In this study, we designed AAV9-based capsid engineering by performing library screening of peptide insertions and substitutions (in variable regions IV and VIII) in mice and cynomolgus monkeys using viral mRNA driven by a synthetic promoter recovered from specific tissues. 【0424】 AAV Library Design 【0425】 The peptide display random libraries (Lib#1~4) were designed by inserting seven amino acids (7mer) or nine-mer after Q588 (VP1 position in AAV9) in the variable region (VR) VIII, or after G453 in VR IV of AAV9 (Figure 1A~1D). Inserted DNA libraries #1~4 were generated by PCR using the following primers. 【0426】 [Table 2] 【0427】 AAV Library Screening Workflow 【0428】 A DNA fragment library was generated using an AAV9 library backbone DNA template for PCR. The purified PCR product was incorporated into a library backbone containing the synthetic promoter p41, AAV9 (Cap9)VP1, bovine growth hormone (bGH) poly A, and terminal inversion repeats (ITRs). The p41 promoter was used to drive capsid gene expression only in the presence of the Ad5 helper gene product to produce the AAV library. The synthetic promoter was intended to recover Cap9 mRNA expressed in specific tissues. The incorporated library plasmid DNA was transformed into competent cells for amplification. The amplified cap9 library plasmid was used to produce the AAV library by co-transfecting HEK293 cells with pHelper and pRep2-AAP (SEQ ID NO.1). Purified AAV virus libraries (Lib#1, Lib#2, Lib#3) were intravenously injected into 8-week-old mice at a dose of 4e12vg / mouse (C57BL / 6J, DBA / 2J-mdx, BALB / cJ). Twenty days after injection, muscle tissue (triceps, quadriceps, gastrocnemius, abdominal muscles, tibialis anterior, diaphragm, myocardium) and liver were collected for total RNA isolation. Viral mRNA was converted to cDNA using Cap9-specific reverse transcription primers and used for specific PCR amplification and the generation of a second library. 【0429】 To screen in non-human primates (NHPs), viral libraries (Lib#2, Lib#4) were intravenously injected into cynomolgus monkeys, and tissue samples were collected 21 days post-injection. Total RNA was isolated and treated with DNase I. Cap9-specific mRNA was reverse transcribed and amplified by PCR (RT-PCR) for next-generation sequencing (NGS). Enriched candidates were selected by customized enrichment score analysis. A total of 810 candidates, including variants predicted by artificial intelligence modeling, were synthesized for a second screening. Simultaneously, 27 top variants were packaged individually for in vitro and in vivo characterization. These top variants were selected by NSG enrichment score. All variants were enriched in muscle, except for AVT905, which was enriched in liver. The nucleotide sequence encoding the peptide insertion of one mutant AVT905 was codon-optimized, and the corresponding mutant was named and characterized as AVT908 (see Table 3 below; lowercase letters in the nucleotide sequence of AVT908 indicate codon optimization). Since AVT908 and AVT905 have the same amino acid sequence, AVT908 is also expected to be enriched in the liver. 【0430】 Figure 2 shows a schematic diagram of the screening workflow. Table 3 shows the top mutant candidates selected for validation. 【0431】 [Table 3-1] [Table 3-2] 【0432】 Example 2: Characterization of the expression of AAV9-derived capsid-mediated transgenes in C57BL / 6J mice. 【0433】 Five variants (AVT901, AVT903, AVT905, AVT906, AVT907) and two controls (AAV9 and MyoAAV 1A(1A)) were individually packaged as green fluorescent protein (GFP) transgenes driven by the chicken β-actin (CB) promoter. All seven AAVs were produced in HEK293 cells by EIpro(Polyplus) triple plasmid transfection. Three days after transfection, cells were harvested, lysed, treated with benzonase (Sigma, E1014-25KU), and purified by iodixanol gradient ultracentrifugation. After buffer exchange with 0.001% F68-containing PBS, the AAVs were filtered through a 0.22 μm filter. Titer was measured by ddPCR using ITR primers and probes. AAV purity was evaluated by SDS-PAGE. 