RESUMEN

Mutations in the rhodopsin (RHO) gene are the predominant causes of autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (adRP). Given the diverse gain-of-function mutations, therapeutic strategies targeting specific sequences face significant challenges. Here, we provide a universal approach to conquer this problem: we have devised a CRISPR-Cas12i-based, mutation-independent gene knockout and replacement compound therapy carried by a dual AAV2/8 system. In this study, we successfully delayed the progression of retinal degeneration in the classic mouse disease model RhoP23H, and also RhoP347S, a new native mouse mutation model we developed. Our research expands the horizon of potential options for future treatments of RHO-mediated adRP.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVES: Gene therapy based on recombinant adeno-associated viral (rAAV) vectors has been proved to be clinically effective for genetic diseases. However, there are still some limitations, including possible safety concerns for high dose delivery and a decreasing number of target patients caused by the high prevalence of pre-existing neutralizing antibodies, hindering its application. Herein, we explored whether there was an engineering strategy that can obtain mutants with enhanced transduction efficiency coupled with reduced immunogenicity. METHODS: We described a new strategy for AAV capsids engineering by combining alterations of N-linked glycosylation and the mutation of PLA2-like motif. With this combined strategy, we generated novel variants derived from AAV8 and AAVS3. RESULTS: The variants mediated higher transduction efficiency in human liver carcinoma cell lines and human primary hepatocytes as well as other human tissue cell lines. Importantly, all the variants screened out showed lower sensitivity to neutralizing antibody in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, the in vivo antibody profiles of variants were different from their parental AAV capsids. CONCLUSIONS: Our work proposed a new combined engineering strategy and engineered two liver-tropic AAVs. We also obtained several AAV variants with a higher transduction efficiency and lower sensitivity of neutralizing antibodies. By expanding the gene delivery toolbox, these variants may further facilitate the success of AAV gene therapy.

RESUMEN

Meiosis with a single round of DNA replication and two successive rounds of chromosome segregation requires specific cyclins associated with cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) to ensure its fidelity. But how cyclins control the distinctive meiosis is still largely unknown. In this study, we explored the role of cyclin B3 in female meiosis by generating Ccnb3 mutant mice via CRISPR/Cas9. Ccnb3 mutant oocytes characteristically arrested at metaphase I (MetI) with normal spindle assembly and lacked enough anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) activity, which is spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) independent, to initiate anaphase I (AnaI). Securin siRNA or CDK1 inhibitor supplements rescued the MetI arrest. Furthermore, CCNB3 directly interacts with CDK1 to exert kinase function. Besides, the MetI arrest oocytes had normal development after intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) or parthenogenetic activation (PA), along with releasing the sister chromatids, which implies that Ccnb3 exclusively functioned in meiosis I, rather than meiosis II. Our study sheds light on the specific cell cycle control of cyclins in meiosis.
