Microbe-induced gene silencing of fungal gene confers efficient resistance against Fusarium graminearum in maize.

UNLABELLED: Small RNAs (sRNAs), the main effectors of RNA interference (or RNA silencing, RNAi), mediate cell-autonomous and non-cell-autonomous gene silencing. The discoveries of trans-kingdom RNAi and interspecies RNAi have accelerated the development of RNAi-based crop protection technologies. Recently, based on interspecies RNAi, a practical technology termed microbe-induced gene silencing (MIGS) without the need of host genetic modification is developed for crop protection against Verticillium dahliae and Fusarium oxysporum in cotton and rice plants. In this study, we utilized MIGS technology to protect maize against Fusarium graminearum, which is responsible for maize stalk rot. An RNAi-engineered Trichoderma harzianum strain, Th-FgPmt2i, was exploited to generate double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) to trigger the silencing of the FgPTM2 gene. Our data verify that sRNAs generated from Th-FgPmt2i can silence the FgPMT2 gene via translational inhibition in F. graminearum. We further demonstrated that Th-FgPmt2i has a stronger capacity than does the T. harzianum chassis for protection of maize against F. graminearum. Coupled with our studies on crop protection against V. dahliae and F. oxysporum, our findings reveal that MIGS can be exploited to protect various crops against distinct fungal pathogens and has extensive applicability.

Spray-induced gene silencing for disease control is dependent on the efficiency of pathogen RNA uptake.

Recent discoveries show that fungi can take up environmental RNA, which can then silence fungal genes through environmental RNA interference. This discovery prompted the development of Spray-Induced Gene Silencing (SIGS) for plant disease management. In this study, we aimed to determine the efficacy of SIGS across a variety of eukaryotic microbes. We first examined the efficiency of RNA uptake in multiple pathogenic and non-pathogenic fungi, and an oomycete pathogen. We observed efficient double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) uptake in the fungal plant pathogens Botrytis cinerea, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, Rhizoctonia solani, Aspergillus niger and Verticillium dahliae, but no uptake in Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, and weak uptake in a beneficial fungus, Trichoderma virens. For the oomycete plant pathogen, Phytophthora infestans, RNA uptake was limited and varied across different cell types and developmental stages. Topical application of dsRNA targeting virulence-related genes in pathogens with high RNA uptake efficiency significantly inhibited plant disease symptoms, whereas the application of dsRNA in pathogens with low RNA uptake efficiency did not suppress infection. Our results have revealed that dsRNA uptake efficiencies vary across eukaryotic microbe species and cell types. The success of SIGS for plant disease management can largely be determined by the pathogen's RNA uptake efficiency.

Mutation in THO2, a component of THO/TREX complex, causes transcriptional gene silencing and genome-wide DNA methylation changes.

DNA methylation plays important roles in silencing of transgenes, endogenous genes, and transposable elements (TEs). To identify genes involved in antagonizing transcriptional or DNA hypermethylation-induced gene silencing, a genetic screening was conducted and thus a tho2-8 mutant was recovered. THO2 is a major component of the THO/TREX (Transcription-Export) complex, which plays essential roles in mRNA export. The tho2-8 mutation caused overaccumulation of DNA methylation on a d35S promoter ahead of LUC, suggesting its roles in antisilencing of transgenes. This mutation also resulted in significant genome-wide alterations in DNA methylation in a locus-specific manner, including 2513 hyper-DMRs and 1717 hypo-DMRs. The hyper-DMRs in the tho2-8 mutant not only exhibited a considerable overlap with those in DNA demethylation mutants (like ros1-7), but also with hypo-DMRs from nrpd1-3 and nrpe1-11 mutants, demonstrating that THO2 is able to protect those loci targeted by DNA demethylation and/or RdDM pathways from hypermethylation. The tho2-8 mutant also contained a plethora of CHH hypo-DMRs, which overlapped in large numbers with those from the nrpd1-3 and nrpe1-11 mutants, indicating that THO2 is required for the establishment/maintenance of DNA methylation at many loci. Additionally, the tho2-8 mutation caused an increase in overall 24-nt siRNA levels and many upregulated and downregulated DEGs/DETEs. The effects of THO2 on DNA methylation patterns appeared to be associated with the functioning of Pol IV and Pol V because THO2 physically interacted with NRPD7 and was necessary for normal accumulation levels of several Pol V-dependent IGNs' transcripts. Thus, this study provided valuable insights into new roles of THO2 in DNA methylation patterning.

