Project description:Homology Directed Repair (HDR) enables precise genome editing and holds great promise in the gene therapy field. However, the implementation of HDR-based therapies is hindered by limited efficiency in comparison to methods that exploit alternative DNA repair routes, such as Non-Homologous End Joining (NHEJ). In this study, we demonstrate the development of a functional, pooled screening platform utilizing an HDR-based readout to identify protein-based reagents that improve HDR outcomes in human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs), a clinically relevant cell type for gene therapy. We leveraged this screening platform to explore sequence diversity at the binding interface of the NHEJ inhibitor i53 and its target, 53BP1, and we identified optimized i53 variants that enable new intermolecular bonds and robustly increase HDR. These variants specifically reduce insertion-deletion outcomes and also synergize with a DNAPK inhibitor to increase HDR rates. When applied at manufacturing scale, the incorporation of improved variants results in a significant increase in cells with at least one repaired allele and improved HDR in long-term HSPCs subpopulations, while not increasing off-target editing or gross chromosomal rearrangements. We anticipate the pooled screening platform will enable discovery of future gene editing reagents that improve HDR outcomes, such as the i53 variants reported here.

Project description:Gene disruption by CRISPR/Cas9 is highly efficient and relies on the error-prone non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) pathway. Conversely, precise gene editing requires homology-directed repair (HDR), which occurs at a lower frequency than NHEJ in mammalian cells. Here, by testing whether manipulation of DNA repair factors would improve HDR efficacy, we show that transient ectopic co-expression of RAD52 and a dominant-negative 53BP1 (dn53BP1) synergize to enable efficient HDR using a single-stranded oligonucleotide DNA donor template at multiple loci in human cells, including patient-derived induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. Co-expression of RAD52 and dn53BP1 improves multiplexed HDR-mediated editing, whereas expression of RAD52 alone enhances HDR with Cas9 nickase. Our data show that the frequency of NHEJ-mediated DSB repair in the presence of these two factors is not suppressed, and suggest that dn53BP1 competitively antagonizes 53BP1 to augment HDR in combination with RAD52. Importantly, co-expression of RAD52 and dn53BP1 does not alter Cas9 off-target activity. These findings support the use of RAD52 and dn53BP1 co-expression to overcome bottlenecks that limit HDR in precision genome editing.

Project description:Genome editing by homology directed repair (HDR) is leveraged to precisely modify the genome of therapeutically relevant hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs). Here, we present a new approach to increasing the frequency of HDR in human HSPCs by the delivery of an inhibitor of 53BP1 (named "i53") as a recombinant peptide. We show that the use of i53 peptide effectively increases the frequency of HDR-mediated genome editing at a variety of therapeutically relevant loci in HSPCs as well as other primary human cell types. We show that incorporating the use of i53 recombinant protein allows high frequencies of HDR while lowering the amounts of AAV6 needed by 8-fold. HDR edited HSPCs were capable of long-term and bi-lineage hematopoietic reconstitution in NSG mice, suggesting that i53 recombinant protein might be safely integrated into the standard CRISPR/AAV6-mediated genome editing protocol to gain greater numbers of edited cells for transplantation of clinically meaningful cell populations.

Project description:By applying a barcoding strategy to clonal tracking of edited cells (BAR-seq), we show that p53 activation triggered by HDR editing significantly shrink the HSPC clonal repertoire in hematochimeric mice, despite engrafted edited clones preserved multilineage and self-renewing capacity. Transient inhibition of p53 restored polyclonal graft composition. We then overcame HSC constraints to HDR by forcing cell cycle progression and upregulating components of the HDR machinery through transient expression of Adenovirus 5 E4orf6/7 protein, which operates the major cell cycle controller E2F. Combined E4orf6/7 expression and p53 inhibition resulted in high and stable HDR editing efficiencies in the human graft, without perturbing repopulation and self-renewing properties of edited HSCs.
