A TLR- and non-TLR-mediated innate response to lentiviruses restricts hepatocyte entry and can be ameliorated by pharmacological blockade

ABSTRACT: Lentiviral vector (LV)-mediated gene transfer is a promising method of gene therapy. We previously reported that systemic injection of LV triggers a transient inflammatory response. Here, we carried out studies to better characterize this response, and to develop a strategy to overcome the effects of interferon (IFN) on LV-mediated gene transfer. We profiled gene expression in the liver after LV administration using deep-sequencing, and identified several innate response pathways. We examined the response to LV in MyD88-TRIF knock-out mice, which are incapable of toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling. The IFN response to LV was not reduced in the liver, indicating that a non-TLR pathway can recognize LV in this tissue. Indeed, blocking reverse-transcription with AZT reduced the IFN response only in the liver, suggesting that proviral DNA can be a trigger. To block the inflammatory response, we pre-treated mice with a short-course of dexamethasone. At 4 hours post-treatment, all of the IFN-induced genes were normalized. By blocking the inflammatory response, hepatocyte transduction was dramatically increased, which doubled the level of human factor-IX produced by a hepatocyte-specific LV. Our studies uncover new insights into LV-induced immune responses in the liver, and provide a means to increase the safety and efficiency of LV-mediated gene transfer.

Project description:Inflammatory response plays a bidirectional regulatory role in myocardial infarction (MI). TLR signaling pathway plays an important role in the development of inflammation. Additionally, we discovered that CCRR is an anti-arrhythmic lncRNA in a prior work. Here we show, it is decreased in mice with 3-day MI followed by a sharp increase of pro-inflammatory cytokines and activation of the TLR pathway. Overexpression of CCRR could effectively inhibit the inflammatory response, reduce the infarct area, and improve cardiac function. And also reduced hypoxia-induced inflammation in cardiomyocytes and macrophages induced by IFN and LPS. It produced a similar protective effect in cardiomyocytes co-cultured with macrophages. Through microarray analysis, RNA-binding protein immunoprecipitation analysis, and other related experiments verification, TLR2 and TLR4 may be as potential targets of CCRR after MI. Our findings provide the evidence that lncRNA CCRR plays a key cardioprotective role against MI injury by targeting the TLR signaling pathway. nflammatory response plays a bidirectional regulatory role in myocardial infarction (MI).
