Adeno-associated virus (AAV) possesses unique features that makes it attractive as a vector for delivering foreign DNA into cells for the purposes of gene therapy. For example: AAV infection of cells in culture is non-cytopathic, and natural infection of humans and other animals is silent. Further, because the signals directing AAV replication, genome encapsidation and integration are contained within the inverted terminal repeats (ITRs) of the AAV genome, essentially all of the internal 4.7 kb of the AAV genome (encoding the replication and structural capsid proteins, rep-cap) can be replaced with heterologous nucleic acid sequences, such as a transgene for effecting gene therapy.
Recombinant AAV (rAAV) gene therapy vectors typically consist of a recombinant AAV genome comprising a gene therapy transgene, contained within an AAV capsid. The AAV capsid, which is formed by an assembly of 60 AAV capsid proteins, interacts with the cell surface of target cells and determines the tropism and transduction efficiency of rAAV. For tissue-specific genetic diseases, it would be highly advantageous to have rAAVs that could specifically and efficiently target the tissues in need of gene therapy.
Accordingly, there is a need in the art for tissue specific AAV capsids for use in gene therapy applications.

As used herein, the term “AAV” is a standard abbreviation for adeno-associated virus.
As used herein, the term “parental capsid protein” refers to an AAV capsid protein into which a peptide is inserted. A parental capsid protein can be a naturally occurring AAV capsid protein (e.g., of any clade or clone described in Bello et al. Sci. Rep. 2014 4 (6644), 1-11. doi: 10.1038/srep06644 or Gao et al., J Virol. 2004 June; 78 (12): 6381-6388. doi: 10.1128/JVI.78.12.6381-6388.2004) or a non-naturally occurring AAV capsid protein. Suitable non-naturally occurring AAV capsid proteins include, without limitation, chimeric capsid proteins and capsid proteins engineered to contain one or more amino acid insertion, deletion, or substitution relative to a naturally occurring AAV capsid protein.
As used herein, the term “recombinant adeno-associated virus” or “rAAV” refers to an AAV comprising a genome lacking functional rep and cap genes.
As used herein, the term “cap gene” refers to a nucleic acid sequence that encodes a capsid protein. For AAV, the capsid protein may be VP1, VP2, or VP3. VP1, VP2, and/or VP3 capsid proteins assemble into a capsid that surrounds the rAAV genome.
As used herein, the term “rep gene” refers to the nucleic acid sequences that encode the non-structural proteins (e.g., rep78, rep68, rep52, and rep40) required for the replication and production of an AAV.
As used herein, the term “loop IV” refers to the amino acids in an AAV capsid protein corresponding to amino acids 434-466 of SEQ ID NO: 10 or 435-467 of SEQ ID NO: 11. or the corresponding amino acid of a different parental capsid protein. In an embodiment, amino acid 444 of SEQ ID NO: 11 corresponds with amino acid 451 of an AAV2 capsid, amino acid 443 of an AAV5 capsid, or amino acid 444 of an AAV9 capsid.
As used herein, the term “loop VIII” refers to the amino acids in an AAV capsid protein corresponding to amino acids 563-592 of SEQ ID NO: 10 or 564-593 of SEQ ID NO: 11. or the corresponding amino acid of a different parental capsid protein.
As used herein, the term “rAAV genome” refers to a nucleic acid molecule (e.g., DNA and/or RNA) comprising the genome sequence of an rAAV. The skilled artisan will appreciate that where an rAAV genome comprises a transgene (e.g., an antibody heavy chain or light chain coding sequence operably linked to a transcriptional regulatory element), the rAAV genome can be in the sense or antisense orientation relative to the direction of transcription of the transgene.
As used herein, an “isolated polynucleotide” refers to a polynucleotide that has been separated from one or more nucleic acid molecules present in the natural source of the polynucleotide.
As used herein, a “vector” refers to a nucleic acid molecule that is a vehicle for introducing a nucleic acid molecule (e.g., a polynucleotide disclosed herein) into a cell.
As used herein, an “expression vector” refers to a vector comprising transcriptional regulatory elements operably linked to a gene of interest (e.g., a polynucleotide disclosed herein) that facilitate the expression of the gene of interest in a cell and/or a cell free expression system.
