CRISPRoff Reversible Epigenome Editing Method Could Enable Safer, More Precise Therapeutics – GenomeWeb

NEW YORK As CRISPR researchers develop new and better ways to edit the genome while leaving as few unintended consequences as possible behind, a team led by scientists at the University of California, San Francisco and MIT has developed a method that would create completely reversible gene edits.

In a recent study in Cell, UCSF's Luke Gilbert, MIT's Jonathan Weissman, and their colleagues described their method, called CRISPRoff a programmable epigenome editor consisting of a single dead Cas9 fusion protein that establishes DNA methylation and repressive histone modifications. This transient CRISPRoff expression initiates highly specific repression of genes and DNA methylation that's maintained through cell division and differentiation of stem cells to neurons. In their experiments, they found that the epigenome editing was highly specific, with minimal off-target editing.

In order to reverse this effect, the researchers then engineered a switch they called CRISPRon, through which they used Cas9-mediated gene editing to inactivate DNMT1 the main DNA methylation maintenance enzyme in mammalian cells in cells where they had previously silenced specific genes. Post-DNMT1 knockout, 60 percent to 80 percent of cells demonstrated reactivated gene expression. Similarly, treatment of cells with a small-molecule inhibitor of DNMT1 showed reactivated expression of genes that had previously been silenced, demonstrating that depletion of DNA methylation was sufficient to reverse CRISPRoff-mediated gene silencing.

"If you want to fix a pathogenic mutation, then CRISPR is really enabling. But we felt that for many applications, you may not want to permanently mutate the genome," Gilbert said, explaining the method's genesis. "So, we were searching for ways to turn gene expression off or on, without manipulating the sequence of the genome and just manipulating the transcripts that are produced by a cell."

Medically, he noted, there could be many applications where patients might feel more comfortable with using genome editing if they know that their genes won't be permanently changed, in part based on the concept that gene therapy has already been in use for a variety of applications for more than a decade.

Gilbert further noted that while he, Weissman, and many other CRISPR researchers have been working with tools such as CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) that can downregulate gene expression rather than turning it off entirely, these tools are more awkward to work with from a therapeutic standpoint. While a regular CRISPR-Cas system uses a Cas nuclease to latch onto a gene a mutate it in some fashion to turn it off, CRISPRi uses deactivated Cas9, resulting in RNA-directed transcriptional control of the target region. In other words, it functions "almost like normal transcription factors within a cell, where you constitutively express proteins to target the gene, and then that turns the gene on or off," Gilbert explained. "One of the advantages of Cas9 is you can express it briefly and it'll make a change to the genome that's permanent, and carry it out for a long time. We were looking for ways to basically leverage the strengths of Cas9's permanence and durability, but also leverage this epigenetic editing feature of not having to permanently mutate a gene."

The dead Cas9 works as a programmable DNA binding element rather than as a programmable nuclease, Weissman added.

In terms of therapeutic applications for human beings, the technology has a lot of possible uses, the researchers believe. Before there was an Ebola vaccine, for example, they were working on CRISPRoff as a way to confer programable immunity for anyone who might be affected by the disease.

"If you have a virus where you know the receptor, you could use CRISPRoff to turn gene expression off," Gilbert said. For Ebola that receptor is a protein called NPC1. "We know if you turn NPC1 off in the liver, you're immune to Ebola. But you don't want to permanently mutate NPC1 because you cause cholesterol processing defects and lysosomal storage disorder phenotypes," he added. The idea they had, therefore, was to deliver CRISPRoff to the liver of healthcare workers traveling to Ebola hotspots so that they'd be completely immune to the disease while working with patients.

"And when they left the Ebola hotspot, to avoid detrimental effects of mutating or permanently silencing NPC1, then you could redeliver CRISPRon to restore gene expression and therefore not have any detrimental phenotypes from permanently losing that gene function," Gilbert added.

He further noted that the technology could even be used to modulate pain response. If someone were planning to have surgery, or recovering from an injury, CRISPRoff could be administered to shut down pain receptors for a short time. Once the patient recovered, the pain receptors could be turned back on. It would also help people avoid opioid pain killers.

Another example, according to Weissman, would be in the area of oncology. Cancer studies often reveal the presence of genes or gene mutations that lead to resistance to chemotherapy or radiotherapy. CRISPR is now being considered as a possible addition to some late-stage cancer patients' therapies as a way to knock out resistance genes and reawaken therapeutic response.

