Cellular Inflammation-Induced Cleavage of Phosphorothioate DNA Locker Activates CRISPR/Cas9 Regulator for Gene Editing.

The CRISPR technology is a highly promising strategy for developing a versatile toolbox to engineer genetic circuits. However, achieving precise and specific control over the activity of the CRISPR/Cas9 system in response to intracellular processes remains a challenging endeavor. In this study, we present a cellular inflammation-induced activation of an engineered CRISPR/Cas9 regulator for gene regulation. A phosphorothioate (PS)-modified DNA sequence, referred as the "locker," is employed to deactivate single guide RNA (sgRNA), whose locker sequence complements the spacer region of sgRNA. In the presence of myeloperoxidase during cellular inflammation, a halogenation process is triggered, leading to the generation of HClO, specifically cleaving the PS site of locker and activating CRISPR/Cas9 for gene editing. The target GFP gene has been successfully edited, downregulating the GFP protein expression in HeLa cells. This study provides valuable insights into the CRISPR-based gene regulation through specific endogenous processes.

Rapid Generation of Recombinant Poxviruses Using CRISPR/Cas9 Gene Editing.

The low-frequency natural recombination that is detected in poxvirus-infected cells has long been used to genetically modify poxviruses. Such recombinant poxviruses have found many applications as vaccines for preventing infectious diseases and as experimental cancer therapeutics. Unfortunately, these methods are time consuming, can leave behind "scars" or selectable markers, and many months of work may be required to generate plaque-purified recombinants bearing multiple virus gene substitutions, deletions, and/or inserted transgenes. Over the last decade, several reports have described how CRISPR/Cas9 technologies can be used to better facilitate genetic manipulation of vaccinia virus (VACV). These protocols use Cas9/gRNA complexes to introduce double-stranded breaks into specific sites in virus genomic DNA either in vivo or in vitro. Recombination-repair reactions are then employed to repair the breaks using transfected DNAs encoding the required homologies and desired mutation(s). Here we describe a method where we combine CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing in vitro, followed by Leporipoxvirus-catalyzed repair and reactivation of the cut VACV DNA using repair fragments provided in trans. This method optimizes several steps in the preparation of the CRISPR/Cas9-cut VACV DNA and can be used to introduce mutations at multiple sites without requiring selectable markers. It also provides some guidance regarding how the position of the CRISPR/Cas9-cuts can affect co-conversion of flanking markers embedded in the repair fragment. The method allows researchers to quickly generate recombinant VACV bearing multiple genetic alterations and using only a single round of reactivation and plating.

Targeted multiplex gene knockouts in Lemna minor using CRISPR/Cas9.

Lemna minor (commonly known as duckweed) is a fast-growing aquatic plant recognized as a promising green bioreactor for recombinant protein production. Its rapid proliferation, high protein yield, environmental adaptability, and edibility make it highly attractive for biotechnological applications. It is essential to develop and expand genetic tools tailored to this species to maximize these advantages and further unlock its biotechnological potential. A key strategy for achieving this goal is the implementation of advanced genome editing technologies, such as the CRISPR/Cas9 system. Although multiplex CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing has previously been successfully applied in Lemna aequinoctialis, the capability of the endogenous plant tRNA processing system for multiplex editing in L. minor using the polycistronic tRNA-sgRNA (PTG)/Cas9 system has not yet been explored. In this study, a PTG construct was engineered to include four sgRNAs designed to simultaneously target two plant-specific glycosyltransferase genes: α-1,3-fucosyltransferase (FucT) and β-1,2-xylosyltransferase (XylT). As anticipated, the PTG-Cas9 system successfully induced frameshift mutations, characterized by insertions and deletions (indels), in regenerated L. minor plants derived from transformed calli. Validation via PCR and RT-PCR analysis, followed by sequencing of the target loci, confirmed the presence of indels at the target sites. Furthermore, western blot analyses utilizing antibodies specific to XylT and FucT in two homozygous lines (lines 44 and 217) revealed truncated XylT proteins in both lines. Moreover, an in-frame FucT protein was detected in line 217, whereas FucT expression was absent in line 44. This study marked the first successful demonstration of PTG-Cas9 system for multiplex genome editing in L. minor, paving the way for advanced genetic engineering in this species.

