[0004] FIELD OF THEINVENTION The present invention relates generally to lysosomal diseases associated with malfunctioning transmembrane lysosomal proteins, and more specifically to the treatment of such diseases by hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (HSPC) gene therapy. [Background technology]
[0005] Background information Lysosomal membrane proteins act at several critical stages of the lysosomal life cycle, including acidification of the lumen, excretion of metabolic products, recruitment of molecular motors, and fusion with other organelles. Lysosomal storage diseases are a group of inherited metabolic disorders resulting from defects in lysosomal function. Lysosomes are enzyme-containing sacs inside the cell that digest large molecules and send their fragments to other parts of the cell for recycling. This process requires several essential enzymes. If one of these enzymes is defective (e.g., due to a mutation), large molecules accumulate inside the cell and eventually kill the cell.
[0006] Some of the approximately 50 known lysosomal storage diseases are caused by the malfunction of lysosomal membrane proteins. One such lysosomal membrane protein disease is cystinosis, which is characterized by abnormal accumulation of the amino acid cystine in all cells of the body, leading to multiple organ failure. Cystinosis is caused by mutations in the CTNS gene, which encodes cystinosin, a cystine transporter specific to the lysosomal membrane. The intracellular metabolism of cystine, as with all amino acids, requires that cystine be transported across the cell membrane. Normally, cystine is transported to the cytosol after endocytosed proteins are degraded to cystine in lysosomes. However, when the transport protein is defective, cystine accumulates in lysosomes. Because cystine is extremely insoluble, when its concentration in tissue lysosomes increases, it quickly exceeds its solubility, and crystalline precipitates form in almost all organs and tissues. Another example is Danon disease, which is caused by mutations in the LAMP-2 gene, a lysosomal transmembrane protein essential for autophagic flux.
[0007] To date, there are no known cures or preventative measures for such lysosomal diseases, and current therapies are aimed at treating the associated symptoms. Thus, there is a need in the art for alternative or improved methods for treating lysosomal diseases / disorders. Summary of the Invention

[0018] Detailed Description of the Invention The present invention is based in part on the finding that self-inactivating (SIN) lentiviral vectors containing coding human cystinosine (CTNS) or LAMP-2 cDNA and functional promoter can be used to ex vivo gene correct a patient's autologous hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs), which can then be re-implanted into the patient to repopulate their bone marrow, which will become a reservoir of "healthy" cells for the rest of the patient's life. These cells are mobilized and integrated into diseased tissues, brain, muscle, heart, and rescue them. Although autologous HSPCs are used in the illustrative examples herein, those skilled in the art will recognize that other HSPCs (e.g., allogeneic) would be similarly useful.
[0019] Before describing the compositions and methods of the present invention, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the particular compositions, methods, and experimental conditions described, as such compositions, methods, and conditions may vary. It is also to be understood that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only, and is not intended to be limiting, since the scope of the present invention will be limited only by the appended claims.
[0020] As used in this specification and the appended claims, the singular forms "a," "an," and "the" include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Thus, for example, reference to "the method" includes one or more methods and / or steps of the type described herein that would become apparent to those skilled in the art upon reading this disclosure, and so forth.
[0021] The term "comprising," which is used synonymously with "including," "containing," or "characterized by," is inclusive or open-ended language and does not exclude additional unrecited elements or method steps. The phrase "consisting of" excludes any elements, steps, or ingredients not specified in the claim. The phrase "consisting essentially of" limits the scope of the claim to those materials or steps specified, and those that do not materially affect the basic and novel characteristics of the claimed invention. The present disclosure contemplates embodiments of the compositions and methods of the invention that correspond to the scope of each of these phrases. Thus, a composition or method that includes recited elements or steps contemplates certain embodiments in which the composition or method consists essentially of or consists of those elements or steps.
[0022] Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this invention belongs. Although any methods and materials similar or equivalent to those described herein can be used in the practice or testing of the present invention, the preferred methods and materials are described below.
[0023] The term "subject" or "host organism" as used herein refers to any individual or patient on which the method of the present invention is carried out.Generally, the subject is a human being, but those skilled in the art will recognize that the subject can also be an animal.Therefore, other animals are included in the definition of subject, including mammals such as rodents (including mice, rats, hamsters, and guinea pigs), cats, dogs, rabbits, livestock (including cows, horses, goats, sheep, pigs, etc.), and primates (including monkeys, chimpanzees, orangutans, and gorillas).
[0024] The term "biological sample" refers to any sample taken from a participant, including but not limited to cells, blood, tissue, skin, urine, etc., or hair.
[0025] The term "buccal mucosa" means the inner lining of the cheeks and floor of the mouth.
[0026] The term "therapeutically effective amount" or "effective amount" refers to an amount of a compound or pharmaceutical composition that elicits a biological or medical response in a tissue, system, animal, or human that is desired by a researcher, veterinarian, physician, or other clinician. Thus, the term "therapeutically effective amount" is used herein to refer to any amount of a formulation that, when applied repeatedly to the affected area over a period of time, causes substantial improvement of a disease state. This amount varies depending on the condition being treated, the stage of progression of the condition, and the type and concentration of the formulation applied. The appropriate amount in any given example will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art or can be determined by routine experimentation. In the case of cystinosine, an example of a therapeutically effective amount of an agent, such as a population of hematopoietic stem cells that have been transduced, genetically corrected, or otherwise modified to express a human cystinosine transgene, is an amount sufficient to reduce the amount of cystine (e.g., crystalline cystine) in the lysosomes of a patient's cells, such as kidney, liver, lung, spleen, muscle, brain, and / or heart cells.
[0027] "Dosage" or "dose" is defined to include, and is included within, a specified magnitude, frequency, or exposure level.
[0028] As used herein, a "therapeutic effect" encompasses the therapeutic benefits and / or prophylactic benefits described herein.
[0029] The term "administration" or "administering" is defined to include the act of providing a compound or pharmaceutical composition of the present invention to a subject in need of treatment. As used herein, the phrases "parenteral administration" and "administered parenterally" refer to modes of administration other than enteral and topical administration, usually orally or by injection, including, but not limited to, intravenous, intramuscular, intraarterial, intrathecal, intracapsular, intraorbital, intracardiac, intradermal, intraperitoneal, transtracheal, subcutaneous, subcuticular, intraarticular, subcapsular, subarachnoid, intraspinal, and substernal injection and infusion. As used herein, the phrases "systemic administration", "administered systemically", "peripheral administration", and "administered peripherally" refer to administration of a compound, drug, or other substance other than direct administration to the central nervous system, e.g., subcutaneous administration, so that it enters the subject's body and is therefore subject to metabolism and other similar processes.
[0030] If cell type specific viral vectors are not available, vectors can be modified to express receptors (or ligands) specific to the ligands (or receptors) expressed on target cells, or can be encapsulated in liposomes that can also be modified to contain such ligands (or receptors). Peptide agents can be introduced into cells by a variety of methods, including engineering peptides to contain protein transduction domains, such as the human immunodeficiency virus TAT protein transduction domain, which can facilitate the transfer of peptides into cells. In addition, there are also a variety of biomaterial-based technologies, such as nanocages and pharmacological delivery wafers (as used in brain cancer chemotherapy drugs), which can also be modified to accommodate this technology.
[0031] The most commonly evaluated viral vectors for gene transfer are DNA-based adenovirus (Ad) and adeno-associated virus (AAV), and RNA-based retrovirus and lentivirus. Lentivirus vectors have been most commonly used to achieve chromosomal integration.
[0032] The term "parenchymal" refers to a functional portion of an organ, which may include structural portions of the same organ and / or adjacent organs.
[0033] As used herein, the terms "reduce" and "inhibit" are used together. This is because it is recognized that in some cases, the decrease can be reduced to below the detection level of a particular assay. Therefore, it may not always be clear whether expression level or activity is "reduced" to below the detection level of a certain assay or is "inhibited" completely. Nevertheless, it can be clearly determined after treatment by the method of the present invention.
[0034] As used herein, "treatment" or "treating" refers to administering a composition to a subject or body having an unwanted condition. The condition can include a disease or disorder. "Prevention" or "preventing" refers to administering a composition to a subject or body having a risk of the condition. The condition can include a predisposition to a disease or disorder. The effect of administering a composition to a subject (either treating and / or preventing) can be, but is not limited to, arresting one or more symptoms of the condition, reducing or preventing one or more symptoms of the condition, reducing the severity of the condition, eliminating the condition altogether, stabilizing or delaying the development or progression of a particular event or trait, or minimizing the likelihood of a particular event or trait occurring.
[0035] As used herein, the term "genetic modification" is used to mean any manipulation of the genetic material of an organism in a manner that does not occur under natural conditions. Methods for carrying out such manipulations are known to those skilled in the art, and include, but are not limited to, the technique of using vectors to transform cells with nucleic acid sequences of interest. Various forms of gene editing are included in this definition, using engineered nucleases or "molecular scissors" to insert, delete, or replace DNA in the genome of an organism. These nucleases create site-specific double-strand breaks (DSBs) at desired positions in the genome. The induced double-strand breaks are repaired through non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) or homologous recombination (HR), resulting in targeted mutations (i.e., editing).
[0036] There are several families of engineered nucleases used in gene editing, including but not limited to meganucleases, zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs), transcription activator-like effector-based nucleases (TALENs), CRISPR-Cas systems, and ARCUS.However, it should be understood that any known gene editing system that utilizes engineered nucleases can be used in the methods described herein.
[0037] CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) is an acronym for DNA loci that contain multiple short direct repeats of base sequences. Prokaryotic CRISPR / Cas system has been adapted for use as gene editing (silencing, enhancing or modifying specific genes) for use in eukaryotes (see, for example, Cong, Science, 15:339(6121):819-823 (2013) and Jinek, et al., Science, 337(6096):816-21 (2012)). By transfecting cells with Cas gene and specifically designed CRISPR-containing elements, nucleic acid sequences can be cut and modified at any desired position. Methods of preparing compositions for use in genome editing using the CRISPR / Cas system are described in detail in U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2016 / 0340661, U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2016 / 0340662, U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2016 / 0354487, U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2016 / 0355796, U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2016 / 0355797, and WO 2014 / 018423, which are specifically incorporated by reference in their entireties.
