An autoregulatory bidirectional expression cassette encoding all components necessary for regulated gene expression in a one-step gene transfer was evaluated for use in adenoviral vectors. Adenoviral vectors transducing this cassette provide about 1000-fold regulation. Regulation could be further improved by integrating the cassette as a retroviral vector into the adenoviral backbone. Moreover, with these adeno/retroviral hybrid vectors, the frequency of chromosomal integration is enhanced and about 1% of infected cells show stable chromosomal integration of the autoregulated cassette. In these stably transduced cells high regulation capacity is maintained. To elucidate the molecular mechanism underlying this unexpected observation we investigated the regulation capacity of these cassettes in a viral and non-viral vector background after stable integration into the host's DNA. While naked cassettes show regulated expression that is strongly influenced by the chromosomal surrounding sequences the regulatory capacity of LTR flanked cassettes is highly comparable amongst different cell clones. This strict regulation with little influence from the flanking sequences is obtained when LTR-flanked cassettes are transduced as DNA, by retroviral or by adenoviral infection.
