No. 6,399,433, filed on Oct. 23, 2003, and which are incorporated herein in their entireties.

[0002] (Reference to electronically submitted sequence listing) This application is filed under the file name "14620-192-228_SEQ_LISTING" and Created on July 16, 2020, with a size of 152,403 bytes in ASCII format. Sequence listings submitted electronically via EFS-Web as sequence listings for formulas. - The sequence listing submitted via the web is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. INCORPORATED INTO THE SPECIFICATION. [Background technology]

[0003] Adeno-associated virus (AAV) contains two inverted terminal repeats at the ends of the A linear single-stranded DNA (single-stranded DNA) with inverted terminal repeats (ITRs) The ITR contains two viral genes, rep (replication) and cap (capsid) are adjacent, These encode nonstructural and structural proteins, respectively. It expresses four regulatory proteins through the use of two promoters and alternative splicing. It encodes Rep78, Rep68, Rep52, and Rep40. More specifically, Rep78 and Rep68 are transcribed from the P5 promoter, whereas Rep40 and Rep52 is transcribed from the P19 promoter (which is involved in the Rep78 and Rep68 readings). The P5 and P19 promoters are integrated into the adenovirus E1A HEK transformed with the adenovirus E1 gene activated by the gene These Rep proteins are active in cells such as 293. The cap gene is involved in three transcription factors through alternative splicing and translation initiation. The capsid protein, VP1 (virion protein 1, The protein 1, VP2, and VP3 assemble to form the spherical vesicle of the virus. The AAV virus does not encode a polymerase, so genome replication is It relies on cellular polymerases for synthesis.

[0004] The AAV rep and cap genes can be stably integrated into the cell or expressed intracellularly. mammalian, if capable of being maintained and later induced to produce AAV in high density culture. Large-scale production of AAV in cells may be possible. However, expression of Rep proteins may be cytotoxic or cytostatic to host cells, such as HEK293 cells. In a host in which the rep gene is expressed, such as one that expresses the adenovirus E1 gene This makes it difficult to develop stable cell lines. AAV contains two promoters and an alternating sequence. Four Rep proteins with overlapping reading frames resulting from the use of splicing Since it encodes the rep gene, the use of an inducible promoter to control rep gene expression is straightforward. isn't it.

[0005] The cytotoxic or cytostatic properties of the four Rep proteins are similar to those of the native rep / c Development of stable cell lines capable of producing high titers of AAV using the ap promoter (Clark et al. (1995) Hum. Gene Ther. 6 :1329-1341, Chadeuf et al. (2000) J. Gene me d.2:260-268). Several groups have attempted to recombinationally regulate Rep expression. Yang replaced the P5 promoter with the mouse metallothionein promoter. Stable clones in HEK293 showed metal-inducible rep78 expression, Rep50 and rep42 expression (driven by an internal P19 promoter) was expressed at low levels. The cells were only detected in the control group and the cell growth rate was substantially decreased (Yang et al. 994) J. Virol 68:4847-4856). Ogasawara is a The promoter contains loxP-flanked stuffers that can be activated by Cre recombinase. The promoters of the rep52, rep40, or cap genes were replaced with ubiquitous promoters. None of these were induced in stable clones infected with adenovirus-Cre. suggested that constitutive rep52 / rep40 expression was also detrimental to cells ( Ogasawara et al.(1999)J.Gen.Virol.80:247 7-2480).

[0006] Another approach for regulated rep expression was described by Xiao and coworkers. (Qiao et al. (2002) J. Virol. 76:1301 5-13027, Yuan et al. (2011) Hum.Gene Ther.2 2:613-624). Xiao is the coding region shared by all four Rep proteins. An artificial intron was inserted into the rep gene in the The loxP-flanked stop cassette was used alone or in combination with the puromycin resistance gene puromycin. The expression of all Rep proteins was inhibited in HEK293 cells. This allows the generation of stable cell lines in the presence of Cre recombinase. The adenovirus infection induces the stop cassette by recombining the loxP sites. The remaining end is then excised, allowing the full-length pre-mRNA to be transcribed. The Rep sequence is precisely removed by RNA splicing to produce all four Rep proteins. thus restoring the coding sequence of AAV from the integrated ITR-flanked transgene. However, Cre recombinase recognizes two identical loxP sites, Since the loxP sites recognize Additional recombinations may be possible to catalyze both the binding and excision reactions.