CRISPRoff epigenome editing for programmable gene silencing in human cell lines and primary T cells.

The advent of CRISPR-based technologies has enabled the rapid advancement of programmable gene manipulation in cells, tissues, and whole organisms. An emerging platform for targeted gene perturbation is epigenetic editing, the direct editing of chemical modifications on DNA and histones that ultimately results in repression or activation of the targeted gene. In contrast to CRISPR nucleases, epigenetic editors modulate gene expression without inducing DNA breaks or altering the genomic sequence of host cells. Recently, we developed the CRISPRoff epigenetic editing technology that simultaneously establishes DNA methylation and repressive histone modifications at targeted gene promoters. Transient expression of CRISPRoff and the accompanying single guide RNAs in mammalian cells results in transcriptional repression of targeted genes that is memorized heritably by cells through cell division and differentiation. Here, we describe our protocol for the delivery of CRISPRoff through plasmid DNA transfection, as well as the delivery of CRISPRoff mRNA, into transformed human cell lines and primary immune cells. We also provide guidance on evaluating target gene silencing and highlight key considerations when utilizing CRISPRoff for gene perturbations. Our protocols are broadly applicable to other CRISPR-based epigenetic editing technologies, as programmable genome manipulation tools continue to evolve rapidly.

Virus-induced gene silencing as a tool for functional genomics in weeds: Challenges and future directions.

Virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) has evolved from a conceptual demonstration of antiviral defense into a pivotal reverse-genetics platform for plant functional genomics. By exploiting engineered DNA- or RNA-based viral vectors, VIGS enables rapid, sequence-specific transcript knockdown through RNA-mediated degradation of target transcripts. Recent refinements in vector design, inoculation strategies, and viral species selection, such as TRV, BSMV, and FoMV, have expanded its application to previously recalcitrant plants, including major crops and emerging weed models. In weeds, functional genomics remains particularly challenging due to high genetic variability, limited genomic resources, and incompatibility with conventional viral vectors and transformation systems. In this context, VIGS provides a tractable approach to investigate genes associated with herbicide resistance, metabolic adaptation, and stress tolerance. Beyond weed biology, its application to studies of immune signaling, hormonal crosstalk, and secondary metabolism highlights VIGS as a versatile biotechnology for elucidating gene function and supporting next-generation strategies in plant improvement and integrated pest management.

Gene duplication in tetraploid fish: model for gene silencing at unlinked duplicated loci.

Several groups of fishes, including salmonids and catastomids, appear to have originated through genome duplication events. However, these two groups retain approximately 50% of the loci examined as functioning duplicates, despite the passage of 50 million years or more of mutation and selection. Although other effects are not excluded, this apparently slow rate of duplicate silencing can be explained in terms of the effects of selection against defective double homozygotes to unlinked duplicates. We have derived a computer simulation of genetic drift that affords direct evaluation of the effects of population size (N), mutation rate (micron), initial allele frequencies, back mutation, fitness, and time on the probability of fixation for null alleles at unlinked duplicate loci. The results show that this probability is approximately linearly related to population size for N greater than or equal to 10(3). Specifically, for naive populations, the time for 50% probability of gene silencing is approximately equal to 15N + micron-3/4 generations. The retention of 50% of the loci as functional duplicates may therefore result from the large effective size of salmonid and catastomid populations. The results also show that, under most conditions for populations of 2000--3000 or larger, unlinked duplicate loci will be sustained in the functional state longer than tandem (linked) duplicates and hence are available for evolution of new functions for a longer time.

