Biodistribution of Adeno-Associated Virus Gene Therapy Following Cerebrospinal Fluid-Directed Administration

Xin Chen et al.

Summary: Adeno-associated virus (AAV)-based gene therapies have the potential to treat central nervous system (CNS) diseases, but there have been severe adverse events in clinical trials, highlighting the need for further research on lower-dose approaches targeting the CNS. Animal models provide valuable insights, but differences in anatomy and biology between species pose challenges for translation. A review of preclinical studies on AAV gene therapy biodistribution in cerebrospinal fluid delivery reveals variations in outcomes due to different factors such as animal models, vector serotypes, assessment methods, and routes of administration. More systematic research is needed to ensure reliable translation across animal models and into human studies.

Neurofilament light chain and dorsal root ganglia injury after adeno-associated virus 9 gene therapy in nonhuman primates

Eric W. Johnson et al.

Summary: In nonhuman primates, adeno-associated virus serotype 9 (AAV9) vectorized gene therapy can cause microscopic injury in dorsal root ganglia (DRG) and trigemiment light chain (NfL) that spreads into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and blood. NfL concentrations in plasma, serum, and CSF showed correlations with the severity of microscopic findings. Longitudinal assessment of NfL concentrations suggested it could serve as a useful biomarker in nonclinical toxicity testing. However, caution should be applied for translation to humans.

Efficacy and Safety of a Krabbe Disease Gene Therapy

Juliette Hordeaux et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates the efficacy, scalability, and safety of using AAVhu68 gene therapy delivered through the cisterna magna to treat Krabbe disease. This treatment method has shown to prolong survival, prevent psychosine accumulation, preserve peripheral nerve myelination, and reduce neuroinflammation and demyelination. Clinical trials for this disease have already begun.

Characterization of AAV-mediated dorsal root ganglionopathy

Nicholas Buss et al.

Summary: Recent studies have shown that non-human primates administered with recombinant adeno-associated viruses (rAAVs) develop lesions in the dorsal root ganglia (DRG). In this study, different purification methods were used to produce rAAV9s, and the results indicate that regardless of purification methods, DRG lesions were observed in monkeys. The lesions included neuronal degeneration, increased cellularity, and nerve fiber degeneration. Furthermore, MRI revealed an increase in short tau inversion recovery (STIR) intensity and a decrease in fractional anisotropy in animals with axonopathy. However, animals administered with the Null AAV9 vector did not develop DRG lesions, despite the presence of vector DNA at similar or higher levels compared to rAAV9-treated animals.

Harnessing cerebrospinal fluid circulation for drug delivery to brain tissues

Ghazal Naseri Kouzehgarani et al.

Summary: CSF circulation is increasingly viewed as a viable pathway to deliver certain therapeutics deeper into brain tissues, with fluid dynamic modeling helping to predict infusion rate and duration. Multiple methods, including fluid dynamic models, pharmacokinetic models, and preclinical testing, can be used to estimate drug penetration in brain tissues.

Maria Jose de Castro et al.

Summary: There is a significant need for long-lasting and transformative therapies for mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS), especially in treating brain diseases in neuronopathic MPS. Newborn screening procedures have improved early identification and treatment, while gene therapy and gene editing show promise as potentially curative treatments. However, various considerations need to be taken into account given recent progress in the field.