[0007] The AAV rep gene is expressed in cells that also express the adenovirus E1 (early region 1) gene. Several stable rep / cap cell lines are available, including HeLa (Clark et al(1995)Hum.Gen.Therap.6:1329-1341, Y ang et al. (1994) J. Virol. 68:4847-4856, Gao et.Al(1998)Hu,Gen.Ther.9:2353-2362), A54 9 (Gao et al. (2002) Mol Ther. 5:644-659), and Vero (Beal et al. (2007) 10 th Annual Meeting g of American Society of Gene Therapy,Se Attle, WA, May 30-June 3, 2007) expressing the E1 gene. The biggest drawback to these cell lines is that they lack E1 intact. A (usually replication-competent) adenovirus is required for AAV production, which is why AAV viruses As a contaminant of the drug preparation, it may pose an increased safety risk.

[0008] Provide helper functions and deliver recombinant transgenes and / or AAV genes to human cells To identify herpes (Thomas et al. (2009) Hum Gene The er.20:861-70, Clement et al. (2009) Hum Gen e Ther.20:796-806), vaccinia virus (Wang et al. (2017)Mol.Ther.Methods Clin Devel.7:146- 155), and adenovirus (Fisher et al. (1996) Hum ge ne Ther.7:2079-2087, Gao et al. (1998) Hum Gene Ther.2353-2362.Liu et al.(1999)Gene Ther 6:293-299) using several different viruses, including AA V production systems have been described. These approaches have been used to In some cases, production of recombinant host cell lines is required. AAV is produced by baculovirus It has also been produced in insect cells using the method (Mietzsch et al. (2014) H um Gene Ther.25:212-22, Aslanidi et al.(2 009)Proc Natl Acad Sci USA.106:5059-5064 , Cecchini et al. (2011) Hum Gene Ther.22:1 021-1030). Are AAVs produced in insect cells versus human cells functionally equivalent? Whether this is the case remains an open question. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0076] The above summary and the following detailed description of preferred embodiments of the present application should be taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The present application will be better understood upon reading the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that there is no limitation to the precise embodiment. [Figure 1]FIG. 1 shows alignment statistics and sequence alignment of a putative serine recombinase identified in the genome of Bacillus safensis strain CCMA-560 (SEQ ID NO:2, Sbjct) with a length of 535 amino acids, sequence ID: WP_029708089.1, with the SPBetac2 integrase protein (SEQ ID NO:1, query). The two proteins have 64% sequence identity at the protein level ranging from amino acids 1 to 529. This putative serine recombinase is referred to herein as SR21 (serine recombinase 21). [Diagram 2] Identification of strains representing the pre-insertion locus: The whole-genome shotgun sequence of Bacillus safensis strain Fairview contig56_1 (Sbjct) with a length of 568093 nucleotides, nucleotides 464352 to 464839 of sequence ID: NZ_JFBY01000018.1, and the alignment statistics and sequence alignment with the CCMA-560 DNA sequence (query) are shown. [Diagram 3] The SR21 recombinase attP and attB sites are shown. The attP and attB sites are organized in dyad symmetry around a central dinucleotide recombination crossover site (underlined). Half sites are numbered. Spaces have been introduced into the attB sequence to show alignment of sequences predicted to be bound by the zinc ribbon domain (ZD) and recombinase domain (RD) extrapolating from previous studies (Rutherford et al. (2013) Nucleic Acids Res. 41:8341-8356). Residues that are identical in three or four of the ZD or RD domains are in bold. The attP (SEQ ID NO:7) alignment to two alternating attB sequences (SEQ ID NO:8) and (SEQ ID NO:9) is shown. [Figure 4]Illustrates recombinase activation of reporter genes. Plasmid P41 encodes two reporter gene transcripts. The first, driven by the EF1α promoter, is constitutively active and encodes a fusion protein between green fluorescent protein (GFP) and Renilla luciferase linked by a self-cleaving F2A peptide linker. The second transcript, driven by CMV, contains an SR21 recombinase attB site (SEQ ID NO: 9), followed by an inverted fusion protein coding region encoding mCherry and firefly luciferase linked by a P2A self-cleaving peptide linker, and an SR21 attP site. Neither luciferase nor mCherry is expressed because they are in opposite orientations relative to the promoter. When SR21 recombinase is expressed, the attB and attP sequences are recombined, which results in the inversion of the reporter gene and the expression of firefly luciferase and mCherry.

