Definitions
- the present disclosure is in the fields of gene expression and genome editing.
- Huntington's Disease also known as Huntington's Chorea
- the mean age of onset for this disease is age 35-44 years, although in about 10% of cases, onset occurs prior to age 21, and the average lifespan post-diagnosis of the disease is 15-18 years.
- Prevalence is about 3 to 7 among 100,000 people of western European descent.
- Trinucleotide repeat expansion disorders were first characterized in the early 1990s ⁇ see Di Prospero and Fischbeck (2005) Nature Reviews Genetics 6:756-765). These disorders involve the localized expansion of unstable repeats of sets of three nucleotides and can result in loss of function of the gene in which the expanded repeat resides, a gain of toxic function, or both. Trinucleotide repeats can be located in any part of the gene, including non- coding and coding gene regions. Repeats located within the coding regions typically involve either a repeated glutamine encoding triplet (CAG) or an alanine encoding triplet (CGA).
- CAG repeated glutamine encoding triplet
- CGA alanine encoding triplet
- Expanded repeat regions within non-coding sequences can lead to aberrant expression of the gene while expanded repeats within coding regions (also known as codon reiteration disorders) may cause mis-folding and protein aggregation. The exact cause of the pathophysiology associated with the aberrant proteins is often not known.
- these regions typically contain a variable number of repeat sequences in the normal population, but in the afflicted populations, the number of repeats can increase from a doubling to a log order increase in the number of repeats.
- repeats are inserted within the N terminal coding region of the large cytosolic protein Huntingtin (Htt).
- Normal Htt alleles contain 15-20 CAG repeats, while alleles containing 35 or more repeats can be considered potentially HD causing alleles and confer risk for developing the disease. Alleles containing 36-39 repeats are considered incompletely penetrant, and those individuals harboring those alleles may or may not develop the disease (or may develop symptoms later in life) while alleles containing 40 repeats or more are considered completely penetrant. In fact, no asymptomatic persons containing HD alleles with this many repeats have been reported. Those individuals with juvenile onset HD ( ⁇ 21 years of age) are often found to have 60 or more CAG repeats.
- HD can involve +1 and +2 frameshifts within the repeat sequences such that the region will encode a poly-serine polypeptide (encoded by AGC repeats in the case of a +1 frameshift) track rather than poly-glutamine (Davies and Rubinsztein (2006) Journal of Medical Genetics : 893-896).
- the mutant Htt allele is usually inherited from one parent as a dominant trait. Any child born of a HD patient has a 50% chance of developing the disease if the other parent was not afflicted with the disorder. In some cases, a parent may have an intermediate HD allele and be asymptomatic while, due to repeat expansion, the child manifests the disease. In addition, the HD allele can also display a phenomenon known as anticipation wherein increasing severity or decreasing age of onset is observed over several generations due to the unstable nature of the repeat region during spermatogenesis.
- Htt leads to neuronal loss in the medium spiny gamma-aminobutyric acid (GAB A) projection neurons in the striatum, with neuronal loss also occurring in the neocortex.
- GAB A medium spiny gamma-aminobutyric acid
- brain areas greatly affected in people with Huntington's disease include the substantia nigra, cortical layers 3, 5, and 6, the CA1 region of the hippocampus, the angular gyrus in the parietal lobe, Purkinje cells of the cerebellum, lateral tuberal nuclei of the hypothalamus, and the centromedialparafascicular complex of the thalamus (Walker (2007) Lancet 369:218-228).
- Htt brain-derived neurotrophic factor
- Treatment options for HD are currently very limited. Some potential methodologies designed to prevent the toxicities associated with protein aggregation that occurs through the extended poly-glutamine tract such as overexpression of chaperonins or induction of the heat shock response with the compound geldanamycin have shown a reduction in these toxicities in in vitro models. Other treatments target the role of apoptosis in the clinical manifestations of the disease. For example, slowing of disease symptoms has been shown via blockage of caspase activity in animal models in the offspring of a pairing of mice where one parent contained a HD allele and the other parent had a dominant negative allele for caspase 1. Additionally, cleavage of mutant HD Htt by caspase may play a role in the pathogenicity of the disease.

Once in the cell, the contents are released (see MacDiarmid et al (2009) Nature Biotechnology 27(7):643).
- EDVs EnGeneIC delivery vehicles
- RNA or DNA viral based systems for the delivery of nucleic acids encoding engineered ZFPs, TALEs or CRISPR/Cas systems take advantage of highly evolved processes for targeting a virus to specific cells in the body and trafficking the viral payload to the nucleus.
- Viral vectors can be
- Conventional viral based systems for the delivery of ZFPs, TALEs or CRISPR/Cas systems include, but are not limited to, retroviral, lentivirus, adenoviral, adeno-associated, vaccinia and herpes simplex virus vectors for gene transfer. Integration in the host genome is possible with the retrovirus, lentivirus, and adeno-associated virus gene transfer methods, often resulting in long term expression of the inserted transgene. Additionally, high transduction efficiencies have been observed in many different cell types and target tissues.
- Lentiviral vectors are retroviral vectors that are able to transduce or infect non-dividing cells and typically produce high viral titers. Selection of a retroviral gene transfer system depends on the target tissue. Retroviral vectors are comprised of cw-acting long terminal repeats with packaging capacity for up to 6-10 kb of foreign sequence. The minimum cz ' s-acting LTRs are sufficient for replication and packaging of the vectors, which are then used to integrate the therapeutic gene into the target cell to provide permanent transgene expression.
