AbstractThe isolation of the gene responsible for the Cl- ion transport defect in cystic fibrosis (CF) has provided important information about the relationship between the disease pathology and the underlying genetic and biochemical mechanisms. In addition, new areas of investigation and therapy are now possible. Most notably, the isolation of the CF gene, the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) has led to the development of different gene therapy strategies. To circumvent possible complications due to insertional mutagenesis and virally induced immune responses, we have employed Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-based expression vectors for correction of the cAMP-dependent Cl- transport defect associated with CF. A CFTR-containing expression construct under the regulation of the Rous sarcoma virus (RSV) long terminal repeat (LTR) (pREP5/CFTR) was introduced into transformed human airway epithelial cells defective in cAMP-dependent Cl- transport. Transfected cells were assayed for Cl- transport. Transfected cells were assayed for Cl- ion transport by 36Cl- efflux, SPQ, and patch clamp and showed restoration of intact cAMP-dependent transport. CFTR transcription from pREP5/CFTR was detected by Northern hybridization. The level of response to agonists appeared to be dependent on the level of CFTR expression. When cells were tested for functional expression of CFTR after removal of selection pressure, they showed a continuous decrease in responsiveness to forskolin as a function of time after removal of selection. This decreased correlated with a loss of CFTR mRNA and in the loss of CFTR mRNA and in the loss of the pREP5/CFTR. After 12 to 15 weeks growth without selection both cAMP-dependent Cl- transport and plasmid-derived CFTR mRNA were not detectable. However, it was still possible to rescue cAMP-dependent Cl- transport in these transfected cells by reselection suggesting the presence of the CFTR containing plasmid in a portion of the cells. Analysis of DNA indicated that the pREP5/CFTR vector copy number was reduced from 30 copies per cell with continuous selection, to approximately 0.3 copies per cell after 20 weeks without hygromycin B.
