In several forms of beta-thalassemia, mutations in the second intron of the beta-globin gene create aberrant 5' splice sites and activate a common cryptic 3' splice site upstream. As a result, the thalassemic beta-globin pre-mRNAs are spliced almost exclusively via the aberrant splice sites leading to a deficiency of correctly spliced beta-globin mRNA and, consequently, beta-globin. We have designed a series of vectors that express modified U7 snRNAs containing sequences antisense to either the aberrant 5' or 3' splice sites in the IVS2-705 thalassemic pre-mRNA. Transient expression of modified U7 snRNAs in a HeLa cell line stably expressing the IVS2-705 beta-globin gene restored up to 65% of correct splicing in a sequence-specific and dose...
