An evolved AAV variant enables efficient genetic engineering of murine T cells

ABSTRACT: Precise targeting of large transgenes to T cells using homology-directed repair has been transformative for adoptive cell therapies and T cell biology. Non-toxic delivery of DNA templates via adeno-associated virus (AAV) has greatly improved knock-in efficiencies, but the tropism of current AAV serotypes restricts their use to human T cells employed in immunodeficient mouse models. To enable targeted knock-ins in murine T cells, we evolved Ark313, a synthetic AAV that exhibits high transduction efficiency in murine T cells. We performed a genome-wide knockout screen and identified QA2 as an essential factor for Ark313 infection. We demonstrate that Ark313 can be used for nucleofection-free DNA delivery, CRISPR/Cas9-mediated knockouts, and targeted integration of large transgenes. Ark313 enables pre-clinical modeling of Trac-targeted CAR-T and transgenic TCR-T cells in immunocompetent models. Efficient gene targeting in murine T cells holds great potential for improved cell therapies and opens new avenues in experimental T cell immunology.

Characterization of microglia polarization states under targeted AAV transduction using bulk and single cell RNA sequencing

Project description:The study of microglia biology and the development of microglia-based gene therapies are in urgent need of efficient and safe vehicles for microglia transgene delivery. To address this, we developed adeno-associated virus (AAV) variants that mediate efficient in vitro and in vivo microglia transduction via directed evolution of the AAV capsid protein. To assess the effect of AAV transduction on microglia, we carried out bulk RNAseq in primary microglia and found that microglia transduced by AAV remain close to homeostatic state. Furthermore, single-cell RNA sequencing showed that the AAV-MG variants mediate safe in vivo transgene delivery without inducing microglia immune activation. These AAV variants should facilitate the applications of various genetically-encoded sensors and effectors in studying microglia-related biology and therapeutic interventions.

Casein kinase 2 activity is a host restriction factor for AAV transduction

Project description:Despite rapid progress in the development of new therapies based on adeno-associated viral vectors (AAVs) in recent years, successful transduction of the human heart remains challenging. So far, the mechanisms that impede AAV transduction, especially in humans are poorly understood, hampering the introduction of new, effective gene therapy strategies. Therefore, the aim of this study was to identify and overcome the main cellular barriers to successful transduction in the heart, using iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes (iPSC-CMs), cardiac fibroblasts (iPSC-CFs), and primary endothelial cells (HAECs) to model vector-host interactions. Through phosphoproteome analysis of AAV9-transduced iPSC-CFs we established that casein kinase 2 (CK2) signalling is one of the most significantly affected pathways upon AAV exposure. Importantly, transient inhibition of CK2 activity with silmitasertib substantially enhanced the transduction rate of AAV2, AAV6 and AAV9 in all tested cell types (iPSC-CMs, iPSC-CFs and HAECs), demonstrating the versatility of this approach. CK2 inhibition improved the trafficking of AAVs through the cytoplasm and impaired DNA-damage response through destabilisation of Mre11, sensor of dsDNA breaks, that directly binds the ITRs of the vector genome. Silmitasertib treatment also allowed for improvement of transgene expression in already transduced iPSC-CFs, which retain AAV genomes in a functional, but probably silent form. Furthermore, our analysis revealed that AAV transduction may interfere with RNA processing pathways, identifying matrin-3 as a necessary factor for efficient transgene delivery. In summary, presented study provides new insights into the current understanding of the host-AAV vector interaction, identifying CK2 activity as a key barrier to efficient transduction and transgene expression, therefore offering a promising strategy to improve the outcome of AAV-based therapies in the future.

Herpes Simplex Virus 1 and Adeno Associated Virus distribution in neurons of the murine trigeminal and superior cervical ganglia

Project description:After initial infection at mucosa, herpes simplex virus (HSV) establishes lifelong latency in neurons of the peripheral nervous system, which represents the source of recurrent disease. Current antiviral therapies reduce symptoms and viral shedding, but do not cure the infection. In contrast, gene editing offers the possibility to lethally mutate or even eliminate latent viral genomes. Delivery of gene editing enzymes by Adeno Associated Virus (AAV) vectors represents a promising approach to functionally curing HSV infection. In order to optimize in vivo gene therapy approaches it is necessary to understand which neuronal subtypes within peripheral ganglia are infected by HSV and which subtypes are efficiently targeted by various AAV serotypes. Here we use single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to identify neurons expressing HSV genes as well as reporter genes for AAV1, AAV8, AAV-PhP.s, and AAV-Rh10 serotypes.

