Adeno-associated viral (AAV) vectors have demonstrated great
utility for long-term gene expression in muscle tissue. However, the
mechanisms by which recombinant AAV (rAAV) genomes persist in muscle
tissue remain unclear. Using a recombinant shuttle vector, we have
demonstrated that circularized rAAV intermediates impart episomal
persistence to rAAV genomes in muscle tissue. The majority of circular
intermediates had a consistent head-to-tail configuration consisting of
monomer genomes which slowly converted to large multimers of >12 kbp
by 80 days postinfection. Importantly, long-term transgene expression
was associated with prolonged (80-day) episomal persistence of these
circular intermediates. Structural features of these circular
intermediates responsible for increased persistence included a DNA
element encompassing two viral inverted terminal repeats (ITRs) in a
head-to-tail orientation, which confers a 10-fold increase in the
stability of DNA following incorporation into plasmid-based vectors and
transfection into HeLa cells. These studies suggest that certain
structural characteristics of AAV circular intermediates may explain
long-term episomal persistence with this vector. Such information may
also aid in the development of nonviral gene delivery systems with
increased efficiency.