In May 2019, Christiana Care's Health System's Gene Editing Institute was preparing to file an investigational new drug application with the US Food and Drug Administration for a clinical trial protocol that would use CRISPR genome editing to improve the efficacy of chemotherapy for KRAS-positive non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. The protocol involved using CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing to knock down NRF2 in order to render patients more sensitive to chemotherapeutic agents.

Under a scenario using CRISPRoff, that gene's expression may only be off for the time it takes to administer the necessary cancer treatment. "You can imagine turning on or off genes in your intestine or in your blood stem cells," Weissman said. "The cells are more sensitive to radiation. But then after you have the radiotherapy, [the cells could return] to normal states so you don't have to worry about the long-term consequences of turning off the gene."

Weissman noted there may be some instances where CRISPRon isn't needed to turn gene expression back on. While conducting their experiments, the researchers noted that the gene silencing in certain loci would decay over a period of days or weeks, depending on the cell cycle turnover rate.

"If that can be tuned, we can now come in [with] one type of treatment and over the period of, say, weeks or months, it would naturally restore and you don't have to come in with the second," Weissman said.

That rate of decay would depend on the tissue in question and the dynamics of tissue turnover "will dictate how long these program changes last," Gilbert added. "In post-mitotic cells like muscle or neuron, these methyl marks in non-replicating cells may last for years and years. So, it depends on the cell type."

There are still many elements to CRISPRoff that have to be worked out and refined before it can be used in the clinic. As with any CRISPR system meant to be used as a therapy, delivery into the right cells at the right time is currently the principal challenge, Gilbert said. The researchers are also working on making the CRISPRoff complex smaller, and capable of targeting more than one loci at once, Weissman added.

But there's already been clear interest in commercializing the technology, he said. Both he and Gilbert, as well as a few other researchers who authored the paper, have already filed for patents on CRISPRoff and CRISPRon.

Indeed, Weissman said, the technology could have applications in cell therapy, and could even aid in the development of so-called off-the-shelf allogeneic CAR-T cells. The current procedure for making CAR Ts is expensive and time-consuming because it involves harvesting an individual's cells, engineering them, and re-administering them as a treatment. As of now, allogeneic CAR Ts could cause life-threatening graft-versus-host disease, and could be rejected by the host immune system.

Using CRISPRoff, however, Weissman envisions being able to edit allogeneic CAR Ts in ways that would camouflage them from an individual's immune system, while also adding safety controls that would allow a physician to turn the CAR Ts off, if needed. "It could make it a much more accessible treatment," he said. "You could have a safer and more universal cell therapy, and you can then do much more complicated engineering because you only have to do it once for many patients, as opposed to trying to do this complicated engineering in a bespoke way for each patient."

Overall, he added, what the study really shows is that cutting DNA and then repairing it is quite difficult. And while researchers have gotten better at avoiding off-target effects, so-called on-target off-targets unintended consequences of on-targets editing such as DNA damage response, large indels, and even chromothripsis, can still do damage to the genome.

"So, when you don't have to do that, therapeutically, there are lot of advantages," Weissman said. "Things like base editor and prime editor are examples of this, and we see CRISPRoff as a complement to this, which allows you to do epigenome editing from beginning to end, and to do it in a clean and controlled way."

FTC continues to crack down on companies peddling fake COVID treatments and cures – HamletHub

As part of our ongoing efforts to protect you from sellers of scam COVID-19 treatments, the FTC has sent 30 warning letters to companies that claimed their products can prevent, treat, or cure COVID-19. These letters gave the sellers 48 hours to notify the FTC of the specific actions they have taken to address the agencys concerns. Companies failing to make adequate corrections could have faced lawsuits under the 2020 COVID-19 Consumer Protection Act. Not only does the law make it illegal to deceptively market products that claim to prevent, treat, or cure COVID-19, it also lets the FTC seek financial penalties. The good news: as a result of these letters, all the companies have stopped making the false or deceptive claims.

The companies involved peddle everything from chiropractic adjustments, exercise sessions, nasal mists and rinses, vitamins, supplements, and extracts. Theres a slew of therapies with impressive names like peptide, oxidative, stem cell, ozone, intravenous vitamin, and infrared sauna therapy. All of these products and treatments have one thing in common: there is no evidence as required by law that they work against the Coronavirus.

When it comes to fighting COVID-19 and spotting unsupported treatment claims, follow these tips:

ThermoGenesis : The History of Cell and Gene Therapy – marketscreener.com

Cell and gene therapies are overlapping fields of research and treatments. While both aim to treat and potentially cure diseases, they have slightly differing approaches and have different historical backgrounds. Due to growing interest surrounding this field, the general public still has much to learn and understand about each of these potentially life-saving therapies.

