Regulated control of gene therapies by drug induced splicing

ABSTRACT: RNA Seq datasets from HEK293 cells treated with 25nM LMI070 To date, gene therapies for human application rely on engineered promoters that cannot be finely controlled. Here, we report a universal switch element that allows precise control for gene replacement or gene silencing after exposure to a small molecule. Importantly, these small molecule inducers are in human use, are orally bioavailable when given to animals or humans, and can reach both peripheral tissues and the brain. Moreover, the switch system (Xon) does not require the co-expression of any regulatory proteins. Using Xon, translation of desired elements for controlled gene replacement or editing machinery occurs after a single oral dose, and the robustness of expression can be controlled by drug dose and with repeated drug exposure. The ability of Xon to provide temporal control of protein expression can be adapted to cell biology applications and animal studies. Additionally, due to the oral bioavailability and safety of the drugs employed, the Xon switch provides an unprecedented opportunity to refine gene therapies for more appropriate human application.

Project description:A Cytotoxic T lymphocyte-inspired system capable of using ultralow-dose chemical drugs to manipulate cell death is needed to investigate the antitumour immunotherapy. Recent studies revealed pyroptosis, a proinflammatory type of cell death, could promote antitumour immune function. However, high-dose chemotherapy led to cytokine release syndrome by pyroptosis. Therefore, pyroptosis- inducing ultralow-dose chemotherapy was potential in preclinical and clinical research, but its efficacy, safety and the antitumour immune responses were not clear. Here, we established a near-infrared light controllable killing system (BIK system) by which ultralow-dose doxorubicin could be spatiotemporally transported to immunosuppressive tumour cells and mediate efficient pyroptosis. Compared with using DOX directly, the BIK system reduced total drug consumption to less than one- thirtieth the common dose in vitro. MPI imaging and fluorescence imaging showed our BIK system exhibited good tumour targeting and tumour penetration. We applied this system for pyroptosis-induced antitumor therapies, and the results showed that less than 43 µg kg-1 DOX was sufficient for GSDME-positive tumour regression with negligible injuries to major organs. Notably, the gasdermin-deficient 4T1 tumours could be controlled by combining BIK system with decitabine treatment. The antitumour immune function were proven to correlate with the impressive efficacy of pyroptosis-inducing ultralow-dose chemotherapy, and the concomitant immune memory prevented metastasis, but high-dose DOX led to poor T cells infiltration which caused immunosuppression and lung metastasis. Owing to the robust antitumour immune function induced by BIK system, advanced-stage bulky tumours could be controlled or shrunken by synergizing with anti-PD-1 therapy. This study provided new insights into the design of nanoassisted systems for activating the antitumour immune function by microstimulation; our application of the BIK system suggested that ultralow-dose chemotherapy was sufficient for inducing a robust pyroptosis-mediated antitumour immune function
