The number of gene therapy (GTx) modality therapies in development has grown significantly in the last few years. Adeno-associated virus (AAV)-based delivery approach has become most prevalent among other virus-based GTx vectors. Several regulatory guidelines provide the industry with general considerations related to AAV GTx development including discussion and recommendations related to highly diverse bioanalytical support of the AAV-based therapeutics. This includes assessment of pre- and post-treatment immunity, evaluation of post-treatment viral shedding and infectivity, as well as detection of transgene protein expression. An overview of the current regulatory recommendations as found in currently active and published draft US FDA and EMA guidance or guideline documents is presented herein.

Adeno-associated virus (AAV) inverted terminal repeats (ITRs) induce p53-dependent apoptosis in human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). To interrogate this phenomenon, a synthetic ITR (SynITR), harboring substitutions in putative p53 binding sites was generated and evaluated for vector production and gene delivery. Replication of SynITR flanked transgenic genome was similar compared to wild type (wt) ITR, with a modest increase in vector titers.

Leveraging large chromatin accessibility atlases, putative enhancer sequences can be identified and deployed in adeno-associated virus (AAV) delivery platforms. However, a significant bottleneck in enhancer AAV discovery is charting their detailed expression patterns , a process that currently requires gold-standard one-by-one testing.

Increasing demand for adeno-associated virus (AAV) used in gene therapy highlights the need to enhance AAV production. When intracellular AAV2 and extracellular AAV9 were produced in HEK293T cells using the triple transfection method, apoptosis occurred during the AAV production. To mitigate apoptosis induced by AAV production, the pro-apoptotic BAX/BAK1 genes were knocked out in HEK293T cells.

Hypothalamic arcuate (ARC) kisspeptin neurons are considered the gonadotropin-releasing hormone pulse generator in rats. In virgin rats, the expression of the ARC kisspeptin gene (Kiss1) is repressed by proestrous levels of estradiol-17β (high E2) but not by diestrous levels of E2 (low E2). In lactating rats, ARC Kiss1 expression is repressed by low E2 during late lactation.