【0434】 These seven types of AAVs were intravenously injected into 8-week-old C57BL / 6J mice (1e12vg / mouse). Two weeks after injection (2wpi), tissue samples were collected and used for ex vivo imaging to detect innate GFP expression (Figure 3). AVT907, AVT905, and AVT903 showed significantly stronger GFP intensity than AAV9 in skeletal muscle. Specifically, in the triceps and gastrocnemius muscles, the order was AVT907 > AVT905 > AVT903 > AAV9, in the quadriceps muscle, AVT907 ≈ MyoAAV 1A > AVT905 > AVT901 > AVT903 > AAV9 ≈ AVT906, and in the tibialis anterior muscle, AVT907 > AVT905 ≈ AVT903 > AAV9. AVT907 and AVT905 showed stronger GFP intensity than AAV9 in the heart. AVT905 showed the strongest GFP signal in the liver, followed by AAV9. AVT903 showed weaker GFP in the liver than AAV9. No visible signal was captured in the liver for AVT907. No visible signal was captured in the lungs, spleen, or kidneys for any of the variants in the tests or for AAV9. 【0435】 Then, total RNA was isolated from the tissue using Trizol and treated with DNase I. After reverse transcription (RT), transgene mRNA was quantified by real-time qPCR. GFP and mouse GAPDH primers / probes were used for RT-qPCR (Figure 4). For comparison, the normalization level of AAV9-mediated GFP expression was set to 1.0 (Figure 4). Compared to the levels of AAV9-mediated transgenes, the levels of AVT907-mediated transgenes were 17-37 times higher in skeletal muscle and 10 times higher in the heart; the levels of AVT905-mediated transgenes were 3-12 times higher in skeletal muscle, 2 times higher in the heart, 3 times higher in the liver, 3 times higher in the spleen, and 5 times higher in the lungs; and the levels of AVT901-mediated transgenes were 4-6 times higher in skeletal muscle. 【0436】 Furthermore, using the DNasy Blood & Tissue Kit (Qiagen), genomic DNA from the triceps, quadriceps, gastrocnemius, tibialis anterior, heart, spleen, kidney, and liver was isolated two weeks (2wpi) after injection. The AAV vector genome copies in these tissues were measured by droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) with GFP and mouse TFRC primers / probes (Figure 5). The level of the AAV9 vector genome was set to 1.0 (Figure 5). Compared to the AAV9 vector genome copy, the AVT907 vector genome copy was 2-7 times higher in skeletal muscle and 10 times higher in the heart; the AVT905 vector genome copy was 3-11 times higher in skeletal muscle, 5 times higher in the heart, 4 times higher in the liver, 3 times higher in the kidney, and 12 times higher in the lung; and the AVT901 vector genome copy was 3 times higher in the triceps and quadriceps. 【0437】 Example 3: In vitro expression of a novel AAV9 mutant-mediated transgene. 【0438】 Sixteen mutants (AVT901, AVT902, AVT905, AVT907, AVT908, AVT909, AVT910, AVT911, AVT913, AVT914, AVT915, AVT916, AVT917, AVT918, AVT919, AVT920) and four controls (AAV9 MyoAAV 1A, MyoAAV 2A, MyoAAV 4A) were individually packaged as transgenes expressing 2A-linked GFP and firefly luciferase (Fluc), driven by a chicken β-actin (CB) promoter. Production and titer analysis were performed in this manner. AVT905 and AVT908 have the same amino acid sequence but use different codons. C2C12 myoblasts and HepG2 cells were seeded in 96-well plates and incubated with a specified AAV vector containing the CB-Fluc-2A-GFP transgene (1 e6 vg / cell). 【0439】 Native GFP imaging was performed under the same conditions 24 hours after transduction (Figures 6A and 6B). AVT905 and AVT908 showed nearly 100% GFP positivity in both C2C12 and HepG2 cells. In C2C12 cells, no GFP signals were observed for AAV9, 1A, AVT901, AVT902, AVT909, AVT910, and AVT911. In HepG2 cells, no GFP signals were observed for AAV9, 1A, 4A, AVT902, AVT907, AVT909, AVT910, AVT913, AVT918, and AVT920. 