Cardiac-specific YAP activation improve cardiac function and survival in an experimental murine MI model

Project description:In this study, we used a cardiac-specific, inducible expression system to activate YAP in adult mouse heart. Activation of YAP in adult heart promoted cardiomyocyte proliferation and did not deleteriously affect heart function. Furthermore, YAP activation after myocardial infarction (MI) preserved heart function and reduced infarct size. Using adeno-associated virus subtype 9 (AAV9) as a delivery vector, we expressed human YAP in the murine myocardium immediately after MI. We found that AAV9:hYAP significantly improved cardiac function and mouse survival. AAV9:hYAP did not exert its salutary effects by reducing cardiomyocyte apoptosis. Rather, we found that AAV9:hYAP stimulated adult cardiomyocyte proliferation. Gene expression profiling indicated that AAV9:hYAP stimulated cell cycle gene expression, enhanced TGFβ-signaling, and activated of components of the inflammatory response.Cardiac specific YAP activation after MI mitigated myocardial injury after MI, improved cardiac function and mouse survival. These findings suggest that therapeutic activation of hYAP or its downstream targets, potentially through AAV-mediated gene therapy, may be a strategy to improve outcome after MI. Three groups were involved in this study: sham group, AAV9:Luci+MI group and AAV9-YAP+MI group. Each group contained three biological replicates. The sham group had neither myocardial infarction nor AAV injection. The AAV9:Luci +MI(L for brief) group had myocardial infarction and injected with AAV9:Luic. The AAV9:hYAP+MI(YAP for brief) group had myocardial infarction and injected with AAV9:hYAP. 5 days after MI and AAV injection, the heart apexes were collected and the total RNA were isolated for microarray analysis.

Quantitative single-cell transcriptome-based ranking of engineered AAVs in human retinal explants

Project description:Gene therapy is a rapidly developing field, and adeno-associated virus (AAV) is a leading viral vector candidate for therapeutic gene delivery. Newly engineered AAVs with improved abilities are now entering the clinic. It has proven challenging, however, to predict the translational potential of gene therapies developed in animal models, due to cross-species differences. Human retinal explants are the only available model of fully developed human retinal tissue, and are thus important for the validation of candidate AAV vectors. In this study, we evaluated 18 wildtype and engineered AAV capsids in human retinal explants using a recently developed single-cell RNA-Seq AAV engineering pipeline (scAAVengr). Human retinal explants retain the same major cell types as fresh retina, with similar expression of cell-specific markers, except for a photoreceptor population with altered expression of photoreceptor-specific genes. The efficiency and tropism of AAVs in human explants was quantified, with single cell resolution. The top performing serotypes, K91, K912, and 7m8, were further validated in non-human primate and human retinal explants. Together, this study provides detailed information about the transcriptome profiles of retinal explants, and quantifies the infectivity of leading AAV serotypes in human retina, accelerating the translation of retinal gene therapies to the clinic.

Transcription factor ZNF263 enhances EGFR-targeted therapeutic response and reduces residual disease in lung adenocarcinoma [ChIP-seq]

Project description:EGF receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have achieved clinical successes in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). However, tumors often show profound but transient initial response and gain resistance. Here, we identified transcription factor ZNF263 as being significantly decreased in osimertinib-resistant or drug-tolerant persister LUAD cells and clinical residual tumor specimens. Exogenous expression of ZNF263 improved the initial response of cells and delayed the formation of persister cells with osimertinib. We elaborated that ZNF263 bound and recruited DNMT1 to the EGFR gene promoter, suppressing EGFR transcription with DNA hypermethylation. ZNF263 could also interact with nuclear EGFR (nEGFR), impairing the nEGFR-STAT5 interaction to enhance AURKA expression. Overexpressing ZNF263 also made tumor cells with wild-type EGFR expression or refractory EGFR mutations more susceptible to EGFR inhibition. More importantly, lentivirus or AAV-mediated plasmid delivery of ZNF263 synergistically suppressed tumor growth and regrowth with osimertinib in xenograft animal models. These findings suggest that enhancing ZNF263 may achieve complete response in LUAD with EGFR-targeted therapies.

Genotoxicity after adeno-associated virus (AAV) gene therapy is dependent upon dose, treatment age and enhancer-promoter selection

Project description:AAV gene therapy has recently been approved for clinical use and shown to be efficacious and safe in a growing number of clinical trials. However, the safety of AAV as a gene therapy has been challenged by a few studies that documented hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after AAV gene delivery in mice. The association between AAV and HCC has been difficult to reconcile and is the subject of intense debate because numerous AAV studies have not reported toxicity. Here, we report a comprehensive study of HCC in a large number of mice following therapeutic AAV gene delivery. Using a sensitive high-throughput integration site-capture technique and global expressional analysis, we found that AAV integration into the Rian locus and the over-expression of a proximal gene, Rtl1, were associated with HCC. In addition, we identify a number of genes with differential expression that maybe useful in the study, diagnosis and treatment of HCC. We demonstrate that AAV vector dose, enhancer-promoter selection, and the timing of gene delivery are the defining factors in AAV-mediated insertional mutagenesis. Our results help explain the AAV-mediated genotoxicity previously observed and have important implications for the design of both safer AAV vectors and gene therapy studies. To investigate the possibility that insertional mutagenesis by AAV contributed to the development of HCC, we collected normal and tumor tissues from adult mouse livers that received AAV injection at a neonatal stage.
