  • heVLPs that are capable of packaging and delivering DNA, RNA, protein, chemical compounds and/or molecules, and any combination of these four entities into eukaryotic cells.
  • the non-viral heVLP systems described herein have the potential to be simpler, more efficient and safer than conventional, artificially-derived lipid/gold nanoparticles and viral particle-based delivery systems because heVLPs are comprised of human-derived components.
  • the cargo inside may or may not be human derived, but the heVLP is entirely comprised from human and synthetic non-immunogenic components.
  • Synthetic components include surface scFv/nanobody/darpin peptides that have been demonstrated to not be immunostimulatory and can be used to enhance targeting and cellular uptake of heVLPs. This means that the exterior surface of the particle lacks components that are significantly immunostimulatory, which should minimize immunogenicity and antibody neutralization of these particles. Excluding cargo, the heVLPs do not contain exogenous viral components inherent to other VLPs and this represents a significant and novel advancement in technology.

  • Genome editing reagents such as zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs) or RNA-guided, enzymatically active/inactive DNA binding proteins such as Cas9 have undergone rapid advancements in terms of specificity and the types of edits that can be executed, but the hurdle of safe in vivo delivery still precludes efficacious gene editing therapies.

  • Retroviral particles such as lentivirus
  • VLPs have been developed that mimic virus particles in their ability to self-assemble, but are not infectious as they lack some of the core viral genes.
  • Both lentiviral and VLP vectors are typically produced by transiently transfecting a producer cell line with plasmids that encode all components necessary to produce lentiviral particles or VLP.
  • One major flaw that we have discovered regarding lentiviral particles and VSVG-based VLPs that are produced by this conventional transient transfection method is that, in addition to their conventional cargo, these particles package and deliver plasmid DNA that was used in the initial transient transfection.
  • This unintended plasmid DNA delivery can be immunogenic and cause undesirable effects, such as plasmid DNA being integrated into genomic DNA. It is important to specify the type of biomolecules and/or chemicals that are to be delivered within particles, and heVLPs have been designed to possess this germane capability.
  • heVLPs described herein can deliver DNA only, DNA+RNA+protein, or RNA+protein.
  • heVLPs are the first VLP delivery modality that leverages select components from human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) to create particles for customizable cargo delivery into eukaryotic cells.
  • HERVs human endogenous retroviruses
  • heVLPs are capable of controlling the form of the cargo (DNA, protein, and/or RNA). All other previously described VLPs and viral particles package and deliver unwanted plasmid DNA (or other types of DNA-based gene expression constructs) introduced into particle producer cells via transient transfection in addition to the intended protein and/or RNA cargo(s).
  • heVLPs Another non-obvious aspect of heVLPs is the ENV protein on the surface of the heVLP.
  • the ENV protein is responsible for the ability of heVLPs to efficiently deliver cargo into cells.
  • the majority of retroviral ENV proteins require post-translational modifications in the form of proteolytic cleavage of the intracellular domain (ICD) of the ENV protein in order to activate the fusogenicity of the ENV protein; this is essential for infectivity.
  • ICD intracellular domain
  • the envelope proteins described in Table 1 are all derived from HERVs that are expressed to varying levels in healthy human tissues (or HERV ENV consensus sequences). Some of these sequences possess ICD truncations that have been shown to enhance fusogenicity, but most do not require truncation.
  • heVLPs do not require exogenous, virally-derived GAG for particle formation because heVLPs utilize human-endogenous GAG proteins from HERVs (or HERV GAG consensus sequences). 1 These HERV GAG proteins enable heVLP formation and are expressed to varying levels in healthy human tissues. Importantly, heVLPs are different from previously described viral particles, VLPs, and extracellular vesicles because heVLPs are composed of a novel combination of HERV ENV and GAG components, and heVLPs lack components from exogenous viruses. 2,3 Because of the above mentioned design optimizations, heVLPs are particularly suited for delivery of DNA, RNA, protein, or combinations of biomolecules and/or chemicals, such as DNA-encoded or RNP-based genome editing reagents.
