We demonstrate CRISPR-Cas9-mediated correction of a Fah mutation in hepatocytes in a mouse model of the human disease hereditary tyrosinemia. Delivery of components of the CRISPR-Cas9 system by hydrodynamic injection resulted in initial expression of the wild-type Fah protein in ∼1/250 liver cells. Expansion of Fah-positive hepatocytes rescued the body weight loss phenotype. Our study indicates that CRISPR-Cas9-mediated genome editing is possible in adult animals and has potential for correction of human genetic diseases.
我们展示了 CRISPR-Cas9 介导的在遗传性酪氨酸血症的小鼠模型中肝细胞中 Fah 突变的纠正。通过水力注射递送 CRISPR-Cas9 系统的组件导致野生型 Fah 蛋白在约 1/250 的肝细胞中最初表达。Fah 阳性肝细胞的扩增挽救了体重减轻表型。我们的研究表明,CRISPR-Cas9 介导的基因组编辑在成年动物中是可行的,并具有纠正人类遗传疾病的潜力。