Targeted Nanoparticle Delivery CRISPR/Cas9: overcoming biological barriers, enhancing stability, and improving therapeutic precision.

Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein 9 (Cas9) has emerged as a promising gene-editing platform for genetic disorders; however, its in vivo application remains limited by low delivery efficiency and biological barriers. Many CRISPR payloads fail to reach target sites due to extracellular degradation, immune clearance, and intracellular trafficking limitations. This review examines the interplay between biological barriers and nanoparticle engineering strategies for CRISPR/Cas9 delivery. A barrier-oriented engineering approach is proposed as a central framework, encompassing ligand-based surface modification for enhanced targeting and uptake, improved circulation stability via PEGylation and biomimetic coatings, and optimized payload release through endosomal escape strategies. Stimulus-responsive nanoparticle systems further enable spatiotemporal control over payload release. Nuclear targeting strategies, including optimization of nuclear localization signals (NLS) and exploitation of endogenous trafficking pathways, are highlighted as key factors for improving genome-level editing efficiency. Despite these advances, major challenges-including limited intracellular delivery efficiency, insufficient targeting precision, and safety concerns-continue to hinder clinical translation. Future directions highlight artificial intelligence-driven nanoparticle design, personalized delivery systems, and next-generation CRISPR platforms. Overall, an integrated, barrier-oriented engineering strategy is essential for advancing CRISPR/Cas9 delivery toward clinical applications, ultimately advancing global good health and well-being.

CRISPR/Cas9 screenings reveal the role of STX1A and CDK1 in Cathepsin G entering and killing colorectal cancer cells.

Neutrophils are the major populations of white blood cells and have been reported to facilitate cancer metastasis. Meanwhile, emerging evidence has recently suggested the anti-cancer role of neutrophils. Our previous study revealed that CB-839 and 5-FU-treated colorectal cancer (CRC) tumors recruited neutrophils and induced neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). Cathepsin G (CTSG), which is released during NET formation, enters CRC cells through the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) and cleaves 14-3-3ε to promote apoptosis. However, the detailed mechanism underlying CTSG's anti-tumor function remains less studied. In this study, we report that CTSG enters CRC cells through RAGE-mediated endocytosis. Knocking out RAGE or inhibiting endocytosis blocks CTSG from entering CRC cells and attenuates CTSG-induced apoptosis. Furthermore, the clathrin coat assembly complex and SNARE proteins were enriched in an arrayed CRISPR/Cas9 screening targeting human membrane trafficking genes. Knocking out SNARE protein STX1A prevents the spread of CTSG in CRC cells and the induction of cleaved PARP. A pooled genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 screening further identifies the role of CDK1 in the NET-induced killing of CRC cells. Inhibiting CDK1 protected CRC cells from killing by CTSG. Our study reveals novel mechanisms by which CTSG enters and kills CRC cells.

Dual-gRNA CRISPR/Cas9 Deletion of CsDMR6 in Sweet Orange Supported by Improved In Vitro Regeneration.

