Popis: Recombinant adenovirus (rAdV) is a commonly used vector system for gene transfer. Efficient initial packaging and subsequent production of rAdV remains time-consuming and labor-intensive, possibly attributable to rAdV infection-associated oxidative stress and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Here, we show that exogenous GAPDH expression mitigates adenovirus-induced ROS-associated apoptosis in HEK293 cells, and expedites adenovirus production. By stably overexpressing GAPDH in HEK293 (293G) and 293pTP (293GP) cells, respectively, we demonstrated that rAdV-induced ROS production and cell apoptosis were significantly suppressed in 293G and 293GP cells. Transfection of 293G cells with adenoviral plasmid pAd-G2Luc yielded much higher titers of Ad-G2Luc at day 7 than that in HEK293 cells. Similarly, Ad-G2Luc was amplified more efficiently in 293G than in HEK293 cells. We further showed that transfection of 293GP cells with pAd-G2Luc produced much higher titers of Ad-G2Luc at day 5 than that of 293pTP cells. 293GP cells amplified the Ad-G2Luc much more efficiently than 293pTP cells, indicating that exogenous GAPDH can further augment pTP-enhanced adenovirus production. These results demonstrate that exogenous GAPDH can effectively suppress adenovirus-induced ROS and thus accelerate adenovirus production. Therefore, the engineered 293GP cells represent a superfast rAdV production system for adenovirus-based gene transfer and gene therapy.
