    Abstract Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are an emerging vehicle for gene delivery that accommodate both nucleic acid and protein. Based on the experience of therapeutic liposomes, current LNPs have been developed based on the chemistry of lipids and RNA and on the biology of human disease. LNPs have been used for the development of Onpattro, an siRNA drug for transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis, in 2018. The subsequent outbreak of COVID-19 required a vaccine for its suppression. LNP-based vaccine production received much attention for this and resulted in great success. In this review, the essential technology of LNP gene delivery has been described according to the chemistry for LNP production and biology for its clinical application.

    Abstract RNA-based therapy has been an expanding area of clinical research since the COVID-19 outbreak. Often, its comparison has been made to DNA-based gene therapy, such as adeno-associated virus- and lentivirus-mediated therapy. These DNA-based therapies show persistent expression, with maximized therapeutic efficacy. However, accumulating data indicate that proper control of gene expression is occasionally required. For example, in cancer immunotherapy, cytokine response syndrome is detrimental for host animals, while excess activation of the immune system induces supraphysiological cytokines. RNA-based therapy seems to be a rather mild therapy, and it has room to fit unmet medical needs, whereas current DNA-based therapy has unclear issues. This review focused on RNA-based therapy for cancer immunotherapy, hematopoietic disorders, and inherited disorders, which have received attention for possible clinical applications.

    Abstract Mucopolysaccharidosis type II (MPS II) is a lysosomal storage disorder characterized by an accumulation of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), including heparan sulfate, in the body. Major manifestations involve the central nerve system (CNS), skeletal deformation, and visceral manifestations. About 30% of MPS II is linked with an attenuated type of disease subtype with visceral involvement. In contrast, 70% of MPS II is associated with a severe type of disease subtype with CNS manifestations that are caused by the human iduronate-2-sulfatase (IDS)-Pro86Leu (P86L) mutation, a common missense mutation in MPS II. In this study, we reported a novel Ids-P88L MPS II mouse model, an analogous mutation to human IDS-P86L. In this mouse model, a significant impairment of IDS enzyme activity in the blood with a short lifespan was observed. Consistently, the IDS enzyme activity of the body, as assessed in the liver, kidney, spleen, lung, and heart, was significantly impaired. Conversely, the level of GAG was elevated in the body. A putative biomarker with unestablished nature termed UA-HNAc(1S) (late retention time), one of two UA-HNAc(1S) species with late retention time on reversed-phase separation,is a recently reported MPS II-specific biomarker derived from heparan sulfate with uncharacterized mechanism. Thus, we asked whether this biomarker might be elevated in our mouse model. We found a significant accumulation of this biomarker in the liver, suggesting that hepatic formation could be predominant. Finally, to examine whether gene therapy could enhance IDS enzyme activity in this model, the efficacy of the nuclease-mediated genome correction system was tested. We found a marginal elevation of IDS enzyme activity in the treated group, raising the possibility that the effect of gene correction could be assessed in this mouse model. In conclusion, we established a novel Ids-P88L MPS II mouse model that consistently recapitulates the previously reported phenotype in several mouse models.

    Abstract Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) are specialized projection neurons that constitute part of the retina, and the death of RGCs causes various eye diseases, but the mechanism of RGC death is still unclear. Here, we induced cell death in human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived RGC-rich retinal tissues using hypoxia-reoxygenation in vitro. Flow cytometry, immunochemistry, and Western blotting showed the apoptosis and necrosis of RGCs under hypoxia-reoxygenation, and they were rescued by an apoptosis inhibitor but not by a necrosis inhibitor. This revealed that the cell death induced in our model was mainly due to apoptosis. To our knowledge, this is the first model to reproduce ischemia-reperfusion in hiPSC-derived RGCs. Thus, the efficacy of apoptosis inhibitors and neuroprotective agents can be evaluated using this model, bringing us closer to clinical applications.