[0038] Thus, as used herein, "CRISPR system" refers collectively to the transcripts and other elements involved in directing the expression or activity of CRISPR-associated ("Cas") genes, including sequences encoding Cas genes, tracr (trans-activating CRISPR) sequences (e.g., tracrRNA or active partial tracrRNA), tracr mate sequences (which in endogenous CRISPR systems encompass "direct repeat sequences" and partial direct repeat sequences processed by tracrRNA), guide sequences (also called "spacers", "guide RNAs", or "gRNAs" in endogenous CRISPR systems), or other sequences and transcripts derived from the CRISPR locus. One or more tracr mate sequences (e.g., direct repeat sequences-spacer-direct repeat sequences) operably linked to a guide sequence may also be referred to as "pre-crRNA" (pre-CRISPR RNA) before processing, or as crRNA after processing by nucleases.
[0039] In some embodiments, as described in Cong, Science, 15:339(6121):819-823 (2013) and Jinek, et al., Science, 337(6096):816-21 (2012), the tracrRNA and crRNA combine to form a chimeric crRNA-tracrRNA hybrid in which the mature crRNA is fused to a partial tracrRNA via a synthetic stem-loop to mimic the natural crRNA:tracrRNA duplex. A single fusion crRNA-tracrRNA construct may also be referred to as a guide RNA or gRNA (or single guide RNA (sgRNA)). Within the sgRNA, the crRNA portion may be identified as the "target sequence" and the tracrRNA is often referred to as the "scaffold."
[0040] Many sources of information are available to help practitioners determine appropriate target sites after the desired DNA target sequence is identified. For example, many public sources of information are available, including a bioinformatics-generated list of about 190,000 potential sgRNAs that target more than 40% of human exons, to help practitioners select target sites and design related sgRNAs to affect nicks or double-strand breaks at those sites. See also crispr.u-psud.fr, a tool designed to help scientists find CRISPR target sites in various species and create appropriate crRNA sequences.
[0041] In some embodiments, one or more vectors driving the expression of one or more elements of the CRISPR system are introduced into the target cell, which results in the expression of the elements of the CRISPR system and directs the formation of a CRISPR complex at one or more target sites. Although details can vary for different engineered CRISPR systems, the general methodology is similar. Practitioners interested in targeting DNA sequences using CRISPR technology can insert a short DNA fragment containing the target sequence into a guide RNA expression plasmid. The sgRNA expression plasmid contains the target sequence (about 20 nucleotides), a form of tracrRNA sequence (scaffold), as well as a suitable promoter and elements necessary for proper processing in eukaryotic cells. Such vectors are commercially available (see, for example, Addgene). Many of the systems rely on custom-made complementary oligos that are annealed to form double-stranded DNA and then cloned into the sgRNA expression plasmid. Co-expression of the sgRNA and the appropriate Cas enzyme from the same or separate plasmids in the transfected cell results in single- or double-stranded cleavage (depending on the activity of the Cas enzyme) at the desired target site.
[0042] Zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs) are artificial restriction enzymes created by fusing a zinc finger DNA binding domain to a DNA cleavage domain. The zinc finger domain can be engineered to target specific desired DNA sequences, allowing zinc finger nucleases to target unique sequences within complex genomes. By exploiting endogenous DNA repair mechanisms, these reagents can be used to precisely modify the genomes of higher organisms. The most common cleavage domain is the type IIS enzyme Fok 1. Fok 1 catalyzes double-stranded cleavage of DNA, 9 nucleotides from its recognition site on one strand and 13 nucleotides from its recognition site on the other strand. See, for example, U.S. Patent Nos. 5,356,802; 5,436,150; and 5,487,994; and Li et al. Proc., Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 89 (1992):4275-4279; Li et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 90:2764-2768 (1993); Kim et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 91:883-887 (1994a); Kim et al. J. Biol. Chem. 269:31,978-31,982 (1994b), all of which are incorporated herein by reference. One or more of these enzymes (or enzymatically functional fragments thereof) can be used as a source of cleavage domains.
[0043] Transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs) have an overall organization similar to that of ZFNs, with the main difference being that the DNA-binding domain is derived from TAL effector proteins, transcription factors from plant pathogenic bacteria. The DNA-binding domain of TALENs is a tandem array of amino acid repeats, each about 34 residues long. These repeats are very similar to each other and typically differ primarily at two positions (amino acids 12 and 13, called repeat variable diresidues or RVDs). Each RVD specifies preferential binding to one of four possible nucleotides, meaning that each TALEN repeat binds to a single base pair, except that the NN RVD is known to bind adenine in addition to guanine. TAL effector DNA binding is mechanistically less well understood than that of zinc finger proteins, but their potentially simpler code can be of great advantage to the design of engineered nucleases. TALENs also cleave as dimers, have relatively long target sequences (the shortest reported to date binds 13 nucleotides per monomer), and appear to have less stringent requirements on the length of the spacer between binding sites than ZFNs. Monomeric and dimeric TALENs can contain more than 10, more than 14, more than 20, or more than 24 repeats. Methods for engineering TALs to bind to specific nucleic acids are described in Cermak, et al, Nucl. Acids Res. 1-11 (2011); US Patent Publication No. 2011 / 0145940, which discloses TAL effectors and methods for using them to modify DNA; and Miller et al. Nature Biotechnol 29: 143 (2011), which reports the creation of TALENs for site-specific nuclease construction by linking TAL truncation mutants to the catalytic domain of Fok1 nuclease. The resulting TALENs have been shown to induce genetic modifications in immortalized human cells. General design principles for TALE binding domains can be found, for example, in WO 2011 / 072246. Each of the aforementioned references is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
[0044] The nuclease activity of the genome editing system described herein cleaves the target DNA, resulting in single-stranded or double-stranded breaks in the target DNA. Cells can repair double-stranded breaks in one of two ways: non-homologous end joining and homologous recombination repair. In non-homologous end joining (NHEJ), double-stranded breaks are repaired by directly linking the cut ends together. Thus, no new nucleic acid material is inserted at the site, but some nucleic acid material may be lost, resulting in a deletion. In homologous recombination repair, a donor polynucleotide with homology to the cut target DNA sequence is used as a template to repair the cut target DNA sequence, resulting in the transfer of genetic information from the donor polynucleotide to the target DNA. Thus, new nucleic acid material can be inserted / copied at the site. Thus, in some embodiments, genome editing vectors or compositions optionally include donor polynucleotides. Targeted DNA modification by NHEJ and / or homology directed repair can be used to induce gene correction, gene replacement, gene tagging, transgene insertion, nucleotide deletion, gene disruption, gene mutation, and the like.
[0045] Thus, DNA cleavage by a genome editing vector or composition can be used to delete nucleic acid material from a target DNA sequence by cleaving the target DNA sequence and allowing the cell to repair the sequence in the absence of an exogenously provided donor polynucleotide. Alternatively, when a genome editing composition includes a donor polynucleotide sequence that includes at least one segment with homology to a target DNA sequence, these methods can be used to add, i.e., insert or replace, nucleic acid material to a target DNA sequence (e.g., "knock in" a nucleic acid encoding a protein, siRNA, miRNA, etc.), add tags (e.g., 6xHis (SEQ ID NO: 27), fluorescent proteins (e.g., green fluorescent protein, yellow fluorescent protein, etc.), hemagglutinin (HA), FLAG, etc.), add regulatory sequences to genes (e.g., promoters, polyadenylation signals, internal ribosome entry sequences (IRES), 2A peptides, start codons, stop codons, splicing signals, localization signals, etc.), and modify nucleic acid sequences (e.g., introduce mutations), etc. Thus, these compositions can be used to modify DNA in a site-specific or "targeted" manner, e.g., gene knock-out, gene knock-in, gene editing, gene tagging, etc., as used in gene therapy.
[0046] ARCUS is a genome editing platform derived from naturally occurring genome editing enzymes called "homing endonucleases". Homing endonucleases are site-specific DNA cleavage enzymes encoded in the genomes of many eukaryotic species that can precisely recognize long DNA sequences (12-40 base pairs). These non-destructive enzymes trigger gene conversion events that modify genomes in a highly precise manner, most frequently by the insertion of novel DNA sequences. Thus, the ARCUS genome editing platform relies on engineered ARC nucleases, fully synthetic enzymes that are similar to homing endonucleases but with enhanced specificity to recognize DNA sequences within any target gene.
[0047] The terms "polypeptide," "peptide," and "protein" are used interchangeably herein to refer to a polymer of amino acid residues. These terms apply to amino acid polymers in which one or more amino acid residues are artificial chemical mimetics of a corresponding naturally occurring amino acid, as well as to naturally occurring and non-naturally occurring amino acid polymers.
[0048] The term "amino acid" refers to natural and synthetic amino acids, as well as amino acid analogs and amino acid mimetics that function in a manner similar to natural amino acids. Natural amino acids are those encoded by the genetic code, as well as those that are later modified, such as hydroxyproline, α-carboxyglutamic acid, and O-phosphoserine. Amino acid analogs refer to compounds that have the same basic chemical structure as natural amino acids, i.e., an α-carbon bonded to a hydrogen, a carboxyl group, an amino group, and an R group, such as homoserine, norleucine, methionine sulfoxide, and methionine methylsulfonium. Such analogs have modified R groups (e.g., norleucine) or modified peptide backbones, but maintain the same basic chemical structure as natural amino acids. Amino acid mimetics refer to chemical compounds that have a structure that is different from the general chemical structure of amino acids, but function in a manner similar to natural amino acids.
[0049] Amino acids may be referred to herein by either their commonly known three letter symbols or the one-letter symbols recommended by the IUPAC-IUB Biochemical Nomenclature Commission. Nucleotides, likewise, may be referred to by their commonly accepted one-letter symbols.
