Alpha-1 antitrypsin (A1AT) deficiency (AATD) is caused by a mutation in the SERPINA1 gene (PiZ allele), where misfolded A1AT liver accumulation leads to liver damage, and A1AT deficiency in the lungs results in emphysema due to unregulated neutrophil elastase activity. Base editing offers a potential cure for A1AT; however, effective treatment is hindered by the absence of dual-target delivery systems that can target key tissues. We developed Dual Selective ORgan-Targeting lipid nanoparticles (SORT LNPs) to deliver base editors to the liver and lungs. Dual SORT LNPs correct the PiZ mutation, achieving 40% correction editing in liver cells and 10% in lung AT2 cells. The liver maintains stable editing for 32 weeks, reducing Z-A1AT levels by over 80% and restoring a normal liver phenotype. In parallel, 89% neutrophil elastase inhibition is achieved in lung bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. Taken together, Dual SORT LNP therapy offers a promising approach for long-lasting genome correction for multi-organ diseases such as AATD.
α-1抗胰蛋白酶(A1AT)缺乏症(AATD)由SERPINA1基因(PiZ等位基因)的突变引起,错误折叠的A1AT在肝脏中蓄积会导致肝损伤,而肺部的A1AT缺乏会因中性粒细胞弹性蛋白酶活性不受调控而导致肺气肿。碱基编辑为A1AT提供了一种潜在的治疗方法;然而,由于缺乏能够靶向关键组织的双靶点递送系统,有效的治疗受到阻碍。我们开发了双选择性器官靶向脂质纳米颗粒(SORT LNPs),以将碱基编辑器递送至肝脏和肺部。双SORT LNPs纠正了PiZ突变,在肝细胞中实现了40%的校正编辑,在肺AT2细胞中实现了10%的校正编辑。肝脏保持32周的稳定编辑,Z-A1AT水平降低超过80%,并恢复正常肝脏表型。与此同时,在肺支气管肺泡灌洗液中实现了89%的中性粒细胞弹性蛋白酶抑制。综上所述,双SORT LNP疗法为AATD等多器官疾病的持久基因组校正提供了一种有前景的方法。