Huanglongbing (HLB), caused by Candidatus Liberibacter spp., remains the most destructive disease affecting citrus worldwide. To support host-directed genome-editing strategies aimed at reducing susceptibility, we optimized key regeneration steps in Citrus sinensis and validated a dual-gRNA CRISPR/Cas9 approach targeting the susceptibility gene CsDMR6. Juvenile explants of 'Valencia' and hybrid genotypes (CsH1-CsH3) were successfully established in vitro, and shoot elongation was markedly improved by supplementing Citrus Shoot Multiplication (CiSM) medium with 1 mg L-1 GA3. Callus induction was most efficient in Citrus Callus Induction (CiCM) medium under dark conditions, while a 48 h NAA pulse (100 µM) significantly enhanced rooting, increasing efficiencies to 37.1% in 'Valencia' and 52.9% in CsH1. Two guide RNAs targeting conserved regions of CsDMR6 were designed and shown to be identical across all evaluated genotypes. The dual-gRNA cassette was assembled into a CRISPR/Cas9 geminivirus-based vector and transiently delivered into sweet orange leaf tissue via Agrobacterium. GFP fluorescence verified construct expression, and PCR amplification across the target region produced a diagnostic ~447 bp fragment corresponding to the expected ~5.8 kb deletion. Sanger sequencing confirmed precise junction formation between the two cut sites. These results demonstrate efficient large-fragment deletion of CsDMR6 in sweet orange and establish an experimentally validated, genotype-compatible regeneration and editing platform. This study provides a transient validation of the dual-gRNA system and establishes the technical foundation required for future stable, non-transgenic edited lines. Together, these advances support the downstream functional evaluation of CsDMR6 loss-of-function alleles under HLB pressure.

A PLA2 deletion mutant using CRISPR/Cas9 coupled to RNASeq reveals insect immune genes associated with eicosanoid signaling.

Eicosanoids mediate insect immune responses and synthesized by the catalytic activity of phospholipase A2 (PLA2). A uniquely encoded secretory PLA2 (sPLA2) is associated with immune responses of a lepidopteran insect, Spodoptera exigua. Its deletion mutant was generated using a CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing technology. Both wild and mutant lines were then immune-challenged, and the resulting transcripts were compared with their naïve transcripts by RNASeq using the Illumina-HiSeq platform. In total, 12,878 unigenes were further analyzed by differentially expressed gene tools. Over 69% of the expressed genes in S. exigua larvae are modulated in their expression levels by eicosanoids, recorded from CRISPR/Cas9 mutagenesis against an eicosanoid-synthetic gene, Se-sPLA2. Further, about 36% of the immune-associated genes are controlled by the eicosanoids in S. exigua. Indeed, the deletion mutant suffered significant immunosuppression in both cellular and humoral responses in response to bacterial challenge as well as severely reduced developmental and reproductive potentials.

Re-arranging the Cis-regulatory Modules of Hox Complex in Drosophila via FLP-FRT and CRISPR/Cas9.

FLP-FRT, a well-established technique for genome manipulation, and the revolutionary CRISPR/Cas9, known for its targeted indels, are combined in a novel approach. This unique method is applied to the Hox genes in the Drosophila melanogaster bithorax complex, which are closely located to the cis-regulatory modules that define their spatial-temporal regulation. The number and position of these genes are directly correlated to their expression pattern. This chapter unveils the exciting potential of this combinatorial use of FLP-FRT and CRISPR-Cas9 to rearrange the cis-regulatory modules of the Hox complex in Drosophila melanogaster.

From Gene Function to Precision Intervention: CRISPR/Cas9 and Stem Cell-Based Strategies as Emerging Disease-Modifying Approaches in PMOS.

Polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS) is a complex endocrine-metabolic disorder affecting up to 18% of women worldwide and remains the leading cause of anovulatory infertility. Despite extensive research, current treatments primarily target symptoms, including menstrual irregularities, hyperandrogenism, and metabolic dysfunction, without addressing the underlying molecular and tissue-level disturbances. Advances in multi‑omic profiling have identified disruptions across neuroendocrine, metabolic, inflammatory, and extracellular matrix pathways, alongside genetic susceptibility at loci such as DENND1A, CYP17A1, LHCGR, FSHR, IRS1, and PPARG. However, the functional roles of many variants remain unresolved. CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing enables precise interrogation of these pathways, while stem cell-based platforms, including mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), exosomes, and gene-edited induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), may serve as complementary platforms for regeneration and disease modeling. Preclinical studies demonstrate that MSCs and their derivatives modulate inflammation, restore ovarian structure, and improve metabolic parameters, while iPSC-based models enable patient-specific investigation of steroidogenic and metabolic abnormalities. Translational challenges remain, including targeted delivery, off-target effects, phenotypic heterogeneity, and regulatory considerations. Integrating CRISPR‑based functional genomics with stem cell research may shift PMOS management from symptom‑focused care to targeted, mechanism‑driven interventions that could modify the course of PMOS (Graphical Abstract).