- Widely used retroviral vectors include those based upon mouse leukemia virus (MuLV), gibbon ape leukemia virus (GaLV), Simian Immunodeficiency virus (SIV), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and combinations thereof (see, e.g., Buchscher et al, J. Virol. 66:2731-2739 (1992);
- Adenoviral based systems can be used.
- Adenoviral based vectors are capable of very high transduction efficiency in many cell types and do not require cell division. With such vectors, high titer and high levels of expression have been obtained. This vector can be produced in large quantities in a relatively simple system.
- Adeno-associated virus (“AAV”) vectors are also used to transduce cells with target nucleic acids, e.g., in the in vitro production of nucleic acids and peptides, and for in vivo and ex vivo gene therapy procedures (see, e.g., West et al, Virology 160:38-47 (1987); U.S. Patent No. 4,797,368; WO 93/24641; Kotin, Human Gene Therapy 5:793-801 (1994);
- At least six viral vector approaches are currently available for gene transfer in clinical trials, which utilize approaches that involve complementation of defective vectors by genes inserted into helper cell lines to generate the transducing agent.
- pLASN and MFG-S are examples of retroviral vectors that have been used in clinical trials (Dunbar et al, Blood 85:3048-305 (1995); Kohn et al, Nat. Med. 1 :1017-102 (1995); Malech e/ a/., PNAS 94:22 12133-12138 (1997)).
- PA317/pLASN was the first therapeutic vector used in a gene therapy trial. (Blaese et al, Science 270:475-480 (1995)). Transduction efficiencies of 50% or greater have been observed for MFG-S packaged vectors. (Ellem et al, Immunol Immunother. 44(1): 10-20 (1997); Dranoff et al, Hum. Gene Ther. 1 :111-2 (1997).
- rAAV Recombinant adeno-associated virus vectors
- All vectors are derived from a plasmid that retains only the AAV 145 bp inverted terminal repeats flanking the transgene expression cassette. Efficient gene transfer and stable transgene delivery due to integration into the genomes of the transduced cell are key features for this vector system.
- AAV serotypes including AAV1, AAV3, AAV4, AAV5, AAV6, AAV8 AAV 8.2, AAV9, and AAV rhl 0 and pseudotyped AAV such as AAV2/8, AAV2/5 and AAV2/6 can also be used in accordance with the present invention.
- Replication-deficient recombinant adenoviral vectors can be produced at high titer and readily infect a number of different cell types. Most adenovirus vectors are engineered such that a transgene replaces the Ad Ela, Elb, and/or E3 genes; subsequently the replication defective vector is propagated in human 293 cells that supply deleted gene function in trans. Ad vectors can transduce multiple types of tissues in vivo, including nondividing, differentiated cells such as those found in liver, kidney and muscle. Conventional Ad vectors have a large carrying capacity.
- Ad vector An example of the use of an Ad vector in a clinical trial involved polynucleotide therapy for antitumor immunization with intramuscular injection (Sterman et al, Hum. Gene Ther. 7:1083-9 (1998)). Additional examples of the use of adenovirus vectors for gene transfer in clinical trials include Rosenecker et al, Infection 24: 1 5-10 (1996); Sterman et al, Hum. Gene Ther. 9:7 1083-1089 (1998); Welsh et al, Hum. Gene Ther. 2:205-18 (1995); Alvarez et al, Hum. Gene Ther. 5:597-613 (1997); Topf et al, Gene Ther. 5:507-513 (1998); Sterman et al, Hum. Gene Ther. 7:1083-1089 (1998).
- Packaging cells are used to form virus particles that are capable of infecting a host cell. Such cells include 293 cells, which package adenovirus, and ⁇ 2 cells or PA317 cells, which package retrovirus.
- Viral vectors used in gene therapy are usually generated by a producer cell line that packages a nucleic acid vector into a viral particle. The vectors typically contain the minimal viral sequences required for packaging and subsequent integration into a host (if applicable), other viral sequences being replaced by an expression cassette encoding the protein to be expressed. The missing viral functions are supplied in trans by the packaging cell line.
- AAV vectors used in gene therapy typically only possess inverted terminal repeat (ITR) sequences from the AAV genome which are required for packaging and integration into the host genome.
- ITR inverted terminal repeat
- Viral DNA is packaged in a cell line, which contains a helper plasmid encoding the other AAV genes, namely rep and cap, but lacking ITR sequences.
- the cell line is also infected with adenovirus as a helper.
- the helper virus promotes replication of the AAV vector and expression of AAV genes from the helper plasmid.
- the helper plasmid is not packaged in significant amounts due to a lack of ITR sequences. Contamination with adenovirus can be reduced by, e.g., heat treatment to which adenovirus is more sensitive than AAV.
- the gene therapy vector be delivered with a high degree of specificity to a particular tissue type.
- a viral vector can be modified to have specificity for a given cell type by expressing a ligand as a fusion protein with a viral coat protein on the outer surface of the virus.
- the ligand is chosen to have affinity for a receptor known to be present on the cell type of interest.
- Han et al Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 92:91 T - 9751 (1995), reported that Moloney mouse leukemia virus can be modified to express human heregulin fused to gp70, and the recombinant virus infects certain human breast cancer cells expressing human epidermal growth factor receptor.
- filamentous phage can be engineered to display antibody fragments (e.g., FAB or Fv) having specific binding affinity for virtually any chosen cellular receptor.
