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

ABSTRACT: 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.

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

Project description: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.

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.

No observable guide-RNA-independent off-target mutation induced by prime editor [TargetSeq]

Project description:Prime editor (PE) has been recently developed to induce efficient and precise on-target editing, whereas its guide RNA (gRNA)-independent off-target effects remain unknown. Here, we used whole-genome and whole-transcriptome sequencing to determine gRNA-independent off-target mutations in cells expanded from single colonies, in which PE generated precise editing at on-target sites. We found that PE triggered no observable gRNA-independent off-target mutation genome-wide or transcriptome-wide in transfected human cells, highlighting its high specificity.

Improved split prime editors enable efficient in vivo genome editing [Amplicon_Seq_in_vitro]

Project description:Prime editor (PE) is a precise genome-editing tool capable of all possible base conversions, as well as insertions and deletions without DSBs or donor DNA. The efficient delivery of PE in vivo is critical for realizing its full potential in disease modeling and therapeutic correction. Although PE has been divided into two halves and delivered using dual adeno-associated viruses (AAVs), editing efficiency at different gene loci varies among split sites, and efficient split sites within Cas9 nickase are limited. In this study, by screening multiple split sites, we demonstrated a series of efficient split site when delivering PE by dual-AAV. Additionally, we utilized a feature reported by others recently that RNase could be detached from the Cas9n and designed split sites in the first half of Cas9n. To test the editing efficiency in vivo, a novel dual-AAV split-ePE3 was packaged in AAV9 and delivered via tail vein injection in mice, achieving 24.4% precise genome editing 3 weeks post-injection. Our findings establish an alternative split-PE architecture that could achieve robust gene editing efficiency, facilitating the potential utility both in model organisms and as a therapeutic modality.

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.

iPSC derived motor neuron cultures from C9ORF72 carriers

Project description:Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a severe neurodegenerative condition characterized by loss of motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord. Expansions of a hexanucleotide repeat (GGGGCC) in the noncoding region of the C9ORF72 gene are the most common cause of the familial form of ALS (C9-ALS), as well as frontotemporal lobar degeneration and other neurological diseases. How the repeat expansion causes disease remains unclear, with both loss of function (haploinsufficiency) and gain of function (either toxic RNA or protein products) proposed. We report a cellular model of C9-ALS with motor neurons differentiated from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) derived from ALS patients carrying the C9ORF72 repeat expansion. No significant loss of C9ORF72 expression was observed, and knockdown of the transcript was not toxic to cultured human motor neurons. Transcription of the repeat was increased, leading to accumulation of GGGGCC repeat–containing RNA foci selectively in C9-ALS iPSC-derived motor neurons. Repeat-containing RNA foci colocalized with hnRNPA1 and Pur-?, suggesting that they may be able to alter RNA metabolism. C9-ALS motor neurons showed altered expression of genes involved in membrane excitability including DPP6, and demonstrated a diminished capacity to fire continuous spikes upon depolarization compared to control motor neurons. Antisense oligonucleotides targeting the C9ORF72 transcript suppressed RNA foci formation and reversed gene expression alterations in C9-ALS motor neurons. These data show that patient-derived motor neurons can be used to delineate pathogenic events in ALS. Transcriptome profiling from iPSC derived motor neurons compared to controls