48 hours after transduction, cells were lysed and Fluc expression was quantified using a luciferase assay system (Promega) (Figures 7A and 7B). AVT905 and AVT908 showed significantly stronger luminescence signals than the other mutants. MyoAAV 1A, MyoAAV 2A, MyoAAV in C2C12 myoblasts The expression of 4A, AVT901, AVT902, AVT905, AVT907, AVT908, AVT909, AVT910, AVT911, AVT913, AVT914, AVT915, AVT916, AVT917, AVT918, AVT919, and AVT920-mediated luciferase was 0.7 times, 4.2 times, 7.8 times, 1.9 times, 2.3 times, 21.9 times, 6.1 times, 18.5 times, 2.3 times, 2.4 times, 1.9 times, 4.4 times, 3.7 times, 12 times, 9.7 times, 3.2 times, 2.1 times, 6.1 times, and 1.5 times, respectively, compared to the expression of AAV9-mediated luciferase in C2C12 myoblasts. MyoAAV 1A, MyoAAV 2A, MyoAAV in HepG2 cells The expression of 4A, AVT901, AVT902, AVT905, AVT907, AVT908, AVT909, AVT910, AVT911, AVT913, AVT914, AVT915, AVT916, AVT917, AVT918, AVT919, and AVT920-mediated luciferase was 0.4 times, 1.7 times, 1.4 times, 1.2 times, 0.8 times, 5.0 times, 0.7 times, 4.8 times, 1.0 times, 1.5 times, 1.9 times, 0.7 times, 1.0 times, 1.2 times, 1.5 times, 1.2 times, 0.7 times, 0.1 times, and 0.6 times, respectively, compared to the expression of AAV9-mediated luciferase in HepG2 cells. 【0440】 Example 4: Expression of a novel AAV9 mutant-mediated transgene in Balb / c mice. 【0441】 Sixteen mutants (AVT901, AVT902, AVT907, AVT908, AVT909, AVT910, AVT911, AVT912, AVT913, AVT914, AVT915, AVT916, AVT917, AVT918, AVT919, AVT920) and four controls (AAV9 MyoAAV 1A, MyoAAV 2A, MyoAAV 4A) were individually packaged as transgenes expressing 2A-linked GFP and firefly luciferase (Fluc), driven by the chicken β-actin (CB) promoter. 【0442】 Twenty different AAVs were intravenously (tail vein) injected into 8-week-old Balb / c mice (4e11vg / mouse). Three weeks after injection (3wpi), luciferin was injected intraperitoneally into the mice. After 10 minutes, the mice were sent to an in vivo imaging system (IVIS) to capture the expression of firefly luciferase (Figure 8). Compared to AAV9-mediated luminescence signals in skeletal muscle, AVT911 and AVT912 showed similar levels, AVT902, AVT909, and AVT910 showed stronger luminescence signals, and AVT901, AVT908, AVT914, AVT915, AVT916, AVT917, and AVT918 showed significantly stronger luminescence signals in skeletal muscle. Furthermore, AVT907, AVT913, AVT919, and AVT920 showed stronger luminescence signals in skeletal muscle compared to the disclosed MyoAAV2A (a reference muscle-directed AAV capsid). AAV908 also showed a significantly stronger luminescence signal in the liver than AAV9. Three weeks after injection (3 wpi), tissue samples (triceps, quadriceps, gastrocnemius, tibialis anterior, heart, and liver) were collected for the isolation of total RNA and genomic DNA. mRNA levels of AAV-mediated transgenes were quantified and analyzed by RT-qPCR (Figures 9A-9I). Mouse GAPDH (VIC® marker) was used as the reference. Compared to AAV9 wild-type, the expression levels of AVT919-mediated transgenes in the triceps, quadriceps, tibialis anterior, gastrocnemius, and heart were 72-fold, 45-fold, 113-fold, 85-fold, and 15-fold, respectively (Figures 9B-9H). The expression levels of AVT913-mediated transgenes in the triceps, quadriceps, tibialis anterior, gastrocnemius, and heart were 62-fold, 33-fold, 75-fold, 84-fold, and 27-fold, respectively (Figures 9B-9H). The expression levels of AVT908-mediated transgenes in the triceps, quadriceps, tibialis anterior, gastrocnemius, and heart were 15-fold, 19-fold, 18-fold, 40-fold, and 2-fold, respectively (Figures 9B-9H). AVT908, AVT913, and AVT919 showed AAV9-mediated transgene expression levels of 270%, 30%, and 60% in the liver, respectively (Figures 