- Gene therapy vectors can be delivered in vivo by administration to an individual patient, typically by systemic administration (e.g., intravenous,
- vectors can be delivered to cells ex vivo, such as cells explanted from an individual patient (e.g., lymphocytes, bone marrow aspirates, tissue biopsy) or universal donor hematopoietic stem cells, followed by reimplantation of the cells into a patient, usually after selection for cells which have incorporated the vector.
- cells are isolated from the subject organism, transfected with a ZFP, TALE or CRISPR/Cas system nucleic acid (gene. cDNA or mRNA), and re-infused back into the subject organism (e.g., patient).
- a ZFP ZFP
- TALE CRISPR/Cas system nucleic acid
- one or more nucleic acids are delivered as mRNA.
- capped mRNAs to increase translational efficiency and/or mRNA stability.
- ARCA anti-reverse cap analog
- stem cells are used in ex vivo procedures for cell transfection and gene therapy.
- the advantage to using stem cells is that they can be differentiated into other cell types in vitro, or can be introduced into a mammal (such as the donor of the cells) where they will engraft in the bone marrow.
- Methods for differentiating CD34+ cells in vitro into clinically important immune cell types using cytokines such a GM-CSF, IFN- ⁇ and TNF-a are known (see Inaba et al, J. Exp. Med. 176: 1693-1702 (1992)).
- Stem cells are isolated for transduction and differentiation using known methods. For example, stem cells are isolated from bone marrow cells by panning the bone marrow cells with antibodies which bind unwanted cells, such as CD4+ and CD8+ (T cells), CD45+ (panB cells), GR-1 (granulocytes), and lad (differentiated antigen presenting cells) (see Inaba et al, J. Exp. Med. 176:1693-1702 (1992)).
- T cells CD4+ and CD8+
- CD45+ panB cells
- GR-1 granulocytes
- lad differentiated antigen presenting cells
- Stem cells that have been modified may also be used in some embodiments.
- neuronal stem cells that have been made resistant to apoptosis may be used as therapeutic compositions where the stem cells also contain the ZFP TFs of the invention. Resistance to apoptosis may come about, for example, by knocking out BAX and/or BAK using BAX- or BAK-specific TALENs or ZFNs (see, U.S. Patent Publication No. 20100003756) in the stem cells, or those that are disrupted in a caspase, again using caspase-6 specific ZFNs for example. These cells can be transfected with the ZFP TFs or TALE TFs that are known to regulate mutant or wild-type Htt.
- Vectors e.g., retroviruses, adenoviruses, liposomes, etc.
- therapeutic ZFP nucleic acids can also be administered directly to an organism for transduction of cells in vivo.
- naked DNA can be admimstered.
- Administration is by any of the routes normally used for introducing a molecule into ultimate contact with blood or tissue cells including, but not limited to, injection, infusion, topical application and electroporation. Suitable methods of administering such nucleic acids are available and well known to those of skill in the art, and, although more than one route can be used to administer a particular composition, a particular route can often provide a more immediate and more effective reaction than another route.
- Methods for introduction of DNA into hematopoietic stem cells are disclosed, for example, in U.S. Patent No. 5,928,638.
- Vectors useful for introduction of transgenes into hematopoietic stem cells include adenovirus Type 35.
- T-cells include non-integrating lentivirus vectors. See, for example, Ory et al. (1996) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 93: 11382-11388; Dull er al. (1998) J. Virol. 72:8463- 8471; Zuffery et al. (1998) J Virol. 72:9873-9880; Follenzi et al. (2000) Nature Genetics 25:217-222.

- ZFP-TFs or TALE TFs that repress a HD Htt allele may also be used in conjunction with ZFP-TFs or TALE-TFs that activate neutrotrophic factors including, but not limited to, GDNF and BDNF.
- ZFPs or TALEs or polynucleotides encoding these ZFPs or TALEs
- Methods and compositions for the treatment of Huntington's disease also include stem cell compositions wherein a mutant copy of the Htt allele within the stem cells has been modified to a wild-type Htt allele using a Htt-specific ZFN or TALEN.
- the methods and compositions of the invention are also useful for the design and implementation of in vitro and in vivo models, for example, animal models of trinucleotide repeate disorders, which allows for the study of these disorders.

- Example 1 Design and Construction of Htt-targeted zinc finger protein transcription factors (ZFP-TFs) and ZFNs
- Zinc finger proteins targeted to Htt were engineered essentially as described in U.S. Patent No. 6,534,261.
- Tables 1A and IB show the recognition helices of the DNA binding domain of exemplary Htt-targeted ZFPs, while Tables 2A and 2B show the target sequences of these ZFPs.
- ZFPs with one contiguous array of zinc fingers were designed to target sites completely within the CAG repeat region ( Figure IB). Such ZFPs may bind longer, mutant tracts with higher affinity and/or a higher net occupancy, achieving selective repression of the mutant allele. ZFNs were also designed that targeted sites which lay partially or wholly outside of the CAG region ( Figure 1 A), and which will therefore bind to the wild type and mutant allele equally, and regulate expression from both alleles with similar efficiency.
- a set of one- and two-finger modules can be employed in a 'mix and match' combination. Those modules are shown below in Table 2C.
