Griesenbach U, Alton EWFW, Inoue M, Hasegawa Met al., 2010, Viral vectors for cystic fibrosis gene therapy: What does the future hold?, Virus Adaptation and Treatment, Vol: 2, Pages: 159-171

Gene transfer to the airway epithelium has been more difficult than originally anticipated, largely because of significant extra- and intracellular barriers in the lung. In general, viral vectors are more adapted to overcoming these barriers than nonviral gene transfer agents and are, therefore, more efficient in transferring genes into recipient cells. Viral vectors derived from adenovirus, adeno-associated virus, and Sendai virus, which all have a natural tropism for the airway epithelium, have been evaluated for cystic fibrosis (CF) gene therapy. Although these vectors transduce airway epithelial cells efficiently, gene expression is transient and repeated dministration is inefficient. They are, therefore, unlikely to be suitable for CF gene therapy. More recently, lentiviruses (LV) have been assessed for lung gene transfer. In contrast to retroviruses, they transduce nondividing cells and randomly integrate into the genome. However, LVs do not have a natural tropism for the lung, and a significant amount of effort has been put into seudotyping these vectors with proteins suitable for airway gene transfer. Several studies have shown that LV-mediated transduction leads to persistent gene expression (for the lifetime of the animal) in the airways and, importantly repeated administration is feasible. Thus, appropriately pseudotyped LV vectors are promising candidates for CF gene therapy. Here, we will review preclinical and clinical research related to viral CF gene therapy. © 2010 Griesenbach et al, publisher and licensee Dove Medical Press Ltd.
