描述信息 The gene therapy achieved by AAV-mediated otoferlin overexpression is the most successful congenital deaf therapeutic strategy. However, achieving its physiological and endogenous patterns of expression remains challenging. Here, we generated the homologous mutation Otof c.1315C>T (p.R439*), equivalent to OTOF c.1273C>T (p.R425*) found in humans with profound deafness, to create a nonsense mutation-induced deaf mouse model. We then delivered the 'RESTART v3' system, which is a CRISPR-free RNA base editor for nonsense mutation suppression, into the cochlea of the mice. We achieved physiological otoferlin expression; the edited premature termination codon was reverse-mutated to the original amino acid. We observed significant hearing restoration and enhancement of the behavioral auditory startle reflex. Thus, our study presents a successful RNA editing strategy to significantly restore hereditary deafness in mice carrying the specific Otof nonsense mutation, which holds great promise for future clinical translation.
