Abstract:Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive disease caused by mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene that encodes a cAMP-regulated anion channel. Although CF is a multi-organ system disease, most people with CF die of progressive lung disease that begins early in childhood and is characterized by chronic bacterial infection and inflammation. Nearly 90% of people with CF have at least one copy of the ΔF508 mutation, but there are hundreds of CFTR mutations that result in a range of disease severities. A CFTR gene replacement approach would be efficacious regardless of the disease-causing mutation. After the discovery of the CFTR gene in 1989, the in vitro proof-of-concept for gene therapy for CF was quickly established in 1990. In 1993, the first of many gene therapy clinical trials attempted to rescue the CF defect in airway epithelia. Despite the initial enthusiasm, there is still no FDA-approved gene therapy for CF. Here we discuss the history of CF gene therapy, from the discovery of the CFTR gene to current state-of-the-art gene delivery vector designs. While implementation of CF gene therapy has proven more challenging than initially envisioned; thanks to continued innovation, it may yet become a reality.Keywords: history; viral vectors; animal models; clinical trials; adeno-associated virus; adenovirus; lentivirus; retrovirus; non-viral vectors
Cell therapies repair or replace damaged cells or tissue and involve the injection of intact, living cells into a patient. These are either derived from the patient (autologous cell therapy) or a donor (allogeneic cell therapy).
Cell and gene therapies are combined in some techniques, such as ex vivo chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy (figure on the right side). But they can also be utilized entirely independently, for example, in mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy (cell therapy only) and in vivo viral gene transfection (gene therapy only).
Allogeneic cell therapy entails the isolation of cells from a single human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched donor, which is then expanded to treat many different patients. MSCs have been the pioneer cells for such applications, as they are easily accessible, their isolation is straightforward, and they can be biopreserved and stored with minimal loss of potency for point-of-care delivery. Moreover, MSCs have thus far shown no adverse reactions when used in allogeneic therapies to treat cardiovascular, neurological and immunological diseases.
Ex vivo gene therapy (cell-based therapy) involves removing target cells from the body, modifying their genome in vitro and subsequently delivering these cells back to the patient. Ex vivo gene therapy applications have focused on immune cells such as T cells or NK cells to treat vari-ous diseases, particularly cancer.2
Owing to its targeted and personalized nature, ex vivo gene therapy benefits from an improved safety profile. However, cell retrieval and in vitro manipulation can be a costly and intricate process. In vivo gene therapy is potentially more straightforward, but faces challenges such as toxici-ty or the induction of immune responses. 2ff7e9595c