[0050] As used herein, a "regulatory gene" or "regulatory sequence" is a nucleic acid sequence that encodes a product (eg, a transcription factor) that controls the expression of other genes.
[0051] As used herein, a "protein coding sequence" or a sequence that codes for a particular protein or polypeptide is a nucleic acid sequence that is transcribed (in the case of DNA) into mRNA and translated (in the case of mRNA) into a polypeptide in vitro or in vivo when placed under the control of appropriate regulatory sequences. The boundaries of the coding sequence are determined by a start codon at the 5'-terminus (N-terminus) and a translation stop nonsense codon at the 3'-terminus (C-terminus). Coding sequences can include, but are not limited to, cDNA derived from eukaryotic mRNA, genomic DNA sequences derived from eukaryotic DNA, and synthetic nucleic acids. Usually, a transcription termination sequence is located 3' to the coding sequence.
[0052] As used herein, a "promoter" is defined as a regulatory DNA sequence, usually located upstream of a gene, which directs RNA polymerase to bind to DNA and initiate RNA synthesis, thereby realizing transcription initiation. A promoter can be a constitutively active promoter (i.e., a promoter that is constitutively active / "ON"); a promoter can be an inducible promoter (i.e., a promoter whose active / "ON" or inactive / "OFF" state is controlled by an external stimulus, such as the presence of a specific compound or protein); a promoter can be a spatially restricted promoter (i.e., a transcription control element, enhancer, etc.) (e.g., a tissue-specific promoter, a cell type-specific promoter, etc.); and a promoter can be a temporally restricted promoter (i.e., the promoter is in "ON" or "OFF" state during a specific stage of embryo development or during a specific stage of a biological process). Thus, in various embodiments, a promoter can be a stem cell-specific promoter that drives transgene expression. For example, constitutive promoters of various strengths can be used. The expression vector and plasmid according to the present invention may comprise one or more constitutive promoters, such as viral promoters or promoters derived from mammalian genes that are normally active in promoting transcription.Exemplary promoters include, but are not limited to, human elongation factor 1α promoter (EFS), SV40 early promoter, mouse mammary tumor virus long terminal repeat (LTR) promoter; adenovirus major late promoter (Ad MLP); herpes simplex virus (HSV) promoter, endogenous cellular promoters that are heterologous to the gene of interest, cytomegalovirus (CMV) promoters such as CMV immediate early promoter region (CMVIE), Rous sarcoma virus (RSV) promoter, synthetic promoters, and hybrid promoters.
[0053] As used herein, the term "gene" refers to a deoxyribonucleotide sequence that comprises the coding region of a structural gene. A "gene" may also include non-translated sequences located adjacent to both the 5' and 3' ends of the coding region such that the gene corresponds to the length of the full-length mRNA. The sequences located 5' of the coding region and present on the mRNA are referred to as 5' non-translated sequences. The sequences located 3' or downstream of the coding region and present on the mRNA are referred to as 3' non-translated sequences. The term "gene" encompasses both cDNA and genomic forms of a gene. A genomic form or clone of a gene contains a coding region interrupted by non-coding sequences called "introns" or "intervening regions" or "intervening sequences". Introns are segments of a gene that are transcribed into heterogeneous nuclear RNA (hnRNA). Introns may include regulatory elements such as enhancers. Introns are removed or "spliced out" from the nuclear or primary transcript. Introns are therefore absent in messenger RNA (mRNA) transcripts. The mRNA functions during translation to specify the sequence or order of amino acids in a nascent polypeptide.
[0054] As used herein, the terms "operably linked" and "functionally linked" are used interchangeably and refer to the functional relationship between two or more DNA segments, particularly between the gene sequence to be expressed and the sequence that controls those sequences.For example, a promoter / enhancer sequence, including any combination of cis-acting transcriptional control elements, is functionally linked to a coding sequence if it promotes or regulates the transcription of that coding sequence in a suitable host cell or other expression system.The promoter regulatory sequence that is functionally linked to the gene sequence to be transcribed is physically adjacent to the transcription sequence.
[0055] "Conservatively modified variants" applies to both amino acid and nucleic acid sequences. With respect to a particular nucleic acid sequence, conservatively modified variants refer to nucleic acids that code for the same or essentially identical amino acid sequences, or, if the nucleic acid does not code for an amino acid sequence, essentially the same sequence. Due to the degeneracy of the genetic code, a large number of functionally identical nucleic acids code for any given protein. For example, the codons GCA, GCC, GCG, and GCU all code for the amino acid alanine. Thus, at every position where alanine is specified by a codon, the codon can be altered to any of the corresponding codons described without altering the encoded polypeptide. Such nucleic acid variants are "silent variants," which are a type of conservatively modified variant. Any nucleic acid sequence herein that codes for a polypeptide also provides a description of all possible silent variants of that nucleic acid. Those skilled in the art will recognize that each codon in a nucleic acid (except AUG, which is usually the only codon for methionine, and TGG, which is usually the only codon for tryptophan) can be altered to obtain a functionally identical molecule. Accordingly, each silent variation of a nucleic acid which encodes a polypeptide is implicit in each described sequence.
[0056] With respect to amino acid sequences, one of skill in the art will recognize that individual substitutions, deletions, or additions to a nucleic acid, peptide, polypeptide, or protein sequence that alter, add, or delete a single amino acid or a small percentage of amino acids in the encoded sequence are "conservatively modified variants" if the alteration results in the replacement of an amino acid with a chemically similar amino acid. Conservative substitution tables providing functionally similar amino acids are well known in the art. Such conservatively modified variants are in addition to, and do not exclude, polymorphic variants, interspecies homologs, and alleles of the invention.
[0057] The term "antibody" as used herein refers to polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies and their fragments and their immunological binding equivalents. The term "antibody" refers to a homogenous molecular entity or a mixture, such as a polyclonal serum product, composed of multiple different molecular entities, and broadly includes naturally occurring forms of antibodies (e.g., IgG, IgA, IgM, IgE) as well as recombinant antibodies, such as single-chain antibodies, chimeric antibodies and humanized antibodies, and multispecific antibodies. The term "antibody" also refers to fragments and derivatives of all the above, and may further include any modified or derivatized variants thereof that maintain the ability to specifically bind to an epitope. Antibody derivatives may include protein or chemical moieties attached to the antibody. Monoclonal antibodies can selectively bind to a target antigen or epitope. Antibodies may include, but are not limited to, polyclonal antibodies, monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), humanized or chimeric antibodies, camelized antibodies, single chain antibodies (scFv), Fab fragments, F(ab')2 fragments, disulfide-linked Fv (sdFv) fragments, such as those produced by a Fab expression library, anti-idiotypic (anti-Id) antibodies, intrabodies, nanobodies, synthetic antibodies, and epitope-binding fragments of any of the above.
[0058] As used herein, the term "humanized mouse" (Hu mouse) refers to a mouse that has been developed to have functional human genes, cells, tissues, and / or organs.Humanized mice are often used as small animal models in biological and medical research of human therapeutic substances.Immune-deficient mice are often used as recipients of human cells or tissues, because they can relatively easily accept xenogeneic cells due to the lack of host immunity.
[0059] HSCs have the capacity for multipotency (i.e., one HSC can differentiate into all types of functional blood cells) and self-renewal (i.e., HSCs can divide and give rise to identical daughter cells without differentiating). Through a series of lineage commitment steps, HSCs gradually lose the ability to self-renew and subsequently give rise to progeny with increasingly restricted differentiation capacity, which give rise to multipotent but lineage-committed progenitor cells and, ultimately, mature, functional circulating blood cells.
[0060] The ability of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) to self-renew and differentiate is fundamental to the establishment and maintenance of hematopoiesis throughout life, and deregulation of these processes can lead to severe clinical outcomes. HSPCs are also highly beneficial due to their ability to reconstitute the hematopoietic system when transplanted, which has enabled their use in the clinical setting to treat a variety of disorders, including bone marrow failure, myeloproliferative disorders, and other acquired or genetic disorders that affect blood cells.
[0061] As used herein, "pluripotent cells" refer to cells derived from an embryo resulting from activation of cells containing DNA from all females or males, and which can be maintained in vitro for long, theoretically indefinite periods, in an undifferentiated state capable of giving rise to various differentiated tissue types, i.e., ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. "Embryonic stem cells" (ES cells) are pluripotent stem cells derived from the inner cell mass of the blastocyst, i.e., the early preimplantation embryo.
[0062] As used herein, "autologous transplantation" refers to transplantation using the subject's own stem cells. These cells are collected in advance and returned at a later stage. Thus, "allogeneic transplantation" refers to transplantation in which the donor and recipient of stem cells are different people. Exemplary allogeneic cells include, but are not limited to, syngeneic cells, MHC-matched cells, etc.
[0063] As used herein, "pharmaceutically acceptable carrier" includes any of the standard pharmaceutical carriers, such as phosphate buffered saline, water, and emulsions such as oil / water or water / oil emulsions, as well as various types of wetting agents.
[0064] As used herein, "lysosomal protein disorder" or "lysosomal protein disease" refers to any metabolic disorder resulting from defective lysosomal function. Such diseases / disorders, also called "lysosomal storage disorders", are typically caused by lysosomal dysfunction that usually results from the deficiency of a single enzyme required for the metabolism of lipids, glycoproteins (proteins containing sugars), or so-called mucopolysaccharides. Exemplary lysosomal storage disorders include, but are not limited to, cystinosis, Salla disease, infantile sialic acid storage disorder, cobalamin disease type F, neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (both late-onset childhood and juvenile forms), malignant infantile osteopetrosis, mucolipidosis IV, mucopolysaccharidosis type IIIC (Sanfilippo syndrome type C), Niemann-Pick disease type C, and Danon disease (Ruivo, et al. Biochimica et Biophysica Acta 1793 (2009) 636-649, incorporated herein by reference).
