Gene Therapy Advances: A Meta-Analysis of AAV Usage in Clinical Settings

Hau Kiu Edna Au et al.

Summary: Adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) are the safest and most effective gene delivery vehicles in gene therapy, but their translatability into clinical settings is partly limited. This study analyzed over two decades of clinical trial data and found variations in the speed of novel AAV development in different therapeutic areas. More clinical data on dosing regimes, immune-modulation strategies, and gene editing approaches are needed to accelerate the translation of AAV-mediated gene therapy.

RBM20S639G mutation is a high genetic risk factor for premature death through RNA-protein condensates

Chunyan Wang et al.

Summary: A study found that the RBM20 S639G mutation is associated with dilated cardiomyopathy and early death. By using a knock-in mouse model, researchers showed that this mutation promotes the formation of RBM20 granules in the sarcoplasm and leads to differential expression and splicing of genes related to arrhythmia, cardiomyopathy, and sudden death. Additionally, the knock-in mice exhibited impaired cardiac function.

Precise genomic editing of pathogenic mutations in RBM20 rescues dilated cardiomyopathy

Takahiko Nishiyama et al.

Summary: Mutations in the RBM20 gene are a common cause of familial dilated cardiomyopathy. The study uses gene editing techniques to correct these mutations and demonstrates that correction can restore normal gene splicing and nuclear localization, while eliminating abnormal ribonucleoprotein granule formation. The effectiveness of this therapy is also validated in a mouse model.

In vivo base editing rescues Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome in mice

Luke W. Koblan et al.

Summary: Using adenine base editor (ABE), researchers successfully corrected the pathogenic mutation in fibroblasts from children with Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome, mitigating RNA mis-splicing, reducing progerin levels, and correcting nuclear abnormalities. In vivo base editing with AAV9 encoding ABE in transgenic mice resulted in substantial, durable correction of the mutation, restoration of normal RNA splicing, and improvement of vascular pathology, ultimately extending the lifespan of the mice. These findings demonstrate the potential of in vivo base editing as a treatment for genetic diseases.

Aidan M. Fenix et al.

Summary: Mutations in the splicing factor RBM20 lead to aggressive Dilated Cardiomyopathy. Analysis of the RBM20 mutant reveals unique gene, splicing, polyadenylation, and circular RNA defects. The mutant protein shows altered RNA binding, splicing, and cytoplasmic localization.

In vivo adenine base editing of PCSK9 in macaques reduces LDL cholesterol levels

Tanja Rothgangl et al.

Summary: ABEs have been shown to effectively and safely reduce LDL levels in the livers of mice and cynomolgus macaques. Using lipid nanoparticle-based delivery of mRNA encoding an ABE and a sgRNA targeting PCSK9, significant reductions in PCSK9 and LDL levels were achieved in both species. Further research is warranted to explore the potential of ABEs in treating monogenic liver diseases.
