Protokollet för dubbel joddensitetsgradientrening är den universella metoden eftersom det är tillämpligt på alla AAV-mutantvarianter, oavsett deras receptorspecificitet. Tidiga metoder för AAV-rening förlitade sig på partikeldensitet och inkluderade isopyklonisk centrifugering i CsCl och kontinuerlig sackarosdensitetsgradientcentrifugering19. Senare utvecklades serotypspecifika metoder, som använde sig av monoklonala antikroppar bundna till Sepharose kolumn20. En n...

Rekombinanta adenoassocierade virala (rAAV) vektorer är allmänt använda verktyg för behandling av genetiska sjukdomar, inklusive spinal muskelatrofi, retinal dystrofi och hemofili A 1,2,3. rAAV-vektorer är konstruerade för att sakna virala gener som finns i vildtyp AAV4, ett litet, icke-hölje ikosaedriskt virus med ett linjärt enkelsträngat 4,7 kb DNA-genom. AAV upptäcktes först på 1960-talet som en förorening av adenoviruspreparat5. Trots sin lilla kapsidstorlek, som begränsar storleken på transgenen som kan förpackas till maximalt 4,9 kb exklusive ITR6, är AAV användbar för transgenleverans eftersom den är icke-patogen hos människor, tillåter uttryck av transgen i många delande och icke-delande celltyper och har begränsade immunogena effekter7.
Som medlemmar av släktet dependoparvovirus är produktionen av rAAVs beroende av uttrycket av hjälpgener som finns i adenovirus eller herpes simplexvirus8. Flera strategier för att producera rAAV har utvecklats, men produktion i HEK293-celler transformerade med adenovirala E1A/E1B-hjälpargener är den mest etablerade metoden som används idag9. Det allmänna tillvägagångssättet för rAAV-produktion börjar med transfektionen av HEK293-celler med tre plasmider som innehåller transgenen inom inverterade terminalupprepningar (ITR), AAV-rep - och cap-gener respektive ytterligare adenovirala hjälpgener. Sjuttiotvå timmar efter transfektionen skördas cellerna och bearbetas för att rena rAAV som innehåller transgenen.
I utvecklingen av nya rAAV-vektorer för terapeutiska ändamål är ett viktigt mål att producera vektorer med ökad transduktionseffektivitet. En ökning av transduktionseffektiviteten hos målceller skulle innebära en minskning av den nödvändiga kliniska dosen av rAAV, vilket minskar sannolikheten för negativa immunogena effekter som sträcker sig från antikroppsmedierad neutralisering till akut toxicitet10,11. För att förbättra transduktionseffekten hos rAAV-vektorer kan förändringar göras i det förpackade genomet eller i kapsiden. Genomförbara metoder för att finjustera transduktionseffektiviteten via paketerad genomdesign inkluderar inkorporering av starka och vävnadsspecifika promotorer, genomtänkt urval av mRNA-bearbetningselement och kodningssekvensoptimering för att förbättra translationseffektiviteten12. Förändringar av kapsiden görs med målet att öka tropismen för mänskliga celltyper. Ansträngningar för att utveckla nya rAAV-transgenleveransvektorkapsider kännetecknas i allmänhet av ett fokus på antingen rationell design av AAV-kapsider med specifika mutationer riktade mot specifika cellreceptorer eller riktad evolution för att identifiera kapsider med tropism för specifika celltyper från kombinatoriska kapsidbibliotek med hög komplexitet utan att rikta in sig på en specifik receptor (även om vissa grupper kombinerar dessa tillvägagångssätt)13, 14,15. I den riktade evolutionsmetoden konstrueras kombinatoriska kapsidbibliotek med hjälp av en särskild serotypryggrad med muterade variabla regioner på kapsidens utsida16. Kombinatoriska kapsidbibliotek är ofta konstruerade av AAV-serotyper som inte har sitt ursprung hos människor, vilket minskar risken för redan existerande immunitet vid klinisk användning10. Därför är reningsmetoder som kan tillämpas på alla serotyper idealiska för att eliminera behovet av serotypspecifik optimering för de mindre vanliga serotyperna som fungerar som ryggrad för dessa bibliotek.
Iodixanol densitetsgradientcentrifugering används för att rena höga titrar av rAAV med hög infektionsförmåga17. I detta protokoll produceras rAAV i suspensionscellodling för att minska mängden arbete som behövs för att producera stora titrar av AAV. Ett centrifugeringssteg ingår också för att rensa celllysat för att minska förekomsten av kontaminerande proteiner och minska risken för virusutfällning. Detta protokoll är en kostnadseffektiv metod för att producera preparat med rAAV med hög renhet som är lämpliga för preklinisk användning.