  • Genome editing reagents especially CRISPR-CAS, zinc finger, and TAL-nuclease-based reagents have the potential to become in vivo therapeutics for the treatment of genetic diseases, but techniques for delivering genome editing reagents into cells are severely limiting or unsafe for patients.
  • Conventional therapeutic monoclonal antibody delivery is successful at utilizing direct injection for proteins.
  • strategies for direct injection of gene editing proteins, such as Cas9 are hampered by immunogenicity, degradation, ineffective cell specificity, and inability to cross the plasma membrane or escape endosomes/lysosomes. 4-10 More broad applications of protein therapy and gene editing could be achieved by delivering therapeutic protein cargo to the inside of cells.
  • Cas9 for example, cannot efficiently cross the phospholipid bilayer to enter into cells, and has been shown to have innate and adaptive immunogenic potential. 4-8 Therefore, it is not practical or favorable to deliver Cas9 by direct injection or as an external/internal conjugate to lipid, protein or metal-based nanoparticles that have cytotoxic and immunogenic properties and often yield low levels of desired gene modifications. 9-20
  • Nanoparticles that encapsulate cargo are another delivery strategy that can be used to deliver DNA, protein, RNA and RNPs into cells 9-18 Nanoparticles can be engineered for cell specificity and can trigger endocytosis and subsequent endosome lysis. However, nanoparticles can have varying levels of immunogenicity due to an artificially-derived vehicle shell. 9-20 Many nanoparticles rely on strong opposing charge distributions to maintain particle structural integrity, and the electrostatics can make it toxic and unfit for many in vivo therapeutic scenarios. 9 Nanoparticles that deliver RNA have had successes in recent clinical trials, but most have only been used to deliver siRNA or shRNA. Toxicity from such nanoparticles is still a major concern.
  • Nanoparticles that deliver mRNA coding for genome editing RNPs have also been a recent success, but these create a higher number of off-target effects compared to protein delivery and RNA stability is lower than that of protein. 17 Nanoparticles that deliver genome editing RNPs and DNA have been a significant breakthrough because they can leverage both homology directed repair (HDR) and non-homologous end joining (NHEJ), but exhibit prohibitively low gene modification frequencies in vitro and in vivo, and therefore currently have limited applications in vivo as a gene editing therapeutic. 15
  • HDR homology directed repair
  • NHEJ non-homologous end joining
  • AAV vectors are a promising delivery modality that can successfully deliver DNA into eukaryotic cells
  • AAV cannot efficiently package and deliver DNA constructs larger than 4.5 kb and this precludes delivery of many CRISPR-based gene editing reagents that require larger DNA expression constructs.
  • CRISPR-based gene editing reagents can be split into multiple different AAV particles, but this strategy drastically reduces delivery and editing efficiency.
  • AAV and adenoviral vectors can have varying levels of immunogenicity.
  • inverted-terminal repeats in the AAV DNA construct can promote the formation of spontaneous episomes leading to prolonged expression of genome editing reagents and increased off-target effects. ITRs can also promote the undesired integration of AAV DNA into genomic DNA. 21-24
  • VLPs have been utilized to deliver mRNA and protein cargo into the cytosol of cells. 2,3,25-30 VLPs have emerged as a substitute delivery modality for retroviral particles. VLPs can be designed to lack the ability to integrate retroviral DNA, and to package and deliver protein/RNP/DNA. However, most VLPs, including recently conceived VLPs that deliver genome editing reagents known to date, utilize HIV or other virally-derived gag-pol protein fusions and viral proteases to generate retroviral-like particles. 25-27,29,30 Secondly, some VLPs containing RGNs also must package and express guide RNAs from a lentiviral DNA transcript.
  • VLPs require a viral protease in order to form functional particles and release genome editing cargo.
  • 25-27,29 Since this viral protease recognizes and cleaves at multiple amino acid motifs, it can cause damage to the protein cargo which could be hazardous for therapeutic applications.
  • most published VLP modalities that deliver genome editing proteins to date exhibit low in vitro and in vivo gene modification efficiencies due to low packaging and transduction efficiency.
  • 25-27 Fifthly, the complex viral genomes utilized for these VLP components possess multiple reading frames and employ RNA splicing that could result in spurious fusion protein products being delivered.
