Structure-guided engineering of eukaryotic Fanzor-ωRNA system enhances in vivo gene editing for dystrophin restoration in a Duchenne mouse model

ABSTRACT: Fanzor proteins are recently identified from eukaryotic cells as RNA-guided nuclease homologs of prokaryotic TnpB. However, Fanzor-ωRNA system has not been well characterized in terms of gene editing activity, off-target profile and in vivo efficacy for disease correction. In the present study, Fanzor and other TnpB-ωRNA systems were reconstituted in mammalian cells for gene editing and off-target analysis. Furthermore, we identified several Fanzor variants with enhanced activity via structure-guided protein engineering. Additionally, we demonstrated the efficacy of engineered Fanzor-ωRNA system in embryos to generate mutant mice via embryonic injection of Fanzor messenger RNA (mRNA) and ωRNA. Notably, single adeno-associated virus (AAV) delivery of engineered Fanzor-ωRNA system in a mouse model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) achieved sufficient gene editing of DMD gene mutations to effectively induce mutant exons skipping and restore dystrophin expression, indicating the applications potential for single AAV gene editing therapy with Fanzor-ωRNA system.

Efficient transgene-free multiplexed genome editing via viral delivery of an engineered TnpB

Project description:Virus-induced genome editing (VIGE) using compact RNA-guided endonucleases is a transformational new approach in plant biotechnology, enabling tissue-culture-independent and transgene-free genome editing. We recently established a transgene-free VIGE approach for heritable editing at single loci in Arabidopsis by delivering ISYmu1 TnpB (Ymu1) and its guide RNA (gRNA) via Tobacco Rattle Virus (TRV). Here, we greatly improved this system by devising a multiple gRNA expression system and by utilizing an engineered high-activity Ymu1 variant (Ymu1-WFR) to develop an efficient multiplexed genome editing approach.

In vivo genome editing restores dystrophin expression in Duchenne muscular dystrophy patient muscle fibers [WES]

Project description:Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is the most common fatal genetic disease. Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)-mediated gene editing is a promising strategy for permanently curing DMD. In this study we developed a novel strategy for reframing DMD mutations by CRISPR-mediated large-scale excision of exons 46–54. We compared this approach to other DMD rescue strategies using DMD patient-derived primary muscle-derived stem cells (MDSCs) and found that it showed the highest efficiency in terms of restoring of dystrophin protein expression. We also confirmed that CRISPR from Prevotella and Francisella 1(Cpf1)-mediated genome editing could correct DMD mutation with higher specificity than CRISPR-associated protein 9 (Cas9). Furthermore, A patient-derived xenograft (PDX) DMD mouse model was established by transplanting DMD-MDSCs into immunodeficient mice. CRISPR gene editing components were intramuscularly delivered into the mouse model by adeno-associated virus vectors. Dystrophin expression levels were increased by 10%–30% in human DMD muscle fibers. The restored dystrophin in vivo was functional, as demonstrated by the expression of the dystrophin glycoprotein complex member β-dystroglycan. This study provides a sensitive indicator for in vivo efficacy of gene editing and lays the foundation for a clinical trial of DMD treatment with gene editing technology.

Long-term maintenance of dystrophin expression and resistance to injury of skeletal muscle in gene-edited mice

Project description:Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a lethal muscle disease caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene. CRISPR/Cas9 genome-editing has been used to correct DMD mutations in animal models at young ages. However, the longevity and durability of CRISPR/Cas9 editing remained to be determined. To address these issues, we subjected DEx44 DMD mice to systemic delivery of AAV9 expressing CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing components to reframe exon 45 of the dystrophin gene, allowing robust dystrophin expression and maintenance of muscle structure and function. We showed that genome correction by CRISPR/Cas9 confers lifelong expression of dystrophin in mice and that corrected skeletal muscle is highly durable and resistant to myofiber necrosis and fibrosis, even in response to chronic injury. In contrast, when muscle fibers were ablated by barium chloride injection, satellite cells were unable to restore dystrophin expression due to restriction of gene editing components. Analysis of on-target and off-target gene editing in aged mice confirmed the stability of gene correction and the lack of significant off-target editing at 18 months of age. These findings demonstrate the long-term durability of CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing as a therapy for maintaining the integrity and function of DMD muscle, even under conditions of stress.

Comprehensive assessment of activity, specificity, and safety of hypercompact TnpB systems for gene editing

Project description:As the ancestor of CRISPR-Cas12 nucleases, TnpB represents the most compact gene editing tool currently available. Recent studies have identified multiple TnpB systems with gene editing activity in mammalian cells, and the potential of TnpB in treating diseases has been demonstrated in animal models. However, the editing characteristics of various TnpB systems, comparable to CRISPR tools, require more extensive investigation. Using a standardized evaluation framework, we conducted a thorough analysis of the editing properties of four TnpB variants alongside representative Cas12 and Cas9 tools. Overall, TnpBs exhibit intermediate editing activity and safety profiles among all tested systems, with ISYmu1 TnpB demonstrating a good performance in both editing activity and specificity. Considering its compact size, potent editing efficiency and high specificity, ISYmu1 TnpB represents a promising candidate for in vivo gene therapy applications.

In this project, proteomics data from skeletal muscle of a genetically engineered DMD pig model treated by somatic gene editing are shown.

Stepwise DNA unwinding gates TnpB genome-editing activity

Project description:TnpB is a compact RNA-guided endonuclease and evolutionary ancestor of CRISPR-Cas12 that offers a promising platform for genome engineering. However, the genome-editing activity of TnpBs remains limited and its underlying determinants are poorly understood. Here, we used biochemical and single-molecule assays to examine the DNA-unwinding mechanism of Youngiibacter multivorans TnpB (Ymu1 TnpB). DNA unwinding proceeds through formation of a partially unwound intermediate state to a fully unwound open state. The open state forms inefficiently and collapses readily in the absence of negative supercoiling. An optimized variant, Ymu1-WFR, stabilizes formation of both the intermediate and open states, resulting in enhanced DNA cleavage in vitro and increased genome editing in vivo. These findings identify the physical basis for the observed minimal activities of natural TnpBs, revealing how stabilizing specific unwinding states enables efficient DNA targeting.
