Macrophage Inhibitor Clodronate Enhances Liver Transduction of Lentiviral but Not AAV Vectors or mRNA Lipid Nanoparticles In Vivo
HUMAN GENE THERAPY(2023)
摘要
Recently approved adeno-associated viral (AAV) vectors for liver monogenic diseases hemophilia A and B are exemplifying the success of liver-directed viral gene therapy. In parallel, additional strategies are rapidly emerging to overcome some inherent AAV limitations, such as non-persistence of episomal transgene in rapidly growing liver and immune response. Integrating lentiviral vectors and non-viral lipid nanoparticles encapsulating mRNA (LNP-mRNA) are rapidly being developed, currently at preclinical and clinical stages respectively. Macrophages are first effector cells of the innate immune response triggered by gene therapy vectors. Macrophage uptake and activation following administration of viral gene therapy and LNPs has been reported. In this study, we assessed the biodistribution of AAV, lentiviral and LNP-mRNA gene therapy following inhibition of tissue macrophages by clodronate liposomes in neonatal and juvenile mice. Juvenile clodronate-treated mice showed significant increase of lentiviral-transduced hepatocytes, and increasing trend of transduction was shown in neonatally-injected mice. In contrast, AAV- and LNP-mRNA-treated neonatal and juvenile animals did not show significant increase of liver biodistribution following clodronate administration. These findings will have translational application for liver-targeting gene therapy programmes.### Competing Interest StatementThe authors have declared no competing interest.
