Outline of Final Research Achievements

We aimed to generate an innovative non-toxic herpes simplex virus (HSV) -based vector capable of neuro-specific delivery of therapeutic genes. Here, we demonstrated that chromatin insulator-like elements in the terminal repeat (TR) locus of non-toxic HSV viral genome play a crucial role in the transcription from the TR locus in neural cells. In addition, the modification of the chromatin insulator-like elements significantly improves the transgene expression from the TR locus. Our results would provide the sophisticated neural-specific gene transduction system with non-toxic HSV vector.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

現在のウイルス製剤開発において最重要課題のひとつは標的組織特異的治療遺伝子の送達である。多くのウイルスベクターでは非特異的な遺伝子導入の抑制が不完全であり、未だ高精度な標的化遺伝子導入システムは存在しない。一方、我々は既にHSV糖タンパク質gD改変(細胞侵入を制御)及びにmiRNA認識配列(翻訳を制御)の利用による非特異的遺伝子導入抑制技術を確立している。これに本研究で着目するTR制御配列による標的細胞特異的転写制御技術(転写を制御)を融合すれば、極めて高精度な細胞標的化が可能となる。従って本研究成果は神経疾患に対するウイルス製剤を開発する上で理想的なプラットフォームを提供すると考えられる。
