[0213] Preparation of vector

[0214] The vectors of the present application can be prepared by standard methods known in the art to provide vectors for gene therapy. Thus, well-established published transfection, assembly and purification methods can be used to prepare suitable vectors.

[0215] As mentioned above, in addition to the polynucleotide sequence encoding ND4, ND6 or ND1 or variants thereof, the vector of the present application may also contain the entire genome of a naturally occurring AAV virus. Typically, however, a derivatized genome will be used, eg having at least one inverted terminal repeat (ITR), but which may lack any AAV genes, eg rep or cap.

[0216] In such embodiments, in order for the derived genome to be packaged into an AAV virion, other genetic constructs providing AAV and / or helper virus function will be combined with the derived genome in the host cell. These additional constructs typically contain genes encoding AAV capsid proteins, cap, VP1...

Embodiment 1

[0289] Embodiment 1-ND4 plasmid and virus preparation

[0290] 1.1 Plasmid preparation

[0291] The nucleotide sequence (SEQ ID NO: 6) for human ND4 was obtained based on the National Center for Biotechnology Information reference sequence yp_003024035.1. The sequence of the unoptimized mitochondrial targeting sequence COX10 is SEQ ID NO:1. Optimized sequences for the mitochondrial targeting sequence COX10 (opt_COX10, SEQ ID NO:2) and the coding sequence of human ND4 (opt_ND4, SEQ ID NO:7) were designed to improve transcription efficiency and translation efficiency. The optimized COX10-ND4 sequence has approximately 75.89% homology to unoptimized COX10-ND4, followed by the untranslated region (i.e., 3' UTR, SEQ ID NO: 13), forming the recombinant nucleic acid, opt_COX10-opt_ND4-3' UTR (shown in SEQ ID NO: 31).

[0292] The synthetic recombinant nucleic acid opt_COX10-opt_ND4-3'UTR was incorporated into the adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector by PCR amplification ( figure 1...

Embodiment 2

[0302] Example 2 - Intravitreal injection of rAAV2 in rabbit eyes

[0303] Twelve rabbits were divided into two groups: rAAV2-ND4 and rAAV2-optimized ND4. Virus solution (1×10 10 vg / 0.05mL) into the vitreous from the vitreous at 3 mm lateral to the limbus. After intravitreal injection, examine the eye using a slit lamp and fundus photography. Inject for 30 days. Each group was tested by RT-PCR and immunoblotting.
