Mutations in pre-mRNA processing factors (PRPFs) cause autosomal-dominant retinitis pigmentosa (RP), but it is unclear why mutations in ubiquitously expressed genes cause non-syndromic retinal disease. Here, we generate transcriptome profiles from RP11 (PRPF31-mutated) patient-derived retinal organoids and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), as well as Prpf31+/- mouse tissues, which revealed that disrupted alternative splicing occurred for specific splicing programmes. Mis-splicing of genes encoding pre-mRNA splicing proteins was limited to patient-specific retinal cells and Prpf31+/- mouse retinae and RPE. Mis-splicing of genes implicated in ciliogenesis and cellular adhesion was associated with severe RPE defects that include disrupted apical - basal polarity, reduced trans-epithelial resistance and phagocytic capacity, and decreased cilia length and incidence. Disrupted cilia morphology also occurred in patient-derived photoreceptors, associated with progressive degeneration and cellular stress. In situ gene editing of a pathogenic mutation rescued protein expression and key cellular phenotypes in RPE and photoreceptors, providing proof of concept for future therapeutic strategies.

与剪接和纤毛发生相关的基因的选择性剪接被破坏会导致 PRPF31 视网膜色素变性。



前 mRNA 加工因子 (PRPF) 的突变会导致常染色体显性遗传性视网膜色素变性 (RP),但目前尚不清楚为什么普遍表达的基因的突变会导致非综合征性视网膜疾病。在这里,我们从 RP11(PRPF31 突变)患者来源的视网膜类器官和视网膜色素上皮 (RPE) 以及 Prpf31 +/-小鼠组织中生成转录组图谱,这表明特定剪接程序发生了破坏的选择性剪接。编码前 mRNA 剪接蛋白的基因的错误剪接仅限于患者特异性视网膜细胞和 Prpf31 +/-小鼠视网膜和 RPE。与纤毛发生和细胞粘附有关的基因的错误剪接与严重的 RPE 缺陷相关,包括顶端 - 基底极性破坏、跨上皮阻力和吞噬能力降低以及纤毛长度和发生率降低。患者来源的光感受器中也发生了纤毛形态的破坏,这与进行性退化和细胞应激有关。致病突变的原位基因编辑挽救了 RPE 和光感受器中的蛋白质表达和关键细胞表型,为未来的治疗策略提供了概念证明。
