Gene editing of FOXP3 ensures regulated expression and restored function in T cells, supporting clinical applicability.
Abstract Genome editing by homology directed repair (HDR) is leveraged to precisely modify the genome of therapeutically relevant hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs). Here, we present a new approach increasing frequency HDR in human HSPCs delivery an inhibitor 53BP1 (named “i53”) as recombinant peptide. We show that use i53 peptide effectively increases HDR-mediated at variety loci well other primary cell types. incorporating protein allows high frequencies while lowering amounts...
Forkhead box P3 (FOXP3) is an essential transcription factor for regulatory T cell (Treg) function. Defects in Tregs mediate many immune diseases including the monogenic autoimmune disease dysregulation, polyendocrinopathy, enteropathy, X-linked syndrome (IPEX), which caused by FOXP3 mutations. Treg products are a promising modality to induce allograft tolerance or reduce use of immunosuppressive drugs prevent rejection, as well treatment acquired diseases. We have recently opened phase I...
