Primary hyperoxaluria type 1 (PH1) is a rare genetic disorder caused by endogenous overproduction of hepatic oxalate, leading to hyperoxaluria, recurrent calcium oxalate kidney stones, and end‐stage renal disease. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is an ideal target for diminishing oxalate production as it is responsible for glyoxylate to oxalate conversion in the liver, the last step of oxalate metabolism. Here, we investigated the therapeutic efficacy and potential side effects of clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas9 technology to ameliorate PH1 via specifically disrupting the hepatic LDH. Pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells were used to assess the efficacy of cleavage of single‐guide RNAs in vitro. PH1 neonatal rats were injected with a single administration of adeno‐associated virus to deliver the CRISPR/Cas9 system that targeted LDH. Three weeks after injection, a liver biopsy was performed to detect LDH expression, liver injury, and liver metabolomics. Urinary oxalate was regularly monitored, and renal calcium oxalate deposition was evaluated after 4 weeks of 0.5% ethylene glycol challenge. After 6 months of treatment, animals were euthanized, and ex‐liver organs were harvested for toxicity analysis. The Ldha gene was specifically knocked out in 20% of the liver cells of PH1 rats in the treatment group, leading to a 50% lower LDH expression than that in the control group. Compared to the control groups, urinary oxalate levels were significantly decreased, and renal calcium oxalate precipitation was largely mitigated in the treatment group throughout the entire 6‐month study period. While no CRISPR/Cas9‐associated off‐target edits or hepatotoxicity were detected, we observed mild metabolic changes in the liver tricarboxylic acid (TCA) and glycolysis pathways. CRISPR/Cas9‐mediated LDH disruption may represent an applicable new strategy for alleviating PH1 for its long‐lasting effect and low editorial efficiency requirements. CRISPR/Cas9 technology provides novel approaches for inherited monogenic diseases by targeting non‐essential enzymes. Using a rat model, we demonstrate that the AAV‐delivered CRISPR/Cas9 system is an effective and safe platform for knocking down lactate dehydrogenase and alleviating the life‐threatening primary hyperoxaluria type 1.
