Disclosed are methods and compositions for treating ore preventing a STAT5-mediated medical condition, e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, in a subject by administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a compound, the compound being a STAT5 inhibitor, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the STAT5 inhibitor, or a solvate of the STAT5 inhibitor, or a prodrug of the STAT5 inhibitor. In one example, the compound used in the methods and compositions is pimozide. In another example, the compound used in the methods and compositions is nicotinohydrazide.

Provided herein are gene editing systems and/or compositions comprising RNA guides targeting LDHA for use in genetic editing of the LDHA gene. Also provide herein are methods of using the gene editing system for introducing edits to the LDHA gene and/or for treatment of primary hyperoxaluria (PH), and processes for characterizing the gene editing system.

Provided herein are gene editing systems and/or compositions comprising RNA guides targeting HAO1 for use in genetic editing of the HAO1 gene. Also provide herein are methods of using the gene editing system for introducing edits to the HAO1 gene and/or for treatment of primary hyperoxaluria (PH), and processes for characterizing the gene editing system.

The disclosure provides a method of producing recombinant alkaline phosphatase comprising: (i) inoculating Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells expressing recombinant alkaline phosphatase in culture medium; (ii) culturing the CHO cells in the culture medium at a temperature of about 37° C.; (iii) adding a combination of nutrient supplements to the cell culture of (ii) at least one day after inoculation, the combination comprising (a) a first animal-derived component-free (ADCF) nutrient supplement comprising one or more amino acids, vitamins, salts, trace elements, poloxamer and glucose, wherein the first ADCF nutrient supplement does not comprise hypoxanthine, thymidine, insulin, L-glutamine, growth factors, peptides, proteins, hydrolysates, phenol red and 2-mercaptoethanol; and (b) a second ADCF nutrient supplement comprising one or more amino acids, wherein the second ADCF nutrient supplement lacks hypoxanthine, thymidine, insulin, L-glutamine, growth factors, peptides, proteins, hydrolysates, phenol red, 2-mercaptoethanol and poloxamer; (iv) decreasing the temperature of the cell culture of (iii) to about 30° C. about 80 hours to 120 hours after the inoculation; and (v) isolating the recombinant alkaline phosphatase from the cell culture of (iv) by at least one chromatography step.

Provided herein are methods for managing host immune responses to improve therapeutic outcomes in adeno-associated virus (AAV)-mediated gene therapy. Such methods may include administering a recombinant adeno-associated vims (rAAV) to a subject following administration of a CD 19 inhibitor, e.g., an anti-CD 19 antibody. The methods described herein can facilitate improved transgene expression, help overcome pre-existing NAbs, and/or permit redosing with the same or substantially similar rAAV or transgene.