Multiplexed CRISPR/Cas9 mediated knockdown of BCH gene in potato enhances beta-carotene to combat vitamin A deficiency.

The inadequate amounts of provitamin A carotenoids in crops contribute to the widespread vitamin A deficiency, leading to malnutrition and blindness in humans. Suppression of the β-carotene hydroxylase (BCH) increases β-carotene levels. In the current study, we utilized the multiplexed CRISPR/Cas9 approach by designing three targets against the BCH gene in a local potato cultivar. Transformation efficiency was recorded as 15%, the successful integration of the CRISPR/Cas9-BCH multiplex construct in potatoes was confirmed through PCR. When analysed using TIDE software, Sanger sequencing revealed the highest indel efficacy of 92.1% in plant 7 and 26.6% in plant 1. qRT-PCR (quantitative real-time PCR) analysis indicated a significant 89-fold reduction in BCH transcript levels in genome-edited potato lines compared to control plants. Spectrophotometry demonstrated a notable increase in beta-carotene levels in genome-edited potato plants, ranging from 0.831 µg/mL FW to 4.236 µg/mL FW, compared to the control plant with the lowest beta-carotene concentration (0.344 µg/mL FW). HPLC analysis further confirmed increased beta-carotene levels in genome-edited potato plants, ranging from 0.11 mg/mL FW to 0.36 mg/mL FW, compared to the unmodified control plant with a minimum beta-carotene value of 0.09 mg/mL. Our results revealed that the multiplexed CRISPR-Cas9 approach targeting the BCH gene results in enhanced beta-carotene contents in potato tubers.

A CRISPR/Cas9 mutant resource for OsSm RNA-binding genes in rice.

Pre-mRNA, produced by eukaryotic DNA transcription, undergoes splicing by the spliceosome, which removes introns and joins exons to form mRNA. The spliceosome is a large and highly dynamic molecular machine. Its core components include five small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs) and the various spliceosome-related proteins. The conserved Smith (Sm) complex and the Sm-like proteins (LSm) serve as primary components of the snRNPs. Sm proteins are involved in processes such as pre-mRNA splicing and mRNA degradation, which can regulate gene expression, thereby influencing plant growth, development, and stress responses. While 25 Sm proteins have been identified in rice, their specific roles in regulating rice growth and development remain unclear. In this study, we employed the CRISPR/Cas9 system to edit 15 OsSm genes, and 13 mutants were obtained, with mutation rates ranging from 20.83 to 83.87%. In comparison to the wild type (WT), the mutants exhibited dwarfism, reduced tiller numbers, lower seed-setting rates or sterility, and increased susceptibility to diseases. One Sm mutant, ossmf-2, exhibited dwarfism, delayed flowering, and small grains. Through transcriptome analysis, three target genes, OsMRG702, OsRGG2, and OsLA1, were identified. Mutations of the OsSmF protein may lead to the abnormal splicing of these genes and finally lead to the inhibition of growth and development. Our study first edited the OsSm genes and generated a mutant library in rice. Most of the mutants exhibited abnormal growth and development, underscoring the essential roles of OsSm proteins in rice physiology. Furthermore, this work addresses a critical gap in the functional characterization of Sm proteins in rice. The resulting mutant collection offers valuable germplasm resources and lays a theoretical foundation for elucidating the molecular regulatory networks involving spliceosomal components and their target genes in the control of crop growth, development, and reproduction.

CRISPR/Cas9 screening revealed BIRC6-AS1/BIRC6 mediates abiraterone resistance via NHEJ pathway-dependent A20 degradation in prostate cancer.

