Treatment of a metabolic liver disease by in vivo prime editing in mice

ABSTRACT: Prime editing is a highly versatile CRISPR-based genome editing technology with the potential to correct the vast majority of genetic defects1. However, correction of a disease phenotype in vivo in somatic tissues has not been achieved yet. Here, we establish proof-of-concept for in vivo prime editing, that resulted in rescue of a metabolic liver disease. We first develop a size-reduced prime editor (PE) lacking the RNaseH domain of the reverse transcriptase (SpCas9-PERnH), and a linker- and NLS-optimized intein-split PE construct (SpCas9-PE p.1153) for delivery by adeno-associated viruses (AAV). Systemic dual AAV-mediated delivery of this variant in neonatal mice enables installation of a transversion mutation at the Dnmt1 locus with 15% efficiency on average. Next, we targeted the disease-causing mutation in the phenylalanine hydroxylase (Pah)enu2 mouse model for phenylketonuria (PKU). Correction rates of 1.5% using the dual AAV approach could be increased to up to 14% by delivery of full-length SpCas9-PE via adenoviral vector 5 (AdV5), leading to full restoration of physiological blood phenylalanine (L-Phe) levels below 120 µmol/L. Our study demonstrates in vivo prime editing in the liver at two independent loci, emphasizing the potential of PEs for future therapeutic applications.

A truncated reverse transcriptase enhances prime editing by split AAV vectors

Project description:To investigate if the truncated PE can be dilivered by dual AAV8 vectors for in vivo prime editing. We injected the dual AAV8 into 10-week-old C57BL/6J mice . Livers were isolated 4 weeks after injection and next generation sequencing showed an average of 1.4% and 5.4% precise prime editing with the low and high AAV doses, respectively (Figure 4D ). This demonstrates that PECO-Mini can be efficiently delivered by dual AAVs for in vivo prime editing.

Enhancing Precise Genome Editing in Human Pluripotent Stem Cells through Dual Inhibition of DNA Damage Response and Repair Pathways [RNA-seq]

Project description:Precise genome editing is crucial for establishing isogenic human disease models and ex vivo stem cell therapy from the patient-derived human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs). Unlike Cas9-mediated knock-in, cytosine base editor (CBE) and prime editor (PE) achieve the desirable gene correction without inducing DNA double strand breaks. However, hPSCs possess highly active DNA repair pathways and are particularly susceptible to p53-dependent cell death. These unique characteristics impede the efficiency of gene editing in hPSCs. Here, we demonstrate that dual inhibition of p53-mediated cell death and distinct activation of the DNA damage repair system upon DNA damage by CBE or PE additively enhanced editing efficiency in hPSCs. The BE4stem system comprised of dominant negative p53 (p53DD) and three UNG inhibitor (UGI), engineered to specifically diminish base excision repair (BER), improved CBE efficiency in hPSCs. Addition of dominant negative MLH1 to inhibit mismatch repair activity and p53DD in the conventional PE system also significantly enhanced PE efficiency in hPSCs. Thus, combined inhibition of the unique cellular cascades engaged in hPSCs upon gene editing could significantly enhance precise genome editing in these cells.

A multi-functional AAV-CRISPR-Cas9 and its host response

Project description:CRISPR-Cas9 delivery by AAV holds promise for gene therapy but faces critical barriers due to its potential immunogenicity and limited payload capacity. Here, we demonstrate genome engineering in postnatal mice using AAV-split-Cas9, a multi-functional platform customizable for genome-editing, transcriptional regulation, and other previously impracticable AAV-CRISPR-Cas9 applications. We identify crucial parameters that impact efficacy and clinical translation of our platform, including viral biodistribution, editing efficiencies in various organs, antigenicity, immunological reactions, and physiological outcomes. These results reveal that AAV-CRISPR-Cas9 evokes host responses with distinct cellular and molecular signatures, but unlike alternative delivery methods, does not induce detectable cellular damage in vivo. Our study provides a foundation for developing effective genome therapeutics mRNA-Seq from muscles (9 samples; 3 mice x 3 conditions) and lymph nodes (9 samples; 3 mice x 3 conditions).

Mutation-specific reporter for optimization and enrichment of prime editing

Project description:Prime editing is a versatile genome-editing technique that shows great promise for the generation and repair of patient mutations. However, some genomic sites are difficult to edit and optimal design of prime-editing tools remains elusive. Here we present a fluorescent prime editing and enrichment reporter (fluoPEER), which can be tailored to any genomic target site. This system rapidly and faithfully ranks the efficiency of prime edit guide RNAs (pegRNAs) combined with any prime editor variant. We apply fluoPEER to instruct correction of pathogenic variants in patient cells and find that plasmid-editing enriches for genomic editing up to 3-fold compared to conventional enrichment strategies. DNA repair and cell cycle-related genes are enriched in the transcriptome of edited cells. Stalling cells in the G1/S boundary increases prime editing efficiency up to 30%. Together, our results show that fluoPEER can be employed for rapid and efficient correction of patient cells, selection of gene-edited cells, and elucidation of cellular mechanisms needed for successful prime editing.

Precise editing of pathogenic nucleotide repeat expansion in iPSCs without inducing DNA double-strand breaks using a prime editor [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Nucleotide repeat expansion disorders, a group of genetic diseases characterized by the expansion of specific DNA sequences, pose significant challenges to treatment and therapy development. Here, we present a precise and programmable method called prime editor–mediated correction of nucleotide repeat expansion (PE-CORE) for correcting pathogenic nucleotide repeat expansion. PE-CORE leverages a prime editor and paired pegRNAs to achieve targeted correction of repeat sequences. We demonstrate the effectiveness of PE-CORE in HEK293T cells and patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Specifically, we focus on spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy and spinocerebellar ataxia type, two diseases associated with nucleotide repeat expansion. Our results demonstrate the successful correction of pathogenic expansions in iPSCs and subsequent differentiation into motor neurons. Specifically, we detect distinct downshifts in the size of both the mRNA and protein, confirming the functional correction of the iPSC-derived motor neurons. These findings highlight PE-CORE as a precision tool for addressing the intricate challenges of nucleotide repeat expansion disorders, paving the way for targeted therapies and potential clinical applications.

Genotoxic effects of base and prime editing in human hematopoietic stem cells [RNAseq_PrimeEd]

Project description:Emerging base and prime editing may provide safer and more precise genetic engineering than nuclease-based approaches bypassing the dependence on DNA double strand breaks (DSBs). However, little is known about cellular responses and genotoxicity. Here, we comparatively assessed state-of-the-art base and prime editors (B/PE) versus Cas9 in human hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs). BE and PE induced detrimental transcriptional responses constraining editing efficiency and/or HSPC repopulation in xenotransplants, albeit to a lesser extent than Cas9. DNA DSBs and their genotoxic byproducts, including deletions and translocations, were less frequent but not abrogated by BE and PE, particularly for cytidine BE due to suboptimal inhibition of base excision repair. Tailoring timing and B/PE expression enabled highly efficient and precise editing of long-term repopulating HSPCs. However, we uncovered a genome-wide effect of BEs on the mutational landscape of HSPCs, raising concerns for a potential genotoxic impact and calling for further investigations and improvements in view of clinical application.
