Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Use of cyclosporin H (CsH) or a derivative thereof for increasing the efficiency of transduction of an isolated population of cells by a viral vector and/or increasing the efficiency of gene editing of an isolated population of cells when transduced by a viral vector.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1 . A method of transducing a population of CD34+ HSPCs comprising the steps of: (a) culturing the population of HSPCs in the presence of UM171; (b) contacting the population of HSPCs with cyclosporin H (CsH); and (c) transducing the population of HSPCs with a viral vector, wherein the viral vector is a lentiviral or gammaretroviral vector, and wherein the viral vector is pseudotyped to enter cells via an endocytosis-dependent mechanism. 2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the viral vector is a VSV-g pseudotyped vector. 3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the viral vector is a lentiviral vector. 4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the viral vector is an integration-defective lentiviral vector (IDLV). 5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the HSPCs are stimulated HSPCs. 6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the population of HSPCs is cultured in step (a) in the further presence of StemRegenin 1 (SR-1). 7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the population of HSPCs is cultured in step (a) in the further presence of prostaglandin E2. 8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the prostaglandin E2 is 16-16 dimethyl prostaglandin E2. 9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the viral vector comprises a nucleotide of interest. 10 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the nucleotide of interest is a donor template. 11 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises the step: (d) contacting the population of HSPCs with a CRISPR/Cas system. 12 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the CRISPR/Cas system comprises a ribonucleoprotein (RNP) comprising Cas protein and gRNA. 13 . The method of claim 11 , wherein step (d) comprises electroporating the population of HSPCs. 14 . The method of claim 1 , wherein efficiency of transduction of the population of HSPCs by the viral vector is increased and/or efficiency of gene editing of the population of HSPCs when transduced by the viral vector is increased. 15 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the percentage of cells transduced by the viral vector is increased and/or the vector copy number per cell is increased. 16 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the method is carried out in vitro or ex vivo. 17 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the CsH is at a concentration of about 1-50 μM. 18 . The method of claim 1 , comprising a further step of enriching the population for CD34+/CD38-cells. 19 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the method comprises the steps of: (a) culturing the population of HSPCs in the presence of UM171; (b) contacting the population of HSPCs with CsH; (c) transducing the population of HSPCs with an IDLV comprising a donor template; (d) contacting the population of HSPCs with a CRISPR/Cas system. 20 . The method of claim 19 , wherein the CRISPR/Cas system comprises a ribonucleoprotein (RNP) comprising Cas protein and gRNA. 21 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the HSPCs are from umbilical cord blood, mobilized peripheral blood, or bone marrow. 22 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the HSPCs are CD34+CD38-HSPCs.