[0065] For example, cystinosis is an autosomal metabolic disease that belongs to the family of lysosomal storage disorders. Cystinosis has devastating effects on affected individuals, primarily children and young adults, even with cysteamine treatment. The prevalence of cystinosis is 1:100,000 to 1:200,000. The gene involved in cystinosis is the gene CTNS, which codes for cystinosin, a seven-transmembrane lysosomal cystine transporter. The most severe and most frequent form of cystinosis is the infantile form, also called nephropathic cystinosis. Children develop renal Fanconi syndrome, characterized by severe fluid and electrolyte disturbances, growth retardation, and rickets, at 6 to 8 months of age. The gradual loss of renal glomerular function leads to kidney failure; according to the NAPRTCS' (North American Pediatric Renal Trials and Collaborative Studies), cystinosis affects 1.4% of children undergoing dialysis (2011 Annual Dialysis Report) and 2.1% of children undergoing kidney transplants (2010 Annual Transplant Report). Cystinosis as a clinical entity is also a progressive multi-organ dysfunction caused by the accumulation of cystine in the lysosomes of all cells in the body; affected patients store 50-100 times the normal amount of cystine in their cells.
[0066] Cystine accumulation leads to the formation of cystine crystals in all tissues. Major clinical complications of cystinosis include diabetes, hypothyroidism, myopathy, and central nervous system decline. Corneal cystine crystals appear from 0-10 years of age, resulting in photophobia and visual impairment. Dysphagia is directly correlated to muscle atrophy and is the major cause of death in cystinosis. In addition to cystine accumulation, cellular dysfunctions such as abnormal vesicular trafficking, autophagy, and TFEB (Transcription Factor EB) signaling have also been described to contribute to the pathogenesis of cystinosis.
[0067] The currently used treatment for cystinosis is the drug cysteamine (mercaptoethylamine), which reduces intracellular cystine content. However, this therapy only slows the progression of the disease and has no effect on renal Fanconi syndrome or prevents end-stage renal failure in affected patients. Cysteamine has also been shown to be inefficient in improving cellular dysfunction in CTNS-deficient cells, proving that the cellular defects in cystinosis are not due solely to cystine accumulation, but also to the lack of cystinosin itself, which directly interacts with key cellular components.
[0068] Furthermore, cysteamine must be taken every 6 hours, including at night, and causes body odor and severe gastrointestinal side effects such as vomiting and diarrhea, making treatment compliance difficult. In 2013, a delayed-release formulation of cysteamine (PROCYSBI®) was approved by the FDA. PROCYSBI requires dosing every 12 hours. Although PROCYSBI® improves the quality of life of patients by reducing the frequency of dosing, the impact on the disease is similar to immediate-release cysteamine, and patients still experience gastric side effects. Furthermore, the cost of this pharmaceutical is very high, costing $300,000 to $600,000 per patient per year.
[0069] The eye lesions of cystinosis require hourly topical cysteamine eye drops, which cause irritation and burning, making compliance very difficult. The cost of the eye drops is approximately $50,000 per patient per year. Cysteamine and supplemental treatments for all complications related to cystinosis require patients to take up to 60 pills per day; often, in children, a gastric tube must be placed so that they can tolerate these medical drugs and obtain essential caloric intake. The severity and number of medical complications increases with age, resulting in new and ever-increasing symptoms and treatments. There is an endless stream of doctor appointments, G-tube feedings, frequent blood draws, growth hormone injections, bone pain, routine vomiting, eye pain, and severe gastrointestinal side effects. As the disease progresses, the patient becomes physically weaker. The most severe complications in adults are myopathy, lung problems, and the development of corneal cystinosis. Patients with kidney failure require dialysis or transplantation, both of which have significant adverse health effects and, due to the extreme shortage of donor organs, patients may wait 3-6 years for a transplant. Thus, the current standard of care does not prevent disease progression and still significantly impacts the quality of life of patients with cystinosis, who die in early adulthood.
[0070] Danon disease has many similarities to other lysosomal membrane protein diseases and has been characterized as a disorder of autophagy affecting the degradation of many cellular components, and therefore not resulting in the accumulation of a single substrate. More recently, Danon disease has been described as an autophagic vacuolar myopathy. Danon disease is caused by mutations in the gene encoding the lysosomal associated membrane protein 2 (LAMP-2) protein, which results in reduced expression of LAMP-2. Reduced LAMP-2 expression disrupts autophagic flux, impairing the ability of cells to respond to stress and remove damaged cellular components.
[0071] Thus, the present disclosure demonstrates that one-time hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (HSPC) transplantation has the potential to be a lifelong curative therapy for diseases or disorders associated with defective lysosomal transmembrane proteins. This therapy may also prevent kidney transplants and long-term complications associated with cystinosis, and unexpectedly includes the elimination of corneal cystine crystals. This should also allow patients to discontinue the use of oral cysteamine, cysteamine eye drops, and any other medical drugs used to treat symptoms associated with the disease. Thus, the quality of life of patients will be greatly improved, and the cost of therapeutic drugs will be significantly reduced.
[0072] Due to the multisystemic nature of cystinosis and all the drugs required to compensate for the lack of the protein cystinosine in all tissues, a gene therapy approach was investigated. Gene therapy has the potential to be an important new approach in the third millennium to treat both rare and common critical diseases, as its reach far exceeds that of conventional drugs and offers the promise of stem cell-based curative therapy with limited risks compared to allogeneic HSC transplantation. Hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) are therefore ideal candidates for use in regenerative medicine and cell replacement therapy due to their ease of isolation, self-renewal capacity, and safety. Furthermore, gene therapy can address unmet medical needs, such as in the case of cystinosis, particularly as this strategy overcomes the lack of matched HSC donors, making treatment potentially available to all patients.
[0073] Ctns, a rodent model of cystinosis - / - Transplantation of mice with HSCs expressing a functional Ctns gene has been shown to result in abundant incorporation of bone marrow-derived cells into tissues, a marked reduction in cystine accumulation (up to 97% elimination), and long-term kidney maintenance. - / - Mice progressed to end-stage renal failure, whereas age-matched Ctns transplanted with wild-type HSCs did not. - / -The mice maintained normal kidney function more than one year after transplantation. Large amounts of cystine crystals were consistently observed in the kidneys of untreated Ctns. - / - In contrast to mice with HSC transplantation, little to no cystine crystals were observed in the kidneys of treated mice. - / - It has also been recently demonstrated that treatment with Ctns rescues eye defects in mice. - / - Mice showed near total degradation of cystine crystals from the epithelial layer to the mid-stroma (100% to 72% reduction, respectively) as well as normal corneal thickness and intraocular pressure. The effects of transplanted HSCs on the thyroid gland were also studied. - / - Mice show sustained TSH activation combined with thyroid cell hypertrophy, hyperplasia, and vascular proliferation. In contrast, Ctns treated with transplanted HSCs - / - Mice showed normalized cystine and TSH levels and normal histology. These studies are the first proof of concept that the multiorgan degeneration associated with cystinosis can be prevented by a single HSC transplant.
[0074] Thus, the present disclosure provides a mouse model of cystinosis (Ctns - / - The present disclosure evaluates the effects of HSPC transplantation in a mouse model of cystinosis (Ctns mice). - / - Using mouse models (M2 mice), we demonstrate that transplantation of wild-type (WT) mouse mHSCs results in abundant tissue incorporation of bone marrow-derived cells, a marked reduction in tissue cystine accumulation (up to 97%), and long-term maintenance of kidney, eye, and thyroid. Given the risk of mortality and morbidity associated with allogeneic HSC transplantation, such as graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), an autologous transplantation protocol of HSCs was developed for ex vivo modification. Using pCCL-CTNS (backbone pCCL-EFS-X-WPRE), a self-inactivating lentiviral vector (SIN-LV) to introduce a functional form of CTNS cDNA, we expressed the Ctns gene. - / - Efficacy was demonstrated in mice.
[0075] Human CD34 isolated from peripheral blood of healthy donors and patients with cystinosis + In vitro studies have been completed using HSPCs and Ctns - / - Significant progress has been made in serial transplantation in mice. Thus, the data provided herein demonstrate that CD34+ cystinosis cells derived from peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs) mobilized by G-CSF from cystinosis patients and modified by ex vivo transduction with pCCL-CTNS LVs are + Demonstrate the efficacy of HSC transplantation.
[0076] Both cystinosis and Danon disease occur as a result of loss-of-function mutations in transmembrane lysosomal proteins, cystinosin and LAMP-2, respectively. In fact, cystinosin is localized in LAMP-2-positive vesicles that are transported during cross-correction. Thus, the present disclosure also shows that bone marrow was harvested from Danon disease patients and sorted for CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells (HPSCs). After harvesting, patient HPSCs are genetically modified using viral transduction vectors, including but not limited to lentiviruses and other retroviruses, carrying any normal range variant of the LAMP-2 gene, and / or any of the LAMP-2 splice isoforms (e.g., LAMP-2A, LAMP-2B, LAMP-2C) (hereinafter collectively referred to as "wild-type LAMP-2" or "WT LAMP-2") are inserted into the genome of the harvested HPSCs. After infection, the viral vector inserts the wild-type LAMP-2 transgene into a specific site in the host cell genome that limits genome disruption. This insertion allows the wild-type LAMP-2 transgene to then be stably expressed by the host cell. After translation, the wild-type LAMP-2 protein is transported to the lysosomal membrane, where it tucks away and assumes its normal intracellular location. Introducing the wild-type LAMP-2 protein into the lysosomal membrane restores autophagic flux, allowing the cell to function normally.
[0077] After the wild-type LAMP-2 gene is introduced, the HPSCs are transplanted back into the patient from whom they were taken. These cells then re-engraft in the patient's bone marrow and begin to produce progenitor cells. Some of these progenitor cells differentiate into monocytes with the wild-type LAMP-2 gene. Monocytes with the wild-type LAMP-2 gene enter the blood circulation and then into peripheral tissues where they transform into tissue-resident macrophages. These macrophages transfer their lysosomes with membrane-bound wild-type LAMP-2 protein to diseased peripheral cells through a variety of mechanisms, including but not limited to the formation of tunneling nanotubes, vesicle release, and direct cell-cell adhesion. Wild-type LAMP-2 protein may also be transferred between macrophages and diseased peripheral cells in other forms, including but not limited to as a free protein or bound to other proteins, membranes, or organelles. Delivery of wild-type LAMP-2-containing lysosomes or other forms of wild-type LAMP-2 restores normal autophagic flux in diseased cells, partially or completely ameliorating the Danon disease phenotype.
