    In vivo application of base and prime editing to treat inherited retinal diseases

    No full text
    Inherited retinal diseases (IRDs) are vision-threatening retinal disorders caused by pathogenic variants of genes related to visual functions. Genomic analyses in patients with IRDs have revealed pathogenic variants which affect vision. However, treatment options for IRDs are limited to nutritional supplements regardless of genetic variants or gene-targeting approaches based on antisense oligonucleotides and adeno-associated virus vectors limited to targeting few genes. Genome editing, particularly that involving clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)-Cas9 technologies, can correct pathogenic variants and provide additional treatment opportunities. Recently developed base and prime editing platforms based on CRISPR-Cas9 technologies are promising for therapeutic genome editing because they do not employ double-stranded breaks (DSBs), which are associated with P53 activation, large deletions, and chromosomal translocations. Instead, using attached deaminases and reverse transcriptases, base and prime editing efficiently induces specific base substitutions and intended genetic changes (substitutions, deletions, or insertions), respectively, without DSBs. In this review, we will discuss the recent in vivo application of CRISPR-Cas9 technologies, focusing on base and prime editing, in animal models of IRDs.N

    Visual function restoration in a mouse model of Leber congenital amaurosis via therapeutic base editing

    No full text
    Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA), an inherited retinal degeneration, causes severe visual dysfunction in children and adolescents. In patients with LCA, pathogenic variants, such as RPE65, are evident in specific genes, related to the functions of retinal pigment epithelium and photoreceptors. In contrast to the original Cas9, base editing tools can correct pathogenic substitutions without generation of DNA double-stranded breaks (DSBs). In this study, dual adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors containing split adenine base editors (ABEs) with trans-splicing intein were prepared for in vivo base editing in retinal degeneration of 12 (rd12) mice, an animal model of LCA, possessing a nonsense mutation of C to T transition in the Rpe65 gene (p.R44X). Subretinal injection of AAV-ABE in retinal pigment epithelial cells of rd12 mice resulted in an A to G transition. The on-target editing was sufficient for recovery of wild-type mRNA, RPE65 protein, and light-induced electrical responses from the retina. Compared with our previous therapeutic editing strategies using Cas9 and prime editing, or with the gene transfer strategy shown in the current study, our results suggest that, considering the editing efficacy and functional recovery, ABEs could be a strong, reliable method for correction of pathogenic variants in the treatment of LCA
