Twenty-five percent of patients with Diamond-Blackfan anemia have mutations in a gene encoding ribosomal protein S19 (RPS19). Through overexpression of RPS19 using a lentiviral vector with the spleen focus-forming virus promoter, we demonstrated that the Diamond-Blackfan anemia phenotype can be successfully treated in Rps19-deficient mice. In our present study, we assessed the efficacy of a clinically relevant promoter, the human elongation factor 1α short promoter, with or without the locus control region of the β-globin gene for treatment of RPS19-deficient Diamond-Blackfan anemia. The findings demonstrate that these vectors rescue the proliferation defect and improve erythroid development of transduced RPS19-deficient bone marrow cells. Remarkably, bone marrow failure and severe anemia in Rps19-deficient mice was cured with enforced expression of RPS19 driven by the elongation factor 1α short promoter. We also demonstrate that RPS19-deficient bone marrow cells can be transduced and these cells have the capacity to repopulate bone marrow in long-term reconstituted mice. Our results collectively demonstrate the feasibility to cure RPS19-deficient Diamond-Blackfan anemia using lentiviral vectors with cellular promoters that possess a reduced risk of insertional mutagenesis. date: 2017-08-02 date_type: published official_url: http://doi.org/10.1016/j.ymthe.2017.04.002 oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green article_type_text: Journal Article verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1292355 doi: 10.1016/j.ymthe.2017.04.002 pii: S1525-0016(17)30161-2 lyricists_name: Gaspar, Hubert lyricists_id: HBGAS19 actors_name: Gaspar, Hubert actors_name: Stacey, Thomas actors_id: HBGAS19 actors_id: TSSTA20 actors_role: owner actors_role: impersonator full_text_status: public publication: Molecular Therapy volume: 25 number: 8 pagerange: 1805-1814 event_location: United States issn: 1525-0024 citation: Debnath, S; Jaako, P; Siva, K; Rothe, M; Chen, J; Dahl, M; Gaspar, HB; ...