Below, we provide a general overview and brief historical context for each type of therapy.

Cell therapyis the process of replacing damaged or dysfunctional cells with new, healthy ones by transferring live cells into a patient. These can be autologous (also known as self-to-self, using cells from the patient receiving the treatment) or allogeneic (using cells from a donor for the treatment). While this field of treatment has recently begun to expand, some forms of cell therapy like the cancer-treating hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(HSCT) have been in practice for decades.

While many people have heard of bone marrow transplants, few realize that this procedure is a stem cell therapy. While stem cells can be derived from many sources, such as umbilical cord blood and mobilized peripheral blood, bone marrow derived stem cell therapy is the most commonly used today and has been for more than 50 years.

The first transfusion of human bone marrow was given to a patient with aplastic anemia in 1939. After World War II researchers diligently worked to restore bone marrow function in aplasia patients caused by exposure to radiation produced by the atomic bomb. After a decade of work they were able to show, in a mouse model, that aplasia could be overcome by bone marrow treatment.

The first allogeneic HSCT, which led the way to current protocols, was pioneered by E. Donnall Thomas and his team at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and reported in the New England Journal of Medicine in 1957. In this study six patients were treated with radiation and chemotherapy and then received intravenous infusion of bone marrow rich stem cells from a normal donor to reestablish the damaged or defective cells. Since then the field has evolved and expanded worldwide. While almost half of HSCT are allogeneic, the majority of HSCT are autologous, the patient's own stem cells are used for treatment, which carries less risk to the patient.

In 1988, scientists discovered that they could derive stem cells from human embryos and grow the cells in a laboratory. These newly derived stem cells, referred to as embryonic stem cells (hESCs), were found to be pluripotent, meaning they can give rise to virtually any other type of cell in the body. This versatility allows hESCs cells to potentially regenerate or repair diseased tissue and organs. Two decades after they were discovered, treatments based on hESCs have been slow in coming because of controversy over their source and concerns that they could turn into tumours once implanted. Only recently, testing has begun as a treatment for two major diseases: heart failure and type 1 diabetes.

In 2006, researchers made a groundbreaking discovery by identifying conditions that would allow some cells to be 'reprogrammed' genetically. This new type of stem cell became known as induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Since this discovery, the field has expanded tremendously in the past two decades. Stem cell therapies have expanded in use and have been used to treat diseases such as type 1 diabetes, Parkinson's and even spinal cord injuries.

There has also been a growing focus on using other immune cells to treat cancer. Therapies such as CAR T-cellare dependent upon a patient's T-cells, which play a critical role in managing the immune response and killing cells affected by harmful pathogens. These cells are then reengineered to target and kill certain cancerous cells. Several CAR T-cell therapies have been FDA approved, with the first approval being given in 2017 for Yescarta and Kymriah, to be used for the treatment of B-cell leukemia in children and young adults.

Gene therapyis a process that modifies the expression of a gene or alters the biological process of living cells for therapeutic use. This process can take the form of replacing a disease-causing gene with a new, healthy one, inactivating the mutated gene, or introducing a new gene to help the patient's body fight a disease.

While the use of gene therapy to treat humans is fairly new, the science behind it has been used in science for decades. Farmers and geneticists have collaborated for years on crop improvement using cross pollination, genetic engineering and microinjection techniques to create stronger, more resilient crops.

The first human patient to be treated with gene therapy was a four-year old girlsuffering from severe combined immunodeficiencyin 1990. She received treatment for a congenital disease called adenosine deaminase (ADA). Since then, gene therapies have been used to treat diseases such as cancer, cystic fibrosis and hemophilia.In 2017, the FDA gave its first approval of a gene therapy called Luxturna, which is used to treat patients with established genetic vision loss that may result in blindness. Gene therapies are still being studied and developed, with over 1,000 clinical trialscurrently underway.

Durable B-ALL Control With Allogeneic Transplant After CAR T-Cell Therapy – Cancer Therapy Advisor

Children and young adults who underwent an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (alloHSCT) after achieving complete response with CD19 CAR T-cell therapy experienced durable B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) control, according to the results of a phase 1 trial (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01593696) published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.

Although a proportion of patients who undergo CAR T-cell therapy go on to receive alloHSCT, the study authors stated that The role for [alloHSCT] following CD19-CAR T-cell therapy to improve long-term outcomes in [children and young adults] has not been examined.

