Autologous Gene and Cell Therapy Provides Safe and Long-Term Curative Therapy in A Large Pig Model of Hereditary Tyrosinemia Type 1

Abstract: Orthotopic liver transplantation remains the only curative therapy for inborn errors of metabolism. Given the tremendous success for primary immunodeficiencies using ex-vivo gene therapy with lentiviral vectors, there is great interest in developing similar curative therapies for metabolic liver diseases. We have previously generated a pig model of hereditary tyrosinemia type 1 (HT1), an autosomal recessive disorder caused by deficiency of fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase (FAH). Using this model, we have demonstr… Show more

“…25 In one longterm pig from our ex vivo study, no tumorigenicity was present in the liver or elsewhere after 3 years post-transplant. 26 Finally, the use of a liver-specific promoter further focusses any potential for genotoxicity from transactivation to hepatocytes, where screening for tumorigenesis is already part of the clinical management of human disease via frequent imaging.…”

“…HT1 has been experimentally targeted by ex vivo gene delivery approaches where hepatocytes are collected from a syngeneic donor (mouse) [ 41 ] or via laparoscopic partial resection of the liver in the actual test animal (pig) [ 29 , 42 ]. These hepatocytes are cultured and transduced with LV vectors carrying a wildtype FAH to rescue normal function and cure the disease [ 40 ].…”

“…These hepatocytes are cultured and transduced with LV vectors carrying a wildtype FAH to rescue normal function and cure the disease [ 40 ]. This method has demonstrated significant efficacy in mouse and pig models of HT1 without increasing the potential for HCC in pigs [ 29 , 37 ]. Ex vivo AAV-based CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing has successfully been achieved in HT1 mouse [ 30 , 32 ].…”

“…These hepatocytes were re-transplanted to the same pigs after using ex vivo gene therapy with lentiviral vectors, and the short- and long-term results showed the stable curative efficacy of genetically modified hepatocytes. 61 Nevertheless, the effectiveness and safety of genetically corrected hepatocytes as well as the long-term metabolic consequences still require further confirmation before their application in clinical practice. In contrast, allogeneic hepatocyte transplantation may be more reliable in clinical practice.…”
