Genomic editing of pathogenic TNNI3 mutation in restrictive cardiomyopathy rescues diastolic dysfunction of human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes

ABSTRACT: To investigate the physiological characteristics of cardiomyocytes (CM) in restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM), we established RCM(heterozygous)-iPSC and produced RCM(homozygous)-iPSC and corrected Isogenic-iPSC using CRISPER-CAS9 technology. Then, we used the RNA-seq data obtained from these three iPSCs and three different healthy iPSC-derived CMs for gene expression profiling analysis.

Project description:Absence of the dystrophin gene in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) results in the degeneration of skeletal and cardiac muscles. Owing to advances in respiratory medicine, cardiomyopathy has become a significant aspect of the disease. While CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing technology holds great potential as a novel therapeutic avenue for DMD, little is known about the efficacy of correction of DMD using the CRISPR/Cas9 system in mitigating the cardiomyopathy phenotype in DMD. To define the effects of CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing on structural, functional and transcriptional dysregulation in DMD-associated cardiomyopathy. We generated induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from a patient with a deletion of exon 44 of the DMD gene (ΔEx44) and his healthy brother. Here, we targeted exon 45 of the DMD gene by CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing to generate corrected DMD (cDMD) iPSC lines, wherein the DMD open reading frame was restored via reframing (RF) or exon skipping (ES). While DMD cardiomyocytes (CMs) demonstrated morphologic, structural and functional deficits compared to control CMs, CMs from both cDMD lines were similar to control CMs. Bulk RNA-sequencing of DMD CMs showed transcriptional dysregulation consistent with dilated cardiomyopathy, which was mitigated in cDMD CMs. We then corrected DMD CMs by adenoviral delivery of Cas9/gRNA and showed that postnatal correction of DMD CMs reduces their arrhythmogenic potential. Single-nucleus RNA-sequencing of hearts showed reduced transcriptional dysregulation in CMs and fibroblasts in corrected mice compared with DMD mice, consistent with reduced histopathologic changes.We show that CRISPR/Cas9-mediated correction of DMD ΔEx44 mitigates structural, functional and transcriptional dysregulation consistent with dilated cardiomyopathy irrespective of how the protein reading frame is restored. We show that these effects extend to postnatal editing in iPSC-CMs and mice. These findings provide key insights into the utility of genome editing as a novel therapeutic for DMD-associated cardiomyopathy.
