Project description:Primary Hyperoxaluria Type 1 (PH1) is a rare inherited metabolic disorder characterized by oxalate overproduction in the liver, resulting in renal damage. It is caused by mutations in the AGXT gene. Combined liver and kidney transplantation is currently the only permanent curative treatment. We combined locus-specific gene correction and hepatic direct cell reprogramming to generate autologous healthy induced hepatocytes (iHeps) from PH1 patient-derived fibroblasts. First, site-specific AGXT corrected cells were obtained by homology directed repair (HDR) assisted by CRISPR/Cas9, following two different strategies: accurate point mutation (c.853T>C) correction or knock-in of an enhanced version of AGXT cDNA. Then, iHeps were generated, by overexpression of hepatic transcription factors. Generated AGXT-corrected iHeps showed hepatic gene expression profile and exhibited in vitro reversion of oxalate accumulation compared to non-edited PH1-derived iHeps. This strategy set up a potential alternative cellular source for liver cell replacement therapy and a personalized PH1 in vitro disease model.

Project description:The therapeutic use of adeno-associated viral vector (AAV)-mediated gene disruption using CRISPR-Cas9 is limited by potential off-target modifications and the risk of uncontrolled integration of vector genomes into CRISPR-mediated double-strand breaks. To address these concerns, we explored the use of AAV-delivered paired Staphylococcus aureus nickases (D10ASaCas9) to target the Hao1 gene for the treatment of primary hyperoxaluria type 1 (PH1). Our study demonstrated effective Hao1 gene disruption, a significant decrease in glycolate oxidase expression, and a therapeutic effect in PH1 mice. The assessment of undesired genetic modifications through CIRCLE-seq and CAST-Seq analyses revealed neither off-target activity nor chromosomal translocations. Importantly, the use of paired-D10ASaCas9 resulted in a significant reduction in AAV integration at the target site compared to SaCas9 nuclease. Additionally, our study highlights the limitations of current analytical tools in characterizing modifications introduced by paired D10ASaCas9, necessitating the development of a custom pipeline for more accurate characterization. These results describe a positive advance towards a safe and effective potential long-term treatment for PH1 patients.

Project description:Histone acetylation involves the transfer of a two-carbon unit to nucleus as embedded in low-concentration metabolites. We find that lactate, a high-concentration metabolic by-product, can be a major carbon source for histone acetylation, through oxidation-dependent metabolism. Both in cells and in purified nucleus, 13C3-lactate carbons are incorporated into histone H4 (maximum incorporation: ~60%). In purified nucleus, this process depends on nucleus-localized lactate dehydrogenase (LDHA), the knockout of which abrogates the incorporation. Heterologous expression of nucleus-localized LDHA rescues the KO effect. Lactate itself increases histone acetylation, whereas inhibition of LDHA reduces the acetylation. In vitro and in vivo settings exhibit different lactate incorporation patterns, suggesting an influence of the microenvironment. Higher nuclear LDHA localization is observed in pancreatic cancer than in normal tissues, showing the disease relevance. Overall, lactate and nuclear LDHA can be major structural and regulatory players in the metabolism-epigenetics axis controlled by cell’s own or environmental status.

Project description:Misfolding loss-of-function diseases are a huge burden for people and states. Primary hyperoxaluria type 1 (PH1) is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in the alanine:glyoxylate aminotransferase 1 (AGT) enzyme. The underlying molecular mechanisms causing PH1 are associated with protein misfolding (enhanced aggregation and mitochondrial mistargeting). The main therapeutic approach to increase patients lifespan and quality of life is a double transplantation of kidney and liver. Alternative treatments are currently under study, such as gene and enzyme replacement therapies and pharmacological chaperones as treatments, but other alternatives are necessary. In this work, we developed and characterize a novel biotechnological approach using six single domain nanobodies (NB-AGT-1 to -6) as potential therapeutics for PH1 misfolding. We show that NB-AGTs are very stable proteins and bind to pathogenic and non-pathogenic variants of AGT with extreme affinities (with Kd values from low nM to low pM). Structural studies showed that NB-AGTs bind to different epitopes of AGT with selectivity for different AGT variants. Experiments in cellular PH1 models showed that internalization of engineered NB-AGT-3 enhanced the specific activity of disease-associated variants and retargeted the protein to peroxisomes. Overall, we show that NBs are a novel and promising approach to treat PH1 as well as other loss-of-function misfolding diseases.

Project description:Aims/hypothesis Pancreatic β cell dedifferentiation underlies the reversible reduction in β cell mass and function in diabetes. Interventional targets and adjuvant therapies to prevent/reverse β cell dedifferentiation and transdifferentiation may provide evidence to support the effective treatment of diabetes, while the underlying molecular mechanism remains elusive. Methods LDHA expression and activity were analysed in islets obtained from humans with type 2 diabetes, hyperglycaemic db/db mice, and a high-fat diet (HFD)-induced mouse model of diabetes. The impact of LDHA inhibition on β cell function and identity was investigated in high-fat diet (HFD) feeding mice and db/db mice. ChIP-seq and RNA-seq were used to investigate the specific molecular mechanism underlying the effect of LDHA on the H3K9la enhancement and beta cell function under glucotoxic conditions. Results We demonstrated that inhibition of LDHA effectively preserved β cell identity, which not only delay disease progression in prediabetic stage, but also improve insulin output and glucose homeostasis in diabetic models. Mechanistically, the activation of LDHA led to a marked increase in histone H3 lysine 9 lactylation (H3K9la) in the promoter region of the β cells dedifferentiation markers Sox9, Hes1 and Aldh1a3, and facilitated their transcription, thereby triggering β cell dedifferentiation as well as impaired glucose homeostasis and β cell function in mice. Conclusions/interpretation We unraveled the role of lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA)-mediated metabolic and epigenetic reprogramming in β cell dedifferentiation during diabetes development. This study suggests that LDHA inhibition could be a novel therapeutic strategy for diabetes treatment.

Project description:Hepatocytes-like cells (HLC) derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells show great promise for cell-based liver therapies and disease modelling. However, their application is currently hindered by the low production yields of existing protocols. We aim to develop a bioprocess able to generate high numbers of HLC. We used stirred-tank bioreactors with a rational control of dissolved oxygen concentration (DO) for the optimization of HLC production as 3D aggregates. We evaluated the impact of controlling DO at physiological levels (4%O2) during hepatic progenitors’ stage on cell proliferation and differentiation efficiency. Whole transcriptome analysis and biochemical assays were performed to provide a detailed characterization of HLC quality attributes. When DO was controlled at 4%O2 during the hepatic progenitors’ stage, cells presented an upregulation of genes associated with hypoxia-inducible factor pathway and a downregulation of oxidative stress genes. This condition promoted higher HLC production (maximum cell concentration: 2×106 cell/mL) and improved differentiation efficiencies (80% Albumin-positive cells) when compared to the bioreactor operated under atmospheric oxygen levels (21%O2, 0.6×106 cell/mL, 43% Albumin positive cells). These HLC exhibited functional characteristics of hepatocytes: capacity to metabolize drugs, ability to synthesize hepatic metabolites, and inducible cytochrome P450 activity. Bioprocess robustness was confirmed with HLC derived from different donors, including a primary hyperoxaluria type 1 (PH1) patient. The generated PH1.HLC showed metabolic features of PH1 disease with higher secretion of oxalate compared with HLC generated from healthy individuals. This work reports a reproducible bioprocess, that shows the importance of controlling DO at physiological levels to increase HLC production, and the HLC capability to display PH1 disease features.