[0078] Thus, in one aspect, the present invention provides a method for treating a lysosomal transmembrane protein disease or disorder in a subject. The method includes introducing a functional human transmembrane protein corresponding to the disorder to be treated ex vivo into the HSPCs of the subject, and then transplanting the HSPCs into the subject, thereby treating the lysosomal transmembrane protein disease or disorder. Thus, for example, when the disease or disorder to be treated is cystinosis, the functional human transmembrane protein to be introduced is CTNS. In various embodiments, the vector is a self-inactivating (SIN) lentiviral vector, such as pCCL-CTNS (for CTNS). Similarly, when the disease or disorder to be treated is Danon disease, the functional human transmembrane protein to be introduced is LAMP-2. In various embodiments, the introducing step may include contacting the HSPCs with a vector that includes a polynucleotide encoding a functional protein (e.g., CTNS or LAMP-2) and a functional promoter (e.g., a ubiquitous promoter or an endogenous promoter of the functional protein), and expressing the functional protein. Thus, the present disclosure provides methods for autologous transplantation of ex vivo genetically modified HSPCs to introduce functional proteins associated with specific lysosomal transmembrane protein diseases or disorders.
[0079] In various embodiments, lysosomal transmembrane protein diseases or disorders include, but are not limited to, cystinosis, Salla disease, infantile sialic acid storage disorder, cobalaminopathy type F, neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (both late-onset childhood and juvenile forms), malignant infantile osteopetrosis, mucolipidosis IV, mucopolysaccharidosis type IIIC (Sanfilippo syndrome type C), Niemann-Pick disease type C, and Danon disease. Without being bound by theory, in cystinosis and free sialic acid storage disease, the transporters of cystine and acidic monosaccharides are disturbed or inhibited, respectively. In cobalaminopathy type F and mucopolysaccharidosis type IIIC, the postulated cobalamin transporter and the acetyl group hybrid transporter / transferase, respectively, are defective. In neurodegenerative osteopetrosis, mutations in the proton / chloride ion exchanger impair the charge balance required for sustained proton pumping by V-type ATPase, thus neutralizing bone resorption pits. However, the mechanisms that lead to lysosomal accumulation and neurodegeneration remain unclear. Mucolipidosis type IV is caused by mutations in a lysosomal cation channel named TRPML1; its gating properties are still poorly understood, and the ionic species that link this channel to lipid accumulation and membrane trafficking defects are debated. Finally, the autophagy defects in Danon disease appear to occur as a result of the role of LAMP2 in lysosome / autophagosome fusion, possibly concomitant with its role in dynein-based centripetal motility (Ruivo, et al. Biochimica et Biophysica Acta 1793 (2009) 636-649, incorporated herein by reference).
[0080] Table 1 sets forth exemplary lysosomal transmembrane protein diseases or disorders that are to be treated by ex vivo introduction of the corresponding functional human transmembrane protein.
[0081] [Table 1]
[0082] Lentivirus-derived vectors have replaced gamma-retroviral vectors for gene therapy due to their superior gene transfer efficiency and more favorable biosafety profile. In fact, all cases of leukemogenic complications observed so far in clinical trials or animal models involved the use of retroviral vectors with LTRs containing strong enhancers / promoters capable of inducing distal enhancer activation. In contrast, third-generation lentiviral vectors with deletions in the LTR, SIN-LV, contain only one internal enhancer / promoter, thus reducing the incidence of interactions with nearby cellular genes and therefore the risk of oncogenic integration. SIN-LV is also designed to prevent the possibility of developing replication-competent lentivirus (RCL) during the generation of viral supernatants with the three packaging plasmids required for their generation. Lentiviral vectors efficiently transduce HSPCs and do not alter their repopulation properties, making this type of vector an attractive vehicle for stem cell gene therapy.
[0083] Clinical trials using SIN-LV to gene correct human HSPCs are underway in the United States and Europe for several conditions, including HIV-1, β-thalassemia, immunodeficiency, metabolic diseases, and cancer. In the case of immunodeficiency disorders, HSPCs modified by SIN-LV have been transplanted in 35 patients so far. In a clinical trial in patients with adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD), stable gene correction was achieved in approximately 20% of hematopoietic cells in two patients. Cerebral demyelination was suppressed without further progression during a 3-year follow-up examination. This corresponds to a clinical outcome comparable to that observed after allogeneic transplantation; there was no evidence of clonal dominance. Recently, a clinical trial was reported for Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome in three patients 32 months after transplantation. Stable and long-term engraftment (25–50%) of gene-modified HSPCs resulted in improved platelet counts, protection from bleeding and infection, and disappearance of eczema. Another clinical success was recently reported in three presymptomatic patients with metachromatic leukodystrophy. Engraftment of blood cells derived from the transduced cells achieved 45-80% and protein activity in cerebrospinal fluid returned to above normal levels for up to 24 months, with clear therapeutic benefit.
[0084] Recent successful gene therapy using AAV vectors in MCK mice not only prevented heart failure when given to presymptomatic animals but also ameliorated cardiomyopathy when given after disease onset. Although promising, this approach has potential concerns regarding safety as well as procurement and delivery: i) local delivery by direct virus injection at the diseased site poses several challenges in accessing sites such as the heart and brain and provides only tissue-specific rescue, ii) systemic AAV delivery remains challenging in humans due to the need for high levels of vector, which raises vector synthesis and safety concerns. In contrast, HSPC gene therapy approaches have important advantages: i) a single injection of stem cells treats all complications, ii) gene correction occurs in a controlled ex vivo environment, allowing the cells to be characterized prior to transplantation, iii) gene-corrected HSPCs reside in the bone marrow niche after transplantation, where they self-renew and become a reservoir of healthy cells for the patient's lifespan, and iv) avoids immune responses compared to allogeneic transplantation. Therefore, autologous HSPC gene therapy may provide a cure for lysosomal transmembrane protein diseases or disorders.

[0086] In another aspect, a method for treating a lysosomal transmembrane protein disease or disorder in a subject includes contacting a cell from the subject that expresses a protein (see Table 1) associated with a particular disease or disorder with a vector that encodes a gene editing system that, when transfected into the cell, removes a mutation (e.g., trinucleotide repeat expansion mutation) of the endogenous protein, thereby treating the lysosomal transmembrane protein disease or disorder. In various embodiments, the gene editing system is selected from the group consisting of CRISPR / Cas, zinc finger nuclease, and transcription activator-like effector nuclease. The contacting step can be performed ex vivo by first obtaining a cell sample from the subject, transfecting the gene editing system into the cell sample, and then transplanting the transfected cell into the subject, thereby treating the lysosomal transmembrane protein disease or disorder. The cell sample can be any cell that expresses a protein associated with a lysosomal transmembrane protein disease or disorder, such as the subject's blood cells or HSPCs.
[0087] In another aspect, the present invention provides a method for treating or ameliorating a lysosomal protein disease or disorder in a subject, comprising transplanting into the subject a population of HSPCs that have been genetically modified by introducing a transgene encoding a corresponding functional human lysosomal transmembrane protein, thereby treating the lysosomal transmembrane protein disease or disorder. Thus, if the lysosomal transmembrane protein disease or disorder is cystinosis, the functional human lysosomal transmembrane gene is CTNS; if the lysosomal transmembrane protein disease or disorder is Salla disease or infantile sialic acid storage disorder, the functional human lysosomal transmembrane gene is SLC17A5; if the lysosomal transmembrane protein disease or disorder is cobalaminopathy type F, the functional human lysosomal transmembrane gene is LMBRD1; if the lysosomal transmembrane protein disease or disorder is late-onset childhood neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis, the functional human lysosomal transmembrane gene is MFSD8; if the lysosomal transmembrane protein disease or disorder is juvenile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis, the functional human lysosomal transmembrane gene is MFSD8. the gene is CLN3; if the lysosomal transmembrane protein disease or disorder is malignant infantile osteopetrosis, the functional human lysosomal transmembrane gene is CLCN7 or OSTM1; if the lysosomal transmembrane protein disease or disorder is mucolipidosis IV, the functional human lysosomal transmembrane gene is MCOLN1; if the lysosomal transmembrane protein disease or disorder is mucopolysaccharidosis type IIC, the functional human lysosomal transmembrane gene is HGSNAT; if the lysosomal transmembrane protein disease or disorder is Niemann-Pick disease type C, the functional human lysosomal transmembrane gene is NPC1; if the lysosomal transmembrane protein disease or disorder is Danon disease, the functional human lysosomal transmembrane gene is LAMP2. In various embodiments, HSPCs are isolated from a subject, for example, from the bone marrow of a subject.
[0088] Although the present invention has been demonstrated with respect to cystinosis and Danon disease, it should be understood that these methods are applicable to any of the diseases or disorders described in Table 1. Thus, this strategy turns HSPCs into intelligent and widespread carriers that provide stable and sustained cross-correction after differentiation into monocytes. Monocytes enter the blood circulation and then into peripheral tissues where they transform into tissue-resident macrophages. These macrophages transfer their lysosomes bearing the respective proteins to diseased peripheral cells through various mechanisms including but not limited to tunneling nanotube formation, vesicle release, and direct cell-cell adhesion. Thus, this study demonstrates the success of HSPC gene therapy strategy to treat lysosomal transmembrane protein diseases or disorders.
