Previously we reported fiber-modified adenovirus (Ad) vectors containing the Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) motif on the HI loop of the fiber knob (Ad-RGD vectors) have high gene transfer efficacy into some human trophoblast cell lines. In the current study, we investigate transgene activity of Ad-RGD during differentiation of human cytotrophoblast BeWo cells into syncytiotrophoblast-like cells. Although cellular differentiation into syncytiotrophoblast cells was followed by a decrease in the coxsackievirus and adenovirus receptor levels on the cell membrane, the αVβ3 and αVβ5 integrin levels did not change. Conventional adenovirus vector had lower transduction activity in the differentiated cells than non-differentiated cells. In contrast, Ad-RGD vector had no influence on differentiation and had a ca. 2—5 fold higher transduction activity than that of the conventional Ad vector. Thus, Ad-RGD vector can be a powerful tool for gene transfer experiments in syncytiotrophoblast cells.
