摘要

Intracellular delivery of protein and RNA therapeutics represents a major challenge. Here, we develop highly potent engineered extracellular vesicles (EVs) by incorporating bio-inspired attributes required for effective delivery. These comprise an engineered mini-intein protein with self-cleavage activity for active cargo loading and release, and fusogenic VSV-G protein for endosomal escape. Combining these components allows high efficiency recombination and genome editing in vitro following EV-mediated delivery of Cre recombinase and Cas9/sgRNA RNP cargoes, respectively. In vivo, infusion of a single dose Cre loaded EVs into the lateral ventricle in brain of Cre-LoxP R26-LSL-tdTomato reporter mice results in greater than 40% and 30% recombined cells in hippocampus and cortex respectively. In addition, we demonstrate therapeutic potential of this platform by showing inhibition of LPS-induced systemic inflammation via delivery of a super-repressor of NF-ĸB activity. Our data establish these engineered EVs as a platform for effective delivery of multimodal therapeutic cargoes, including for efficient genome editing.