Abiraterone acetate is a standard-of-care therapy for prostate cancer (PCa). However, resistance frequently emerges, often characterized by the progression to AR-independent phenotypes. Employing a genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 library screening strategy, we identified 523 long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and 2,183 protein-coding genes as potential candidates associated with abiraterone resistance. Notably, a pair of sense-antisense genes, BIRC6-AS1/BIRC6, was identified as a significant contributor to abiraterone resistance, serving as a critical survival factor in AR-independent contexts. BIRC6-AS1 depletion led to a reduction in both the mRNA and protein levels of BIRC6. Moreover, depletion of either BIRC6-AS1 or BIRC6 enhanced the sensitivity of PCa cells to abiraterone in both in vitro and in vivo settings. Further investigation revealed that BIRC6-AS1 stabilized the mRNA of BIRC6 through interaction with ILF2. Suppression of either BIRC6-AS1 or BIRC6 attenuated non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) repair activity, resulting in the disassembly of 53BP1 foci at DNA damage sites and an increased accumulation of DNA damage, thereby exposing a vulnerability in AR-independent resistant cells. Mechanistically, BIRC6 interacted with A20 and facilitated the K48-linked ubiquitination and subsequent degradation of A20 at the K337 residue. Additionally, A20 knockdown effectively reversed the abiraterone sensitivity induced by BIRC6-AS1 depletion. Collectively, our study provides a landscape of lncRNAs and protein-coding genes associated with abiraterone resistance and suggests that targeting the BIRC6-AS1/BIRC6 axis represents a potential therapeutic strategy to eradicate AR-independent resistant tumors in prostate cancer.

Leveraging protein language models for cross-variant CRISPR/Cas9 sgRNA activity prediction.

MOTIVATION: Accurate prediction of single-guide RNA (sgRNA) activity is crucial for optimizing the CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing system, as it directly influences the efficiency and accuracy of genome modifications. However, existing prediction methods mainly rely on large-scale experimental data of a single Cas9 variant to construct Cas9 protein (variants)-specific sgRNA activity prediction models, which limits their generalization ability and prediction performance across different Cas9 protein (variants), as well as their scalability to the continuously discovered new variants. RESULTS: In this study, we proposed PLM-CRISPR, a novel deep learning-based model that leverages protein language models to capture Cas9 protein (variants) representations for cross-variant sgRNA activity prediction. PLM-CRISPR uses tailored feature extraction modules for both sgRNA and protein sequences, incorporating a cross-variant training strategy and a dynamic feature fusion mechanism to effectively model their interactions. Extensive experiments demonstrate that PLM-CRISPR outperforms existing methods across datasets spanning seven Cas9 protein (variants) in three real-world scenarios, demonstrating its superior performance in handling data-scarce situations, including cases with few or no samples for novel variants. Comparative analyses with traditional machine learning and deep learning models further confirm the effectiveness of PLM-CRISPR. Additionally, motif analysis reveals that PLM-CRISPR accurately identifies high-activity sgRNA sequence patterns across diverse Cas9 protein (variants). Overall, PLM-CRISPR provides a robust, scalable, and generalizable solution for sgRNA activity prediction across diverse Cas9 protein (variants).

CRISPR/Cas9 loss-of-function screen in a neuronal model of AP-4 deficiency identifies ATG9A trafficking modulators.

Biallelic loss-of-function variants in adaptor protein complex 4 (AP-4) disrupt trafficking of transmembrane proteins at the trans-Golgi network, including autophagy-related protein 9A (ATG9A), leading to childhood-onset hereditary spastic paraplegia (AP-4-HSP). AP-4-HSP is characterized by features of both a neurodevelopmental and a degenerative neurological disease. To investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying AP-4-HSP and identify potential therapeutic targets, we conducted an arrayed CRISPR/Cas9 loss-of-function screen of 8,478 genes, targeting the "druggable genome," in a human neuronal model of AP-4 deficiency. Through this phenotypic screen and subsequent experiments, key modulators of ATG9A trafficking were identified, and complementary pathway analyses provided insights into the regulatory landscape of ATG9A transport. Knockdown of ANPEP and NPM1 enhanced ATG9A availability outside the trans-Golgi network, suggesting that they regulate ATG9A localization. These findings deepen our understanding of ATG9A trafficking in the context of AP-4 deficiency and offer a framework for the development of targeted interventions for AP-4-HSP.

