Apoa1, a safe harbor locus for therapeutic genome editing in the liver

ABSTRACT: Clinical application of somatic genome editing requires therapeutics that are generalizable to a broad range of patients. Targeted insertion of promoterless transgenes can ensure that edits are permanent, broadly applicable, while minimizing risks of off-target integration. In the liver, the Albumin locus is currently the only well characterized site for promoterless transgene insertion. Using an unbiased ChIP-seq approach, we here identify Apolipoprotein a1 (Apoa1) as one of the most highly expressed and accessible loci in mouse and human liver. We target the Apoa1 locus with Adeno-Associated Viral (AAV) delivery of CRISPR/Cas9, and achieve rates of 6 to 16% with no evidence of toxicity. We further show that the endogenous Apoa1 promoter can drive robust and sustained expression of therapeutic proteins such as factor IX (FIX) or apolipoprotein E (APOE). Finally, we demonstrate that Apoa1-targeted fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase (FAH) can correct and rescue the severe metabolic liver disease hereditary tyrosinemia type I. In summary, we identify and validate Apoa1 as novel safe harbor site for genome editing therapeutics.

Genomic and epigenomic characterization of regenerating hepatocytes

Project description:To gain a deeper understanding of the genetic basis of liver repopulation after injury, we utilize an innovative technique to profile the expression changes and chromatin landscape during the regenerative response. We utilize the Fah-/- mouse, a model for hereditary tyrosinemia deficient in fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase (FAH), that undergoes repopulation with FAH-expressing hepatocytes. We employ translating ribosome affinity purification followed by RNA-sequencing (TRAP-seq) and assay for transposase accessible chromatin using sequencing (ATAC-seq) to specifically isolate regenerating hepatocytes and performed high-throughput sequencing to identify the dynamic genomic and epigenomic changes during liver repopulation.

Global gene expression profiles of mouse ESCs, disease-specific iPSCs, and gene-corrected iPSCs

Project description:The use of patient-derived induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells as treatment for genetic diseases entails genetic repair or transfer of genetic information as a prerequisite. We have chosen the murine model of tyrosinemia type 1 (fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase deficiency; FAH(-/-) mice) as a paradigm for hereditary metabolic liver disorders and evaluated fibroblast-derived FAH(-/-)-iPS cell lines as targets for gene correction. By aggregating FAH(-/-)-iPS cells with tetraploid embryos, we obtained FAH-/--iPS cellâderived mice, which exhibited the phenotype of the founding FAH(-/-)-mice. We then rescued the diseased phenotype by lentiviral transduction of FAH-cDNA and performed embryo aggregation with these gene-corrected FAHgc-iPS cells to obtain viable healthy mice. Our results demonstrate that iPS cell technology is a valid approach to establish mouse disease models directly from somatic cells bearing genetic defects. Furthermore, established iPS cell lines can be genetically manipulated without loss of pluripotency for treatment of genetic diseases. 6 samples: 1 MEF, 1ESC, 4 iPSCs

Gene expression profiling of Fah- and Hgd-deficient mouse livers upon short-term nitisinone discontinuation

Project description:Hereditary tyrosinemia type 1 (HT1) is a severe genetic disorder that affects the liver due to a defective fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase (Fah) enzyme in hepatocytes. The drug nitisinone (NTBC) has offered a life-saving treatment for HT1 patients by inhibiting the upstream enzyme 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPD). We used microarray analyses to to identify changes in molecular pathways associated to the development and progression of the liver pathogenesis of HT1 that remain uncorrected under NTBC therapy by using gene expression profiling of Fah-deficient mouse livers subjected to continuous NTBC therapy and after seven days of NTBC therapy discontinuation. As a control of a TIMD without hepatic manifestation, we used the Hgd-deficient mouse model of AKU, also under continuous NTBC treatment and after seven days of NTBC therapy discontinuation. Consequently, we identified a set of 25 genes that discriminates HT1 livers from AKU livers, even under continuous NTBC therapy, as such representing remnants of an HT1-driven residual uncorrected liver disease phenotype.

