Abstract
Inherited retinal diseases (IRDs) are characterized by progressive vision loss. There are over 270 causative IRD genes, and variants within the same gene can cause clinically distinct disorders. One example is RLBP1, which encodes CRALBP. CRALBP is an essential protein in the rod and cone visual cycles that take place primarily in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) but also in Müller cells of the neuroretina. RLBP1 variants lead to three clinical subtypes: Bothnia dystrophy, retinitis punctata albescens, and Newfoundland rod-cone dystrophy. We modeled RLBP1-IRD subtypes using patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived RPE and identified pathophysiological markers that served as pertinent therapeutic read-outs. We developed an AAV2/5-mediated gene-supplementation strategy and performed a proof-of-concept study in the human models, which was validated invivo in an Rlbp1to/to murine model. Most importantly, we identified a previously unsuspected smaller CRALBP isoform that is naturally and differentially expressed both in the human and murine retina. This previously unidentified isoform is produced from an alternative methionine initiation site. This work provides further insights into CRALBP expression and RLBP1-associated pathophysiology and raises important considerations for successful gene-supplementation therapy.
