Abstract

Significance: Abnormal gene expression is the underlying cause for many pathological states, and restoring normalcy through overexpression or knockdown is a conceptually simple solution. Despite the advantages over DNA and viral vectors, RNA-based therapeutics have been plagued by problems of poor translatability, stability, and adverse immune reactions. Efficient in vivo delivery has also been challenging because currently available lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) can induce liver damage and elicit a strong immune response. In this study, we demonstrate the successful use of LUNAR—a safe, reproducible, and effective LNP mRNA delivery platform that can be used to treat diseases requiring protein replacement. We achieve therapeutic delivery of mRNAs in a preclinical model of hemophilia and demonstrate alleviation of disease symptoms.

  • mRNA-based protein replacement therapies have been applied to haematological diseases, central nervous system disorders, skin diseases and hearing loss in preclinical studies.

    “In addition, mRNA-based protein replacement therapies have been applied to haematological diseases (for example, haemophilia A232, haemophilia B91,104,233 and thrombotic thrombocytopaenic purpura234), central nervous system disorders67,152 (for example, Friedreich’s ataxia67), skin diseases235,236 (for example, elastin deficiency235) and hearing loss237 in preclinical”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