- Table 2C Zinc finger recognition helices used in ZFP-TFs targeting CAG repeats
- Target site F2 F3 (F2+F3)
- CAG RSANLRE none 176
- CAG RNADRKK none 177
- Multimerizing ZFP TFs are also constructed as described above except that the vector also contains sequences encoding 1 or more protein interaction domains (also called dimerization or protein interaction domains) that enable multimerization of the expressed protein along a tract of trinucleotide repeats that is operably linked to the sequences encoding the ZFP TF.
- Table 3 shows dimerization domain designs that are used with ZFPs targeted to the CAG repeat region.
- Figure 10C shows protein sequences of the four ZFP monomer scaffolds that are designed to multimerize via interactions between dimerizing zinc fingers (DZ), DZ1 - DZ4. Designs are based on work described in Mol. Syst. Biol. (2006) 2:2006.2011.
- Figure 10D shows protein sequences of the seven ZFP monomer scaffolds that are designed to multimerize via interactions between coiled-coils (CC), CC1 - CC7.
- CC#1 coiled-coils
- CC#2 CC#3 and CC#4 are based on (J Am. Chem. Soc. (2000), 122:5658-5659).
- CC and DZ domains allow the ZFP to polymerize within the major groove of a CAG tract (depicted in figure 10B). By choosing a finger array and dimerization domains with appropriate binding properties, efficient binding will occur only to the expanded CAG tract of a disease allele.
- ZFP-TFs were constructed as fusion proteins comprising a nuclear localization sequence, the engineered zinc finger DNA-binding domain (Tables 1 A and IB), targeted to the Htt allele, and a KRAB repression domain from the human KOX1 protein. See, Fig 1 A, IB and ID.
- the designed DNA-binding domains contain 3-6 finger modules, recognizing 9-18 bp sequences (Tables 2A and 2B). Nucleotides in the target site that are contacted by the ZFP recognition helices are indicated in uppercase letters; non-contacted nucleotides indicated in lowercase.
- ZFP-ZFP-TF molecules were also constructed where two ZFP DNA binding domains were fused with a flexible linker and fused to a K AB repression domain ( Figure IE). DNA binding domains were chosen from Tables 2 A and 2B.
- Example 2 Repression of both alleles of Htt in human and mouse cells.
- ZFPs were designed to bind to the Htt promoter and exon 1 region, wherein the target site was not entirely within the CAG repeat. See, Figure 1 A.
- the ZFP TFs were transfected into human cells and expression of Htt was monitored using real-time RT-PCR.
- Human HEK293 cells (Graham et al (1977) J Gen Virol 36 :59-74) were cultured in DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS and le 5 cells were transfected with 1 ⁇ g of plasmid DNA encoding indicated ZFP-KOX fusions by Amaxa
- Htt endogenous human Huntingtin
- ACTB normalization control beta-actin
- Lipofectamine® 2000 kit (Invitrogen) according to manufacturer's protocols. mHtt and ACTB mRNA levels were measured at 48 hours after transfection using ABI Taqman® primer/probe set Mm01213820 ml and 4352933E, respectively.
- mHtt/ ACTB ratios for ZFP transfected samples were normalized to that of the GFP control (set as 1).
- mouse Htt-specific ZFP-TF repressors can repress mouse Htt in
- mRNA for indicated ZFPs were generated using the mMessage mMachine kit (Ambion), and 0.1 , 0.5 or 2 ug of these mRNAs were transfected using Amaxa nucleofector as described above. Cells were harvested 48 hours after transfection for mHtt and ACTB expression analysis as described above. More significant repression in the striatal cells compared to that in Neuro2A cells was observed and may be a result of enhanced transfection efficiency achieved via mRNA transfection in straital cells.
- ZFPs were designed to bind within the CAG repeat.
- Figure 1 B shows one type of such ZFPs, with a contiguous array of zinc fingers linked to a repression domain (e.g. the KRAB domain from KOX1); these ZFPs can be designed with appropriate affinity such that threshold occupancy required from transcriptional repression can only be established on expanded CAG repeats.
- Figures 1C, ID and IE show threeother examples of ZFP design that can allow specific binding to the expanded CAG repeats.
- Htt human Huntingtin
- ACTB internal control beta-actin
- FIG. 3A ZFP repressors (fused with KRAB repression domain) designed to bind to CAG repeats (Figure IB), either to top or bottom strand, in HEK293 cells, effectively repressed Htt expression.
- Figure 3A depicts repressors of transcription where expression was measure in duplicate transfections (separate bars in the Figure) and multiple real-time PCR assays completed (error bars).
- promoter/exon 1 fragment that contains different CAG repeat lengths were constructed.
- the human Htt promoter/exon 1 fragment was amplified from HEK293 genomic DNA using forward primer:
- the forward primer introduces a Bglll site
- the reverse primer changes the first ATG of Htt into TAG and creates an Avrll site, and also includes a Hindlll site.
- the PCR product was digested with Bglll and Hindlll and ligated to pRL-TK vector (Promega) that was digested with the same enzymes to generate the construct pRL-Htt.
- the human Htt exonl fragment (coding sequence minus first ATG) was amplified from HEK293 genomic DNA or genomic DNA from HD patients with expanded CAG repeats using forward primer:
- the forward primer introduces an Avrll site
- the reverse primer introduces a Hindlll site.
- the PCR product was digested with Avrll and Hindlll and ligated to pRL-Htt vector that was digested with the same enzymes. Clones with 10, 17, 23 or 47 CAG repeats (pRL-Htt-CAG(x)) were identified by sequencing.
