Characterisation of the ocular inflammatory response to AAV reveals divergence by sex and age.

Academic Unit of Ophthalmology, Translational Health Sciences, University of Bristol, Bristol, BS8 1TD, UK; NIHR Biomedical Research Centre of Ophthalmology, Moorfields Eye Hospital, London, EC1V 2PD, UK. Electronic address:

Progress for ocular AAV gene therapy has been hindered by AAV-induced inflammation, limiting dose escalation and long-term efficacy. Broadly, the extent of inflammatory responses alters with age and sex, yet these factors are poorly represented in pre-clinical development of ocular AAV gene therapies. Here, we combined clinical imaging, flow cytometry and bulk-sequencing of sorted microglia to interrogate the longitudinal inflammatory response following intravitreal delivery of AAV2 in young (3-month), middle aged (9-month) and old (18-month) Cx3cr1-creER:R26tdTomato+/- mice of both sexes.

Biochips are widely applied to manipulate the geometrical morphology of stem cells in recent years. Patterned antenna-like pseudopodia are also probed to explore the influence of pseudopodia formation on gene delivery and expression on biochips. However, how the antenna-like pseudopodia affect gene transfection is unsettled and the underlying trafficking mechanism of exogenous genes in engineered single cells is not announced.

CRISPR-Cas (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats and associated proteins) is a novel genome editing technology with potential applications in treating diseases. Currently, its use in humans is restricted to clinical trials, although its growth rate is significant, and some have received initial FDA approval. It is crucial to examine and address the challenges for this technology to be implemented in clinical settings.
