    摘要: Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an inherited X-linked disease caused by mutations in the gene encoding dystrophin, a protein required for muscle fiber integrity. The disclosure reports CRISPR/Cpfl -mediated gene editing (Myo-editing) is effective at correcting the dystrophin gene mutation in the mdx mice, a model for DMD. Further, the disclosure reports optimization of germline editing of mdx mice by engineering the permanent skipping of mutant exon and extending exon skipping to also correct the disease by post-natal delivery of adeno- associated virus (AAV). AAV-mediated Myo-editing can efficiently rescue the reading frame of dystrophin in mdx mice in vivo. The disclosure reports means of Myo-editing-mediated exon skipping has been successfully advanced from somatic tissues in mice to human DMD patients- derived iPSCs (induced pluripotent stem cells). Custom Myo-editing was performed on iPSCs from patients with differing mutations and successfully restored dystrophin protein expression for all mutations in iPSCs-derived cardiomyocytes.

    摘要: Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), which affects 1 in 5,000 male births, is one of the most common genetic disorders of children. This disease is caused by an absence or deficiency of dystrophin protein in striated muscle. The major DMD deletion "hot spots" are found between exon 6 to 8, and exons 45 to 53. Here, three DMD mouse models are provided that can be used to test a variety of DMD exon skipping and refraining strategies. Among these are, CRISPR/Cas9 oligonucleotides, small molecules or other therapeutic modalities that promote exon skipping or exon refraining or micro dystrophin mini genes or cell based therapies. Methods for restoring the reading frame of exon 43, exon 45, and exon 52 deletion via CRISPR-mediated exon skipping and reframing in the humanized DMD mouse model, in patient-derived iPSCs and ultimately, in patients using various delivery systems are also contemplated. The impact of CRISPR technology on DMD is that gene editing can permanently correct mutations.

    摘要: CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing holds clinical potential for treating genetic diseases, such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), which is caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene. In vivo AAV-mediated delivery of gene-editing components machinery has been shown to successfully remove mutant sequence to generate an exon skipping in the cardiac and skeletal muscle cells of postnatal mdx mice, a model of DMD. Using different modes of AAV9 delivery, the restoration of dystrophin protein expression in cardiac and skeletal muscle of mdx mice was achieved. Here, a humanized mouse model for DMD is created to help test the efficacy of genome editing to cure DMD. Additionally, to facilitate the analysis of exon skipping strategies in vivo in a non-invasive way, a reporter luciferase knock-in version of the mouse model was prepared. These humanized mouse models provide the ability to study correcting of mutations responsible for DMD in vivo .
