Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is a cytokine that induces the proliferation of
certain IL-2 receptor expressing quiescent cells. Human IL-2 was fused
to the amino-terminus of amphotropic murine leukemia virus (MLV)
envelope glycoproteins. Retroviral vectors were pseudotyped with both
the IL-2 chimeric envelope and the wild-type amphotropic MLV envelope.
The chimeric IL-2 glycoproteins were incorporated on retroviral vectors
and the IL-2-displaying vector particles could bind specifically to
cell surface IL-2 receptors. In addition, the IL-2-displaying vectors
could infect proliferating cells through amphotropic receptors
irrespective of whether the cells expressed the IL-2 receptor.
IL-2-displaying vector particles could also transiently stimulate the
cell cycle entry and proliferation of several IL-2-dependent cell
lines. Finally, retroviral vectors displaying IL-2 could efficiently
transduce G0/G1-arrested cells expressing the IL-2 receptor at a
34-fold higher efficiency compared with vectors with unmodified
envelopes. This new strategy, whereby C-type retroviral vector
particles display a ligand that activates the cell cycle of the target
cells at the time of virus entry, may represent an alternative to
lentivirus-derived retroviral vectors for the infection of quiescent
cells. In addition, upon infection of an heterogeneous population of
nonproliferating cells, MLV-retroviral vectors that display
cytokines/growth factors will allow the transgene of interest to be
integrated specifically in quiescent cells expressing the corresponding
cytokine/growth factor receptor.
