摘要

The innovative clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) associated nuclease 9 (Cas9) gene editing technique may represent a suitable therapeutic opportunity for the treatment of inherited diseases such as Wilson disease (WD). This monogenetic liver disease is based on a mutation of the ATP7B gene and leads to a functional deterioration in copper (Cu) excretion. Excess Cu accumulations in organs such as the liver and brain lead to severe cytotoxicity, followed by acute or chronic liver failure and/or neurological symptoms, and even death, which makes cellular Cu excretion indispensable for any potential WD therapy, e.g., gene therapy. A life-long treatment with zinc or chelators such as D-penicillamine may improve the course of the disease, but serious side effects have been observed in a significant portion of patients. In this study, isolated urinary epithelial cells from a WD patient carrying the ATP7B H1069Q mutation were reprogrammed into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Using the CRISPR/Cas9 technology, ATP7B H1069Q was corrected by the additional use of single-stranded oligo DNA nucleotides (ssODNs). After differentiation into hepatocyte-like cells (HLCs), a high resistance to Cu was observed, plus a recovery of ATP7B trafficking. This is the first study to confirm that CRISPR/Cas9-mediated correction of the ATP7B point mutation H1069Q is possible and could open new possibilities for future applications.
