CRISPR-Cas9-based tools: potential new therapeutic approach for machado-joseph disease

This disclosure relates to Machado-Joseph disease (MJD) or spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3), an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder caused by excessive repetition of the polyglutamine-coding region in the ataxia protein-3 (ATXN3) gene. The extended ATXN3 readily aggregates and interferes with multiple cellular systems, ultimately leading to cellular dysfunction and death in specific neuronal populations. To date, no treatments have been developed that can reverse or delay the progression of MJD / SCA3. Strategies based on inhibiting harmful gene products have shown promising results in preclinical studies. However, these strategies do not target the root cause of the disease, producing incomplete and / or transient therapeutic effects in target cells or tissues. Recently, gene-based therapies, including the CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) system for gene editing, have been successfully used to permanently inactivate and correct disease-related genes, offering hope for the development of curative therapies for hereditary diseases.