Unlike Cre, SR21 uses attP and a Recognizes the ttB site. After the binding reaction catalyzed by SR21, attP and attB The sites are recombined and destroyed so that further recombination is not possible. The method of the present application may be more efficient than that catalyzed by Cre.

[0126] As used herein, an "intron" refers to a sequence that can be removed by RNA splicing. "RNA splicing" is broadly defined as the sequence of nucleotides that make up the mature RNA. As used herein, the term refers to the excision of introns from pre-mRNA to form pre-mRNA. As used herein, an "artificial intron" refers to an intron that is not a naturally occurring intron of a gene, but is It refers to a sequence of nucleotides that is nevertheless removable by RNA splicing. For example, an "artificial intron" is a naturally occurring intron with an inserted stop cassette. It could be.

[0127] Introns, including artificial introns, are 5' splice sites or junctions, splice accesses, It contains the septa or branch point, and the 3' splice site or splice junction. The term "splice site" or "5' splice junction" refers to a junction located within a gene or nucleic acid. The 5' end of the RNA fragment is located between the 3' end of the fragment and the 5' end of the intron. The exon-intron sequence includes a consensus sequence at the 5' end of the intron required for intron-binding The term "splice acceptor" or "branch point" refers to the location of a splice junction. helps form the lariat structure during the first transesterification reaction during NA splicing, A nucleotide located approximately 20-50 bp from the 3' splice site, usually an adenosine The term "3' splice site" or "3' splice junction" refers to a junction that is Between the 5' end of the 3' fragment of a gene or nucleic acid fragment and the 3' end of an intron, The exon also contains a consensus sequence at the 3' end of the intron that is required for splicing. The term "consensus sequence" refers to the position of an intron-intron junction in an RNA sequence. Within either the 5' or 3' splice junction required for splicing and / or The term refers to the nucleotides adjacent to it, and these sequences are usually either invariant or highly variable. or stored in

[0128] Analysis of a large number of mRNAs has revealed that certain nucleotides are typical of introns and splices. For example, the nearly invariant bases in the introns are conserved at the junctions of the The 5' and 3' conserved regions are 5'-GU and 3'-AG. Bases are often found with unusual (non-random) frequency. Branch point adenosine, usually , and 20–50 bases from the 3' splice site are also conserved. Gao et al. (2008) Nuc See Figure 4 in Leic Acids Research 36:2257-2267. The entire contents of Gao et al. (2008) are hereby incorporated by reference. However, within the introns, which can range in length from 40 to 50,000 bases, The central region is generally not necessary for splicing to occur. Exons are removed from the RNA or pre-mRNA as lariat structures by the endosome. Pricing proceeds via two successive transesterification reactions.

[0129] The insertion of an intron into an expression sequence can be accomplished by any method known in the art. The context of the flanking exons, as well as the actual intron sequence used, will result in a new "intron" sequence. This plays a role in whether or not a "trantron" is efficiently spliced ​​out. Introns suitable for the invention are sequenced in silico and have online splice predictions. Use a program that gives a high enough score for efficient RNA splicing It can be tested by finding combinations of rep gene sequences and intron sequences. Introns, either in genomic or synthetic sequences, may be used in the constructs of the present invention in light of this disclosure. It can be tested and optimized for use.

The modified AAV rep gene, AAV cap gene, and ITRs are obtained by The flanking transgenes may be stably integrated into the host cell or may remain episomal. It could be.

[0160] Stable host cells were transfected with adenovirus expressing the serine recombinase prior to infection. , and can grow to high cell densities.

