[0001] This application claims the benefit of and priority to US Provisional Application Serial No. 63 / 519,956, filed August 16, 2023, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. SEQUENCE LISTING
[0002] The present application is being filed along with a Sequence Listing in electronic format. The Sequence Listing file, entitled 14640_0091-00304_SL.xml, was created on June 21, 2024, and is 1,922,119 bytes in size. The information in electronic format of the Sequence Listing is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE
[0003] Described herein are compositions and methods relating to adeno-associated virus (AAV) viral particles for the delivery of polynucleotides, e.g., polynucleotides encoding glucosylceramidase beta 1 (GBA1) proteins and peptides for use in the treatment of GBA1-related disorders, which include Parkinson’s Disease (PD) and other GBA1-related disorders, including Gaucher Disease, Parkinson’s Disease Dementia (PDD), Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB), and Lewy Body Dementia (LBD). In some embodiments, compositions described herein may be used to treat a subject in need thereof, such as a human subject diagnosed with a GBA1-related disorder or other condition resulting from a deficiency in the quantity and / or function of GBA1 protein. BACKGROUND
[0004] Lysosomal acid glucosylceramidase, commonly called glucosylcerebrosidase or Gcase, a D- glucosyl-N-acylsphingosine glucohydrolase, is a lysosomal membrane protein important in glycolipid metabolism. The enzyme is encoded by the glucosylceramidase beta 1 (GBA1) gene (Ensembl Gene ID No. ENSG00000177628). This enzyme, together with Saposin A and Saposin C, catalyzes the hydrolysis of glucosylceramide to ceramide and glucose. See Vaccaro, Anna Maria, et al. Journal of Biological Chemistry 272.27 (1997): 16862-16867, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
[0005] Mutations in GBA are known to cause disease in human subjects. Homozygous or compound heterozygous GBA1 mutations lead to Gaucher disease (“GD”). See Sardi, S. Pablo, Jesse M. Cedarbaum, and Patrik Brundin. Movement Disorders 33.5 (2018): 684-696, the contents of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety. Gaucher disease is one of the most prevalent lysosomal storage disorders, with an estimated standardized birth incidence in the general population of between 0.4 to 5.8 individuals per 100,000. Heterozygous GBA1 mutations can lead to PD. Indeed, GBA1 mutations occur in 7-10% of total PD patients, making GBA1 mutations the most important genetic risk factor ofPD. PD-GBA patients have reduced levels of the lysosomal enzyme beta-glucocerebrosidase (Gcase), which results in increased accumulations of glycosphingolipid glucosylceramide (GluCer), which in turn is correlated with exacerbated Į-Synuclein aggregation and concomitant neurological symptoms. GD and PD, as well as other lysosomal storage disorders or Lewy body diseases such as Lewy Body Dementia (LBD). See Sidransky, E. and Lopez, G. Lancet Neurol.2012 November; 11(11): 986–998, the contents of which are incorporated by reference in their entirety.
[0006] To date, there are limited available treatments for GBA1-related disorders such as PD, and delivery to the adult central nervous system (CNS) remains a significant challenge in the development of new and effective therapies. Thus, there remains a long-felt need to develop pharmaceutical compositions and methods that can be delivered to the CNS for the treatment of PD and other GBA1-related disorders and to ameliorate deficiencies of GBA1 protein in subjects, e.g., human subjects, afflicted with GBA1- related disorders.
[0007] Adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) have emerged as a widely studied and utilized viral particles for delivery of therapeutically effective polypeptides to mammalian cells. See, e.g., Tratschin et al., Mol. Cell Biol., 5(11):3251-3260 (1985) and Grimm et al., Hum. Gene Ther., 10(15):2445-2450 (1999), the contents of each of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
[0008] There remains a need for effective methods of treatment using AAV capsids that are capable of delivering GBA1 to a target cell or tissue, e.g., a CNS cell or tissue. SUMMARY

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Overview
[0089] Described herein, inter alia, are compositions comprising an AAV capsid variant for delivery of a sequence encoding GBA1 protein, e.g., a wildtype GBA1 protein, e.g., a wildtype human GBA1 protein. In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides a method for delivering the AAV capsid variant comprising the sequence encoding the GBA1 protein to a cell or tissue in a subject. In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides a method for delivering the AAV capsid variant, thereby providing a GBA1 protein, e.g., wildtype GBA1 protein, e.g., a wildtype human GBA1 protein, to a cellor tissue in a subject. The AAV capsid variants described herein have enhanced CNS tropism compared to other cells or tissues in the body, e.g., liver and / or the DRG.
