O protocolo de purificação com gradiente de densidade de iodixanol duplo é o método universal, pois é aplicável a qualquer variante mutante do AAV, independentemente de sua especificidade receptora. Os primeiros métodos de purificação de AAV baseavam-se na densidade de partículas e incluíam centrifugação isopicnica em CsCl e centrifugação contínua por gradiente de densidade de sacarose19. Posteriormente, foram desenvolvidas abordagens sorotipo-específicas, que utilizaram anticorpo...

Os vetores virais adenoassociados recombinantes (rAAV) são ferramentas amplamente utilizadas para o tratamento de doenças genéticas, incluindo atrofia muscular espinhal, distrofia retiniana e hemofilia A 1,2,3. Os vetores rAAV são projetados para não ter genes virais presentes no AAV4 selvagem, um vírus icosaédrico pequeno e não envelope com um genoma linear de DNA de fita simples de 4,7 kb. O AAV foi descoberto na década de 1960 como contaminante de preparações de adenovírus5. Apesar de seu pequeno tamanho do capsídeo, que limita o tamanho do transgene que pode ser empacotado a um máximo de 4,9 kb excluindo ITRs6, o AAV é útil para a liberação de transgênicos porque não é patogênico em humanos, permite a expressão de transgênicos em muitos tipos celulares em divisão e não em divisão e tem efeitos imunogênicos limitados7.
Como membros do gênero dependoparvovirus, a produção de rAAVs depende da expressão de genes auxiliares presentes no adenovírus ou herpes simplexvírus 8. Várias estratégias para produzir o rAAV têm sido desenvolvidas, mas a produção em células HEK293 transformadas com os genes auxiliares adenovirais E1A/E1B é o método mais utilizadoatualmente9. A abordagem geral da produção de rAAV começa com a transfecção de células HEK293 com três plasmídeos contendo o transgene dentro de repetições terminais invertidas (ITRs), genes de AAV rep e cap e genes auxiliares adenovirais adicionais, respectivamente. Setenta e duas horas após a transfecção, as células são colhidas e processadas para purificar o rAAV contendo o transgene.
No desenvolvimento de novos vetores de rAAV para fins terapêuticos, um dos principais objetivos é a produção de vetores com maior eficiência de transdução. Um aumento na eficiência de transdução das células-alvo significaria uma diminuição na dose clínica necessária de rAAV, diminuindo, assim, a probabilidade de efeitos imunogênicos adversos que vão desde a neutralização mediada por anticorpos até toxicidades agudas10,11. Para melhorar a eficácia da transdução de vetores rAAV, alterações podem ser feitas no genoma empacotado ou no capsídeo. Métodos viáveis para ajustar a eficácia da transdução via projeto de genoma empacotado incluem a incorporação de promotores fortes e tecido-específicos, seleção cuidadosa de elementos de processamento de mRNA e otimização de sequência de codificação para melhorar a eficiência da tradução12. Alterações no capsídeo são feitas com o objetivo de aumentar o tropismo por tipos celulares humanos alvo. Os esforços para o desenvolvimento de novos capsídeos do vetor de entrega de transgenes rAAV são geralmente caracterizados por um foco no planejamento racional de capsídeos de AAV com mutações específicas visando receptores celulares específicos ou evolução direcionada para identificar capsídeos com tropismo para tipos celulares específicos de bibliotecas combinatórias de capsídeos de alta complexidade sem ter como alvo um receptor específico (embora alguns grupos combinem essas abordagens)13, 14,15. Na abordagem de evolução dirigida, bibliotecas combinatórias do capsídeo são construídas usando uma espinha dorsal do sorotipo particular com regiões variáveis mutadas no exterior do capsídeo16. Bibliotecas combinatórias de capsídeos são frequentemente construídas a partir de sorotipos de AAV não originários de humanos, diminuindo o risco de imunidade preexistente durante o uso clínico10. Portanto, métodos de purificação que podem ser aplicados a qualquer sorotipo são ideais para eliminar a necessidade de otimização sorotipo-específica para os sorotipos menos comumente usados servindo como espinhas dorsais para essas bibliotecas.
A centrifugação por gradiente de densidade de iodixanol é utilizada para purificar altos títulos de VAr com alta infectividade17. Nesse protocolo, o rAAV é produzido em cultura de células de suspensão para diminuir a quantidade de trabalho necessário para produzir grandes títulos de AAV. Uma etapa de centrifugação também está incluída para limpar o lisado celular para reduzir a presença de proteínas contaminantes e diminuir o risco de precipitação do vírus. Este protocolo é um método custo-efetivo para produzir preparações de rAAV de alta pureza, adequadas para uso pré-clínico.

