.
of familial dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM).
Many RBM20 mutations are clustered within an arginine/serine-rich (RS-rich) domain responsible for mediating nuclear localization
.
These mutations lead to RBM20 mislocalization, the formation of abnormal ribonucleoprotein (RNP) particles in the cytoplasm of cardiomyocytes, and abnormal selective splicing of cardiac genes, leading to dilated cardiomyopathy
.
in RNA-binding motif protein 20 (RBM20).
In vitro experiments have shown that
R634Q mutation of RBM20 with 92% A-to-G editing efficiency, while PE corrects the p.
R636S mutation
of RBM20 with 40% A-to-C editing efficiency.
The corrected iPS cell-derived cardiomyocytes exhibited normal selective splicing, showed normal myoganglion structure, and restored normal RBM20 nuclear localization, eliminating abnormal RNP granule formation
.
.
Homozygous (R636Q/R636Q) mice exhibited severe cardiac dysfunction, heart failure, and premature death
.
Systemic delivery of ABE components containing ABEmax-VRQR-SpCas9 and uniguide RNA to these mice by adeno-associated virus serotype 9 showed that gene-editing treatment mice evaluated by echocardiogram restored cardiac function and extended lifespan
.
RNA sequencing analysis showed that ABE correction saved cardiac transcription profiles
of R636Q/R636Q mice compared to abnormal gene expression in untreated R636Q/R636Q mice.
These findings demonstrate the potential
to precisely correct genetic mutations as a promising treatment for DCM.
for treating dilated cardiomyopathy.