    Abstract Leucine zipper-like transcriptional regulator 1 (LZTR1), a substrate adaptor of Cullin 3 (CUL3)-based E3 ubiquitin ligase, regulates proteostasis of the RAS subfamily. Mutations in LZTR1 have been identified in patients with several types of cancer. However, the role of LZTR1 in tumor metastasis and the target molecules of LZTR1, excluding the RAS subfamily, are not clearly understood. Here, we show that LZTR1 deficiency increases tumor growth and metastasis. In lung adenocarcinoma cells, LZTR1 deficiency induced the accumulation of the RAS subfamily and enhanced cell proliferation, invasion, and xenograft tumor growth. Multi-omics analysis to clarify the pathways related to tumor progression showed that MAPK signaling, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling-related gene ontology terms were enriched in LZTR1 knockout cells. Indeed, LZTR1 deficiency induced high expression of EMT markers under TGF-β1 treatment. Our search for novel substrates that interact with LZTR1 resulted in the discovery of a Kelch-like protein 12 (KLHL12), which is involved in collagen secretion. LZTR1 could inhibit KLHL12-mediated ubiquitination of SEC31A, a component of coat protein complex II (COPII), whereas LZTR1 deficiency promoted collagen secretion. LZTR1-RIT1 and LZTR1-KLHL12 worked independently regarding molecular interactions and did not directly interfere with each other. Further, we found that LZTR1 deficiency significantly increases lung metastasis and promotes ECM deposition around metastatic tumors. Since collagen-rich extracellular matrix act as pathways for migration and facilitate metastasis, increased expression of RAS and collagen deposition may exert synergistic or additive effects leading to tumor progression and metastasis. In conclusion, LZTR1 deficiency exerts high metastatic potential by enhancing sensitivity to EMT induction and promoting collagen secretion. The functional inhibition of KLHL12 by LZTR1 provides important evidence that LZTR1 may be a repressor of BTB-Kelch family members. These results provide clues to the mechanism of LZTR1-deficiency carcinogenesis.

    Abstract With the recent progress in genome-editing technologies, such as the CRISPR/Cas9 system, genetically modified animals carrying nucleotide substitutions or large chromosomal rearrangements can be produced rapidly and at low cost. Such genome-editing techniques have been applied in the generation of animal models, especially mice, for reproducing human disease mutations, such as single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) or large chromosomal rearrangements identified by genome-wide screening analyses. While application methods are under development for various complex mutations involving genome editing for mimicking human disease-causing mutations in mice, functional studies of mouse models carrying replicated human mutations are gradually being published. In this review, we discuss the recent progress in application methods of the CRISPR/Cas9 system, focusing on the production of mouse models of diseases.

    Abstract Sox9 plays an essential role in mammalian testis formation. It has been reported that gene expression in the testes is regulated by enhancers. Among them, mXYSRa/Enh13-which is located at far upstream of the transcription start site-plays a critical role, wherein its deletion causes complete male-to-female sex reversal in mice. It has been proposed that the binding sites (BSs) of SOX9 and SRY, the latter of which is the sex determining gene on the Y chromosome, are associated with mXYSRa/Enh13. They function as an enhancer, whereby the sequences are evolutionarily conserved and in vivo binding of SOX9 and SRY to mXYSRa/Enh13 has been demonstrated previously. However, their precise in vivo functions have not been examined to date. To this end, this study generated mice with substitutions on the SOX9 and SRY BSs to reveal their in vivo functions. Homozygous mutants of SOX9 and SRY BS were indistinguishable from XY males, whereas double mutants had small testes, suggesting that these functions are redundant and that there is another functional sequence on mXYSRa/Enh13, since mXYSRa/Enh13 deletion mice are XY females. In addition, the majority of hemizygous mice with substitutions in SOX9 BS and SRY BS were female and male, respectively, suggesting that SOX9 BS contributes more to SRY BS for mXYSRa/Enh13 to function. The additive effect of SOX9 and SRY via these BSs was verified using an in vitro assay. In conclusion, SOX9 BS and SRY BS function redundantly in vivo, and at least one more functional sequence should exist in mXYSRa/Enh13.