As used herein, the term “transgene” refers to a non-AAV nucleic acid sequence that encodes a polypeptide (e.g., an antibody or scFv) or non-coding RNA (e.g., an miRNA, shRNA, siRNA, antisense RNA, gRNA, antagomir, miRNA sponge, RNA aptazyme, or RNA aptamer).
As used herein, the term “transcriptional regulatory element” or “TRE” refers to a cis-acting nucleotide sequence, for example, a DNA sequence, that regulates (e.g., controls, increases, or reduces) transcription of an operably linked nucleotide sequence by an RNA polymerase to form an RNA molecule. A TRE may comprise one or more promoter elements and/or enhancer elements. A skilled artisan would appreciate that the promoter and enhancer elements in a gene may be close in location, and the term “promoter” may refer to a sequence comprising a promoter element and an enhancer element. Thus, the term “promoter” does not exclude an enhancer element in the sequence. The promoter and enhancer elements do not need to be derived from the same gene or species, and the sequence of each promoter or enhancer element may be either identical or substantially identical to the corresponding endogenous sequence in the genome.
As used herein, the term “operably linked” is used to describe the connection between a TRE and a polynucleotide sequence (e.g., a transgene disclosed herein) to be transcribed. Typically, gene expression is placed under the control of a TRE comprising one or more promoter and/or enhancer elements. The transgene is “operably linked” to the TRE if the transcription of the transgene is controlled or influenced by the TRE. The promoter and enhancer elements of the TRE may be in any orientation and/or distance from the transgene, as long as the desired transcriptional activity is obtained. In an embodiment, the TRE is upstream from the transgene.
As used herein, the “percentage identity” between two nucleotide sequences or between two amino acid sequences is calculated by multiplying the number of matches between the pair of aligned sequences by 100, and dividing by the length of the aligned region, including internal gaps. Identity scoring only counts perfect matches and does not consider the degree of similarity of amino acids to one another. When a sequence is described herein as being a certain percentage identical to a reference sequence, the percentage identity to the reference sequence is determined across the full length of the reference sequence.
As used herein, the term “effective amount” in the context of the administration of an AAV to a subject refers to the amount of the AAV that achieves a desired prophylactic or therapeutic effect.

In an embodiment, the amino acid sequence of the recombinant AAV capsid protein consists of an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 37-59.
In an aspect, provided herein is an isolated polynucleotide encoding a recombinant AAV capsid protein disclosed herein.
In an embodiment, the polynucleotide is optimized, e.g., by codon/RNA optimization, replacement with heterologous signal sequences, and/or elimination of mRNA instability elements. Methods to generate optimized polynucleotides for recombinant expression by introducing codon changes and/or eliminating inhibitory regions in the mRNA can be carried out by adapting the optimization methods described in, e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,965,726; 6,174,666; 6,291,664; 6,414,132; and 6,794,498, accordingly, all of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entireties. For example, potential splice sites and instability elements (e.g., A/T or A/U rich elements) within the RNA can be mutated without altering the amino acids encoded by the nucleic acid sequences to increase stability of the RNA for recombinant expression. The alterations utilize the degeneracy of the genetic code, e.g., using an alternative codon for an identical amino acid. In an embodiment, it can be desirable to alter one or more codons to encode a conservative mutation, e.g., a similar amino acid with similar chemical structure and properties and/or function as the original amino acid. Such methods can increase expression of the encoded capsid protein relative to the expression of the capsid encoded by polynucleotides that have not been optimized.
In an aspect, provided herein is a vector comprising a polynucleotide disclosed herein. Suitable vectors, include, without limitation, plasmids, viruses, cosmids, artificial chromosomes, linear DNA, and mRNA. In an embodiment, the vector is a plasmid or a viral vector. In an embodiment, the vector is a retrovirus vector, a herpes virus vector, a baculovirus vector, or an adenovirus vector. In an embodiment, the vector is an expression vector.
Vectors (e.g., expression vectors) can be introduced into cells (using any techniques known in the art) for propagation of the vector and/or for expression of an AAV capsid protein encoded by the vector. Accordingly, in another aspect, the instant disclosure provides a recombinant cell comprising a polynucleotide or a vector (e.g., an expression vector) disclosed herein. And further, in another aspect, the instant disclosure provides a method of producing an AAV capsid protein, the method comprising culturing the recombinant cell under conditions whereby the polynucleotide is expressed, and the capsid is produced.