9B, 9C, and 9I). AAV vector genome copies were analyzed by ddPCR (Figure 10). Mouse TFRC (VIC® marker) was used as the reference.Primers / probes (FAM markers) for fluc were used on the AAV genome. The novel capsids AVT908, AVT913, and AVT919 showed improvement at the genomic DNA level in the triceps, quadriceps, tibialis anterior, gastrocnemius, and cardiac muscle compared to AAV9, with AVT908 showing improvement in the liver at the genomic DNA level (Figure 10). Specifically, in the tibialis anterior muscle, the genomic DNA levels of AVT908, AVT913, and AVT919 were 6.8 times, 7.6 times, and 22.1 times, respectively, compared to the genomic DNA level of AAV9 (Figure 10). In the heart, the genomic DNA levels of AVT913 and AVT919 were greater than 10 times that of AAV9 (Figure 10). 【0443】 In repeated studies using mice, two mutants (AVT913 and AVT919) containing the same expression cassette (GFP and firefly luciferase linked by a 2A sequence, driven by the chicken β-actin promoter) and two control capsids (AAV9 and MyoAAV 2A) were intravenously (tail vein) injected into 8-week-old male Balb / c mice. Three weeks after injection, muscle tissue was collected and used for natural GFP imaging. In AAV9-treated mouse tissue, no visible imaging signal was observed, or the imaging signal was very weak (Figure 11). The mutant AVT917 showed the strongest GFP intensity in muscle tissue. Specifically, in the gastrocnemius and quadriceps muscles, AVT919 > AVT913 > MyoAAV 2A > AAV9, and in the heart, AVT919 > AVT913 ≈ MyoAAV 2A > AAV9 (Figure 11). 【0444】 Example 5: Validation of pooled novel capsids in NHP. 【0445】 The coding sequences of 19 novel capsids and 5 publicly available controls (Myo1A, Myo2A, Myo3A, Myo4A, and AAV9) were individually cloned into a library backbone containing the p41 promoter, AAV2 ITR, synthetic promoter, and bGH polyA. Twenty-four capsids were individually produced in HEK293 cells by co-transfection with Rep2-AAP and Ad5 helper plasmids. Purification was performed by iodixanol gradient ultracentrifugation, filtered to 0.22 μm, and titer was measured by ddPCR using ITR primers / probes. Purity was analyzed by SDS-PAGE. 【0446】 Adult female cynomolgus monkeys (4 years old, ~3 kg) were intravenously injected with a pool of 24 capsids. Three weeks after injection (3 wpi), tissue samples were collected for total RNA and genomic DNA isolation. Total RNA was treated with DNase I to remove the AAV genome. Cap9-specific mRNA was reverse transcribed and amplified by PCR (RT-PCR). Genomic DNA was used for cap9-specific PCR. Pooled AAV vector DNA (for NHP injection) was amplified and synthesized using the minimum number of cycles. All purified PCR products were subjected to NGS (NovaSeq 6000 S4 Reagent Kit v1.5, 300 cycles). Enrichment scores (ES) were analyzed using a customized pipeline. 【0447】 The mRNA transgene levels of a total of 24 viral capsids were compared to wild-type AAV9 and expressed as a multiplicative change (FC) (Table 4). 【0448】 Example 6: Multiple validation of a single novel capsid in NHP. 【0449】 Adult male cynomolgus monkeys (4.25 kg) were intravenously injected with four pooled capsids: two mutants (AVT917 and AVT919) and two control capsids (AAV9 and MyoAAV 4A) at a dose of 1E13vg / kg / capsid. Each capsid contained a cyno-FXN coding sequence with different tags (Flag, AU1, V5, HA) under the control of a chicken β-actin (CB) promoter and CMV enhancer. Methylprednisolone was orally administered at an animal dose of 1 mg / kg / day for a total of eight days, starting three days before AAV injection. Three weeks after injection (3 wpi), the animals were anesthetized and sacrificed. Tissue was collected for total RNA and genomic DNA isolation. Multiple locations of the same tissue were collected for sampling. HiScript III 1 st mRNA was reverse transcribed using a cDNA synthesis kit (+g DNA