[0089] The following examples are intended to illustrate, but not limit, the invention. EXAMPLES
[0090] Example 1 Preclinical models of cystinosis for testing therapeutic approaches We tested a stem cell therapeutic approach in a mouse model of cystinosis, Ctns - / - The mouse model was engineered to produce defective cystinosin, and therefore unable to properly transport cystine out of lysosomes. This defect leads to the accumulation of cystine and the formation of cystine crystals characteristic of cystinosis. Cystine accumulation is present from birth and increases with age. The original Ctns - / - Mice were backcrossed to inbred C57BL / 6 Ctns - / - The inbred C57BL / 6 Ctns mice were generated. - / -Mice begin to develop renal insufficiency from 6 months of age, as observed biochemically (increased serum urea and creatinine) and histologically, with these mice reaching end-stage renal failure by 18 months of age. Renal Fanconi syndrome also begins around 6 months of age (polyuria, phosphaturia, and proteinuria), and proximal tubule cells appear to dedifferentiate and display the typical "swan-neck deformation" seen in mice and humans with cystinosis, resulting in glomeruli that are not connected to the tubules. Finally, Ctns - / - Massive infiltration of inflammatory cells can be observed in the kidneys of mice. - / - The mice also develop eye defects with cystine crystal deposits in the cornea and thyroid dysfunction, similar to those observed in affected patients.
[0091] Example 2 Effects of BMC, HSC, and MSC transplantation on cystinosis To identify the appropriate cell population for transplantation in the setting of cystinosis, we performed syngeneic bone marrow cell (BMC) transplantation, Sca1 + Hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) and mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) transplants in 2-month-old irradiated Ctns - / - These cells were cultured in green fluorescent protein (GFP) transgenic wild-type (WT) mice or Ctns mice as a control. - / - MSCs were isolated from either WT BMC or WT HSC-treated mice. Disease parameters were analyzed 4 months after transplantation. The beneficial effect of MSCs on disease was only short-term and limited. In contrast, tissue cystine content was significantly reduced (57%-94% reduction depending on the tissue) in all examined organs of WT BMC- and WT HSC-treated mice. Abundant GFP + Bone marrow-derived cells were present in all organs and kidney function was improved, providing the first proof of concept that HSCs could rescue cystinosis even though cystinosin is a transmembrane lysosomal protein rather than a secreted enzyme.
[0092] Example 3 Ctns - / - Long-term effects of HSC transplantation in mice It was then determined whether this treatment could be sustained for the life of the mouse and result in multi-organ maintenance.
[0093] Renal analysis: Transplantation of WT HSCs was able to achieve long-term protection of kidney function and structure, preventing the progression of kidney disease up to 15 months after transplantation (the final time point tested; Figure 1). However, effective therapy relies on achieving a relatively high level of donor-derived blood cell engraftment (>50%) in terms of Ctns-expressing cells, which is directly related to the amount of Ctns-expressing cells present in the kidney. In contrast, kidney maintenance was not dependent on the age of the mice at the time of transplantation. In fact, mice up to 10 months old were able to exhibit normal kidney function after stem cell therapy, suggesting that the kidney can be salvaged if tissue damage is not consolidated. We also demonstrated a significant reduction in cystine content in all tissues (from 54% in kidney to 96.5% in liver), demonstrating that this treatment, which is essentially a single HSC transplant, results in long-term and stable low levels of tissue cystine over the life of the mouse. Furthermore, untreated Ctns - / - Large amounts of cystine crystals were consistently observed in kidneys from mice, whereas few to no cystine crystals were observed in kidneys from treated mice.
[0094] Eye analysis: GFP + WT HSC transplantation inhibits Ctns - / - Mouse eyes were maintained long-term. Abundant GFP+ bone marrow-derived cells were detected not only in the corneas of treated mice, but also in the sclera, ciliary body, retina, choroid, and lens. In vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM) was performed in live mice to quantify cystine crystals in the cornea. Effective therapy was dependent on the level of donor-derived blood cell engraftment, as previously demonstrated for the kidney. Ctns with low levels of engraftment - / -Mice with high levels of engraftment (>50%; HIGH; n=5) showed almost total resolution of crystals from the epithelial layer to the middle stroma (100% to 72% clearance, respectively; Figure 2). At 1 year post-transplant, HSC-treated Ctns - / - The mice showed normal corneal thickness and structure as well as normal intraocular pressure. This study was the first demonstration that transplanted HSCs could rescue corneal defects. This study brings new perspectives for ocular regenerative medicine.
[0095] Thyroid analysis: The thyroid gland is also affected in cystinosis, so Ctns - / - We analyzed the function and structure of the thyroid gland in mice and in mice transplanted with HSCs. Sustained activation of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) with morphological evidence of increased thyroglobulin synthesis was shown to mediate the activation of Ctns. - / - In mice, follicular changes included thyrocyte hypertrophy, hyperplasia, colloid depletion, and vascular proliferation. In contrast, Ctns treated with HSC transplantation - / - Mice exhibited virtually normal histology and normalization of cystine and TSH levels (Figure 3).
[0096] Gastrointestinal Analysis: Biopsies of the gastrointestinal mucosa can be used to measure the engraftment of genetically modified stem cell tissues and their impact on cystine and cystine crystal levels in subjects enrolled in clinical trials of HSC gene therapy for cystinosis. Histological techniques for evaluating tissue cystine crystal levels in intestinal mucosa biopsies have been described previously. It has been shown that cystine crystal counts can be correlated with renal function and help evaluate the response to cysteamine treatment. Therefore, rectal biopsies are planned before and every 6 months after transplantation of gene-corrected HSCs into subjects suffering from cystinosis. Up to nine biopsies can be obtained at one time, and therefore it is possible to measure vector copy number (VCN), CTNS expression, cystine content, and cystine crystals in this tissue at each time point. To ascertain whether this tissue represents the efficacy of the treatment, Ctns- / - We investigated the effect of GFP+ WT HSC transplantation on the gastrointestinal tract in mice. Six months after transplantation, abundant GFP+ HSC-derived cells were observed in both intestinal and colonic tissues, with a significantly reduced cystine content in treated mice compared to these compartments in controls (Figure 4).
[0097] Skin Analysis: In vivo confocal microscopy is used on the skin as a non-invasive imaging technique to visualize and quantify tissue cystine crystals before and after HSC transplantation in subjects with cystinosis enrolled in clinical trials. Chiaverini et al. (Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology 68, e111 (2013)) showed that this technique can detect cutaneous cystine deposits in cystinosis patients. To this end, cystinosis patients were studied using a reflectance confocal imager (Caliber VIVASCOPE® 3000) adapted for skin imaging. Engraftment of abundant GFP+ bone marrow-derived cells in the skin leading to significant cystine reduction in this tissue was demonstrated, indicating that HSC transplantation Ctns - / - This was also shown in mice (HSC-treated Ctns - / - 79±0.87 in patients with RA vs. 193±78 in controls, p<0.05).
[0098] Example 4 Myeloablative conditioning regimens: Ctns - / - Efficacy and toxicity in mice Ctns was induced by busulfan (Bu) and cyclophosphamide (Cy), myeloablative drugs currently used in clinical practice for HSC transplantation. - / - Mice were exposed to test whether drug-mediated myeloablation allowed efficient engraftment of Ctns-expressing HSCs in a preclinical model, reduced tissue cystine, and determined whether any unexpected toxicities occurred due to cystinosis. - / - Mice and WT mice as controls were injected intraperitoneally (IP). Mice were analyzed 4 months after transplantation to demonstrate: i) Ctns- / - Mice showed no toxicity to Bu or Cy compared to WT controls; ii) renal function was similar to age-matched untreated WT controls; iii) myeloablation was successful in both cases, with donor cell engraftment measured in peripheral blood reaching 94.2 ± 1.6% with Bu / Cy and 94.0 ± 0.8% with Bu alone; iv) treated Ctns - / - In mice, cystine was significantly reduced in all tissues examined compared with untreated controls. Thus, Bu and Cy were not toxic in a mouse model of cystinosis and Ctns - / - Drug-mediated myeloablation and HSC transplantation in mice significantly reduced cystine in all tissues.
[0099] Myeloablative dosing can be done using busulfan alone without cyclophosphamide. Cyclophosphamide does not eliminate hematopoietic stem cells (i.e., does not create engraftment space) and is immunosuppressive and antileukemic. Because HSC transplants are autologous and not leukemia-directed, cyclophosphamide is not required, which adds unnecessary toxicity to the conditioning regimen. Furthermore, severe nephrotoxicity is uncommon as a direct result of commonly used conditioning regimen agents such as busulfan. It is of note that Dr. Donald Kohn's sickle cell trial (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02247843) uses busulfan alone, and bluebird bio, Inc.'s sickle cell and thalassemia trial (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02151526) also uses busulfan without cyclophosphamide.
[0100] Example 5 Mechanism of therapeutic action The degree of efficacy of HSCs to rescue cystinosis was surprising, especially considering that the ability of HSC transplantation to rescue non-hematopoietic tissues remains controversial, and that cystinosin is a transmembrane lysosomal protein. To elucidate the mechanism of HSC-mediated tissue repair, we transformed Ctns to ubiquitously express the DsRed reporter gene. - / - A novel mouse model was developed in which mice were backcrossed onto a DsRed background (Harrison et al., Mol Ther 21, 433 (2013)). When GFP-expressing HSCs derived from GFP transgenic mice were transplanted, this resulted in a bifluorescent mouse model that not only allowed the fate of transplanted HSCs to be tracked in an in vivo environment, but also allowed events such as fusion, differentiation, and transdifferentiation to be identified with high sensitivity and clearly discriminated.
