Abstract:
CRISPR-Cas9-mediated gene knockout and base-editing-associated induction of STOP codons (iSTOP) have been widely used to exterminate the function of a coding gene, while they have been reported to exhibit side effects. In this study, we propose a novel and practical alternative method referred to as CRISPR Start-Loss (CRISPR-SL), which eliminates gene expression by utilizing both adenine base editors (ABEs) and cytidine base editors (CBEs) to disrupt the initiation codon (ATG). CRISPR-SL has been verified to be a feasible strategy on the cellular and embryonic levels (mean editing efficiencies up to 30.67% and 73.50%, respectively) and in two rabbit models mimicking Otc deficiency (Otc gene) and long hair economic traits (Fgf5 gene).
摘要:
CRISPR-Cas9介导的基因敲除和碱基编辑相关的STOP密码子诱导(iSTOP)已被广泛用于消除编码基因的功能,虽然据报道它们有副作用。在这项研究中,我们提出了一种新颖实用的替代方法,称为CRISPR起始损失(CRISPR-SL),通过利用腺嘌呤碱基编辑器(ABE)和胞苷碱基编辑器(CBE)破坏起始密码子(ATG)来消除基因表达。CRISPR-SL已被验证为在细胞和胚胎水平上的可行策略(平均编辑效率高达30.67%和73.50%,分别)和在两个模拟Otc缺乏症(Otc基因)和长发经济性状(Fgf5基因)的兔模型中。