  • Extracellular vesicles are another delivery modality that can package and deliver cargo within exosomes and ectosomes. 31,32 Similar to VLPs, extracellular vesicles are comprised of a phospholipid bilayer from a mammalian cell. Unlike VLPs, extracellular vesicles lack viral components and therefore have limited immunogenicity. Whereas VLPs have a great ability to enter cells due to external fusogenic glycoproteins (VSVG) extracellular vesicles mainly rely on cellular uptake via micropinocytosis and this limits the delivery efficiency of extracellular vesicles.
  • VSVG fusogenic glycoproteins
  • heVLPs try to leverage the delivery benefits of extracellular vesicles and VLPs.
  • heVLPs are the first VLP modality to eliminate all the potentially harmful exogenous, virally-derived components.
  • heVLP components are known to be involved in extracellular vesicle biogenesis, they are known to possess local immunosuppressive properties, and their expression in healthy human tissues minimizes the chance of eliciting an immune response because of central tolerance.
  • heVLPs are a safer and more effective alternative than previously described VLPs, extracellular vesicles, AAVs and nanoparticles-especially for delivery of genome editing reagents-because heVLPs are comprised of all human-derived components, heVLPs have the ability to deliver DNA+RNP, or RNP alone while other previously described VLPs cannot prevent transient transfection DNA from being unintentionally packaged and delivered, heVLPs can deliver specialty DNA molecules while previously described VLPs, nanoparticles and AAVs cannot or do not, and heVLPs can be produced with cells that have been derived from patients (autologous heVLPs) and other FDA-approved cell lines (allogenic heVLPs) to further reduce the risks of adverse immune reactions.

  • this invention provides a novel way of packaging and delivering reagents for applications of genome editing, epigenome modulation, transcriptome editing and proteome modulation. Importantly, this invention is also the first to address the phenomenon of inadvertent DNA delivery in VLPs and the first to control for the type of biomolecule to be delivered (DNA, RNA, and/or protein) thereby increasing the types of therapeutic in vivo genome modifications that are possible and minimizing deleterious off target effects.
  • Section 1 heVLP-Mediated Delivery of Cargo Including DNAs, Proteins, Compounds, and RNAs
  • VLPs that have been engineered to encapsulate and deliver protein-based cargo commonly fuse cargo to the INT or GAG polyprotein. 25-27,29,30,39,40 After transient transfection of production plasmid DNA constructs, these protein fusions are translated in the cytosol of conventional VLP production cell lines, the gag matrix is acetylated and recruited to the cell membrane, and the gag fusions are encapsulated (transient transfection DNA is also unintentionally encapsulated) within VLPs as VLPs bud off of the membrane into extracellular space.
  • the heVLPs described herein can package protein-based cargo by integrating all production DNA into the genomic DNA of production cell lines. Once cell lines are created, protein delivery heVLPs can be produced in a constitutive or inducible fashion. Proteins are packaged into heVLP by fusing select human-endogenous GAG proteins or other plasma membrane recruitment domains to protein-based cargo (e.g., as shown in Table 6). Human-endogenous GAG proteins and human pleckstrin homology (PH) domains localize to biological membranes. PH domains interact with phosphatidylinositol lipids and proteins within biological membranes, such as PIP2, PIPS, ⁇ -subunits of GPCRs, and PKC.
  • PIP2 phosphatidylinositol lipids and proteins within biological membranes
  • human-endogenous GAG proteins drive budding and particle formation.
  • This dual functionality of human-endogenous GAG enables packaging of cargo and budding/formation of particles.
  • One such human-endogenous GAG protein used for this purpose is the human Arc protein can be fused to protein-based cargo to recruit cargo to the cytosolic side of the phospholipid bilayer.
  • These human-endogenous GAG phospholipid bilayer recruitment domains can be fused to the N-terminus or C-terminus of protein-based cargo via polypeptide linkers of variable length regardless of the location or locations of one or more nuclear localization sequence(s) (NLS) within the cargo.

  • the use of these human-endogenous GAG and other phospholipid bilayer recruitment domains is novel and unique in that these human-endogenous GAG and other proteins can facilitate for localization of cargo to the cytosolic face of the plasma membrane within the heVLP production cells, and they also allow for cargo to localize to the nucleus of heVLP-transduced cells without the utilization of exogenous retroviral GAG or chemical and/or light-based dimerization systems ( FIG. 2 ).
