  • The rare, accelerated aging disease Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS) is commonly caused by a de novo c.1824 C>T point mutation of the LMNA gene that results in the protein progerin. The primary cause of death is a heart attack or stroke arising from atherosclerosis. A characteristic feature of HGPS arteries is loss of smooth muscle cells. The goal of this project was to assess whether base editing correction of human HGPS tissue engineered blood vessels (TEBVs) prevents the HGPS vascular phenotype and to identify the minimum fraction of edited smooth muscle cells needed to effect such changes, we transduced HGPS iPSCs with lentivirus containing ABE7.10max base editor. Endothelial cells (viECs) and smooth muscle cells (viSMCs) obtained by differentiation of iPSCs did not express progerin, and had double-stranded DNA breaks and reactive oxygen species to levels in healthy viSMCs and viECs. Editing restored a normal response to shear stress in edited viECs. Normal vasodilation and viSMC density were restored in TEBVs made with edited cells. When TEBVs were prepared with at least 50% edited smooth muscle cells, viSMC proliferation and myosin heavy chain levels significantly improved. Sequencing of TEBV cells after perfusion indicated an enrichment of edited cells after 5 weeks of perfusion when they comprised 50% of the initial number of cells in the TEBVs. Thus, base editing correction of a fraction of HGPS vascular cells improves human TEBV phenotype.

    Statistical analysis was performed using JMP Pro 14 (SAS). Data were analyzed using a one- or two-way ANOVA and post-hoc Tukey tests for pairwise comparisons. For time-dependent assays on the same sample, repeated measures ANOVA was used. Results were plotted using GraphPad Prism. Data are represented as mean ± SD with N = number of TEBVs or number of independent experiments for 2D cell culture experiments; p ≤ 0.05 was considered significant.     ... [Read More]