A variety of host cells and expression vector systems can be utilized to express the capsid proteins described herein. In these expression systems, the coding sequences of interest can be produced and subsequently purified. These expression systems also represent cells which can, when transformed or transfected with the appropriate nucleotide coding sequences, express a capsid protein described herein in situ. These include but are not limited to microorganisms such as bacteria (e.g., E. coli and B. subtilis) transformed with, e.g., recombinant bacteriophage DNA, plasmid DNA or cosmid DNA expression vectors containing capsid protein coding sequences; yeast (e.g., Saccharomyces Pichia) transformed with, e.g., recombinant yeast expression vectors containing capsid protein coding sequences; insect cell systems infected with, e.g., recombinant virus expression vectors (e.g., baculovirus) containing capsid protein coding sequences; plant cell systems (e.g., green algae such as Chlamydomonas reinhardtii) infected with, e.g., recombinant virus expression vectors (e.g., cauliflower mosaic virus, CaMV; tobacco mosaic virus, TMV) or transformed with, e.g., recombinant plasmid expression vectors (e.g., Ti plasmid) containing capsid protein coding sequences; or mammalian cell systems (e.g., COS (e.g., COSI or COS), CHO, BHK, MDCK, HEK 293, NS0, PER.C6, VERO, CRL7030, HsS78Bst, HeLa, and NIH 3T3, HEK-293T, HepG2, SP210, R1.1, B-W, L-M, BSC1, BSC40, YB/20, and BMT10 cells) harboring, e.g., recombinant expression constructs containing promoters derived from the genome of mammalian cells (e.g., metallothionein promoter) or from mammalian viruses (e.g., the adenovirus late promoter; the vaccinia virus 7.5K promoter). In an embodiment, cells for expressing the capsid proteins described herein are human cells, e.g., human cell lines. In an embodiment, a mammalian expression vector is pOptiVEC™ or pcDNA3.3. In an embodiment, bacterial cells such as Escherichia coli, or eukaryotic cells (e.g., mammalian cells), are used for the expression of a capsid protein. For example, mammalian cells such as CHO or HEK293 cells, in conjunction with a vector such as the major intermediate early gene promoter element from human cytomegalovirus is an effective expression system for capsid proteins disclosed herein. In an embodiment, insect cells (e.g., Sf9 cells) are used for the expression of a capsid protein.
In an insect system, Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus (AcNPV), for example, can be used as a vector to express foreign genes. The virus grows in Spodoptera frugiperda cells. The capsid protein coding sequence can be cloned individually into non-essential regions (for example the polyhedrin gene) of the virus and placed under control of an AcNPV promoter (for example the polyhedrin promoter).
In mammalian host cells, a number of viral-based expression systems can be utilized. In cases where an adenovirus is used as an expression vector, the capsid protein coding sequence of interest can be ligated to an adenovirus transcription/translation control complex, e.g., the late promoter and tripartite leader sequence. This chimeric gene can then be inserted in the adenovirus genome by in vitro or in vivo recombination. Insertion in a non-essential region of the viral genome (e.g., region E1 or E3) will result in a recombinant virus that is viable and capable of expressing the capsid protein molecule in infected hosts (e.g., see Logan J & Shenk T (1984) PNAS 81 (12): 3655-9, which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety). Specific initiation signals can also be required for efficient translation of inserted capsid protein coding sequences. These signals include the ATG initiation codon and adjacent sequences. Furthermore, the initiation codon must be in phase with the reading frame of the desired coding sequence to ensure translation of the entire insert. These exogenous translational control signals and initiation codons can be of a variety of origins, both natural and synthetic. The efficiency of expression can be enhanced by the inclusion of appropriate transcription enhancer elements, transcription terminators, etc. (see, e.g., Bitter G et al., (1987) Methods Enzymol. 153:516-544, which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety). Such mammalian host cells include but are not limited to CHO, VERO, BHK, Hela, MDCK, HEK 293, NIH 3T3, W138, BT483, Hs578T, HTB2, BT20 and T47D, NS0, CRL7030, COS (e.g., COS1 or COS), PER.C6, VERO, HsS78Bst, HEK-293T, HepG2, SP210, R1.1, B-W, L-M, BSC1, BSC40, YB/20, BMT10, and HsS78Bst cells.