[0090] AAVs have proven to be useful as a biological tool due to their relatively simple structure, their ability to infect a wide range of cells (including quiescent and dividing cells) without integration into the host genome and without replicating, and their relatively benign immunogenic profile. Engineered adeno-associated virus (AAV) capsids with improved brain tropism represent an attractive solution to the limitations of CNS delivery. AAV-derived vectors are promising tools for clinical gene transfer because of their non-pathogenic nature, their low immunogenic profile, low rate of integration into the host genome, and long-term transgene expression in non-dividing cells. However, the transduction efficiency of naturally occurring AAVs in certain organs is too low for clinical applications, and capsid neutralization by pre-existing neutralizing antibodies may prevent treatment of a large proportion of patients. For these reasons, considerable efforts have been devoted to obtaining capsid variants with enhanced properties. Of many approaches tested so far, significant advances have resulted from directed evolution of AAV capsids using in vitro or in vivo selection of capsid variants created by capsid sequence randomization using either error-prone PCR, shuffling of various parent serotypes, or insertion of fully randomized short peptides at defined positions.
[0091] The genome of the virus may be modified to contain a minimum of components for the assembly of a functional recombinant virus, or viral particle, which is loaded with or engineered to target a particular tissue and express or deliver a desired payload. The genome of the virus may encode a GBA1 protein, and the viral particle comprising said genome may be delivered to a target cell, tissue, or organism. In some embodiments, the genome encodes a human GBA1 protein, e.g., a wildtype human GBA1 protein. In some embodiments, the target cell is a CNS cell. In some embodiments, the target tissue is a CNS tissue. In some embodiments, the target CNS tissue is brain tissue.
[0092] In some embodiments, the genome encodes a wildtype GBA1 protein. In some embodiments, the genome comprises a codon-optimized, CpG-reduced (e.g., CpG-depleted) nucleotide sequence encoding a wildtype GBA1 protein, e.g., as compared to a wildtype GBA1 encoding sequence (e.g., comprising the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1776 or 1777). In some embodiments, the target cell is a CNS cell. In some embodiments, the target tissue is a CNS tissue. The target CNS tissue may be brain tissue. In some embodiments, the CNS tissue comprises spinal cord, visual cortex, frontal cortex, temporal cortex, perirhinal cortex, globus pallidus, putamen, caudate, thalamus, substantia nigra, hippocampus, hilus of the dentate gyrus, geniculate nucleus, Purkinje cell layer, deep cerebellar nuclei, dentate nucleus, brainstem, and cerebellum, or a combination thereof.
[0093] Gene therapy presents an alternative approach for treating a GBA1-related disorder, e.g., Parkinson’s Disease (PD) or Gaucher Disease (GD). AAVs are commonly used in gene therapy approaches as a result of a number of advantageous features. Without wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed in some embodiments, an AAV particle described herein can be used to administer and / ordeliver a gene encoding GBA1 (e.g., a human GBA1 protein) preferentially to the CNS (e.g., the brain or the spinal cord).
[0094] Provided herein are compositions and methods which may provide for improved features compared to prior AAV-mediated enzyme replacement approaches, including (i) increased biodistribution throughout the CNS (e.g., spinal cord, visual cortex, frontal cortex, temporal cortex, perirhinal cortex, globus pallidus, putamen, caudate, thalamus, substantia nigra, hippocampus, hilus of the dentate gyrus, geniculate nucleus, Purkinje cell layer, deep cerebellar nuclei, dentate nucleus, brainstem, and / or cerebellum), (ii) elevated GBA1 expression in multiple brain regions (e.g., cortex, thalamus, and brain stem); and (iii) preferential biodistribution in the CNS over the liver and / or DRG, of the subject. In some embodiments, an AAV viral genome comprising a codon-optimized, CpG-reduced (e.g., CpG-depleted) nucleotide sequence encoding a GBA1 protein (e.g., SEQ ID NO: 2001 or SEQ ID NO: 2002) results in high biodistribution in the CNS; increased GCase activity in the CNS, peripheral tissues, and / or fluid; and successful transgene transcription and expression.