Fast Fission Yeast Genome Editing by CRISPR/Cas9 Using Gap Repair and Fluoride Selection.

We present a protocol to perform CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe that does not require cloning and uses the fluoride exporter channel Fex1 as the selection marker. Transformation is typically carried out on the same day of PCR primer arrival and successfully edited strains are selected 5 days after transformation. We expect the adoption of this protocol to further accelerate the throughput of genome editing in S. pombe.

Functional Motif Discovery in FOXO1 Through CRISPR/Cas9 Exon Tiling Scan.

The study of FOXO1, a pivotal transcription factor, has garnered significant attention due to its critical role in diverse cellular processes, including lineage differentiation, apoptosis, cell cycle regulation, and metabolism. To comprehensively understand the functional intricacies of FOXO1, an innovative approach is essential. This chapter highlights employing CRISPR exon scanning as a strategic tool to dissect the functional domains of FOXO1 and unravel its diverse regulatory functions. CRISPR exon scan allows for the identification of functionally important domains based on the levels of sgRNA depletion or enrichment within the FOXO1 gene, providing a unique opportunity to investigate the domain function under relevant biological contexts. This approach enables the systematic exploration of FOXO1's structural domains, shedding light on how distinct regions contribute to its overall function. The comprehensive exon scan analysis using CRISPR technology allows gaining a nuanced understanding of FOXO1's functional diversity and regulatory mechanisms.

CRISPGen: A deep generative framework for multi-objective CRISPR/Cas9 guide RNA design via Conditional Latent Diffusion and Dual-Critic Reinforcement Learning.

MOTIVATION: The CRISPR-Cas9 system offers transformative potential for precision genome editing, yet its clinical translation remains constrained by the risk of unintended off-target double-strand breaks. While current discriminative models excel at evaluating pre-specified candidate guides, resolving the fundamental antagonism between on-target cleavage efficiency and off-target specificity within a fixed sequence search space remains a major challenge. RESULTS: We present CRISPGen, a unified deep generative framework that reframes sgRNA design as a multi-objective constrained sequence synthesis problem. It integrates (i) DNABERT-2 genomic-language embeddings, (ii) a conditional latent diffusion generator conditioned on a user-specified on-target efficiency target, and (iii) a dual-critic reinforcement-learning (RL) stage that couples a frozen on-target efficiency critic with a cross-attention off-target discriminator (validation Pearson R=0.8157) trained on a unified corpus of experimental off-target events from six detection platforms. Across 1000 generated sgRNAs, CRISPGen reduces the mean off-target discriminator score by 99.7% relative to the pre-RL baseline and, under an exhaustive whole-genome screen of all 302,631,056 NGG PAM sites in GRCh38, yields zero perfect-match and only 55 one-mismatch genomic hits. We further show, transparently, that the internal on-target critic saturates under RL optimization - an instance of Goodhart's Law - and therefore assess on-target viability using an independent external CRISPRon screen (mean 47.10/100). Repeating the RL fine-tuning stage under three random seeds (with the diffusion generator, DNABERT-2 embeddings, and off-target discriminator held fixed) yields a stable operating point across seeds. Full diversity, per-mismatch, and reproducibility statistics are reported in the Results. AVAILABILITY: Source code is available at https://github.com/malekpouri/CRISPGen; the pre-trained checkpoints and the 3,000,000-sequence library are hosted on Hugging Face (https://huggingface.co/malekpouri/CRISPGen-Checkpoints) and archived on Zenodo under DOI 10.5281/zenodo.21428641.
