In vivo genome editing of human haematopoietic stem cells for treatment of blood disorders using mRNA delivery
Ex vivo autologous haematopoietic stem cell (HSC) gene therapy provides a promising treatment option for haematological disorders. However, current methods involve complex processes and chemotherapeutic conditioning, leading to limited accessibility for treatment and major side effects. Here we develop antibody-free targeted lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) for mRNA delivery to HSCs in vivo, enabling efficient base editing of the γ-globin gene (HBG1/2) promoter target in human HSCs to reactivate fetal haemoglobin in derived erythroid cells. Delivery of ABE8e/sgRNA mRNA with optimized LNPs achieves efficient in vivo base editing of HBG1/2 in transfusion-dependent β-thalassaemia (TDT) patient-derived HSCs engrafted in immunodeficient NCG-X mice, showing restored globin chain balance in erythroid cells. Our research indicates that using LNPs for genome editor delivery achieves efficient editing of endogenous genes of human HSCs. This non-viral delivery system eliminates the need for collecting or mobilizing HSCs, providing a potent and one-time treatment potential for blood disorders such as sickle cell disease and TDT.
期刊介绍:
Nature Biomedical Engineering is an online-only monthly journal that was launched in January 2017. It aims to publish original research, reviews, and commentary focusing on applied biomedicine and health technology. The journal targets a diverse audience, including life scientists who are involved in developing experimental or computational systems and methods to enhance our understanding of human physiology. It also covers biomedical researchers and engineers who are engaged in designing or optimizing therapies, assays, devices, or procedures for diagnosing or treating diseases. Additionally, clinicians, who make use of research outputs to evaluate patient health or administer therapy in various clinical settings and healthcare contexts, are also part of the target audience.