[0095] Also provided herein are AAV capsid variants (e.g., AAV5 capsid variants) with improved properties compared to wildtype AAV5 and / or wildtype AAV9, such as (i) increased penetrance through the blood brain barrier following intravenous administration, (ii) wider distribution throughout the multiple brain regions, e.g., visual cortex, frontal cortex, temporal cortex, perirhinal cortex, globus pallidus, putamen, caudate, thalamus, substantia nigra, hippocampus, hilus of the dentate gyrus, geniculate nucleus, Purkinje cell layer, deep cerebellar nuclei, dentate nucleus, brainstem, cerebellum, (iii) elevated GBA1 expression in multiple brain regions, (iv) wider distribution in one or more peripheral tissues, e.g., the heart, muscle, and / or liver, and / or (v) elevated GBA1 expression in one or more peripheral tissues. In some embodiments, the AAV capsids described herein enhance the delivery of GBA1 to multiple regions of the brain including, for example, the visual cortex, frontal cortex, temporal cortex, perirhinal cortex, globus pallidus, putamen, caudate, thalamus, substantia nigra, hippocampus, hilus of the dentate gyrus, geniculate nucleus, Purkinje cell layer, deep cerebellar nuclei, dentate nucleus, brainstem, cerebellum. In some embodiments, the AAV capsids described herein enhance the delivery of GBA1 to the spinal cord. In some embodiments, the AAV capsid variants with enhanced brain tropism described herein are capable of significantly increasing GBA1 mRNA expression in the brain.
[0096] Thus, the compositions and methods described herein can be used in the treatment of GBA1- related disorders. In some embodiments, GBA1-related disorders are disorders associated with a lack of GBA1 protein expression and / or GCase activity and include neuronopathic (affects the CNS) and non- neuronopathic (affects non-CNS) Gaucher disease (e.g., Type 1 GD (GD1), Type 2 GD (GD2), or Type 3 GD (GD3)), PD associated with at least one mutation in a GBA gene, Parkinson’s disease dementia (PDD), Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB), and Lewy Body Dementia (LBD). In some embodiments, the disclosure provides an AAV particle comprising one of the AAV capsid variants disclosed herein and an AAV viral genome comprising a codon-optimized, CpG-reduced (e.g., CpG-depleted) nucleotide sequence encoding a GBA1 protein (e.g., comprising the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2001 orSEQ ID NO: 2002 or a nucleotide sequence that is at least 90% identical to SEQ ID NO: 2001 or SEQ ID NO: 2002). In some embodiments, the codon-optimized, CpG-reduced e.g., CpG-depleted) nucleotide sequence has reduced immunogenicity compared to a codon-optimized sequence comprising one or more or all CpG motifs. In some embodiments, the codon-optimized, CpG-reduced e.g., CpG-depleted) nucleotide sequence is suitable for use in treating disorders associated with a lack of a GBA1 protein expression and / or GCase activity, such as neuronopathic (affects the CNS) and non-neuronopathic (affects non-CNS), Gaucher disease (e.g., GD1, GD2, or GD3), PD associated with at least one mutation in a GBA gene, Parkinson’s disease dementia (PDD), Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB), and Lewy Body Dementia (LBD). I. Compositions Adeno-associated viral (AAV) vectors
[0097] AAVs have a genome of about 5,000 nucleotides in length and contains two open reading frames encoding the proteins responsible for replication (Rep) and the structural protein of the capsid (Cap). The open reading frames are flanked by two Inverted Terminal Repeat (ITR) sequences, which serve as the origin of replication of the viral genome. The wild-type AAV viral genome comprises nucleotide sequences for two open reading frames, one for the four non-structural Rep proteins (Rep78, Rep68, Rep52, Rep40, encoded by Rep genes) and one for the three capsid, or structural, proteins (VP1, VP2, VP3, encoded by capsid genes or Cap genes). The Rep proteins are important for replication and packaging, while the capsid proteins are assembled to create the protein shell of the AAV, or AAV capsid. Alternative splicing and alternate initiation codons and promoters result in the generation of four different Rep proteins from a single open reading frame and the generation of three capsid proteins from a single open reading frame. Though it varies by AAV serotype, as a non-limiting example, for AAV5 (SEQ ID NO: 138 and 137) VP1 refers to amino acids 1-724, VP2 refers to amino acids 137-724, and VP3 refers to amino acids 193-724. In some embodiments, e.g., for the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 982, VP1 comprises amino acids 1-731, VP2 comprises amino acids 137-731, and VP3 comprises amino acids 193-731. In other words, VP1 is the full-length capsid protein sequence, while VP2 and VP3 are shorter components of the whole. As a result, changes in the sequence in the VP3 region, are also changes to VP1 and VP2, however, the percent difference as compared to the parent sequence will be greatest for VP3 since it is the shortest sequence of the three. Though described here in relation to the amino acid sequence, the nucleic acid sequence encoding these proteins can be similarly described. Together, the three capsid proteins assemble to create the AAV capsid protein. While not wishing to be bound by theory, the AAV capsid protein typically comprises a molar ratio of 1:1:10 of VP1:VP2:VP3.