wiper) (Vazyme, R412). Transgene-specific transcripts were quantified by qPCR using primers / probes for the tag. The endogenous macaque GAPDH housekeeping gene was used for normalization. The Bio-Rad CFX96 real-time PCR detection system was used for data collection and analysis. Relative transgene mRNA levels were 2 - Δ CtThe calculations were performed using the following method. To identify AAV vector genome copies in the tissue, 10–300 ng of purified genomic DNA was used in 20 μL of ddPCR reaction mixture, following the instructions for ddPCR Supermix for Probes (without dUTP, catalog number 1863025, Bio-Rad). Primers / probes for tags (FAM markers) were used for detection of the vector genome, and RNA polymerase P primers / probes (VIC markers, catalog number 4403328, Thermo Fisher Scientific) were used as a reference for macaque genome copy number. A QX200 droplet generator and reader (Bio-Rad) were used for data collection and analysis. The expression level of AAV9-mediated transgenes was set to 1.0. Improvements in capsids AVT917 and AVT919 were shown by calculating the multiplicative changes of AAV9. 【0450】 By comparing transgene expression at the mRNA level, AVT919 and the control capsid MyoAAV 4A showed significantly higher transduction than AAV9 in the tibialis anterior, triceps, quadriceps, gastrocnemius, rectus abdominis, diaphragm, atria, and ventricles (Figure 12). AVT917 also showed higher expression than AAV9 in muscle tissue (Figure 12). In other words, in NHP muscle tissue, the order was AVT919 ≈ MyoAAV 4A > AVT917 > AAV9. 【0451】 In the livers of NHP (non-hemolytic pulmonary hematopoietic) monkeys, AVT919 showed the highest expression levels in all lobes of the liver (Figure 13). In other words, after intravenous administration, the order of expression in monkey livers was AVT919 > MyoAAV 4A > AAV9 > AVT917 (Figure 13). 【0452】 No significant differences were observed between brain and spinal cord tissue for AVT919, MyoAAV4A, and AAV9 (Figure 14). AVT917 showed relatively low transgene expression in the brain and spinal cord after intravenous administration (Figure 14). 【0453】 The mutant AVT919 (square in Figure 15) showed 33.6-fold, 35.8-fold, 30-fold, 34.7-fold, 33.2-fold, and 35.3-fold improvements in mRNA levels in the tibialis anterior, triceps, quadriceps, gastrocnemius, rectus abdominis, and diaphragm, respectively, compared to AAV9 (inverted triangle in Figure 15) (Figure 15). 【0454】 The mutant AVT917 (upper triangle in Figure 15) showed improvements of 6.8-fold, 8.0-fold, 7.7-fold, 9.6-fold, 6.4-fold, and 4.8-fold at the mRNA level in the tibialis anterior, triceps, quadriceps, gastrocnemius, rectus abdominis, and diaphragm, respectively, compared to AAV9 (inverted triangle in Figure 15) (Figure 15). 【0455】 The mutant AVT919 (square in Figure 16) showed improvements of 5.1-fold, 4.6-fold, 6.7-fold, 1.7-fold, and 1.0-fold in mRNA levels in the atria, ventricles, liver, brain, and spinal cord, respectively, compared to AAV9 (inverted triangle in Figure 16) (Figure 16). 【0456】 The mutant AVT917 (upper triangle in Figure 16) showed mRNA levels 1.2 times, 1.1 times, 0.5 times, 0.3 times, and 0.2 times higher than AAV9 in the atria, ventricles, liver, brain, and spinal cord, respectively (Figure 16). 【0457】 By comparing vector genome copies, AVT919 (square in Figure 17) and the control capsid MyoAAV 4A (black circle in Figure 17) showed significantly higher transduction than AAV9 in the tibialis anterior, triceps, quadriceps, and gastrocnemius muscles (Figure 17). Three weeks after intravenous administration to NHP at a dose of 1E13vg / kg, AVT919 showed vector genome copy / diploid genome ratios of 1.0, 1.0, 1.5, and 1.9 in the tibialis anterior, triceps, quadriceps, and gastrocnemius muscles, respectively (square symbol in Figure 17). 