AAV vectors trigger neurotoxic DNA damage responses and STING-dependent inflammation in human CNS cells [scRNAseq_dataset3]

ABSTRACT: Adeno-associated viral (AAV) vector gene therapy is gaining ground as a treatment option for genetic neurodegenerative diseases tha currently have no cure. Nonetheless, significant toxicity and severe adverse events are emerging in recent clinical trials through mechanisms that remain unclear. We have modelled here AAV-mediated neurotoxicity in the context of the human brain taking advantage of human induced pluripotent stem cell-based technologies. We have used single-cell RNA sequencing technologies to interrogate vector-induced cell-intrinsic innate immune mechanisms that could contribute to neurotoxicity in mixed 2D neuron-glial cultures transduced with AAV vectors at different time-points and harvested at two different time-points.

AAV vectors trigger DNA damage responses and STING-dependent inflammation in human CNS cells

Project description:Adeno-associated viral (AAV) vector-based gene therapy is gaining foothold as a treatment option for a variety of genetic neurodegenerative diseases. Nonetheless, dose-dependent toxicities and severe adverse events are emerging in recent clinical trials through mechanisms that remain unclear. We have modelled here AAV-mediated neurotoxicity in the context of the human brain taking advantage of human induced pluripotent stem cell-based technologies. Our work uncovers vector-induced cell-intrinsic innate immune mechanisms at the single-cell level that contribute to neurotoxicity in 2D and 3D models of the human central nervous system (CNS). The AAV genome triggered p53-dependent DNA damage responses across CNS cell types followed by induction of IL-1R- and STING-dependent inflammatory responses. In addition, transgene-expression led to MAVS-dependent RNA sensing and activation of type I interferon (IFN) signalling. Cell-intrinsic and paracrine neurotoxicity could be prevented by inhibiting p53 or acting downstream on STING- and IL-1R-mediated activation of inflammatory responses. Activation of DNA damage, type I IFN and CNS inflammation were confirmed in vivo. Together, our work sheds significant light on the cell-autonomous innate immune mechanisms of vector sensing that can contribute to AAV-associated neurotoxicity.

mRNA trans-splicing dual AAV vectors for (epi)genome editing and gene therapy

Project description:Large genes including several CRISPR-Cas modules, such as gene activators (CRISPRa), require dual adeno-associated viral (AAV) vectors for efficient in vivo delivery and expression. Current dual AAV vector approaches have important limitations, e.g., low reconstitution efficiency, production of alien proteins, or low flexibility in split site selection. Here, we present a dual AAV vector technology based on reconstitution via mRNA trans-splicing (REVeRT). REVeRT is flexible in split site selection and can efficiently reconstitute different split genes in numerous in vitro models, in human organoids and in vivo. Furthermore, REVeRT can functionally reconstitute a CRISPRa module targeting genes in various mouse tissues and organs in single or multiplexed approaches upon different routes of administration. Finally, supplementation of ABCA4 (6.8 kb) via REVeRT improves retinal degeneration and function in a mouse model of inherited blindness. Due to its flexibility and efficiency REVeRT harbors great potential for basic research and clinical applications.

Precise Genome Editing in vivo with Single, Canonical AAV Vectors. Encoding Guide RNA, Cas9, and Homologous Repair Donor

Project description:Adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors are important delivery platforms for therapeutic genome editing but are severely constrained by cargo limits, especially for large effectors like Cas9s. Simultaneous delivery of multiple vectors can limit dose and efficacy and increase safety risks. The use of compact effectors has enabled single-AAV delivery of Cas9s with 1-3 guides for edits that use end-joining repair pathways, but many precise edits that correct disease-causing mutations in vivo require homology-directed repair (HDR) templates. Here, we describe single-vector, ~4.8-kb AAV platforms that express Nme2Cas9 and either two sgRNAs to produce segmental deletions, or a single sgRNA with an HDR template. We also examine the utility of Nme2Cas9 target sites in the vector for self-inactivation. We demonstrate that these platforms can effectively treat two disease models [type I hereditary tyrosinemia (HT-I) and mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS-I)] in mice. These results will enable single-vector AAVs to achieve diverse therapeutic genome editing outcomes.

Triple vectors expand AAV transfer capacity in the retina

Project description:Maddalena et al. showed that the limited DNA transfer capacity (~4.7kb) of adeno associated viral (AAV) vectors can be expanded up to 14kb with triple AAV vectors for the efficient expression of the therapeutic CDH23 (10.1kb) and ALMS1 (12.5kb) genes.

Liver Single-Cell Transcriptome Analysis of Cell-specific Dysregulation of Liver Cell Biology Following Intravenous Administration of AAV Vectors

Project description:Zhu et al. report the application of single-cell RNA-sequencing technology for profiling the cell-specific transgene expression and transcriptome dysregulation in mouse liver following intravenous administration of AAV vectors. By profiling 46,500 mouse liver cells, we have identified 3 separate clusters of hepatocytes (hep1, hep2 and hep3), endothelial cells, Kupffer cells and lymphocytes. Assessment of the AAVrh.10mCherry treated liver demonstrated transgene expression in not only hepatocytes, but in all cell types, with significant cell-type-specific expression heterogeneity. Large numbers of cell type-specific genes were up- and down-regulated in response to the AAV vectors. These observations provide insights into the liver cell-specific consequences of AAV-mediated liver gene transfer, far beyond the well-known organ-specific expression of the vector-delivered transgene.

A Self-Complementary AAV Proviral Plasmid System to Reduce Aberrant Cross-Packaging and ITR Promoter Activity in AAV Vector Preparations (Long-read)

Project description:Adeno-associated viral vectors (AAV) are a leading delivery system for gene therapy in animal models and humans. With several FDA-approved AAV gene therapies on the market, issues related to vector manufacturing have become increasingly important. In this study, we focused on potentially toxic DNA contaminants that can arise from AAV proviral plasmids, the raw materials required for manufacturing recombinant AAV in eukaryotic cells. Typical AAV proviral plasmids are circular DNAs containing a therapeutic gene cassette flanked by natural AAV inverted terminal repeat (ITR) sequences, and a plasmid backbone carrying prokaryotic sequences required for plasmid replication and selection in bacteria. While the majority of AAV particles package the intended therapeutic payload, some capsids instead package the bacterial sequences located on the proviral plasmid backbone. Since ITR sequences also have promoter activity, potentially toxic bacterial open reading frames can be produced in vivo, thereby representing a safety risk. In this study, we describe a new AAV proviral plasmid for vector manufacturing that (1) significantly decreases cross-packaged bacterial sequences; (2) increases correctly packaged AAV payloads; and (3) blunts ITR-driven transcription of cross-packaged material to avoid expressing potentially toxic bacterial sequences. This system may help improve the safety of AAV vector products.
