Glial Promoter Selectivity following AAV-Delivery to the Immature Brain
Open accessAbstract
Recombinant adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors are versatile tools for gene transfer to the central nervous system (CNS) and proof-of-concept studies in adult rodents have shown that the use of cell type-specific promoters is sufficient to target AAV-mediated transgene expression to glia. However, neurological disorders caused by glial pathology usually have an early onset. Therefore, modelling and treatment of these conditions require expanding the concept of targeted glial transgene expression by promoter selectivity for gene delivery to the immature CNS. Here, we have investigated the AAV-mediated green fluorescent protein (GFP) expression driven by the myelin basic protein (MBP) or glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) promoters in the developing mouse brain. Generally, the extent of transgene expression after infusion at immature stages was widespread and higher than in adults. The GFAP promoter-driven GFP expression was found to be highly specific for astrocytes following vector infusion to the brain of neonates and adults. In contrast, the selectivity of the MBP promoter for oligodendrocytes was poor following neonatal AAV delivery, but excellent after vector injection at postnatal day 10. To extend these findings obtained in naïve mice to a disease model, we performed P10 infusions of AAV-MBP-GFP in aspartoacylase (ASPA)-deficient mouse mutants presenting with early onset oligodendrocyte pathology. Spread of GFP expression and selectivity for oligodendrocytes in ASPA-mutants was comparable with our observations in normal animals. Our data suggest that direct AAV infusion to the developing postnatal brain, utilising cellular promoters, results in targeted and long-term transgene expression in glia. This approach will be relevant for disease modelling and gene therapy for the treatment of glial pathology.

“While the Mbp promoter holds promise for potential clinical applications, its murine origin, relative big size and poor specificity following neonatal vector delivery, are potential caveats (von Jonquieres et al., 2013).”

“To date, the only cellular promoter used for AAV-mediated transgene expression in oligodendrocytes is the murine 1.9 kb Mbp cis-regulating element and a truncated version spanning the proximal 1.3 kb upstream region including parts of Mbp exon 1 (Chen et al., 1998; Lawlor et al., 2009; von Jonquieres et al., 2013).”

“Preclinical proof-of-concept studies showing successful modification of the AAV system towards selective transgene expression in oligodendrocytes used “neurotropic” serotypes but employed the promoter of the mouse myelin basic protein (Mbp) gene (Chen et al., 1998; Lawlor et al., 2009; von Jonquieres et al., 2013).”

In the citing paper
“Although a comparison between the transduction profiles of the vectors carrying the MAG promoter (this study) and the Mbp promoter (von Jonquieres et al., 2013) is not feasible, it appears that in neonates the MAG promoter might be better suited for transgene expression targeted to oligodendrocytes (90%) than the Mbp promoter (25%).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