Low serum apolipoprotein A1 impairs antitumor immunity of CD8+ T cells via the HIF-1α-glycolysis pathway

Project description:An immunosuppressive microenvironment plays a major role in the occurrence and development of tumors. Low apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1) is closely related to tumor development, but the underlying mechanisms are unclear. This study investigated the association between the serum ApoA1 level and immune microenvironment in endometrial, ovarian, and lung cancers. The serum ApoA1 level was decreased significantly in patients with endometrial and ovarian cancers compared with healthy controls. In endometrial cancer tissues, the low serum ApoA1 group showed increased CD163+ macrophages and decreased CD8+ T cell infiltration compared with the normal serum ApoA1 group. Compromised tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cell functions and decreased CD8+ T cell infiltration were also found in tumor-bearing ApoA1-knockout mice. CD8+ T cell depletion experiments confirmed that ApoA1 exerted its antitumor activity in a CD8+ T cell-dependent manner. In vitro experiments showed that ApoA1 mimetic peptide L-4F directly potentiated the antitumor activity of CD8+ T cells via the HIF-1α-mediated glycolysis pathway. Mechanistically, ApoA1 suppressed the ubiquitin-mediated degradation pathway of HIF-1α protein by downregulating HIF-1α subunit α inhibitor, which maintained the stability of HIF-1α protein and HIF-1α signal activation. Tumor-bearing ApoA1 transgenic mice showed an increased response to anti-PD-1 therapy with inhibited tumor growth and increased tumor necrosis. Here, the data demonstrate the critical roles of ApoA1 in enhancing CD8+ T cell immune functions via HIF-1α-mediated glycolysis, which supports clinical investigation of combined ApoA1 supplementation and anti-PD-1 therapy for tumors.

Intestine-specific activation of LXR via low-dose oral administration of GW3965

Project description:Generation of high density lipoprotein (HDL) requires apoA1 and the cholesterol transporter ABCA1. Although the liver generates most HDL in blood, small intestines also can synthesize HDL. However, distinct functions for intestinal HDL are unknown. Here we designed intestine-specific activation of LXR via low-dose administration of GW3965, LXR agonist. The liver status was improved by therapeutics that elevated and depended upon intestinal HDL production via GW3965. Thus, protection of the liver from injury in response to gut-derived signals like LPS is a major function of intestinally synthesized HDL.

In vivo lentiviral vector gene therapy to cure hereditary tyrosinemia type 1 and prevent development of precancerous and cancerous lesions

Project description:Conventional therapy for hereditary tyrosinemia type-1 (HT1) with 2-(2-nitro-4- trifluoromethylbenzoyl)-1,3-cyclohexanedione (NTBC) delays and in some cases fails to prevent disease progression to liver fibrosis, liver failure, and activation of tumorigenic pathways. Here we demonstrate for the first time a cure of HT1 by direct, in vivo administration of a therapeutic lentiviral vector targeting the expression of a human fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase (FAH) transgene in the porcine model of HT1. This therapy was well tolerated and provided stable long-term expression of FAH in pigs with HT1. Genomic integration displayed a benign profile, with subsequent fibrosis and tumorigenicity gene expression patterns similar to wild-type animals as compared to NTBC-treated or diseased untreated animals. Indeed, the phenotypic and genomic data following in vivo lentiviral vector administration demonstrate comparative superiority over other therapies including ex vivo cell therapy and therefore support clinical application of this approach.

Single cell gene expression profile of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) cells from Apoa1-/- and Apoa1+/+ mice challenged with LPS and house dust mite

Project description:Neutrophils play important roles in inflammatory airway diseases. Here, we assessed whether apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) modifies neutrophil heterogeneity as part of the mechanism by which it attenuates acute airway inflammation. Neutrophilic airway inflammation was induced by daily intranasal administration of LPS plus house dust mite (LPS+HDM) to Apoa1-/- and Apoa1+/+ mice for 3 days. Single cell RNA sequencing was performed on cells recovered in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) on day 4. Unsupervised profiling identified 10 clusters of neutrophils in BALF from Apoa1-/- and Apoa1+/+ mice. LPS+HDM-challenged Apoa1-/- mice had an increased proportion of the Neu4 neutrophil cluster that expressed S100a8, S100a9, and Mmp8, and had high maturation, aggregation, and TLR4 binding scores. There was also an increase in the Neu6 cluster of immature neutrophils, whereas neutrophil clusters expressing interferon-stimulated genes were decreased. An unsupervised trajectory analysis showed that Neu4 represented a distinct lineage in Apoa1-/- mice. LPS+HDM-challenged Apoa1-/- mice also had an increased proportion of recruited airspace macrophages, which was associated with a reciprocal reduction in resident airspace macrophages. Increased expression of a common set of pro-inflammatory genes, S100a8, S100a9, and Lcn2, was present in all neutrophils and airspace macrophages from LPS+HDM-challenged Apoa1-/- mice. Apoa1-/- mice have increases in specific neutrophil and macrophage clusters in the lung during acute inflammation mediated by LPS+HDM, as well as enhanced expression of a common set of pro-inflammatory genes. This suggests that modifications in neutrophil and macrophage heterogeneity contribute to the mechanism by which apoA-I attenuates acute airway inflammation.