[0161] In light of the present disclosure, one or more of the serine glycoproteins of the present application may be synthesized using any method known in the art. A replication-deficient adenovirus expressing the recombinant adenovirus is introduced into a stable host cell. In an embodiment, the replication-deficient adenovirus has an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2 and at least 85 % identical, preferably 100% identical to SEQ ID NO:2. A recombinant ΔE1 / ΔE3 adenovirus serotype 5 (Ad5) virus containing the .DELTA.E1 / .DELTA.E3 sequence. For example, the adenovirus has a sequence at least 85% identical to SEQ ID NO: 3, preferably SEQ ID NO: The nucleic acid sequence may comprise a nucleotide sequence which is at least 95% identical to SEQ ID NO:3.

[0162] As disclosed herein, the present disclosure also provides a method for treating a cell as described herein with 2 aminopurine. Methods and compositions for increasing AAV production by contact with (2-AP) In the later stages of the adenoviral life cycle, the virus binds to the host protein This is due in part to the inhibition of cap initiation complex eIF4F to Mnk1 kinase. , leading to dephosphorylation of eIF4E and inhibition of cap-dependent mRNA translation. It is caused by the action of late adenovirus 100-kilodalton (kDa) proteins (e.g. See, for example, Cuesta (2004), J. Virology 78:7707-7716. (See references below.) Adenovirus late gene transcripts are expressed in a manner known as ribosome shunting. They contain tripartite leader sequences at their 5' ends that facilitate translation by a specific mechanism (e.g., See, for example, Yueh (2000) Genes Dev 14:414-421. In the context of AAV-producing cell lines, inhibition of cap-dependent translation is mediated by AAV REP and CAP. Early adenoviral proteins required for gene expression, and AAV replication and packaging Thus, in some embodiments, the cells are To increase the efficiency of AAV-producing cell lines using virus inducers, host proteins They are incubated with a chemical that blocks translation arrest.

[0163] In certain embodiments, the chemical that blocks host protein translation termination is 2-aminopurine. 2-AP is a host protein induced by adenovirus. It has been shown that the cessation of synthesis of ribozymes is blocked by ribozymes (e.g., Zhang and Schnei der(1994) J. Virology 68:2544-2555, Huang a See Schneider (1990) PNAS 87:7115-7119. Treatment of AAV-producing cells with 2-AP inhibits the production of 2-AP, which is normally degraded by late infection. It is possible to reduce the cytopathic effects of infection, including restoration of the cytokeratin network. (Zhang and Schneider (1994) J. Virology 68:2544-2555). 2-AP inhibits the RNA-dependent protein kinase PKR ( karyotic translation initiation factor 2 alpha kinase 2 (eukaryotic translati on initiation factor 2 alpha kinase 2), E It inhibits a number of kinases in vitro, including IF2AK2 (also known as DeB enedetti(1983)J Biol Che,258:14556-14562 ) and phosphorylation of eIF-2α following intracellular PKR activation and adenovirus infection. It was not possible to block it (Huang and Schneider (1990) P NAS 87:7115-7119). 2-AP did not increase mRNA levels. Early adenovirus DNA-binding protein n, DBP) levels increased 10-20 fold (Huang and Schneider (1990)PNAS 87:7115-7119), and its effect on cap-dependent translation It matches.

[0164] Thus, in some embodiments, a method for producing a recombinant AAV comprising a transgene is provided. In some embodiments, the method comprises culturing a cell of the present disclosure with 2-aminopurine. In some embodiments, the 2-aminopurine concentration is less than about 10 mM.

In some embodiments, the cells of the present disclosure are subsequently contacted with 2-aminopurine. Approximately 20 hours after infection with the adenovirus, the subject is exposed to 2-aminopurine. In one embodiment, the cells of the present disclosure express 2-aminobutyric acid at approximately 12 hours after infection with the recombinant adenovirus.

SR21 recombinase encodes attP and Upon recombination of the attB signal, the coding region is inverted into the sense orientation, expressing mCherry -P2A-fLUC protein is expressed (see FIG. 4).

[0185] To measure SR21 recombinase activity in human cells, 75,000 HEK 293 cells were plated in 96-well plates in 100 μL of high glucose DMEM + 10% fetal bovine serum. The recombinase reporter plasmid (P041 ) ± SR21 recombinase expression plasmid (P175) + deoxynucleotides (DN A) were added to OptiMEM medium containing Fugene- Triplicate cells were seeded and complexed with HD transfection reagent for 15 min at room temperature.