[0098] The AAV particle typically requires a co-helper (e.g., adenovirus) to undergo productive infection in cells. In the absence of such helper functions, the AAV virions essentially enter host cells but do not integrate into the cells’ genome.
[0099] AAV particles have been investigated for delivery of gene therapeutics because of several unique features. Non-limiting examples of the features include (i) the ability to infect both dividing andnon-dividing cells; (ii) a broad host range for infectivity, including human cells; (iii) wild-type AAV has not been associated with any disease and has not been shown to replicate in infected cells; (iv) the lack of cell-mediated immune response against the vector, and (v) the non-integrative nature in a host chromosome thereby reducing potential for long-term genetic alterations. Moreover, infection with AAV particles has minimal influence on changing the pattern of cellular gene expression (Stilwell and Samulski et al., Biotechniques, 2003, 34, 148, the contents of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety).
[0100] Typically, AAV particles for GBA1 delivery may be recombinant viral vectors which are replication defective as they lack sequences encoding functional Rep and Cap proteins within the viral genome. In some cases, the replication defective AAV particles may lack most or all coding sequences and essentially only contain one or two AAV ITR sequences and a nucleic acid sequence encoding a GBA1 protein (e.g., a human GBA1 protein).
[0101] In some embodiments, the AAV particles of the present disclosure may be introduced into mammalian cells.
[0102] AAV particles may be modified to enhance the efficiency of delivery. Such modified AAV particles of the present disclosure can be packaged efficiently and can be used to successfully infect the target cells at high frequency and with minimal toxicity.
[0103] In other embodiments, AAV particles of the present disclosure may be used to deliver GBA1 to the CNS (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. No.6,180,613; the contents of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety) or to specific tissues of the CNS.
[0104] It is understood that the compositions described herein may have additional conservative or non-essential amino acid substitutions, which do not have a substantial effect on their functions.
[0105] In some embodiments, AAV capsid variants disclosed herein comprise one or more modifications (e.g., one or more substitutions) in the loop VIII region of AAV5. In some embodiments, the AAV5 loop VIII region comprises amino acid positions 571-579, e.g., position 577, numbered relative to SEQ ID NO: 138. In some embodiments, the AAV5 loop VIII region (e.g., positions 571-579, e.g., position 577) protrudes above the 3-fold axis of symmetry, e.g., is a surface-exposed location in the AAV5 capsid, e.g., as described in Govindasamy et al. “Structural Insights into Adeno-Associated Virus Serotype 5,” Journal of Virology, 2013, 87(20):11187-11199 (the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety). In some embodiments, the term "loop" (e.g., as used in loop VIII) is used interchangeably herein with the term "variable region" (e.g., variable region VIII), or "VR" (e.g., VR-VIII). In some embodiments, loop VIII (e.g., VR-VIII) comprises positions 571-599 (e.g., amino acids TNNQSSYPAEVVQKTAPATGTYNLQEIVP (SEQ ID NO: 756)), numbered according to SEQ ID NO: 982. In some embodiments, loop VIII or variable region VIII (VR-VIII) is as described in Govindasamy et al. (supra) (the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety).
[0106] The AAV particles and payloads of the disclosure may be delivered to one or more target cells, tissues, organs, or organisms. In some embodiments, the AAV particles of the disclosuredemonstrate enhanced tropism for a target cell type, tissue, or organ. As a non-limiting example, the AAV particle may have enhanced tropism for cells and tissues of the central or peripheral nervous systems (CNS and PNS, respectively). In some embodiments, an AAV particle of the disclosure may, in addition, or alternatively, have decreased tropism for a cell-type, tissue or organ.
[0107] In some embodiments, AAV are used as a biological tool due to a relatively simple structure, their ability to infect a wide range of cells (including quiescent and dividing cells) without integration into the host genome and without replicating, and their relatively benign immunogenic profile. The genome of the virus may be manipulated to contain a minimum of components for the assembly of a functional recombinant virus, or viral particle, which is loaded with or engineered to target a particular tissue and express or deliver a desired payload.
[0108] In some embodiments, the AAV is a recombinant AAV. In some embodiments, the wild-type AAV vector genome is a linear, single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) molecule approximately 5,000 nucleotides (nt) in length. In some embodiments, inverted terminal repeats (ITRs) cap the viral genome at both the 5’ and the 3’ end, providing origins of replication for the viral genome. In some embodiments, an AAV viral genome comprises two ITR sequences. In some embodiments, the ITRs have a characteristic T-shaped hairpin structure defined by a self-complementary region (145nt in wild-type AAV) at the 5’ and 3’ ends of the ssDNA which form an energetically stable double stranded region. In some embodiments, the double stranded hairpin structures comprise multiple functions including, but not limited to, acting as an origin for DNA replication by functioning as primers for the endogenous DNA polymerase complex of the host viral replication cell.
