Abstract
The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-associated (Cas) system has considerable therapeutic potential for use in treating a wide range of intractable genetic and infectious diseases including hepatitis B virus (HBV) infections. While non-viral delivery technologies for the CRISPR/Cas system are expected to have clinical applications, difficulties associated with the clinically relevant synthesis of formulations and the poor efficiency of delivery severely hinder therapeutic genome editing. We report herein on the production of a lipid nanoparticle (LNP)-based CRISPR/Cas ribonucleoprotein (RNP) delivery nanoplatform synthesized using a clinically relevant mixer-equipped microfluidic device. DNA cleavage activity and the aggregation of Cas enzymes was completely avoided under the optimized synthetic conditions. The optimized formulation, which was identified through 2 steps of design of experiments, exhibited excellent gene disruption (up to 97%) and base substitution (up to 23%) without any apparent cytotoxicity. The addition of negative charges to the RNPs by complexing single-stranded oligonucleotide (ssON) significantly enhanced the delivery of both Cas9 and Cpf1 RNPs. The optimized formulation significantly suppressed both HBV DNA and covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) in HBV-infected human liver cells compared to adeno-associated virus type 2 (AAV2). These findings represent a significant contribution to the development of CRISPR/Cas RNP delivery technology and its practical applications in genome editing therapy.