  • the heVLP delivery of Cas9 for example, is significantly more efficient with a fusion to a human-endogenous GAG protein compared to a fusion to a PH plasma membrane recruitment domain or no fusion at all ( FIG. 3 ).

  • heVLP delivery of RNA editing reagents or proteome perturbing reagents could cause a transitory reduction in cellular levels of one or more specific proteins of interest (potentially at a systemic level, in a specific organ or a specific subset of cells, such as a tumor), and this could create a therapeutically actionable window when secondary drug(s) could be administered (this secondary drug is more effective in the absence of the protein of interest or in the presence of lower levels of the protein of interest).
  • heVLP delivery of RNA editing reagents or proteome perturbing reagents could trigger targeted degradation of MAPK and PI3K/AKT proteins and related mRNAs in vemurafenib/dabrafenib-resistant BRAF-driven tumor cells, and this could open a window for the administration of vemurafenib/dabrafenib because BRAF inhibitor resistance is temporarily abolished (resistance mechanisms based in the MAPK/PI3K/AKT pathways are temporarily downregulated by heVLP cargo).
  • This example is especially pertinent when combined with heVLPs that are antigen inducible and therefore specific for tumor cells.
  • heVLPs could deliver Yamanaka factors Oct3/4, Sox2, Klf4, and c-Myc to human or mouse fibroblasts in order to generate induced pluripotent stem cells.

  • pancreatic cancer patients present with unresectable disease. Around 30% of patients with unresectable pancreatic tumors will die from local disease progression, so it is desirable to treat locally advanced pancreatic tumors with ablative radiation, but the intestinal tract cannot tolerate high doses of radiation needed to cause tumor ablation. Selective radioprotection of the intestinal tract enables ablative radiation therapy of pancreatic tumors while minimizing damage done to the surrounding gastrointestinal tract.
  • heVLPs could be loaded with dCas9 fused to the transcriptional repressor KRAB and guide RNA targeting EGLN. EGLN inhibition has been shown to significantly reduce gastrointestinal toxicity from ablative radiation treatments because it causes selective radioprotection of the gastrointestinal tract but not the pancreatic tumor. 47
  • Unbound steroid receptors reside in the cytosol. After binding to ligands, these receptors will translocate to the nucleus and initiate transcription of response genes.
  • heVLPs could deliver single chain variable fragment (scFv) antibodies to the cytosol of cells that bind to and disrupt cytosolic steroid receptors.
  • scFv single chain variable fragment
  • the scFv could bind to the glucocorticoid receptor and prevent it from binding dexamethasone, and this would prevent transcription of response genes, such as metallothionein IE which has been linked to tumorigenesis.
  • heVLPs can be indicated for treatments that involve targeted disruption of proteins.
  • heVLPs can be utilized for targeting and disrupting proteins in the cytosol of cells by delivering antibodies/scFvs to the cytosol of cells.
  • Delivery of antibodies through the plasma membrane to the cytosol of cells has been notoriously difficult and inefficient. This mode of protein inhibition is similar to how a targeted small molecule binds to and disrupts proteins in the cytosol and could be useful for the treatment of a diverse array of diseases.
  • scFvs are not hampered by these limitations because scFvs can be generated that bind to many different moieties of a protein in order to disrupt catalysis and interactions with other proteins.
  • RAS oncoproteins are implicated across a multitude of cancer subtypes, and RAS is one of the most frequently observed oncogenes in cancer.
  • the International Cancer Genome Consortium found KRAS to be mutated in 95% of their Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma samples.
  • RAS isoforms are known to activate a variety of pathways that are dysregulated in human cancers, like the PI3K and MAPK pathways. Despite the aberrant roles RAS plays in cancer, no efficacious pharmacologic direct or indirect small molecule inhibitors of RAS have been developed and approved for clinical use.
  • One strategy for targeting RAS could be heVLPs that can deliver specifically to cancer cells scFvs that bind to and disrupt the function of multiple RAS isoforms. 49-51
