CRISPR tools for T cells: targeting the genome, epigenome, and transcriptome.
T cell therapy has curative potential for many cancers. Despite impressive clinical efficacy in hematological malignancies, current T cell therapy still faces challenges related to sustaining responses, antigen escape, cytotoxicity, limited accessibility, and difficulties in treating solid tumors. The advent of CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats) technologies provides a promising solution to these challenges. CRISPR technologies have grown from merely tools for gene knockout to sophisticated tools that can engineer cells at various levels of the genome, epigenome, and transcriptome. In this review we discuss recent technological advancements and how their application to T cells has the potential to steer the next generation of cellular therapy. We highlight emerging applications and current technological limitations that future tool development aims to overcome.