- pRL-Htt-C AG(x) reporters 300 ng
- pGL3 -promoter reporter lOOng, used as normalization control, Progema
- Firefly (pGL reporter) and renilla (pRT reporter) luciferase activities were measured 24 hours after transfection. Renilla luciferase levels were normalized to those of firefly luciferase from the same transfected sample, and further normalized to the renilla/firefly ratio of the "reporter only" sample.
- TF 30640 increases with the length of the CAG repeat, suggesting that ZFPs with DNA binding affinities similar to that of 30640 can repress Htt promoter activity via an expanded CAG repeat, and the level of repression is dependent on the CAG repeat lengths.
- Figure 3C shows a similar experiment as in Figure 3B, except the
- FIG. 3D shows ZFP-TFs 30640 and 30657 (fused to the KRAB repression domain of KOX1) can repress the knock-in Htt allele (CAG111) in immortalized striatal cells derived from the Hdh(Ql 11/Q7) knock-in mice, demonstrating the ZFPs such as 30640, which drives CAG repeat length-dependent repression of luciferase reporters, can also repress expression from an endogenous Htt allele that has expanded CAG repeat.
- mRNA for indicated ZFPs were generated using the mMessage mMachine kit (Ambion), and transfected into Hdh(Ql 11/Q7) cells at indicated doses using Amaxa nucleofector.
- forward primer CAGGTCCGGCAGAGGAACC SEQ ID NO: 193
- reverse primer TTCACACGGTCTTTCTTGGTGG SEQ ID NO: 194
- TTCACACGGTCTTTCTTGGTGG (SEQ ID NO: 196) were used.
- Figure 3E show the result of testing the ZFP-TFs 30640 and 30657 in an HD patient-derived fibroblast line (GM21756, Coriell) that has 15 and 70 CAGs on the normal and mutant Htt allele, respectively.
- a SNP -based allele-specific real-time PCR assay was first established to allow specific detection from the wild type or the mutant Htt allele. The phasing of the SNP (rs363099 T/C) was determined by Carroll et al. Mol Ther. (2011) 19:2178-85); "T” is on the normal allele and "C” is on the mutant allele.
- cDNA from the fibroblast was amplified by real-time PGR (SsoFast EvaGreen Supermix, Bio-Rad) using forward primer 099C.F (5 'AGTTTGGAGGGTTTCTC, SEQ ID NO:143) and reverse primer 099.R5 (5' TCGACTAAAGCAGGATTTCAGG, SEQ ID NO: 144); the annealing/extension temperature was 55.6 °C.
- Fig.3 A ZFP 30640, which showed CAG repeat length-dependent repression of the reporters, gave ⁇ 10% repression of the wild-type allele while repressed the mutant allele >90%.
- the levels of total Htt in each sample were consistent with those of wt and mutant Htt levels in the same sample.
- ZFP-30640 was also tested in a normal fibroblast line as well as other
- HD fibroblast lines that contain different CAG repeat length in the Htt gene (see Figure 3F). Htt expression from each allele was detected as described above. No Htt repression was observed in the normal fibroblast line (CAG18/18). In contrast, excellent allelic discrimination was observed in the CAG 15/67 and CAG15/70 lines at both a high and low dose of transfected 30640 mRNA ; similar results were obtain for the two HD fibroblast lines with intermediate CAG repeat length on the mutant allele (CAG 18/44 and CAG 18/45) - wherein the expanded allele is repressed by -80% at both the high and low doses of 30640, yet the CAG18 allele remained unaffected. Taken together, these data indicate that allele-specific repressors such as 30640 can maintain strong CAG allele length selectivity in the context of more prevalent disease genotypes such as CAG18/44 and CAG18/45.
- ZFPs such as 30640 selectively down-regulated mutant Htt protein levels in two patient-derived fibroblast lines, confirming allele-specific regulation that was shown by qPCR assays (see Figure 3G).
- ZFPs were delivered by mRNA transfection (Amaxa nucleofection) at a 300 ng dose into 4 replicates of 1.5e5 cells and pooled prior to plating in 12-well plates. At 48 hours, cells were washed and harvested for protein extract preparation. Approximately 2.5 ug of extract was loaded onto 5% Tris-acetate gels and detected by MAB2166 (Millipore).
- Figure 4A shows the results of testing ZFP-TFs 30640, 30643, 30645 and 33074 (all targeted to the CAG repeat and uses the RAB repression domain) in a CAG18/45 HD fibroblast line.
- Different amounts of ZFP mRNA were transfected using Amaxa nucleofector as indicated, expression of the mutant Htt (right bar), wild type Htt (middle bar) and total Htt (both alleles, left bar) were measured as described above at 24 hours after transfection.
- ZFPs 30640, 30645 and 33074 drive allele- specific repression over the entire 3 ug - 10 ng ZFP mRNA dose range; while 30643 appears to repress both alleles significantly at doses that are 30 ng or higher, and begins to exhibit allele selectivity at the 10 ng dose.
- Figure 4B shows the results of testing ZFP 30643, 30648, 30657 and
- CAG repeat containing genes was analyzed, and the results are depicted in Figure 5.
- the expression levels of the following genes was examined using real-time PCR and normalized to that of Actin: Ataxin 2 ("ATXN2”); Dynamin (“DNM1”); F-box only protein 11 (“FBXOH”), nitrate reductase (“NAP”); Origin recognition complex subunit 4 ("ORC4"); phosphokinase ("PHK”); OCT3/4 protein (“POU3”); THAP domain containing, apoptosis associated protein 2 (" ⁇ ”); TATA binding protein (“TBP”); and stanniocalcin 1("STC1").