suspension culture production and purification of adeno-associated virus by iodixanol density gradient centrifugation for in vivo applications

Este protocolo descreve a produção e purificação de vírus adenoassociados recombinantes (rAAV) por centrifugação por gradiente de densidade de iodixanol, um método agnóstico de sorotipo para purificação de AAV descrito pela primeira vez em 1999. Os vetores rAAV são amplamente utilizados em aplicações de terapia gênica para entregar transgenes a vários tipos de células humanas. Neste trabalho, o vírus recombinante é produzido pela transfecção de células Expi293 em cultura de suspensão com plasmídeos que codificam os genes transgene, capsídeo vetorial e adenoviral auxiliar. A centrifugação por gradiente de densidade de iodixanol purifica partículas completas de AAV com base na densidade de partículas. Além disso, três etapas são incluídas nesta metodologia agora onipresente para aumentar o rendimento total do vírus, diminuir o risco de precipitação devido a proteínas contaminantes e concentrar ainda mais o produto final do vírus, respectivamente: precipitação de partículas virais do meio celular usando uma solução de polietilenoglicol (PEG) e cloreto de sódio, a introdução de uma segunda rodada de centrifugação por gradiente de densidade de iodixanol, e troca de buffer através de filtro centrífugo. Usando este método, é possível obter consistentemente títulos na faixa de 10a 12 partículas virais/mL de pureza excepcional para uso in vivo .

Recombinant adeno-associated viral (rAAV) vectors are widely used tools for the treatment of genetic diseases, including spinal muscular atrophy, retinal dystrophy, and hemophilia A1,2,3. rAAV vectors are engineered to lack viral genes present in wild-type AAV4, a small, non-envelope icosahedral virus with a linear single-stranded 4.7 kb DNA genome. AAV was first discovered in the 1960s as a contaminant of adenovirus preparations5. Despite its small capsid size, which limits the size of the transgene that can be packaged to a maximum of 4.9 kb excluding ITRs6, AAV is useful for transgene delivery because it is non-pathogenic in humans, allows expression of transgene in many dividing and nondividing cell types, and has limited immunogenic effects7.
As members of the genus dependoparvovirus, the production of rAAVs relies on the expression of helper genes present in adenovirus or herpes simplex virus8. Several strategies to produce rAAV have been developed, but production in HEK293 cells transformed with the adenoviral E1A/E1B helper genes is the most established method used today9. The general approach of rAAV production begins with the transfection of HEK293 cells with three plasmids containing the transgene within inverted terminal repeats (ITRs), AAV rep and cap genes, and additional adenoviral helper genes, respectively. Seventy-two hours after transfection, cells are harvested and processed to purify rAAV containing the transgene.
In the development of new rAAV vectors for therapeutic purposes, a major goal is producing vectors with increased transduction efficiency. An increase in the transduction efficiency of target cells would mean a decrease in the necessary clinical dose of rAAV, thus decreasing the likelihood of adverse immunogenic effects ranging from antibody-mediated neutralization to acute toxicities10,11. To improve the transduction efficacy of rAAV vectors, alterations can be made to the packaged genome or to the capsid. Viable methods to tune transduction efficacy via packaged genome design include the incorporation of strong and tissue-specific promoters, thoughtful selection of mRNA processing elements, and coding sequence optimization to improve translation efficiency12. Alterations to the capsid are made with the goal of increasing tropism for target human cell types. Efforts towards developing new rAAV transgene delivery vector capsids are generally characterized by a focus on either rational design of AAV capsids with specific mutations targeting specific cell receptors or directed evolution to identify capsids with tropism for specific cell types from high-complexity combinatorial capsid libraries without targeting one specific receptor (although some groups combine these approaches)13,14,15. In the directed evolution approach, combinatorial capsid libraries are constructed using a particular serotype backbone with mutated variable regions on the capsid exterior16. Combinatorial capsid libraries are often constructed from AAV serotypes not originating in humans, decreasing the risk of preexisting immunity during clinical use10. Therefore, purification methods that can be applied to any serotype are ideal to eliminate the need for serotype-specific optimization for the less commonly used serotypes serving as backbones for these libraries.
Iodixanol density gradient centrifugation is utilized to purify high titers of rAAV with high infectivity17. In this protocol, rAAV is produced in suspension cell culture to decrease the amount of labor needed to produce large titers of AAV. A centrifugation step is also included to clear cell lysate to reduce the presence of contaminating proteins and decrease the risk of virus precipitation. This protocol is a cost-effective method to produce preparations of high-purity rAAV suitable for pre-clinical use.