For long-term, high-yield production of recombinant proteins, stable expression cells can be generated. For example, cell lines which stably express a capsid protein described herein can be engineered.
In an embodiment, rather than using expression vectors which contain viral origins of replication, host cells can be transformed with a polynucleotide (e.g., DNA or RNA) controlled by appropriate transcriptional regulatory elements (e.g., promoter, enhancer, sequences, transcription terminators, polyadenylation sites, etc.), and a selectable marker. Following the introduction of polynucleotide, engineered cells can be allowed to grow for 1-2 days in an enriched media, and then are switched to a selective media. The selectable marker in the recombinant plasmid confers resistance to the selection and allows cells to stably integrate the plasmid into their chromosomes and grow to form foci which in turn can be cloned and expanded into cell lines. This method can advantageously be used to engineer cell lines which express a capsid protein described herein or a fragment thereof.
A number of selection systems can be used, including but not limited to the herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase (Wigler M et al., (1977) Cell 11 (1): 223-32), hypoxanthineguanine phosphoribosyltransferase (Szybalska E H & Szybalski W (1962) PNAS 48 (12): 2026-2034) and adenine phosphoribosyltransferase (Lowy I et al., (1980) Cell 22 (3): 817-23) genes in tk-, hgprt- or aprt-cells, respectively, all of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entireties. Also, antimetabolite resistance can be used as the basis of selection for the following genes: dhfr, which confers resistance to methotrexate (Wigler M et al., (1980) PNAS 77 (6): 3567-70; O'Hare K et al., (1981) PNAS 78:1527-31); gpt, which confers resistance to mycophenolic acid (Mulligan R C & Berg P (1981) PNAS 78 (4): 2072-6); neo, which confers resistance to the aminoglycoside G-418 (Wu G Y & Wu C H (1991) Biotherapy 3:87-95; Tolstoshev P (1993) Ann Rev Pharmacol Toxicol 32:573-596; Mulligan R C (1993) Science 260:926-932; and Morgan R A & Anderson W F (1993) Ann Rev Biochem 62:191-217; Nabel G J & Felgner P L (1993) Trends Biotechnol 11 (5): 211-5); and hygro, which confers resistance to hygromycin (Santerre R F et al., (1984) Gene 30 (1-3): 147-56), all of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entireties.

Recombinant AAV capsids that specifically target muscle cells were developed by inserting a peptide within the amino acid sequence of a parental AAV capsid protein.
a. AAV′2 5 Capsid
A chimeric AAV capsid (AAV5.2, SEQ ID NO: 11) was used as the parental capsid protein to generate recombinant AAV capsid proteins. An AAV capsid is encoded by three viral proteins (VPs), VP1, VP2 and VP3, which are incorporated into a 60-subunit capsid in a 1:1:10 ratio. The AAV5.2 capsid is an engineered variant of AAV2 and AAV5 capsids, which includes a VP1 sequence from AAV2 and a VP2/3 sequence from AAV5.
b. Design of Capsids
The VP1 and VP2 unique sequences are located on the inside of the capsid and contain a phospholipase (PLA2) domain (in VP1) and nuclear localization signal (VP1 and VP2). The VP3 sequence (which is contained in all three VPs) is the primary protein sequence which constitutes the surface topology of the AAV capsid, which in turn dictates tropism and antigenicity. The VP3 topology contains a core eight-stranded (BB to BI)-barrel motif and large loop insertions between the β-strands which form the surface of the capsid. Conformational variations in these nine surface loops (VR-I to VR-IX) define the unique surface features for the distinct AAV serotypes. Accordingly, the peptide insertions described here are inserted in these externally facing loops. Specifically, loops IV and VIII were selected for peptide insertion sites.
