Background Cystic fibrosis is a monogenic disease that derangesmultiple systems of ion transport in the airways, culminatingin chronic infection and destruction of the lung. The introductionof a normal copy of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductanceregulator (CFTR) gene into the airway epithelium through genetransfer is an attractive approach to correcting the underlyingdefects in patients with cystic fibrosis. We tested the feasibilityof gene therapy using adenoviral vectors in the nasal epitheliumof such patients.
Methods An adenoviral vector containing the normal CFTR complementaryDNA in four logarithmically increasing doses (estimated multiplicityof infection, 1, 10, 100, and 1000), or vehicle alone, was administeredin a randomized, blinded fashion to the nasal epithelium of12 patients with cystic fibrosis. Gene transfer was quantitatedby molecular techniques that detected the expression of CFTRmessenger RNA and by functional measurements of transepithelialpotential differences (PDs) to assess abnormalities of ion transportspecific to cystic fibrosis. The safety of this treatment wasmonitored by nasal lavage and biopsy to assess inflammationand vector replication.
Results The adenoviral vector was detected in nasal-lavage fluidby culture, the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), or both ina dose-dependent fashion for up to eight days after vector administration.There was molecular evidence of gene transfer by reverse-transcriptasePCR assays or in situ hybridization in five of six patientstreated at the two highest doses. However, the percentage ofepithelial cells transfected by the vector was very low (<1percent), and measurement of PD across the epithelium revealedno significant restoration of chloride transport or normalizationof sodium transport. At the lower doses of vector, there wereno toxic effects. However, at the highest dose there was mucosalinflammation in two of three patients.
Conclusions In patients with cystic fibrosis, adenoviral-vectormediatedtransfer of the CFTR gene did not correct functional defectsin nasal epithelium, and local inflammatory responses limitedthe dose of adenovirus that could be administered to overcomethe inefficiency of gene transfer.