The phase 1 trial evaluated 50 children and young adults with B-ALL who received CD19.28 CAR T-cell therapy. The primary objective was to determine the maximum tolerated dose of CAR T cells, toxicity, and feasibility of generating CAR T cells in the study population. In addition, this analysis retrospectively evaluated the effect of alloHSCT on survival after CAR T-cell therapy.

At baseline, the median age was 13.5 years (range, 4.3-30.4), and 40 (80%) of the patients were male. The median number of prior regimens was 4 (range, 4.3-30.4); 22 (44%) patients had at least 1 prior HSCT, 2 (4%) had prior CD19-targeted therapy, and 5 (10%) of the patients had prior treatment with blinatumomab.

Complete response was achieved in 31 (62%) of the patients. Among these patients, 28 (90.3%) were negative for minimal residual disease. Higher rates of complete response were associated with primary refractory disease, fewer prior lines of therapy, M1 marrow, or fludarabine/cytarabine-based lymphodepletion. The median overall survival was 10.5 months (95% CI, 6.3-29.2) during a median follow-up of 4.8 years.

Of the 28 patients who achieved complete response, 21 (75%) proceeded to undergo consolidative alloHSCT. The median overall survival for these patients was 70.2 months (95% CI, 10.4-not estimable), with an event-free survival not yet reached. The rate of relapse after alloHSCT was 4.8% (95% CI, 0.3-20.3) at 12 months and 9.5% (95% CI, 1.5-26.8) at 24 months.

Any grade cytokine release syndrome (CRS) developed among 35 (70%) patients, with 9 (18%) experiencing grade 3 to 4 CRS. Of the 10 patients (20%) who developed neurotoxicity, 4 cases were severe. One cardiac arrest occurred during CRS. All patients with CRS, neurotoxicity, and cardiac arrest recovered.

The authors concluded that CD19.28 CAR T cells followed by a consolidative alloHSCT can provide long-term durable disease control in [children and young adults] with relapsed or refractory B-ALL.

Codeveloped with Vertex Pharmaceuticals, CRISPR Therapeutics CTX001 is an autologous CRISPR/Cas9 gene-edited hematopoietic stem cell therapy targeting patients suffering from -thalassemia and sickle cell disease.

Production of the candidate involves collecting a patients own blood stem cells via mobilization and apheresis and editing them with CRISPR/Cas9 to increase fetal hemoglobin (HbF) expression. When the edited cells are returned to the patient, they are expected to generate red blood cells that have increased levels of HbF, which may reduce or eliminate patients symptoms.

The firm recently presented positive Phase I/II data for the autologous candidate and now has an eye on scaling-up production as it progresses through the clinic.

We dont believe we will need to make any major modifications to the manufacturing process that we started with, to take it into commercialization, and thats a huge benefit, Lawrence Klein, CRISPRs COO said at the 20th Annual Needham Virtual Healthcare Conference this week. And thats just by virtue of the fact that our initial manufacturing process led to the type of efficacy that we saw, and we purpose built that process to enable commercial scale.

Therefore, to increase production the firm needs to add more suites: scaling-out, rather then scaling-up.

You can basically just clone those suites, and the more suites you have the more throughput you have, he told delegates. Its not like if youre moving from a 10-liter reactor to a 10,000-liter reactor [when] things change in terms of the biochemistry of the process.

To augment production adding people and facility and instrumentation the firm uses undisclosed contract manufacturing organizations (CMO).

When we started the trial, we had one, said Klein. Weve added CMOs since that point, different facilities and we intend to continue doing that to enable broader scale in different geographies.

The CMOs that weve chosen, theyre scalable. And you can see the major CMOs are making heavy investments in this space of gene and cell therapy. And so, we think well be able to scale that capacity as we move forward into commercialization.

CRISPR Therapeutics is also building a cell therapy manufacturing facility in Framingham, Massachusetts being designed to provide GMP manufacturing in compliance with US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and European Medicines Agency (EMA) regulations and guidelines.

NeoProgen, Inc. Receives First Granted Patent for Method to Treat Cardiac Conditions using Neonatal Heart-derived Medicinal Signaling Cells (nMSCs)…

BALTIMORE--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- NeoProgen, Inc., a pre-clinical stage company developing an exosome-based product from human neonatal heart-derived Medicinal Signaling Cells (nMSCs) for tissue repair and regeneration for the treatment of heart failure (HF) and other inflammatory diseases, announced that it has received a patent from the United States Patent Office Patent No.: US 10.967,007 B2 Cardiac Stem Cells for Cardiac Repair. The innovation was developed by Dr. Sunjay Kaushal, a pediatric cardiac surgeon, while he was at the University of Maryland, Baltimore and NeoProgen is the exclusive licensee of the newly issued patent.