Position 443, located at the apex of loop IV on the AAV5 capsid (SEQ ID NO: 10) or position 444 on the AAV5.2 capsid (SEQ ID NO: 11), was selected as an insertion site in loop IV, the peptides were inserted immediately C-terminal to these amino acid positions. Position 576, located at the apex of loop VIII on the AAV5 capsid (SEQ ID NO: 10) or position 577 on the AAV5.2 capsid (SEQ ID NO 11), was selected as the insertion site in loop VIII, the peptides were inserted immediately C-terminal to these amino acid positions. Insertion of a peptide immediately C-terminal to these positions should have minimal effect on capsid integrity because the remaining VP residue interactions remain intact at the base of the capsid.
Nine different peptides (SEQ ID NOs: 1-9; see Table 1) were used to engineer the recombinant AAV capsid proteins. Specifically, polynucleotides encoding capsid proteins comprising a parental AAV5.2 capsid protein with a peptide insertion from Table 1 were synthesized and inserted into a plasmid vector. Each AAV capsid protein was engineered to contain only one peptide insertion, immediately C-terminal to position 444 in loop IV or 577 in loop VIII according to AAV5.2 (SEQ ID NO: 11), i.e., position 443 in loop IV and position 576 in loop VIII of the AAV5 capsid (SEQ ID NO: 10). The amino acid sequences of the resulting recombinant AAV capsid proteins (SEQ ID NOs: 12-29) are disclosed in Table 2.
The ability of the recombinant AAV capsids to target muscle cells was analyzed by transducing muscle cells in human muscle bundles.
Muscle cell transduction was analyzed in a 3D muscle microtissue model, generated using human skeletal myoblasts (CC-2580, Lonza). Briefly, cells were seeded within the hydrogel mixture and an appropriate volume of seeding hydrogel mixture containing cells was added into each muscle chamber of the OMEGAMP device ensuring that the cells were evenly spread within the seeding hydrogel and throughout the chamber. Myoblasts were maintained in myoblast seeding medium for 2 days post seeding. The medium was then replaced with 2 mL of freshly prepared myoblast differentiation medium. AAV transduction of the muscle microtissues was performed at day 11 of differentiation by adding myoblast differentiation medium containing the different AAV capsids, VYAAV-5.2-GFP, AAV-VYPep15-loopIV-GFP, AAV-VYPep14-loopIV-GFP or AAV9-GFP (HEK) at an MOI of 1×106 per cell. Medium containing the AAV capsids was replaced with fresh myoblast differentiation medium 2 days post transduction. Myoblast differentiation medium was partially replaced every 2 days until the day of harvest at day 18.
At day 18 post differentiation, myoblast differentiation medium was replaced with PBS containing Hoechst 3342 (1:10,000) and the muscle microtissues were imaged using the ImageXpress PICO at 4× magnification. GFP expression from the muscle microtissue was quantified as mean fluorescence intensity using ImageJ and the results were expressed as fold increase in GFP expression from different capsids versus GFP expression from AAV9.
The results summarized in Table 5 below demonstrate that recombinant AAV capsids with a peptide inserted at position 443 in loop IV show improved transduction of muscle cells compared to the parental AAV capsid.
The transduction efficiency of the recombinant AAV capsids was further analyzed by transducing human myotubes with the capsids.
Human skeletal muscle cells (CC-2580, Lonza) were plated at a cell density of 50,000 cells per well of a 24 well plate. Differentiation of myoblasts was induced when the cells reached 85-90% confluency by replacing myoblast proliferation media with myoblast (low serum) differentiation media. Myotube differentiation was carried out for 7 days with differentiation medium being partially replaced every 2 days. AAV transduction of the myotubes was performed at an MOI of 1×106 per cell, mixed with 50 μL of PBS at the start of differentiation and negative controls were treated with 50 μL of PBS only. One day post-transduction, medium was refreshed. For analysis of transduction efficacy, GFP+ cells were monitored overtime with the EVOS FLoid Imaging System (Cat. No. 447116). One-week post-transduction, the transduced myotubes were imaged using the EVOS FLoid Imaging System (Cat. No. 447116) at 20× magnification and later harvested and frozen for further quantitative analyses.

The transduction efficiency of the recombinant AAV capsids was further analyzed by transducing human astrocytes and motor neurons with the capsids.