- TSS transcriptional start site
- HD fibroblasts (CAG18/45) were transfected to study genome-wide specificity of CAG-targeted ZFPs by microarray analysis ( Figure 6).
- ZFPs were delivered by rnRNA transfection (Amaxa nucleofection) at the indicated doses - ZFPs 30640, 30645 and 33074 were transfected in sextuplicate at the 75 ng, 15 ng and 15 ng dose, respectively;
- GFP-Kox mRNA 150 ng was transfected as a control, and was used as carrier to bring the total amount of transfected mRNA to 150 ng in all samples.
- HGU133plus2.0 as follows: GFP replicate 1, 3, 4 and 6; 30640 replicate 2, 3, 5 and 6; 30645 replicate 2, 3, 5 and 6; and 33074 replicate 1, 3, 4 and 5 were used for microarray analysis.
- Robust Multi-array Average (RMA) was used to normalize raw signals from each probe set; ZFP-transfected samples were compared to GFP- transfected samples using T-test; "change" calls were made on genes (probe sets) with >2 fold difference relative to control samples and T-test P-value ⁇ 0.05.
- Htt was not detected as a repressed (>2-fold repression) gene because the Htt probe set on the array detects both wt and mutant Htt mRNA. This experiment demonstrates that mutant Htt-specific ZFPs, when expressed at levels that drive efficient allele-specific repression of Htt, can operate with very high specificity genome- wide.
- HD iPSC/ESCs were passaged with accutase and cultured on matrigel coated plates in E8 media (Life Technologies).
- Neural stem cells were derived using StemPro Neural Induction Medium (Life Technologies). Briefly, iPSC/ESCs were seeded into geltrex coated 6 well dish with 200,000 cells/well and when 10-20% confluent the medium was changed to StemPro Neural Induction Medium. Medium was changed every 2 days and NSC harvested and expanded on day 7. StemPro NSC SFM medium (Life Technologies) was used to culture NSCs.
- HD NSCs (CAGl 7/69, derived from Coriell GM23225 iPSC) were transfected with 1.5 or 0.5 ⁇ g ZFP mRNA using nucleofection. Forty-eight hours post transfection cells were harvested and expression quantified by RT-PCR. Allele-specific detection of Htt expression was performed using a SNP (rsl 143646)-based genotyping assay #4351376 (Applied Biosystems).
- Example 8 Htt repression in differentiated HD neurons
- HD NSCs were passaged with accutase on geltrex coated plates.
- Neuron differentiation was induced by changing medium to neural differentiation medium containing StemPRO NSC SFM medium without (bFGF and EGF). Medium was changed every 3-4 days for up to 21 days. Neurons were derived from NSC
- Example 9 A CAG targeted repressor represses mutant Htt transgene in R6/2 mice
- -120 CAG repeat see Mangiarini et al, (1996) Cell 15:197) received stereotactic, bilateral striatal injections of 3el0 vector genome of recombinant AAV2/6 encoding either ZFP 30640-KOX or GFP driven by a CMV promoter. Mice were injected at 5 weeks of age and sacrificed for molecular analysis at 8 weeks of age. Left and rightstriata were dissected from each hemisphere and snap frozen. To assess repression of the mutant Htt transgene, total RNA was extracted from each striatum with TRIzol Plus (Life Technologies) followed by cDNA synthesis using High Capacity RT (Life Technologies).
- dimerization domains can interact in a "parallel” fashion and yield "head-to-head” or "tail-to-tail” dimers of fusion proteins that contain them.
- One potential dimerization strategy requires an array of identical ZFP-transcription factor fusions that bind in a "head-to-tail” orientation and thus this strategy requires dimerization domains that interact in an "anti-parallel” fashion. See, e.g., McClain et al. (2001) J Am. Chem. Soc. 123:3151-3152) and dimerizing zinc finger peptides (Giesecke et al. (2006), Molecular Systems Biology 2:2006.2011).
- Dimerization contracts CC1 and CC2 were based on pairs of antiparallel coiled coils (McClain et al , ibid, Ghosh et al. (2000) J Am Chem Soc 122:5658-5659). Dimerization constructs CC3 and CC4 were truncated versions of CC2 that lack either 4 residues or 7 residues respectively. Dimerization constructs DZ1 , DZ2, DZ3, and DZ4 were based on pairs of dimerizing zinc finger domains (Giesecke et al, ibid).
- one member of the pair was fused to the N- terminus of the zinc finger DNA binding domain and the other member of the pair was fused to the C-terminus of the zinc finger DNA binding domain.
- Short linkers rich in glycine and serine residues were used to fuse the dimerization domains to the zinc finger binding domain.
- Additional embodiments of the invention utilize linkers with alternate lengths and/or amino acid composition. Linkers with one or more residues removed or with one or more glycine or serine residues changes to other amino acid residues will reduce the flexibility of these linkers and may result in improved discrimination between long and short CAG repeats.
- ZFPs were designed as illustrated in Figure ID and Figure 10A and 4B.
- Figure I OC and 10D show the sequences of the multimerization domains.
- Figure 11A and 1 IB depict the results that experiments designed to measure the ability of the ZFP-TFs comprising the CC and DZ domains, respectively to repress their targets.
- indicated ZFP constructs 50 ng were co-transfected with pRL-Htt-CAG17 (200ng), pGL3-Htt-CAG47 (200ng) and pVax-SEAP (secreted alkaline phosphatase, 10 ng, used as normalization control) into HEK293 cells.