[0190] Construction of REP / CAP+ transgene plasmid The AAV replication (REP) and capsid (CAP) genes are stably integrated into cells. in mammalian cells, where they can be subsequently induced to produce AAV in high-density cultures. Large-scale production of AAV may be possible. However, expression of the REP protein may result in toxicity. and may be a RE such as one expressing the adenovirus E1 gene, such as HEK293 cells. This makes it difficult to develop stable cell lines in hosts in which the P gene is expressed. AAV types contain overlapping genomes that arise from the use of two promoters and alternative splicing. The transcription factor α encodes four REP proteins in a transcriptional codon. The use of inducible promoters to control the expression of genes is not straightforward. Previous studies have used artificial introns. A "stop cassette" was inserted into the REP coding region in the HEK293 stable cell line. They demonstrated that it is possible to produce β-lactam esters in cells (Qiao et al. (200 2) J. Virol.76:13015, Yuan et al. (2011) Hum Gene Therapy. 22:613-624). Delivered by adenovirus infection. Excision of the stop cassette using Cre recombinase restores REP expression and inhibits the IT In this example, the ITRs initiated AAV replication of the transgene flanked by Rs. In association with the REP / CAP expression cassette in the plasmid containing the gene, the recombinase An improved version of the activated REP gene was constructed.

A suitable position was selected for inserting the gene into the REP coding region. In the common region, nucleotide number 105 of AAV2 (NC_001401.2) An intron was inserted downstream of 2. Both the intron and the insertion position were as described in Qiao et al. (2002) J.

[0218] Measurement of levels of mispackaged DNA The sequences encoding the AAV REP or CAP genes and the plasmids used during production Prokaryotic sequences derived from the vector are non-specifically packaged into AAV particles and May pose potential safety risks when used in gene therapy (e.g., Sch nodt and Buning,Hum Gene Ther Methods.,2 017;28(3):101-108). The risk is This includes the generation of replication-competent AAV, capsid gene expression, and the induction of cytotoxic T lymphocyte responses. Triggering immune system recognition of prokaryotic sequences resulting in an inflammatory response and / or gene silencing The encapsidation rates were 2%, 0.4%-1.0%, and 1.3%-6.3%, respectively. The rep, cap and prokaryotic sequences are transfected by triple transfection or Purified recombinant AAV preparations produced from producer cell lines have been reported (Nony et al. (2003) J. Virology 77:776-781, Gao et al. (2008) Molecular Therapy 16:S105, Chaudeu f et al. (2005)Molecular therapy 12:744-7 53).

[0219] To determine the level of mispackaging associated with the above production systems, The presence of four sequences (outside the transgene flanked by ITRs) in the injected vector The amounts were determined by ddPCR: a) P5 promoter, b) AAV REP gene, c ) the AAV9 CAP gene, and d) the beta-lactamase (ampicillin resistance) gene. Purified virus preparations from the 20 and 40 MOI Hyperflask cultures described above were incubated for 3 h at 4 °C for 3 min. The clones were digested with DNAse in parallel, serially diluted in VDB, and subjected to ddPCR. The concentration of viral particles containing the mCherry transgene was calculated as the percentage of AAV particles containing the mCherry transgene. The highest encapsidation rate of 0.04% was observed in the A virus preparation. The P5 promoter in the preparation was from the P5 promoter in the recombinant adenovirus that was infected (20 M However, the AAV yield was much higher in preparation B (40 M The P5 encapsidation rate in the OI was only 0.007%. , and ampicillin gene sequences were equal to or less than 0.00. 7% to 0.009%, which is the percentage of recombinant hemophilia B gene therapy trials Previously reported results for four clinical lots of AAV2 ranged from 0.016% to 0.021%. capsid formation rate was lower than that of capsid formation rate of capsid 1 (Hauck et al. (2009) Mol Therefore, recombinant AAV The methods described herein for producing and purifying ribozymes are needed for clinical gene therapy programs. This results in a very low percentage of mispackaged DNA, consistent with what can be achieved.