Human astrocytes and iPSC-derived motor neurons were plated at a cell density of 50,000 cells per well of a 24 well plate. The astrocytes were transduced with parental AAV9, AAV9 with VYPep14 inserted in loop VIII (AAV9-VYPep14-loopVIII), parental AAV5.2, AAV5.2-VYPep14-loopIV, AAV5.2-VYPep14-loopVIII, AAV5.2-VYPep15-loop VIII, AAV5.2-VYPep7-loopIV, AAV5.2-VYPep7-loopVIII at an MOI of 1×104 per cell. The motor neurons were transduced with AAV9, parental AAV5.2, AAV5.2-VYPep7-loopIV, AAV5.2-VYPep7-loop VIII at an 1×106 per cell. One day post-transduction, medium was refreshed. For analysis of transduction efficacy of astrocytes, GFP+ cells were monitored overtime with the EVOS FLoid Imaging System (Cat. No. 447116). One-week post-transduction, the transduced astrocytes were imaged using the EVOS FLoid Imaging System (Cat. No. 447116) at 20× magnification and later harvested and frozen for further quantitative analyses. The motor neurons were stained with Hoechst one week post transduction and analyzed for Hoechst and GFP fluorescence. The % positive motor neurons were determined using the cell scoring analysis within the PICO ImageXpress software which scores nuclei positive for both Hoechst and GFP.
GFP expression from the astrocytes was quantified and expressed as percentage of GFP positive cells out of the total number of cells. The results shown in
The transduction efficiency of AAV5.2-VYPep7-loop IV in astrocytes was further analyzed at different MOIs over a course of eight days. iPSC-derived astrocytes were seeded at day 0 and transduced 4 days post seeding with AAV5.2-GFP, AAV9-GFP, or AAV5.2-VYPep7-loop IV at 3 different MOIs: 1×104, 1×105, or 1×106. Fluorescence images were acquired at 2—, 4- and 8 days post transduction. The % positive cells were determined using the cell scoring analysis within the PICO ImageXpress software which scores nuclei both positive for Hoechst and GFP. The results in
The transduction efficiency of the recombinant AAV capsids was further analyzed by transducing non-human primate (NHP) astrocytes.
Primary NHP astrocytes were seeded at day 0 and grown to a 70-90% confluency. Four days post seeding, the cells were transduced at an MOI 1×105 and 1×106 with mock/negative control, AAV5.2-GFP, AAV9-GFP, AAV5.2-VYPep7-loopIV-GFP, and AAV5.2-VYPep14-loopIV-GFP. Images were acquired at 3 days post transduction. The % positive cells were determined using the cell scoring analysis within the PICO ImageXpress software which scores nuclei positive for both Hoechst and GFP.

The ability of the recombinant AAV capsids to permeate the blood brain barrier (BBB) was analyzed using a BBB microfluid model.
The BBB model used for testing of the capsids comprises human cell lines of brain endothelial cells (blood side) and astrocytes (brain side) in a three-lane microfluidic platform that harbors 40 chips in a 384-well plate format (OrganoPlate® 3-lane 40). In each chip, a perfused vessel of brain endothelial cells was grown against an extracellular matrix gel, which was patterned by means of surface tension techniques. Astrocytes were added on the other side of the gel to complete the BBB on-a-chip model. Barrier function of the model was studied using fluorescent barrier integrity assays. The different AAV capsids, VVAAV-5.2-GFP, VYAAV-5.2-GFP, AAV5.2-VYPep7-loopIV-GFP, AAV5.2-VYPep14-loopIV-GFP, AAV5.2-VYPep14-loopVIII-GFP, and AAV9-VYPep14-loop VIII-GFP were added to the chips on the blood side at day 10 post seeding of the endothelial cells at an MOI of 1×106 per cell. Medium was replaced with fresh human brain microvascular endothelial cell medium and astrocyte medium on the blood side and the brain side, respectively. At Day 6 post transduction with the AAV5, medium was replaced with PBS containing Hoescht 33342, 1:10,000 (Cat. No. 62249, Thermofisher Scientific) and the Organoplate was imaged using the ImageXpress PICO at 4× magnification.
GFP expression from the cells transduced with AAV5.2-GFP, AAV5.2VYPep7-loopIV, and AAV5.2VYPep14-loopIV was quantified both on the blood side (endothelial) and brain side (astrocytes) and expressed as percentage of GFP positive cells out of the total number of cells at day 6 (