【0458】 By comparing vector genome copies, AVT919 and the control capsid MyoAAV 4A showed significantly higher transduction than AAV9 in the rectus abdominis, diaphragm, atria, and ventricles (Figure 18). Three weeks after intravenous administration to NHP at a dose of 1E13vg / kg, AVT919 showed vector genome copies / diploid genome ratios of 5.8, 9.4, 15.8, and 14.9 in the rectus abdominis, diaphragm, atria, and ventricles, respectively (square symbols in Figure 18). 【0459】 AVT917 (upper triangle in Figure 18) showed higher transduction in the rectus abdominis, diaphragm, atria, and ventricles compared to AAV9 (Figure 18). 【0460】 The mutants AVT917 and AVT919 showed similar transduction at the DNA level in the spleen, kidney, and lung compared to AAV9 (Figure 19). 【0461】 AVT917, AVT919, and the control capsid MyoAAV 4A showed higher transduction at the DNA level in the adrenal gland than AAV9 (Figure 19). Specifically, after intravenous administration to NHP at a dose of 1E13vg / kg, MyoAAV4A, AVT919, AVT917, and AAV9 showed 24.2, 6.8, 10.1, and 2.4 vector genome copies / diploid genomes, respectively, in the adrenal gland three weeks later (Figure 19). 【0462】 The mutants AVT917 and AVT919 showed similar transduction at the DNA level in the pancreas, brain, and spinal cord compared to AAV9 (Figure 20). 【0463】 AVT919 showed significantly higher vector genome copies in the liver of NHP patients compared to the control capsids MyoAAV 4A and AAV9 (Figure 20). Specifically, three weeks after intravenous administration of 1E13vg / kg to NHP patients, MyoAAV4A, AVT919, AVT917, and AAV9 showed vector genome copies / diploid genome ratios of 148.0, 226.7, 60.2, and 84.9, respectively, in the liver (Figure 20). 【0464】 Example 7: Single-pronged validation of a novel capsid in NHP. 【0465】 A 4-year-old female cynomolgus monkey (3.35 kg) was intravenously injected with the AAV9 capsid at a dose of 2E13 vg / kg. A 5-year-old female cynomolgus monkey (3.0 kg) was intravenously injected with the same dose of the mutant AVT919. Both animals were negative for pre-existing neutralizing anti-AAV9 capsid antibodies. Both AAV9 and AVT919 capsids contained the same AAV genome sequence, which was a hemagglutinin (HA)-tagged Cyno FXN transgene driven by the chicken β-actin promoter. Four weeks after intravenous injection, the animals were anesthetized and sacrificed. Tissue was collected for total RNA extraction. For sampling, multiple locations of the same tissue were collected. HiScript III 1 st mRNA was reverse transcribed using a cDNA synthesis kit (+gDNA wiper) (Vazyme, R412). Transgene-specific transcripts were quantified by RT-qPCR using primers / probes for HA tags. The endogenous macaque GAPDH housekeeping gene was used for normalization. Relative transgene mRNA levels were 2 - Δ Ct It was calculated using the formula. 【0466】 Compared to AAV9 (square in Figure 21), the mutant AVT919 showed significantly improved transgene expression at the mRNA level in skeletal muscles, including the tibialis anterior, triceps, quadriceps, gastrocnemius, rectus abdominis, diaphragm, and heart (Figure 21). 【0467】 Specifically, AVT919 showed 57-fold, 21-fold, 6-fold, 4-fold, 47-fold, 7-fold, and 2-fold improvements compared to AAV9 at the mRNA level in the tibialis anterior, triceps, quadriceps, gastrocnemius, rectus abdominis, diaphragm, and heart, respectively (Figure 22). 【0468】 To detect the protein products of AAV-mediated transgenes, tissues collected after treatment with rabbit anti-HA monoclonal primary antibody (catalog number 37245, Cell Signaling Technology) were immunostained. Peroxidase AffiniPure goat anti-rabbit IgG(H+L) secondary antibody (Jackson, catalog number 111-035-003) diluted 1:5000 and DAB substrate were used for staining (brown). 