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

Detta protokoll beskriver produktion och rening av rekombinant adenoassocierat virus (rAAV) genom jodixanolgradientcentrifugering, en serotypagnostisk metod för rening av AAV som först beskrevs 1999. rAAV-vektorer används ofta i genterapiapplikationer för att leverera transgener till olika mänskliga celltyper. I detta arbete produceras det rekombinanta viruset genom transfektion av Expi293-celler i suspensionsodling med plasmider som kodar för transgenen, vektorkapsiden och adenovirala hjälpargener. Iodixanol densitetsgradientcentrifugering renar fulla AAV-partiklar baserat på partikeldensitet. Dessutom ingår tre steg i denna nu allestädes närvarande metod för att öka det totala virusutbytet, minska risken för utfällning på grund av kontaminerande proteiner och ytterligare koncentrera den slutliga virusprodukten: utfällning av viruspartiklar från cellmedia med hjälp av en lösning av polyetylenglykol (PEG) och natriumklorid, införandet av en andra omgång av jodixanolgradientcentrifugering, och buffertutbyte via ett centrifugalfilter. Med hjälp av denna metod är det möjligt att konsekvent uppnå titrar i intervallet 1012 viruspartiklar/ml med exceptionell renhet för in vivo-användning .

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.

Suspensionsodlingsproduktion och rening av adenoassocierat virus genom jodixanol densitetsgradientcentrifugering för in vivo-applikationer

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.

Denna metod kan användas för att erhålla titrar på minst 1012 viruspartiklar per ml. En titer kan erhållas (figur 3) genom qPCR med hjälp av de ITR-primrar som anges i tilläggstabell 1, genom ddPCR eller genom någon annan titreringsmetod. Suboptimala titrar kan bero på att man använder en kapsylgen som kodar för en kapsid med dålig förpackningseffektivitet.
En annan möjlig källa till suboptimala resultat är den ...

Vi använder en riktad evolutionsmetod för att identifiera adenoassocierade viruskapslar med högre tropism för mänskliga celltyper. Genom denna forskning strävar vi efter att producera rekombinanta adenoassocierade virala vektorer med förbättrad målcellstransduktion och klinisk relevans inom genterapiområdet. Vår grupp avvisade nyligen flera AAV-serotyper från levern genom att införliva kapsidrester som härstammar från en AAV-serotyp som naturligt har minskad levertropism.Om det framgångsrikt utvidgas till ytterligare serotyper utgör detta grunden för att minska den nödvändiga kliniska RAAV-dosen genom perifer injektion och minska negativa patientresultat. IODIXanol-reningsmetoden är visserligen kostnadseffektiv, men svår att skala upp. Dessutom, i nedströmstillämpningar, utförs den riktade evolutionsmetoden med djurmodeller eller in vitro.Kapsid som isolerats genom riktad evolution kan därför inte transducera in vivo-mål i människa i samma utsträckning som i prekliniska modeller. Detta protokoll är prisvärt och tillgängligt för mindre laboratorier. Dessutom ger denna metod rekombinant adenoassocierat virus med hög renhet som kan användas för prekliniska in vivo-tillämpningar nedströms.

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.
