腺相关病毒载体药物毒理学研究进展:机制、评估与干预策略

Advances in Toxicity Research of Adeno-Associated Virus Vectors: Mechanisms, Evaluation, and Mitigation Strategies

  • 摘要: 腺相关病毒(adeno-associated virus, AAV)基因治疗药物在治疗罕见病和遗传性疾病中应用前景广阔,但伴随而来的剂量相关免疫反应、靶器官毒性及基因组整合等安全性问题逐渐显现,严重制约其临床推广。本文从AAV载体药物毒性的主要表现入手,深入分析衣壳蛋白结构、基因组构建及表达调控等因素在毒性反应中的作用机制,系统评述当前主流检测技术(包括微滴式数字PCR、单细胞转录组测序、生物发光成像与液体活检等)在毒性识别与监测中的应用进展,并进一步探讨了衣壳工程、给药途径优化、免疫调控与个体化干预等缓解策略,提出构建“设计-监测-干预”闭环控制体系的设想,旨在为AAV基因治疗药物的安全性评估、临床应用优化及监管策略制定提供参考依据。

     

    Abstract: Adeno-associated virus (AAV) -based gene therapies hold broad application prospects in the treatment of rare and genetic diseases. However, emerging safety concerns such as dose-dependent immune responses, target organ toxicity, and genomic integration have increasingly become apparent, significantly limiting their clinical translation. This article begins by examining the major manifestations of AAV vector toxicity, delves into the mechanisms by which factors such as capsid structure, genome design, and expression regulation contribute to toxic responses, and provides a systematic review of the advances in current mainstream detection technologies-including droplet digital PCR, single-cell RNA sequencing, bioluminescence imaging, and liquid biopsyfor toxicity identification and monitoring. Furthermore, it explores mitigation strategies such as capsid engineering, route of administration optimization, immune modulation, and personalized interventions. The paper proposes a conceptual "design-monitor-intervene" closed-loop control framework, aiming to offer valuable insights for safety evaluation, clinical application optimization, and regulatory strategy development of AAV-based gene therapeutics.
