin receptor, which is expressed on liver cells and various other tissues. We show that retroviral vectors displaying these scAs are competent for infection in human cells which express the antigen recognized by the scA. Infectivity was cell type specific, and titers above 105 CFU per ml of tissue culture supernatant medium were obtained. The density of the antigen on the target cell surface does not influence virus titers in vitro. Our data indicate that the SNV vector system is well suited for the development of a large variety of cell-type-specific targeting vectors.

Cell-type-specific genes involved in disease can be effective therapeutic targets; therefore, the development of a cell-type-specific gene delivery system is essential.

AbstractFollowing acute injury, leukocytes rapidly infiltrate into tissues. For efficient recruitment, leukocytes must sense and respond to signals from both from the damaged tissue and from one another. However, the cell type specific transcriptional changes that influence leukocyte recruitment and wound healing have not been well characterized. In this study, we performed a large-scale translating ribosome affinity purification (TRAP) and RNA sequencing screen in larval zebrafish to identify genes differentially expressed by neutrophils, macrophages, and epithelial cells in the context of wounding. We identified the complement pathway and c3a.1, homologous to the C3A component of human complement, as significantly increased in neutrophils in response to a wound. We report that c3a.1−/− zebrafish larvae have impaired neutrophil responses to both tail wounds and localized bacterial infections, as well as increased susceptibility to infection due to a neutrophil-intrinsic function of C3A. We further show that C3A enhances migration of human primary neutrophils to IL-8 and that c3a.1−/− larvae have impaired neutrophil migration in vivo, and a decrease in neutrophil directed migration speed early after wounding. Together, our findings suggest a role for C3A in mediating efficient neutrophil migration to damaged tissues and support the power of TRAP to identify cell-specific changes in gene expression associated with wound-associated inflammation.
