Pathogenic variants in CCDC40 are associated with more severe reduction of lung function compared to most other PCD types. Currently, no therapies correcting the underlying disease mechanism are available. Here we investigate the efficacy of lipidoid nanoparticle-formulated mRNA encoding human CCDC40 (LNP-CCDC40-mRNA) as a corrective measure for structural and functional defects in vitro (human cells) and in vivo (zebrafish). Human nasal respiratory epithelial cells cultured at air-liquid-interface from five CCDC40-deficient individuals and a newly generated vertebrate animal model (ccdc40-/- zebrafish) were treated with LNP-CCDC40-mRNA. CCDC40-deficient cells were analyzed by high-speed video microscopy and immunofluorescence microscopy. ccdc40-/- zebrafish olfactory pit cilia were analyzed by high-speed video microscopy and fluid flow assays. Topical application of exogenous LNP-CCDC40-mRNA to CCDC40-deficient cells results in endogenous CCDC40 expression (10-74% of ciliated cells), enabling axonemal integration of CCDC40-associated proteins (CCDC39, GAS8/DRC4, DNALI1).
