Abstract
Here, we applied in vivo bioluminescent imaging to mice systemically injected with AAV vectors containing different combinations of capsids, enhancers, and timing of delivery. Longitudinal tracking of expression directed by different TREEs revealed distinct amplitudes and durations of reporter gene expression in the injured heart. The liver-de-targeted AAV capsid, AAV.cc84, could deliver TREEs either pre- or post-cardiac injury to negate off-target expression in the liver while maintaining transduction in the heart. By screening AAV9-based capsid libraries dosed systemically in mice post-cardiac injury, we discovered a new capsid variant, AAV.IR41, with enhanced transduction in cardiac injuries and with elevated transduction of TREE driven transgenes versus conventional AAV9 vectors. Datasets include images, image analyses, sequencing results, spreadsheets, and statistical analyses.
