The inventors identified that most of the known HPFH mutations in the γ-globin promoters (C>T, G>A, T>C or A>G) can be recapitulated using CBE- and ABE-mediatedbase-editing approaches. In particular, the inventors designed gRNAs that, when combined with CBEs or ABEs, generate HPFH mutations, and either disrupt binding sites for transcriptional repressors (-200 and -115 sites) or generate de novo DNA motifs recognized by transcriptional activators (e.g., -198 T>C, the -175 T>C and -113 A>G). It is noteworthy that a subset of the gRNAs targeting the -200 and the 115 regions are predicted to generate simultaneously HPFH mutations and also to make base changes other than HPFH mutations in or around the LRF and BCL11A binding sites, which might further reduce LRF and BCL11A occupancy. Accordingly, the present invention relates to base editing approaches for the treatment of β-hemoglobinopathies.

It has been shown that the severity of both SCD and β-thalassemia is lessened by the hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin (HbF) in adulthood (HPFH). Now the inventors exploited the capacity of prime editing to simultaneously generate multiple HPFH mutations and disrupt the BCL11A repressor BS in the -115 region of the HBG1/2 γ-globin promoters to further boost HbF expression and correct the β-thalassemia and SCD phenotypes. Specifically, the inventors selected two potent HPFH/HPFH-like mutations generating BSs for the GATA1 and KLF1 activators, that are associated with a strong γ-globin reactivation in patients and experimental models. This strategy would be very appealing for the treatment of β-hemoglobinopathies.

P-G3 treatment of obese mice inhibits visceral adiposity, increases energy expenditure, prevents obesity, and alleviates associated metabolic dysfunctions. The extracellular matrix of adipose tissue is enriched with glycosaminoglycans, the known biomacromolecules with the strongest negative charge. P-G3 uncouples adipocyte lipid synthesis and storage from adipocyte development, creating adipocytes with normal functions but that are deficient in hypertrophic growth. The visceral fat distribution of P-G3 is further enhanced by modifying P-G3 with cholesterol to form lipophilic nanoparticles, effective in treating obesity. This strategy provides a method to target visceral adiposity, and cationic nanomaterials useful for treating metabolic diseases or for delivery of additional treating agents.