[0109] AAV vectors of the present disclosure may be produced recombinantly and may be based on adeno-associated virus (AAV) reference sequences. In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides for an AAV particle comprising a single-stranded viral genome (ssAAV). In addition to single stranded AAV viral genomes (e.g., ssAAVs), the present disclosure also provides for an AAV particle comprising a self-complementary viral genome (scAAV).
[0110] In some embodiments, a self-complementary viral genome (scAAV) may contain one or more DNA strands which anneal together to form double stranded DNA. By skipping second strand synthesis, scAAVs allow for rapid expression in the transduced cell. In some embodiments, the AAV particle of the present disclosure is an scAAV.
[0111] Methods for producing and / or modifying AAV particles are disclosed in the art such as pseudotyped AAV vectors (PCT Patent Publication Nos. WO200028004; WO200123001; WO2004112727; WO2005005610; and WO2005072364, the content of each of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety).
[0112] As described herein, the AAV particles of the disclosure comprising an AAV capsid variant, and a viral genome, have enhanced tropism for a cell-type or a tissue, e.g., a CNS cell-type, region, or tissue.Capsid Peptides
[0113] Disclosed herein are AAV particles comprising an AAV capsid variant comprising a peptide (e.g., inserted into a wildtype AAV capsid and / or in substitution of an amino acid or peptide in a wildtype AAV capsid) for enhanced or improved transduction of a target tissue (e.g., cells of the CNS or PNS). In some embodiments, the nucleic acid encoding the peptide is an isolatednucleic acid.
[0114] In some embodiments, the peptide may increase distribution of an AAV particle to a cell, region, or tissue of the CNS. The cell of the CNS may be, but is not limited to, neurons (e.g., excitatory, inhibitory, motor, sensory, autonomic, sympathetic, parasympathetic, Purkinje, Betz, etc.), glial cells (e.g., microglia, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes) and / or supporting cells of the brain such as immune cells (e.g., T cells). The tissue of the CNS may be, but is not limited to, the cortex (e.g., frontal, parietal, occipital, temporal), thalamus, hypothalamus, striatum, putamen, caudate nucleus, hippocampus, entorhinal cortex, basal ganglia, or deep cerebellar nuclei. In some embodiments, the tissue of the CNS is a visual cortex, frontal cortex, temporal cortex, perirhinal cortex, globus pallidus, putamen, caudate, thalamus, substantia nigra, hippocampus, hilus of the dentate gyrus, geniculate nucleus, Purkinje cell layer, deep cerebellar nuclei, cerebellum, cervical spinal cord, thoracic spinal cord, or lumbar spinal cord.
[0115] In some embodiments, the peptide may modulate distribution of an AAV particle to a cell, region, or tissue of the CNS. In some embodiments, the peptide may decrease distribution of an AAV particle to the DRG.
[0116] In some embodiments, the peptide may increase distribution of an AAV particle to the CNS (e.g., the cortex) after intravenous administration. In some embodiments, the peptide may increase distribution of an AAV particle to the CNS (e.g., the cortex) following focused ultrasound (FUS), e.g., coupled with the intravenous administration of microbubbles (FUS-MB), or MRI-guided FUS coupled with intravenous administration.
[0117] In some embodiments, the peptide may modulate distribution of an AAV particle to the PNS (e.g., DRG) after intravenous administration. In some embodiments, the peptide may increase distribution of an AAV particle to non-DRG cells of the PNS following focused ultrasound (FUS), e.g., coupled with the intravenous administration of microbubbles (FUS-MB), or MRI-guided FUS coupled with intravenous administration. In some embodiments, the peptide may decrease distribution of an AAV particle to the DRG following focused ultrasound (FUS), e.g., coupled with the intravenous administration of microbubbles (FUS-MB), or MRI-guided FUS coupled with intravenous administration.
[0118] In some embodiments, the peptide may increase distribution of an AAV particle to a cell, region, or tissue of a heart, e.g., a heart atrium or a heart ventricle. In some embodiments, the peptide may increase distribution of an AAV particle to a heart cell, region, or tissue after intravenous administration.
[0119] In some embodiments, the peptide may increase distribution of an AAV particle to a cell, region, or tissue of a muscle. In some embodiments, the muscle is a heart muscle (e.g., a heart atrium or aheart ventricle) or a quadriceps. In some embodiments, the peptide may increase distribution of an AAV particle to a muscle cell, region, or tissue after intravenous administration.