- Luciferase activity and secreted alkaline phosphatase activities were measured 24 hours after transfection.
- the Renilla luciferase (CAG17)/SEAP and firefly luciferase (CAG47)/SEAP ratios for each sample were normalized to those of the reporter-only samples.
- the pGL3-Htt- CAG47 reporter was constructed in the same way as the pRL-Htt-CAG47 reporter (see Example 3), except the pGL-promoter construct (Promega) was used instead of the pRL-TK construct.
- ZFP TFs were tested in HD fibroblasts that were of the ZFP-ZFP-KOX design.
- the two ZFP DNA binding domains were linked together with a flexible linker (LRQKDAARGSAAMAERP FQ, SEQ ID NO: 179) and fused to a KOX repression domain.
- the linker was placed between the conserved histidines and cysteines.
- the proteins were tested as described above using ZFP mPvNA at indicated doses.
- ZFPs as described herein were also evaluated for their ability to activate Htt expression.
- ZFPs targeted to the +200 to +467 bp region (relative to the transcription start site) of mouse Htt were fused to the transcriptional activation domain of NFKB p65 subunit. This targeting region was chosen because this fragment was replaced by the corresponding sequence (majority of exon 1 and some intron 1 sequence) from human Htt in various knock-in mouse models of HD
- ZFPs targeted to this region can selectively activate the wild type allele in those animals but not the knock-in allele.
- ZFPs were transfected into Neuro2A cells (both Htt alleles are wild type in these cells), mouse Htt and ACTB mRNA levels were measured as described in Example 2 (duplicate transfections and multiple assays).
- FIG. 13C The generation of the knock-in Htt allele is illustrated in Figure 13C; sequence alignment ( Figure 13D) shows divergence between the mouse sequence that was replaced and the corresponding human sequence.
- Figure 13E shows that when such ZFP activators were transfected into immortalized striatal cells derived from HdhQl 11/Q7 knock-in mice, only the wild type Htt was selectively activated.
- Example 13 Regulation of Htt expression in vivo
- AAV2 vectors encoding the ZFPs are produced. These AAV2 based constructs are then delivered to the brains of mice.
- AAV vectors are delivered to R6.2 mice or BAC HD mice (C57B1/6 or FVB/N strains) to assess the repression of the human transgene, as well as change in HD-like phenotypes.
- AAV vectors are delivered to wild-type mice (C57B1/6 or FVB/N) or human Htt knock-in mice (HdhQl 11/Q7, HdhQ140/Q7 or HdhQ175/Q7) to assess the activation or repression of the endogenous mouse Htt expression.
- AAV vectors are delivered to R6.2 mice or human Htt knock-in mice (HdhQl 1 1/Q7, HdhQl 40/Q7 or HdhQl 75/Q7) to examine the selective repression of wt vs.
- Htt allele Following sacrifice, brain tissues are analyzed for Htt expression by Taqman real-time RT-PCR, and demonstrate that the Htt genes are modulated by ZFP-TFs.
- Example 14 Co-transfection of a neurotrophic factor and a HD Htt allele-specific ZFP TF
- the Htt-specific ZFP TFs identified above are co-transfected with ZFP TFs-specific for a brain neurotrophic factor.
- the ZFP TF specific for brain neurotrophic factors used are specific for either GDNF or BDNF.
- Example 15 Design and Construction of Htt-targeted zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs)
- ZFNs targeting human Htt and mouse Htt were designed to target the sequences flanking the CAG repeats, sequences near the first coding ATG, the stop codon, as well as in early exons. ZFNs were designed and incorporated into plasmids or adenoviral vectors essentially as described in Urnov et al. (2005) Nature
- K562 cells were obtained from the American Type Culture Collection and grown as recommended in F-12 medium (Invitrogen) supplemented with 10% qualified fetal calf serum (FCS, Cyclone). Cells were disassociated from plastic ware using TrypLE SelectTM protease (Invitrogen). For transfection, one million K562 cells were mixed with 2 ⁇ g of the zinc-finger nuclease plasmid and ⁇ , Amaxa Solution T. Cells were transfected in an Amaxa Nucleofector IITM using program U-23 and recovered into 1.4mL warm F- 12 medium + 10% FCS.
- FCS fetal calf serum
- Genomic DNA was harvested and a portion of the Hit locus encompassing the intended cleavage site was PCR amplified. PCR using the
- Accuprime HiFi polymerase from InVitrogen was performed as follows: after an initial 3 minute denaturation at 94°C, 30 cycles of PCR are performed with a 30 second denaturation step at 94°C followed by a 30 second annealing step at 58°C followed by a 30 second extension step at 68°C. After the completion of 30 cycles, the reaction was incubated at 68°C for 7 minutes, then at 10°C indefinitely.
- Plasmids encoding the pairs of mouse Htt-specific ZFNs were tested in similar fashion in Neuro-2a cells.
- Figure 14A and B show that the ZFNs were capable of targeting the
- Htt genes with a gene modification efficiency of between 8-40%, assayed as described previously by the amount of indels observed.
- Example 17 Targeted integration of varying lengths of trinucleotide repeats
- Htt-specific ZFNs with the greatest cleaving activity for sequences flanking the CAG repeat as described above are used in a targeted integration strategy to introduce varying lengths of CAG repeat into a wild-type copy of Htt.