The cells were seeded into T75 flasks and incubated at 37°C. The cells were then incubated at 4°C for 48 hours. The cells were detached using a cell scraper. Transfer the cells to a 15 mL centrifuge tube and centrifuge at 1500 rpm for 10 minutes to separate the cells. Pelleted. Trizol Plus RN with Phase-maker tubes RNA was purified from cell pellets using a Purification Kit.

[0224] To remove any contaminating DNA, 31 μg of RNA was diluted with DNA in 1× digestion buffer. Treat with 1 μL of DNAse from the A-Free kit for 30 min at 37°C. 1 μL of DNAse inactivation slurry was added and the samples were incubated for 2 min. The RNA samples were centrifuged at 10,000 x g for 5 minutes and the RNA was transferred to fresh sterile Transferred to a tube.

[0225] RNA was synthesized using SuperScript III First Strand Synthesis The reverse transcription was performed using the esis system. 80 μg of RNA, 1 μL of 50 μM oligo-D Mix 1 μL of 10 mM dNTPS and 1 μL of 10 mM dNTPS in a sterile tube and incubate at 65° C. for 5 min. Incubate on ice for 2 minutes. Add 10 μL of 2× mixture (2× RT buffer, 10 mM MgCl2, 20 mM dithiothreitol, 0.5 μL RNAse-out, and 0 A mock PCR reaction was performed except that the reverse transcriptase was replaced with water. The reactions were identical. Reactions were incubated at 50°C for 50 min and on ice for 2 min. 1 μL of RNAse H was added and the samples were incubated at 37° C. for 20 minutes.

[0226] A 50 μL PCR reaction consisted of 1 μL reverse transcribed RNA, 25 μL Q5 Hot Star t High-Fidelity 2x Master Mix and 0.5μM The reactions were thermocycled as follows: 98°C 1 min; 35 cycles of (98°C 10 s, 69°C 10 s, 72°C 36 s); 7 cycles of 5 min 2°C.

[0227] 5 μL of the reaction was run on a 1% agarose gel in 1× TAE buffer and ethidium bromide. Bands were visualized under blue light illumination on a Dark Reader transluminator. The excised fragments were purified using Nucleospin gel and PCR clean-up kits. DNA was recovered from the band that was detected by cycle sequencing and dye-terminator amplification. Using the gene expression system, PCR primers were used to generate the The sequence was determined by the National Institute of Genomics (NIG) at 14:45–47.

[0228] result: PCR reactions from mock RT templates did not produce detectable products, indicating that genomic DNA A was eliminated from the RNA sample. Primer AAVRT-F1 (SEQ ID NO: PCR using P349R9 (SEQ ID NO: 62) and P349R9 (SEQ ID NO: 63) revealed that the stop cassette was P43 Two transcripts with similar fluorescence intensities were derived from the spliced ​​transcripts after excision from 9. PCR products were generated. One product contained an engineered beta-actin splice donor. Splices at the acceptor and acceptor sites (SEQ ID NO: 14 and SEQ ID NO: 15, respectively; FIG. 8). The second product was generated from lysis of the donor in the 5'REP gene (SEQ ID NO: 64). It results from splicing between this site and the downstream beta-actin acceptor (Figure 8). This splicing event removes 64 bp of the REP coding sequence relative to wild-type AAV2. This is predicted to create a frameshift and produce a truncated REP protein. By mutating the splice donor site upstream of These results suggest that AAV production can be made more efficient by increasing the expression of ribosomal protein.

[0229] Updated AAV construct: P600 (SEQ ID NO: 70) Several modifications were made to plasmid P439 (SEQ ID NO: 12) to create construct P600 (SEQ ID NO: 13). First, the splice donor site of the REP gene upstream of the stop cassette was obtained. Briefly, the splice identified in the 5'REP sequence (SEQ ID NO:64) were mutated. The nucleotides GT at the donor site were mutated to AT (SEQ ID NO: 65). To eliminate splicing at this site without altering the REP protein sequence, It is predicted that this will happen.