Produção e purificação de vírus adenoassociados em cultura de suspensão por centrifugação por gradiente de densidade de iodixanol para aplicações in vivo

We use a directed evolution approach to identify adeno-associated viral capits with higher tropism for target human cell types. Through this research, we aim to produce recombinant adeno-associated viral vectors with improved target cell transduction and clinical relevance within the field of gene therapy. Our group recently de-targeted several AAV serotypes from the liver by incorporating capsid residues original to an AAV serotype that naturally possesses decreased liver tropism.If successfully expanded to additional serotypes, this provides the groundwork to decrease necessary RAAV clinical dose by peripheral injection and reduce adverse patient outcomes. The IODIXanol purification method while being cost effective is difficult to scale up. Additionally, in downstream applications, the directed evolution approach is performed with animal models or in vitro.So capsid isolated by directed evolution may not transduce in vivo targets in humans to the same extent as in preclinical models. This protocol is affordable and accessible for smaller labs. Additionally, this method yields high purity, recombinant adeno-associated virus that can be used for downstream preclinical in vivo applications.

Usamos uma abordagem de evolução dirigida para identificar capits virais adenoassociadas com maior tropismo para tipos de células humanas alvo. Através desta pesquisa, pretendemos produzir vetores virais adenoassociados recombinantes com melhor transdução de células-alvo e relevância clínica dentro do campo da terapia gênica. Nosso grupo recentemente desvisou vários sorotipos de AAV do fígado, incorporando resíduos de capsídeo originais a um sorotipo de AAV que naturalmente possui tropismo hepático diminuído.Se expandido com sucesso para sorotipos adicionais, isso fornece a base para diminuir a dose clínica necessária de RAAV por injeção periférica e reduzir os desfechos adversos do paciente. O método de purificação IODIXanol, embora seja econômico, é difícil de escalar. Adicionalmente, em aplicações downstream, a abordagem de evolução dirigida é realizada com modelos animais ou in vitro.Assim, o capsídeo isolado por evolução dirigida pode não transduzir alvos in vivo em humanos na mesma medida que em modelos pré-clínicos. Este protocolo é acessível e acessível para laboratórios menores. Além disso, este método produz vírus adenoassociados recombinantes de alta pureza que podem ser usados para aplicações pré-clínicas in vivo a jusante.

Suspension Culture Production and Purification of Adeno-Associated Virus by Iodixanol Density Gradient Centrifugation for In Vivo Applications

This protocol describes recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) production and purification by iodixanol density gradient centrifugation, a serotype-agnostic method of purifying AAV first described in 1999. rAAV vectors are widely used in gene therapy applications to deliver transgenes to various human cell types. In this work, the recombinant virus is produced by transfection of Expi293 cells in suspension culture with plasmids encoding the transgene, vector capsid, and adenoviral helper genes. Iodixanol density gradient centrifugation purifies full AAV particles based on particle density. Additionally, three steps are included in this now-ubiquitous methodology in order to increase total virus yield, decrease the risk of precipitation due to contaminating proteins, and further concentrate the final virus product, respectively: precipitation of viral particles from cell media using a solution of polyethylene glycol (PEG) and sodium chloride, the introduction of a second round of iodixanol density gradient centrifugation, and buffer exchange via a centrifugal filter. Using this method, it is possible to consistently achieve titers in the range of 1012 viral particles/mL of exceptional purity for in vivo use.

Adeno-associated virus is produced in suspension cell culture and purified by double iodixanol density gradient centrifugation. Steps are included to increase total virus yield, decrease the risk of virus precipitation, and further concentrate the final virus product. Expected final titers reach 1012 viral particles/mL and are suitable for pre-clinical in vivo use.