【0469】 Four weeks after intravenous administration of AAV at a dose of 2E13vg / kg via NHP, AAV9 showed weak or low transgene expression at the protein level in the tibialis anterior, triceps, quadriceps, gastrocnemius, and rectus abdominis muscles (Figures 23A-C). In contrast, the mutant AVT919 showed strong or high transgene expression in muscle tissue including the tibialis anterior, triceps, quadriceps, gastrocnemius, rectus abdominis, diaphragm, and heart (Figures 23A-D). 【0470】 The mutant AVT919 showed higher transgene expression at the protein level compared to AAV9, and also higher than in NHP liver (Figure 23E). 【0471】 [Table 4] 【0472】 All capsids (except AVT905 and AV9ML018) showed improvement in muscle compared to AAV9. Furthermore, AVT919, AVT913, AVT915, AVT914, AVT917, AVT916, and AV9ML012 showed improvement at the mRNA level in various muscle tissues compared to MyoAAV 4A (Table 5). 【0473】 [Table 5] 【0474】 AVT918, AV9ML005, AVT913, AVT919, AV9ML002, and AVT916 showed improvement in the brains of NHP patients after intravenous administration, and their mRNA levels were more than twice that of AAV9 (Table 6). 【0475】 [Table 6] 【0476】 AVT914, AVT916, AVT917, AVT918, AVT913, and AVT915 showed improvement in NHP in the liver after intravenous administration, and their mRNA levels were more than twice that of AAV9 (Table 7). 【0477】 [Table 7] 【0478】 Furthermore, 27 capsid variants (AV9ML025~051) were identified as superior to the standard MyoAAV 4A at the mRNA level in NHP (Table 8). 【0479】 [Table 8-1] [Table 8-2] 【0480】 Example 8: Engineered AAV9 variant for effective muscle transduction 【0481】 Systemic administration of adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors expressing functional genes is considered a promising treatment for muscular dystrophy. However, due to the low transduction efficiency in muscle after intravenous delivery, very high doses of AAV are required. This study aims to engineer novel AAV capsids with enhanced transduction efficiency in muscle using AI-assisted AAV capsid evolution discovery technology. Based on the AAV9 capsid, random peptides were generated and screened in mice and non-human primates (NHPs) and inserted into an AAV capsid library. The screening process relied on the recovery of muscle-specific viral mRNA using the proprietary robust synthetic muscle-specific promoter SCC45. Two screenings were performed in three mouse strains (C57BL / 6, BALB / c, and DBA / 2j-mdx), and one screening was performed in NHPs, after which top capsid candidates were selected and validated individually. By using GFP and a firefly luciferase reporter gene, many mutants showed significant improvement (up to 113-fold) in mouse skeletal muscle compared to AAV9. One mutant, AVT913, showed 26-fold enhanced transduction at the mRNA level in the heart. 【0482】 Furthermore, the AVT919 mutant showed significant improvement over the standard muscle-oriented AAV capsid, MyoAAV2A, in the triceps and tibialis anterior muscles. While most top mutants exhibited improved muscle transduction and reduced liver orientation, the specific mutant AVT908 demonstrated enhanced efficiency in both muscle and liver. 【0483】 To confirm whether similar tissue-targeting patterns are reproduced in NHP, these mutants were packaged individually with other candidates and intravenously injected into adult cynomolgus monkeys. Characteristic results revealed cross-species translationability. These engineered muscle-targeted AAV capsids would provide an efficient delivery platform for muscle-targeted gene therapy. 【0484】 Incorporated by reference 【0485】 All references cited herein are incorporated herein by collective citation for all purposes, to the extent that each individual publication, patent or patent application is specifically and individually cited and incorporated herein by collective citation for all purposes. 【0486】 It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that many modifications and changes can be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
