Abstract

Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) is a rare premature ageing disorder caused by a point mutation in the LMNA gene (LMNA c.1824 C > T), resulting in the production of a detrimental protein called progerin. Adenine base editors recently emerged with a promising potential for HGPS gene therapy. However adeno-associated viral vector systems currently used in gene editing raise concerns, and the long-term effects of heterogeneous mutation correction in highly proliferative tissues like the skin are unknown. Here we use a non-integrative transient lentiviral vector system, expressing an adenine base editor to correct the HGPS mutation in the skin of HGPS mice. Transient adenine base editor expression corrected the mutation in 20.8-24.1% of the skin cells. Four weeks post delivery, the HGPS skin phenotype was improved and clusters of progerin-negative keratinocytes were detected, indicating that the mutation was corrected in both progenitor and differentiated skin cells. These results demonstrate that transient non-integrative viral vector mediated adenine base editor expression is a plausible approach for future gene-editing therapies.