- Donors are constructed that contain 50, 80, 109 and 180 repeat CAG units. These donors are then transfected into K562 cells with plasmids encoding the Htt-specific ZFNs as described above. Verification of donor integration is achieved by genomic DNA isolation, PCR amplification (as described above) followed by sequencing of the region of interest.
- ZFNs identified in the K562 cells which result in targeted integration of the donor alleles into the Htt allele are used to insert the variable length donor nucleic acids into human embryonic stem cells (hESC). Successful donor integration is verified by genomic DNA isolation, PCR and sequencing as described above.
- Example 18 Disruption/knock-out of wild-type and/or mutant Htt
- ZFNs that cleave in early exons can result in small insertion or deletions (in-dels) as a result non-homologous end joining (NHEJ), this can generate cell models with one or both alleles of Htt disrupted,
- [0215J Indicated ZFN pairs were prepared as described above and tested for cleavage activity using the Cel I mismatch as described for Example 8. These ZFN pairs target early exons of human Htt, and thus may be used to knock-out either the wild-type or a mutant Htt allele.
- Example 19 Expression tagging of wild-type and HD Htt alleles.
- ZFNs with the greatest cleaving activity for the first or last coding exon are used to tag the wild-type and mutant Htt allele with different reporter proteins.
- Donor DNAs for each reporter (A and B) are designed based on the cleavage site of the lead ZFN pair(s) to allow targeted integration of the reporter gene to produce an in-frame fusion to Htt.
- Donor DNAs are co-transfected with the lead ZFN pair(s) into K562 cells for selecting the donor DNA construct that gives the highest frequency of integration.
- ZFN pairs were prepared as described above and tested for cleavage activity using the Cel I mismatch as described for Example 8.
- the ZFN pairs used target the 3' end of the Htt coding sequence, and thus may be used to target either a wild-type or a mutant Htt allele.
- ZFP pairs 25917/25916, 25920/25921 and 25923/25922 were capable of cleaving the Htt gene and can thus be utilized for the introduction of a reporter tag.
- the selected donor DNA construct for reporter A along with corresponding ZFNs are delivered to cells derived from subjects carrying mutant Htt gene (e.g.
- Clones are derived and screened for the target integration of the reporter A. Heterozygous events are desired and the targeted alleles are identified by PGR. Clones containing a single reporter-tagged Htt allele and unmodified ZFN target sequence on the other allele are selected; the donor construct for reporter B and corresponding ZFNs are transfected to tag the second allele with the reporter B.
- the resulting mouse embryonic stem cell clone contains the wild-type Htt allele and mutant allele tagged with two different markers that allow tracking of expression from each allele; these cells are used to generate mouse models of trinucleotide repeat disorders using standard protocols.
- TALE DNA binding domains were linked to the KRAB repression domain from the Koxl protein (TALE TF) and used to test repression of the Htt gene in HD patient (CAG 20/41)-derived fibroblasts.
- TALE TF Koxl protein
- the construction of the TALE proteins was done as described previously (see co-owned US Patent publication 20110301073 and co-owned US Patent application 13/679,684, both of which are incorporated herein by reference), and were constructed with three different C- terminal architectures: +63, +231 and +278 as described in US20110301073.
- the TALEN expression plasmids described previously were used except that the Fokl domain used for in the TALENs was replaced with the KRAB repression domain.
- the linkages of the C-terminus of the TALE protein and the KRAB domain are shown below, where the KRAB domain sequence is indicated by underline.
- the bold and italicized text indicates the triple flag tag, the bold text indicates the nuclear localization sequence, "[repeats]" indicates the location of the TALE repeat unit array (full repeats plus the C-terminal half repeat), and the wavy underlined portion shows the sequence of the KRAB domain:
- AERGGVTAVEAVHAWRNALTGAPLN [repeats ] GGRPALESIVAQLSRPDPALAALTNDHLVALACLGGRP LP AVKKGLPHAPALIKRTHRRIPERTSHRVaGSGMDAKSLTAWSRTLVTFKDVFVDFTREEWKLLDTAQQIVYRNVM
- TALE code NI for A, HD for C, NN for G (NK in half repeat), NG for T.
- the protein is designed to bind the sense (5 '-3') strand of the DNA, while in others, the TALE TF is designed to bind to the anti-sense (3 '-5') strand.
- This set of TALE TFs was designed to target the CAG repeats of the Htt gene.
- TALE DNA binding proteins often preferentially interact with a 'T' nucleotide base at the 5' end of the target, and so since the targets are CAG repeat regions, it can be predicted that the proteins that bind to the anti-sense DNA strand, and thus CTG repeat sequences with the base 'T' at the 5' 3nd of the target, might have better binding affinity and specificity and thus repressor activity.
- SBS# specificity for the Sense or Antisense strand is indicated (“S/A), as well as the target, the number of repeat units or RVDs and the type of C-terminus.
- S/A specificity for the Sense or Antisense strand is indicated
- the TALE TFs in the table were then tested for Htt repression in HD patient (CAG 20/41) derived fibroblasts, and the results are shown in Figure 15.
- the cells were transfected with either 1000, 100 or 10 ng of TALE-TF encoding mKNA.
- the results for each TALE TF assayed are shown in groups of three, representing the three transfected mRNA amounts. In each grouping, there are also three samples: the left bar indicates the total Htt expression, the middle bar indicates the expression from the CAG20 Htt allele, and the right bar indicates the expression from the CAG41 Htt allele.
