OBJECTIVE: Ex vivo lung perfusion has emerged as a platform for organ preservation, evaluation, and restoration. Gene delivery using a clinically relevant adeno-associated vector during ex vivo lung perfusion may be useful in optimizing donor allografts while the graft is maintained physiologically active. We evaluated the feasibility of adeno-associated vector-mediated gene delivery during ex vivo lung perfusion in a rat transplant model. Additionally, we assessed off-target effects and explored different routes of delivery.
METHODS: Rat heart-lung blocks were procured and underwent 1-hour ex vivo lung perfusion. Before ex vivo lung perfusion, 4e11 viral genome luciferase encoding adeno-associated vector 9 was administered via the left bronchus (Br group, n = 4), via the left pulmonary artery (PA group, n = 3), or directly into the circuit (Circuit group, n = 3). Donor lungs in the Control group (n = 3) underwent ex vivo lung perfusion without adeno-associated vector 9. Only the left lung was transplanted. Animals underwent bioluminescence imaging weekly before being killed at 2 weeks. Tissues were collected for luciferase activity measurement.
RESULTS: All recipients tolerated the transplant well. At 2 weeks post-transplant, luciferase activity in the transplanted lung was significantly higher among animals in the Br group compared with the other 3 groups (Br: 1.1 × 106 RLU/g, PA: 8.3 × 104 RLU/g, Circuit: 3.8 × 103 RLU/g, Control: 2.5 × 103 RLU/g, P = .0003). No off-target transgene expression was observed.
CONCLUSIONS: In this work, we demonstrate that a clinically relevant adeno-associated vector 9 vector mediates gene transduction during ex vivo lung perfusion in rat lung grafts when administered via the airway and potentially the pulmonary artery. Our preliminary results suggest a higher transduction efficiency when adeno-associated vector 9 was delivered via the airway, and delivery during ex vivo lung perfusion reduces off-target effects after graft implant.
