Abstract
Genome editing has the potential to treat genetic diseases in a variety of tissues, including the lung. We have previously developed and validated a dual adeno-associated virus (AAV) CRISPR platform that supports effective editing in the airways of mice. To validate this delivery vehicle in a large animal model, we have shown that intratracheal instillation of CRISPR/Cas9 in AAV5 can edit a housekeeping gene or a disease-related gene in the lungs of young rhesus monkeys. We observed up to 8% editing of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) in lung lobes after single-dose administration. Single-nuclear RNA sequencing revealed that AAV5 transduces multiple cell types in the caudal lung lobes, including alveolar cells, macrophages, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, and B cells. These results demonstrate that AAV5 is efficient in the delivery of CRISPR/Cas9 in the lung lobes of young rhesus monkeys.