[0101] Using this model, it was first shown that HSCs differentiate into macrophages in tissues (Naphade et al., Stem Cells 33, 301 (2015)). We then used WT GFP macrophages and DsRed-Ctns - / - In vitro co-culture experiments were performed with fibroblasts. WT macrophages were co-cultured with Ctns - / - When co-cultured with fibroblasts, cystine levels were reduced by about 75% in FACS-sorted fibroblasts (Figure 5A). In contrast, when the two populations were physically separated using a transwell permeable to microvesicles, cystine levels were reduced by only about 20% (Figure 5B). These findings indicate that cross-modification occurs even though cystinosin is a lysosomal transmembrane protein, and that direct cell-cell contact is the major pathway for cross-modification. Using confocal microscopy (Figure 5C), we observed that macrophages extend long membrane protrusions (~40 μm) called tunneling nanotubes (TNTs) that establish contact with fibroblasts. To determine whether TNTs could mediate the physical transfer of vesicles carrying cystinosin, we used DsRed-Ctns - / -Fibroblasts were co-cultured with macrophages stably transduced with a lentiviral vector expressing a cystinosin-GFP fusion protein (CTNS-GFP-macrophages). Confocal microscopy of live cells revealed that vesicles containing cystinosin-GFP were transported along TNTs by the DsRed-Ctns protein. - / - It was revealed that the vesicles could move toward the fibroblasts (Figure 5D). LysoTracker staining identified these vesicles as lysosomes (Naphade et al., Stem Cells 33, 301 (2015)).
[0102] Little is known about TNT in vivo. - / - To explain long-term kidney maintenance in mice, we investigated whether intercellular vesicular exchange using nanotubules could be detected in vivo. Our initial focus was on the kidney, not only because cystinosis occurs early in proximal tubule cells (PTCs), but also because of their physical isolation by the dense tubular basal layer (TBL). In two-color transplanted mice, GFP+ bone marrow-derived cells were observed around but never inside proximal tubules, and numerous tubular extensions emanated from HSC-derived macrophages and passed through the TBL (Figure 6A-a1-6A-a3). GFP-containing structures were observed inside PTCs, suggesting a physical transfer of cytoplasm from macrophages into the epithelium (Figure 6A-a3). To test this hypothesis, we used DsRed-Ctns stably expressing a cystinosine-GFP fusion protein. - / - HSPCs (Figure 4C) or DsRed-Ctns - / - Ctns in HSPCs (Figure 4B) - / - We then transplanted the cystinosin-GFP vesicles into mice. Many cystinosin-GFP vesicles were observed in the PTCs (Figure 4C) (Naphade et al., Stem Cells 33, 301 (2015)). This is the first evidence for the direct transfer of a protein from interstitial macrophages to epithelial cells via TNTs through the TBL to correct the genetic defect that leads to PTC degeneration. Similar data have been reported for the direct transfer of a protein from Ctns to epithelial cells via TNTs through the TBL to correct the genetic defect that leads to PTC degeneration. - / -Insights have been gained into the mechanisms of HSC-mediated therapeutic action for eye defects in mice (Rocca et al., Investigative ophthalmology & visual science 56, 7214 (2015)) and thyroid rescue (Chevronnay et al., Endocrinology In press, (2016)). These findings on HSC-mediated tissue repair should be applicable to other multicompartmental disorders with defective organelles, thus providing new perspectives for regenerative medicine.
[0103] Example 6 Clinical research on hematopoietic stem cell transplantation The aforementioned study represents the first proof of concept for the use of HSC transplantation as a therapy for cystinosis. To minimize the risk of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), subjects are required to have a sibling bone marrow donor who is HLA-matched for all alleles. The study was designed to include six subjects who were either adults aged 18 years or older with significant signs of disease progression or adolescents aged 13-17 years who could not tolerate cysteamine. However, given the rarity of the disease and the strict donor conditions, no candidate so far was a perfect match for their sibling. Moreover, the risk-benefit ratio of allogeneic HSC transplantation may not be ideal for younger patients, where the introduction of the regular use of the drug cysteamine has allowed patients to live into adulthood, albeit with considerable medical problems (Cherqui, Kidney Int 81, 127 (2012)). Indeed, the risk of morbidity and mortality associated with allogeneic transplantation is significant. The major complication is GVHD; recent studies have shown that acute GVHD grade II-IV occurs in 20%-32% of patients and chronic GVHD occurs in 16%-59%, both of which have a significant impact on recipient survival (Cutler et al., Blood 109, 3108 (2007); Geyer et al., Br J Haematol 155, 218 (2011); and Schleuning et al., Bone Marrow Transplant 43, 717 (2009)). Therefore, a preferred candidate therapy would utilize the patient's own stem cells for autologous HSC transplantation, thereby mitigating the risk of graft rejection and GVHD.
[0104] Example 7 Viral Vector Selection Considering the risks associated with allogeneic HSC transplantation and reviewing the preclinical data on HSC gene therapy, transplantation of autologous HSCs engineered to express functional cystinosin represents a safer approach.
[0105] For gene therapy, lentivirus-derived vectors have replaced gamma-retroviral vectors due to their superior gene transfer efficiency and improved biosafety profile (Case et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 96, 2988 (1999); Miyoshi, et al. Science 283, 682 (1999); Naldini et al., Science 272, 263 (1996); and Varma et al., Nature 389, 239 (1997)). Specifically: 1. All cases of leukemogenic complications observed to date in gene therapy clinical trials or animal models have involved the use of gamma-retroviral vectors, such as Moloney Leukemia Virus (MLV) retroviruses, which have long terminal repeats (LTRs) containing strong enhancer / promoters capable of inducing distal enhancer activation (Hacein-Bey-Abina et al., J Clin Invest 118, 3132 (2008); Li et al., Science 296, 497 (2002)). 2. In contrast, self-inactivating (SIN) lentiviral vectors (LV), third generation lentiviral vectors with deletions in the LTR, contain only one internal enhancer / promoter, reducing the incidence of interactions with nearby cellular genes and therefore the risk of oncogenic integration (Modlich et al., Blood 108, 2545 (2006); Montini et al., J Clin Invest 119, 964 (2009)). Moreover, in contrast to MLV, lentiviruses have not been associated with oncogenesis. Importantly, leukemia has not been recognized as a side effect in HIV patients, even though it is known that memory T cells can harbor integrated viruses for many years. 3. SIN-LTR is also designed to prevent the possibility of developing replication-competent lentivirus (RCL) during the production of viral supernatant. In fact, a transient transfection system containing three packaging plasmids is usually used for vector production - gag, pol, and rev (Dull et al., J Virol 72, 8463 (1998)). A fourth plasmid containing genes encoding the envelope and vesicular stomatitis virus glycoprotein (VSV-G) is frequently used as the envelope selection. So far, no RCL has been reported for this commonly used virus production system in patients after infusion of vector-transduced cell products (Sastry et al., Mol Ther 8, 830 (2003)). 4. LV efficiently transduces HSCs and does not alter their repopulation properties (Montini et al., J Clin Invest 119, 964 (2009); Gonzalez-Murillo et al., Blood 112, 3138 (2008)). 5. Clinical trials using SIN-LV to transduce human HSCs are underway in the United States and Europe for several conditions, including HIV-1, β-thalassemia, immunodeficiency, and cancer (DiGiusto et al., Viruses 5, 2898 (2013); Drakopoulou et al., Current molecular medicine 13, 1314 (2013); Porter et al., N Engl J Med 365, 725 (2011); and Zhang et al., Gene Ther 20, 963 (2013)). In the case of immunodeficiency disorders, SIN-LV modified HSCs have been transplanted into 35 patients to date (Bigger et al., Discovery medicine 17, 207 (2014)). A clinical trial of ex vivo HSC correction with SIN-LV in patients with X-adrenoleukodystrophy showed that cerebral demyelination was suppressed without further progression during a 3-year follow-up in two enrolled patients; and there was no evidence of clonal dominance (Cartier et al., Methods Enzymol 507, 187 (2012); Cartier et al., Science 326, 818 (2009)). Recently, a clinical trial was reported with Wiskott-Aldrich in three patients 32 months after transplantation. Stable and long-term engraftment (25-50%) of genetically modified HSC resulted in improved platelet counts, protection from bleeding and infection, and disappearance of eczema (Aiuti et al., Science 341, 1233151 (2013)). Another clinical success was recently reported in three presymptomatic patients with metachromatic leukodystrophy. Transduced cells achieved 45-80% engraftment of donor blood cells and protein activity in cerebrospinal fluid was returned to above normal levels for up to 24 months, with clear therapeutic benefit (Biffi et al., Science 341, 1233158 (2013)).
[0106] The pCCL-CTNS lentiviral vector, a third generation SIN-lentiviral vector into which the human CTNS cDNA was subcloned (FIG. 7), was prepared for use. The vector backbone pCCL-EFS-X-WPRE described by Zufferey et al. (J Virol 72, 9873 (1998)) was provided by Dr. Donald Kohn (UCLA). A central polypurine tract (cPPT) fragment was added to the CCL vector backbone to increase the nuclear import of viral DNA (Demaison et al., Hum Gene Ther 13, 803 (2002)). The Woodchuck Hepatitis Virus post-translational regulatory element (WPRE) is present to enhance titer and gene expression. However, its open reading frame was removed (Zanta-Boussif et al., Gene Ther 16, 605 (2009)) due to its overlap with the woodchuck hepatitis virus X protein, a transcriptional activator involved in the development of liver tumors (Kingsman et al., Gene Ther 12, 3 (2005)). Transgene expression is driven by the ubiquitously expressed intronless short human elongation factor 1α promoter (EFS, 242 bp) (Wakabayashi-Ito, S. Nagata, J Biol Chem 269, 29831 (1994)). The EFS promoter, lacking the introns and enhancers of the large elements used in many expression plasmids, was shown to direct high levels of transcription of reporter genes in mouse HSCs and to have significantly reduced transactivation potential compared to gamma-retroviral LTRs (Zychlinski et al., Mol Ther, (2008)).
[0107] Vectors with this backbone will be used in clinical trials led by Dr. Kohn: i) autologous transplantation of bone marrow CD34+ stem / progenitor cells after addition of normal human ADA cDNA with EFS-ADA lentiviral vector for adenosine deaminase (ADA)-deficient severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) (BB IND 15440; NCT01852071); ii) autologous bone marrow stem cells (CD34+) transduced with a self-inactivating (SIN) lentiviral vector expressing human β-globin (LENTI / βAS3-FB) and cultured with cytokines after busulfan treatment (BB IND 16028; NCT02247843).
