Project description:Pathogenic variants in MYBPC3 (myosin-binding protein C3) are the leading cause of genetic hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Currently, there is no specific and effective treatment for this disease. Base editing is an emerging modality for treating monogenic diseases; however, its effect on MYBPC3 cardiomyopathy remains unexplored. Mybpc3-R946X/R946X mice developed early-onset left ventricular hypertrophy, systolic dysfunction, ventricular dilatation, and arrythmias. SpRY-ABEmax inefficiently corrected the Mybpc3-R946X mutation. In contrast, SpRY-ABE8e increased the efficiency by 3.6-fold and retained low level off-target editing. In vivo administration of SpRY-ABE8e efficiently corrected Mybpc3-R946X mutation in cardiomyocytes and prevented heart function decline, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and ventricular dysfunction. The therapeutic efficacy of SpRY-ABE8e-mediated gene correction surmounted AAV-mediated Mybpc3 gene replacement.Our study unveiled the immense potential of base editing to treat fatal inherited cardiomyopathies and opened a new avenue for the therapeutic managements of inherited cardiac diseases.

Project description:MicroRNAs negatively regulate gene expression and may serve as biomarkers for human cardiomyopathy. In the domestic cat, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) represents the most common primary cardiomyopathy. In humans, the etiology of HCM is linked to mutations in genes of contractile muscle proteins, while in cats a clear proof for causal mutations is missing. The etiology of feline HCM is uncertain. Diagnosis is made by heart ultrasound examination and measuring the serum level of N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether microRNA profiles in the serum of cats with HCM are different from the profiles of healthy cats and whether specific miRNAs can be detected to serve as potential biomarkers for feline HCM or may help in understanding the etiology of this disease Blood was drawn from two groups of cats: 12 healthy cats and 11 cats suffering from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. After clotting, samples were centrifuged and total mRNA was extracted from serum. These 23 serum samples were analyzed and the groups were compared

Project description:The mechanisms by which truncating mutations in MYBPC3 (encoding cardiac myosin-binding protein C; cMyBPC) or myosin missense mutations cause hypercontractility and poor relaxation in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) are incompletely understood. Using genetic and biochemical approaches, we explored how depletion of cMyBPC altered sarcomere function. We demonstrated that stepwise loss of cMyBPC resulted in reciprocal augmentation of myosin contractility. Direct attenuation of myosin function, via a damaging missense variant (F764L) that causes dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), normalized the increased contractility from cMyBPC depletion. Depletion of cMyBPC also altered dynamic myosin conformations during relaxation, enhancing the myosin state that enables ATP hydrolysis and thin filament interactions while reducing the super relaxed conformation associated with energy conservation. MYK-461, a pharmacologic inhibitor of myosin ATPase, rescued relaxation deficits and restored normal contractility in mouse and human cardiomyocytes with MYBPC3 mutations. These data define dosage-dependent effects of cMyBPC on myosin that occur across the cardiac cycle as the pathophysiologic mechanisms by which MYBPC3 truncations cause HCM. Therapeutic strategies to attenuate cMyBPC activity may rescue depressed cardiac contractility in patients with DCM, whereas inhibiting myosin by MYK-461 should benefit the substantial proportion of patients with HCM with MYBPC3 mutations.

Project description:Mutations in cardiac myosin binding protein C (MYBPC3) represent the most frequent cause of familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), making up approximately 50% of identified HCM mutations. MYBPC3 is distinct among other sarcomere genes associated with HCM in that truncating mutations make up the vast majority, whereas nontruncating mutations predominant in other sarcomere genes. Several studies using myocardial tissue from HCM patients have found reduced abundance of wild-type MYBPC3 compared to control hearts, suggesting haploinsufficiency of full-length MYBPC3. Further, decreased mutant versus wild-type mRNA and lack of truncated mutant MYBPC3 protein has been demonstrated, highlighting the presence of allelic imbalance. In this review, we will begin by introducing allelic imbalance and haploinsufficiency, highlighting the broad role each plays within the spectrum of human disease. We will subsequently focus on the roles allelic imbalance and haploinsufficiency play within MYBPC3-linked HCM. Finally, we will explore the implications of these findings on future directions of HCM research. An improved understanding of allelic imbalance and haploinsufficiency may help us better understand genotype-phenotype relationships in HCM and develop novel targeted therapies, providing exciting future research opportunities.

Project description:Accumulating evidence suggests that individuals with sarcomeric hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) carrying MYH7 mutations may have a worse prognosis than MYBPC3 mutation carriers. Myocardial deformation analysis is superior to standard echocardiography in detecting subtle myocardial dysfunction and scar formation, but studies evaluating the association with HCM genotype are scarce. We therefore aimed to compare myocardial strain parameters between MYBPC3 and MYH7 mutation carriers with proven HCM. Participants of the prospective Graz HCM Registry carrying at least one causative mutation in MYBPC3 (n = 39) or MYH7 (n = 18) were enrolled. MYBPC3 mutation carriers were older, predominantly male and more often treated with an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (39% vs. 0%; p = 0.002). Using analyses of covariance, there were no significant differences between MYBPC3 and MYH7 mutation carriers with regard to left ventricular global longitudinal strain (estimated marginal means ± standard deviation: -16.9 ± 0.6% vs. -17.3 ± 0.9%; p = 0.807) and right ventricular 6-segments endocardial strain (-24.3 ± 1.0% vs. 26.3 ± 1.5%; p = 0.285). Our study suggests, that myocardial deformation analysis may not be helpful in concluding on the underlying HCM genotype, and vice versa.

Project description:Dominant pathogenic variants encoding amino acid substitutions in cardiac myosin heavy chain cause hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), a currently incurable disorder that increases risk for stroke, heart failure, and sudden cardiac death. We assessed the efficacy of two different genetic therapies, an adenine base editor (ABE8e) and a potent Cas9 nuclease delivered by AAV9, to prevent disease in mice carrying the heterozygous HCM pathogenic variant myosin R403Q. One dose of dual AAV9 vectors, each carrying one half of RNA-guided ABE8e, corrected the pathogenic variant in ≥70% of ventricular cardiomyocytes and maintained durable, normal cardiac structure and function. An additional dose provided more global editing especially in the atria but also increased bystander editing. AAV9 delivery of RNA-guided Cas9 nuclease effectively inactivated the pathogenic allele, albeit with dose-dependent toxicities, necessitating a narrow therapeutic window to maintain health. These preclinical studies demonstrate considerable potential for single-dose genetic therapies to correct or silence pathogenic variants and prevent the development of HCM.
