dc.description.abstract | Overview summary Transgene expression can be eliminated even in the presence of substantial amounts of vector DNA in the transduced cells, which suggests that mechanisms other than the antigen-specific immune response may mediate non-cytodestructive events that determine the presence of transgene expression. Our data indicate that the cytokines interferon-γ) (IFN-γ) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) inhibit transgene expression from certain widely used viral promoters/enhancers (human cytomegalovirus immediate early, Rous sarcoma virus long terminal repeat, simian virus 40, Moloney murine leukemia virus long terminal repeat) delivered by adenoviral, retroviral, or plasmid vectors in vivo. Inhibition is at the mRNA level and cytokines do not cause vector DNA degradation, inhibit total cellular protein synthesis, or kill infected/transfected cells. Thus, cytokine-regulated promoter function rather than specific immune destruction could limit transgene expression. These results have significant implications for the construction of transfer vectors for human gene therapy because gene transfer vectors could be exposed to a cytokine-rich environment when they are administered in vivo. | en_US |
