Prime editor-mediated correction of a pathogenic mutation in purebred dogs.

ABSTRACT: Canine hip dysplasia (HD) is a multifactorial disease caused by interactions between genetic and environmental factors. HD, which mainly occurs in medium- to large-sized dogs, is a disease that causes severe pain and requires surgical intervention. However, the procedure is not straight-forward, and the only way to ameliorate the situation is to exclude individual dogs with HD from breeding programs. Recently, prime editing (PE), a novel genome editing tool based on the CRISPR-Cas9 system, has been developed and validated in plants and mice. In this study, we successfully corrected a mutation related to HD in Labrador retriever dogs for the first time. We collected cells from a dog diagnosed with HD, corrected the mutation using PE, and generated mutation-corrected dogs by somatic cell nuclear transfer. The results indicate that PE technology can potentially be used as a platform to correct genetic defects in dogs.

Project description:Sickle cell anaemia (SCA) is one of the common autosomal recessive monogenic disorders, caused by a transverse point mutation (GAG > GTG) at the sixth codon of the beta-globin gene, which results in haemolytic anaemia due to the fragile RBCs. Recent progress in genome editing has gained attention for the therapeutic cure for SCA. Direct correction of SCA mutation by homology-directed repair relies on a double-strand break (DSB) at the target site and carries the risk of generating beta-thalassaemic mutations if the editing is not error-free. On the other hand, base editors cannot correct the pathogenic SCA mutation resulting from A > T base transversion. Prime editor (PE), the recently described CRISPR/Cas 9 based gene editing tool that enables precise gene manipulations without DSB and unintended nucleotide changes, is a viable approach for the treatment of SCA. However, the major limitation with the use of prime editing is the lower efficiency especially in human erythroid cell lines and primary cells. To overcome these limitations, we developed a modular lenti-viral based prime editor system and demonstrated its use for the precise modelling of SCA mutation and its subsequent correction in human erythroid cell lines. We achieved highly efficient installation of SCA mutation (up to 72%) and its subsequent correction in human erythroid cells. For the first time, we demonstrated the functional restoration of adult haemoglobin without any unintended nucleotide changes or indel formations using the PE2 system. We also validated that the off-target effects mediated by the PE2 system is very minimal even with very efficient on-target conversion, making it a safe therapeutic option. Taken together, the modular lenti-viral prime editor system developed in this study not only expands the range of cell lines targetable by prime editor but also improves the efficiency considerably, enabling the use of prime editor for myriad molecular, genetic, and translational studies.