[0230] The REP / CAP gene is packaged into the AAV capsid after excision of the stop cassette. In order to reduce the possibility of this happening, a 2 kb random sequence (SEQ ID NO: 66) was designed and The engineered insert was inserted downstream of the tB sequence and upstream of the actin splice acceptor. The size of the gene was increased. Potential splice sites were identified using the NetGene 2 software. The insertion was identified and removed using the method described above. The size of the REP / CAP gene was increased, which resulted in a 5.0 kb AAV packaging region. Well above the limit.

[0231] Sequences flanking the AAV ITRs can also be amplified during transgene rescue from the genome. Based on the hypothesis that , , can be mispackaged into the AAV capsid (e.g., Sc hnodt and Buning,Hum Gene Ther Methods. 2017;28(3):101-108), two random 2kb non-codons The spacer elements flank the transgene to prevent potential mispackaged DNA. One element (SEQ ID NO: 67) was inserted into the left AAV I A second (SEQ ID NO: 68) replaced mouse anti-repressor element 4 was inserted upstream of TR. 0 (SEQ ID NO:25) was inserted downstream of the right AAV ITR.

[0232] In addition, the cap gene was an AAV9 variant (e.g., Hinderer et al.,Hum Gene Ther.2018;29(3):285-298 Please refer to.

[0233] Finally, the coding sequence of the transgene flanked by the ITRs of P439 was transfected with mCherry-I SEQ ID NO:69, which encodes the RES-SEAP (secreted alkaline phosphatase) protein was replaced by.

[0234] The complete sequence of the resulting construct, P600, is disclosed in SEQ ID NO: 70 and an exemplary plasmid is shown in FIG. Shown in Figure 9.

Through selection, stable pools were generated. Cells were cultured for 6 weeks before assaying for AAV production. The cells were passaged at a ratio of 1:10.

[0236] 2.5E6 P600-PEAK-Rapid p6 cells were cultured in 5 mL of DMEM+10 Three T25 flasks were seeded in 10% FBS and incubated at 37° C. for 3 days. The cell density on the day of staining was determined by harvesting the cells with TrypLE and counting using trypan blue exclusion. In one of the flasks, 6.6E6 viable cells were determined. The medium in the other flask was then replated with 2.6E8 Ad5-CMV-SR21 viral particles containing The flasks were then incubated at 32°C for 24 hours. 1 mL of 1.25 mM 2-aminopurine in DMEM + 2% FBS was added to 1 mL of DMEM + 2% FBS was added to one flask. 1 mL of DMEM + 2% FBS was added to the other flask. Both flasks were incubated for an additional 7 days at 32° C. The medium was harvested from the flasks and Cells and debris were pelleted by centrifugation at 3,000 rpm for 5 minutes. The supernatant was subjected to DNAse digestion and ddPCR quantification using the mCherry assay described above. It was used for transformation.

AAV virus production is CAP-dependent. 2-aminobutyric acid, a drug reported to block adenovirus-induced inhibition of dependent mRNA translation It increased 2.5-fold in the presence of aminopurine (e.g., Zhang and Schnei der (1994) J. Virology 68:2544-2555, and Huang See Schneider and Schneider (1990) PNAS 87:7115-7119. Treatment with 10 mM 2-AP 1-2 hours after infection significantly improved the survival of cells infected with adenovirus. It has been reported that it blocks the cell degenerative effect and is non-toxic for at least 3 days (e.g. Zhang and Schneider (1994) J. Virology 68 :2544-2555, and Huang and Schneider (1990) PN AS 87:7115-7119), and in our AAV-producing cell line, Because it is inhibitory to AV production, it is These data suggest that the late adenovirus gene program, especially ca Inhibiting p-dependent mRNA translation arrest increases AAV production in producer cell lines These results suggest that this may be a useful strategy to

[0239] Production of recombinant adeno-associated virus (AAV) in human cells is based on AAV replication (REP) ) and capsid (CAP) genes, adenovirus genes, and AAV inverted terminal repeats AAV-packageable transgene consisting of an expression cassette flanked by sequences (ITRs) All three components are required for expression on separate plasmids for AAV production. Although it is possible to deliver the nucleotides to cells, existing transfection methods are not feasible for scaling up to large-scale cultures. It is difficult to integrate some of these elements into a host cell line. Although production can be made more efficient, some of the AAV and adenovirus genes Some of these are cytostatic or cytotoxic, limiting this approach.