The patent claims describe methods for treating cardiac conditions with an exosome-based therapy (conditioned media) derived from neonatal cardiac stem cells. The unique approach that the company has taken to isolating the cells, culturing nMSCs, characterizing them by their secretome and exosome production, and improving cardiac function by administering allogeneic nMSCs to adults and children represents an exciting therapy for heart failure and other inflammatory diseases.

As a Cardiovascular-Thoracic surgeon, my goal is to help patients by performing heart transplantations and heart surgeries, in many cases to newborn babies that need these procedures to correct life-threatening congenital problems. For many years I have had the opportunity to study stem cells that are present in the very young heart to treat chronic diseases seen in adults, having been involved as a Principal Investigator in multiple stem cell trials. Comparative studies analyzing multiple stem cell types support the notion that nMSCs and their secretomes/exosomes derived from neonatal heart tissue covered under this patent are the most regenerative stem cell type discovered, said Dr. Sunjay Kaushal, MD, PhD, Division Head Cardiovascular Thoracic Surgery at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Childrens Hospital of Chicago and founder of NeoProgen. Dr. Kaushal explained, Stem cell ingredients are key to their success in clinical trials. nMSCs are very special cells with a great regenerative potential and prolific abilities. The innate abilities of secretomes/exosomes from these cells set us apart from other stem cell types used in clinical trials. Its my hope that in the future pediatric and adult patients will not only benefit from the surgeries but also by stem cell therapies like this one to improve their outcomes and quality of life.

This is a major milestone for NeoProgen, said Bill Niland, the companys CEO who has successfully founded and exited three previous healthcare companies. In addition to expanding our patent portfolio, this patent gives us coverage of our #1 asset: a secretome/exosome product that we expect to get into a phase 1 trial this year for Ischemic Cardiomyopathy, where we have excellent pre-clinical results.

The company has engaged BioPharma Capital to exclusively represent them in actively raising capital and in discussions with potential strategic partners. Dan Ross, Managing Partner of BioPharma Capital added, NeoProgen stands out amongst its peers as harnessing a uniquely potent source for stem cells that, along with this newly issued patent, addresses both of the challenges that have historically beleaguered the stem cell therapy space and continue to do so today: manufacturing/supply and IP. We are pleased to be working with NeoProgen and look forward to doing our small part in helping this promising treatment make its way towards helping patients around the world.

CRISPR gene therapy for sickle cell disease approved by the FDA – BioNews

12 April 2021

A clinical trial for a new gene therapy approach to treat sickle cell disease has been approved to proceed by the US Food and Drug Administration.

Patients with sickle cell disease have a mutation in the beta-haemoglobin gene, causing them to produce misshapen red blood cells that can block blood vessels leading to severe pain, anaemia and potentially life-threatening complications, such as organ damage and strokes.Currently, the only cureis a stem cell transplant from a healthy donor, but in the newly-approved trial, scientists from the University of California will use CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing to replace the faulty gene with a functional version.

'Gene therapy and genome editing allow each patient to serve as their own stem cell donor,' said Professor Donald Kohn, from the Broad Stem Cell Research Centre at the University of California Los Angeles, one of the clinical trial leaders. 'In theory, these approaches should be much safer than a transplant from another person and could become universally available because they eliminate the need to find the needle in a haystack that is a matched stem cell donor.'

In the trial, blood stem cells will be harvested from the patients and grown in the lab. CRISPR/Cas9 will be used to 'cut and replace' a sequence of DNA containing the mutation with a healthy copy. The edited cells will then be returned to the patient's body in the same way they would be if the patient was receiving donor stem cells.

'The goal of this form of genome editing therapy is to correct the mutation in enough stem cells so the resulting blood in circulation has corrected red blood cells,' said Dr Mark Walters, from the University of California San Francisco Benioff Children's Hospital, another of the clinical trial leaders.

The study will take place over four years, and include six adults and three adolescents with severe sickle cell disease, testing both safety and efficacy.

The treatment does have risks: the patientswill need to have high dose chemotherapy, to kill allremaining bloodstem cells before the modified stem cells are put back. This is also necessary before receiving donor stem cells and can cause severe side effects as the patient's immune system is temporarily disabled.

A similar trial, using CRISPR/Cas9 to activate bone marrow stem cells to produce an alternative version of haemoglobin, rather than correcting the faulty version, has recently shown promising results in a patient with sickle cell disease (see BioNews 1052).