[0108] Example 8 Preclinical studies on transplantation of HSCs transduced with pCCL-CTN Ctns - / - Sca1 isolated from mouse + HSCs were transduced ex vivo with pCCL-CTNS using our optimized protocol for mHSCs, and 1- to 4-month-old Ctns were cultured. - / - The cystine content in the brain, eye, heart, kidney, liver, muscle, and spleen was analyzed 4 months (group 1; n = 8) and 8 months (group 2; n = 12) after transplantation. - / - Mice (n = 7 and n = 12) were used, or Ctns transplanted with WT HSCs. - / - Mice (n=4 and n=4) were used. The reduction in cystine content was consistent with the expression of Ctns in all tissues examined in mice treated with pCCL-CTNS-transduced HSCs. - / - The difference was statistically significant compared to the control (Figure 8A). - / - The effect of HSCs on tissue cystine levels was also tested to exclude the possibility that the presence of any transgene could result in cystine depletion. - / - In mice transplanted with HSCs, untreated Ctns - / -No reduction was observed in any tissue compared to mice (Harrison et al., Mol Ther 21, 433 (2013)).
[0109] Renal glomerular and tubular function was assessed by measuring serum creatinine, urea, and phosphate levels, as well as creatinine clearance in 24-hour urine, in males 8 months after transplantation and compared with age-matched WT males (n=6). - / - All parameters were elevated and creatinine clearance was decreased in pCCL-CTNS-treated Ctns mice compared to WT mice. - / - In mice, serum creatinine, urinary phosphate, and urine volume were significantly decreased compared to controls, indicating that Ctns - / - The beneficial effects of genetically modified HSCs on kidney function in mice were demonstrated. - / - Mice demonstrated significantly fewer cystine crystals present in kidney sections compared to controls (Figures 8B and 8C). - / - It should be noted that in mice, we have shown that cystine content in female kidneys is increased five-fold compared to male kidneys, therefore kidney studies must be performed separately for males and females (Harrison et al., Mol Ther 21, 433 (2013)).
[0110] pCCL-CTNS transplanted Ctns - / -Quantitative PCR (qPCR) was performed using lentivirus-specific primers on genomic DNA isolated from blood collected from mice to measure vector copy number (VCN) per cell. The average VCN was 1.573 ± 1.868, falling within the target range of VCN 1-3. To determine whether lentivirus levels in tissues could be predicted, linear regression analysis was performed between pCCL levels in various tissues as a function of blood VCN levels. A direct correlation was demonstrated between the levels of lentivirus present in blood and those present in tissues (Harrison et al., Mol Ther 21, 433 (2013)). This is useful for tracking future subjects enrolled in clinical trials.
[0111] Example 9 Preclinical Pharmacology and Toxicology Pharmacology / toxicology studies on HSCs genetically modified ex vivo with pCCL-CTNS will be performed using one batch of pCCL-CTNS lentiviral vector preparation obtained from the Indiana University Vector Production Facility (IUVPF) manufactured under Good Manufacturing Practice (GMPc) under the direction of Dr. Kenneth Cornetta. The VCN target range proposed to the FDA for safety is between 1 and 3.
[0112] In vitro immortalization (IVIM) assays, genotoxicity tests, were performed by the Translational Trials Development and Support Laboratory at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. The assays consist of a 2-week bulk culture expansion of transduced mouse Lin- BMCs, followed by culture in 96-well plates at a density of 100 cells / well or 10 cells / well for up to 7 weeks (Arumugam et al., Mol Ther 17, 1929 (2009); Modlich et al., Mol Ther 17, 1919 (2009)). Positive wells are counted and the frequency of cell reseeding is calculated and compared to negative (mock transduced) and positive (MLV vector) controls. IVIM assays were performed in triplicate with GMPc pCCL-CTNS preparations with a VCN range between 1 and 3. No immortalized clones were generated using this construct, thus demonstrating a good safety profile.
[0113] Currently, in vivo pharmacology / toxicology studies are being conducted on Ctns with serial transplants. - / - Sca1 in mice + Similar cell therapy products based on mHSCs have been used. 15-20 Ctns were used as primary recipients. - / - Mice (10 males and 10 females) were transduced with pCCL-CTNS. - / - 20 mice were transplanted with mHSCs (VCNs 1–3) and mock-transduced Ctns. - / - The bone marrow cells from each of these mice were then transplanted into secondary Ctns. - / - The primary and secondary mice will be fully analyzed at 6 months post-transplantation with comprehensive molecular, clinical, and histological analysis. To date, we have 32 primary recipients that have reached the 6 month time point: Ctns transduced with pCCL-CTNS- / - 11 Ctns transplanted with mHSCs - / - Mice (VCN included in 1-3) and 21 mock-treated mice, as well as 18 secondary mice. No adverse events have been observed so far, and the data indicate the efficacy of the product, with mice treated with pCCL-CTNS-HSCs weighing more and with cystine content in the tissues examined being significantly less than mock-treated controls (Figures 9A-9B). Therefore, we performed a randomized controlled study of up to 9 additional Ctns treated with pCCL-CTNS-transduced HSCs. - / - The 6 month time point must be reached for the primary recipients and for 15 secondary recipients.
[0114] Example 10 Manufacturing: Process Development GMPc pCCL-CTNS preparation was used to identify human CD34 +A protocol was optimized to transduce HSCs to obtain a VCN comprised between 1 and 3. The protocol involved one-hit vector transduction for 20 h at an MOI of 20. Colony forming unit (CFU) assays were then performed with human CD34+ peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs) isolated from five healthy donors and four cystinosis patients, neither of which showed any abnormal proliferation or differentiation capacity in the case of pCCL-CTNS LVs compared to mock-transduced controls. Furthermore, vector integration site (VIS) analysis in the patient cells did not show enrichment of integration sites near the 5' end of the proto-oncogene. However, this protocol resulted in a mean VCN of 2 in healthy CD34+ cells, whereas the mean VCN in the cystinosis patients was 0.96. Therefore, the protocol was further optimized using cystinosis patient cells to achieve higher levels of transduction, and we demonstrated that the higher the level of CTNS expressing cells, the better the therapeutic response (Yeagy et al., Kidney Int 79, 1198 (2011); Rocca et al., Investigative ophthalmology & visual science 56, 7214 (2015); Harrison et al., Mol Ther 21, 433 (2013)). This protocol involved two-hit vector transduction for a total of 24 hours at MOI 20, respectively, resulting in an average VCN of 1.9 for patient cells. The CFU assay and VIS should then be repeated using this new protocol.
[0115] For clinical trials, the transduction protocol will be performed according to standard operating procedures in a GMP facility, using the optimal protocol for CD34+ cells from cystinosis patients. It should be noted that before enrolling the first patient, optimal conditions for large-scale transduction using GMP-grade pCCL-CTNS vector preparations and the optimal protocol will be verified in proficiency testing with human CD34+ cells from healthy donors in a small-scale and GMP facility. The clinical trial will include six patients affected by cystinosis, four adults and two adolescents. This is believed to be the first human clinical trial of an autologous stem cell and gene therapy treatment strategy for cystinosis. If successful, this treatment could be a lifelong therapy that could eliminate or reduce kidney deterioration and the need for kidney transplants, as well as the long-term complications associated with cystinosis. Furthermore, the CD34 cells modified by pCCL-CTNS have been shown to be highly effective in treating cystinosis. + The mechanisms by which HSC transplantation provides beneficial and protective effects may be applicable to other inherited multi-organ degenerative disorders.
[0116] Example 11 HSPC transplantation for Danon disease The goal of this experiment is to determine whether Danon disease can be rescued by HSPC transplantation and whether lysosomal cross-correction occurs. Using the mouse model described herein, it is demonstrated that the hearts of LAMP2 KO mice exhibit an increased number of abnormal mitochondria and impaired mitophagy and mitochondrial respiration, consistent with previous studies in induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived cardiomyocytes obtained from Danon disease patients (Cherqui, Kidney Int 81, 127 (2012)), confirming the similarity of the mouse model to the human disease.
[0117] To assess the ability of WT HSPCs to rescue Danon disease, lethally irradiated 2-month-old LAMP2 KO mice were transplanted with Sca1 HSPCs isolated from congenic C57BL / 6 WT (Tg(ACTB-EGFP)1Osb / J obtained from the Jackson Laboratory), which ubiquitously express cytoplasmic eGFP, using transplantation protocols previously described (Yeagy et al., Kidney Int 79, 1198 (2011); Naphade et al., Stem Cells 33, 301 (2015); Case et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 96, 2988 (1999)). + As a negative control, LAMP2 KO mice were transplanted with HSPCs (WT-HSPCs). + We also transplanted HSPCs (KO-HSPCs). Skeletal muscle strength was examined using previously described techniques and demonstrated that grip strength was significantly reduced in LAMP2 KO mice compared to both WT mice and LAMP2 mice fed WT HSPCs (Figure 11). As assessed by Western blot analysis, LAMP2 protein expression was restored to near WT levels in the heart and skeletal muscle of LAMP2 KO mice transplanted with WT HSPCs (Figures 10D-10E).
[0118] To demonstrate that LAMP2 was expressed not only in donor macrophages present in the hearts of recipient LAMP2 KO mice, but also in their cardiomyocytes, we performed immunofluorescence studies, which revealed that LAMP2 was expressed in cardiomyocytes (α-actinin: white) located in the vicinity of donor macrophages. +Small vacuoles were demonstrated (Figures 10A-10C). EM analysis showed that vacuoles in LAMP2 KO mice fed with WT HSPCs were reduced compared to LAMP2 KO mice (Figures 11A and 11B), appearing similar to that in WT mice. Improved autophagic flux after WT HSPC transplantation into LAMP2 KO mice was confirmed by assessing LC3-II / GAPDH levels (Figures 11C-11D). In summary, these studies demonstrate that physiological and metabolic functions are restored in LAMP2 KO mice treated with WT HSPC transplantation.