Design of optimized epigenetic regulators for durable gene silencing with application to PCSK9 in nonhuman primates.

Epigenetic editing is a promising strategy for modifying gene expression while avoiding the permanent alterations and potential genotoxicity of genome-editing technologies. Here we designed optimized epigenetic regulators (EpiRegs) by testing combinations of transcription activator-like effector (TALE)-based and catalytically deactivated Cas9 (dCas9)-based epigenetic modification effectors and fusion protein structures. TALE-based EpiReg (EpiReg-T) achieved a final efficiency of 98% in mice, surpassing the initial dCas9-based efficiency of 64%. We demonstrated the approach in macaques by introducing DNA methylation and histone modifications to inhibit proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) expression, thereby lowering low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. A single dose of EpiReg-T delivered with lipid nanoparticles achieved efficient (>90%) and long-lasting (343 days) silencing of PCSK9 in the liver. Integrative multiomic analyses revealed minimal off-target effects in EpiReg-T-treated monkeys, mice and human-derived cells. EpiReg can be redirected to other genes by reengineering the DNA-binding domain. Our findings represent a step toward the clinical application of epigenetic editing for the treatment of human diseases.

Validation and Optimization of Breeding Strategy for miR-141/200c Knockout Mice to Eliminate Off-Target Gene Silencing using FLPo Deleter.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) of the miR-200 family specifically miR-141 and miR-200c regulate neurogenesis, differentiation, and epithelial-mesenchymal transitions in development and several diseases including cancer and stroke. The STOCK Mirc13tm1Mtm /Mmjax mouse line, which targets the miR-141/200c cluster, was originally generated and described by Park et al. 2012 as a conditional "knockout-first" allele requiring a two-step breeding strategy: FLP recombination to excise lacZ/neo cassettes followed by Cre recombination to delete the floxed miRNA cluster (1). However, subsequent studies either bypassed this step and reported knockouts based on direct crosses with Cre mouse lines, leaving residual lacZ/neo sequences that may silence upstream elements or introduce transcriptional artifacts or rare studies used less efficient FLPe Deleter mice. Here, we present a detailed and refined strategy to conditional miR-141/200c knockouts mice using FLPo Deleter mice to efficiently eliminate lacZ/neo cassettes. Our approach not only confirmed complete deletion of miR-141 and miR-200c in various organs such olfactory bulbs and lungs where these miRNAs are robustly expressed using various approach such as genotyping qPCR validation and in situ hybridization but showed that without the use of FLPo deleter mice deletion of miR-141/200c cluster amy also lead to loss of several close proximity physiologically important genes such as ptpn6, phb2, atn1 and eno1. By restoring a clean floxed allele using FLPo deleter mice prior to Cre deletion, we establish a reliable and interpretable mouse model for dissecting the roles of the miR-141/200c cluster miRNA in various disease models.

Substitutions of nucleotides at the 3' ends of COL6A1/2/3 exons induce exon skipping associated with collagen VI-related muscular dystrophies and therapeutic strategies.

PURPOSE: Collagen VI-related muscular dystrophies, characterized by proximal muscle weakness and joint contractures, are caused by pathogenic variants in the genes, COL6A1 to COL6A3. A monoallelic variant at the last nucleotide of a COL6A1 exon was initially classified as a missense variant but acted as a splicing variant, resulting in exon skipping. Here, we evaluated whether single-nucleotide variants at the 3'-ends of COL6A1 to COL6A3 exons cause aberrant splicing. METHODS: Ten relevant variants were identified in patients from our repository or public databases, and their muscle COL6A1 to COL6A3 transcripts were analyzed. The effects of the variants on splicing were also analyzed by minigene assay and SpliceAI in silico prediction. RESULTS: Transcripts from muscles of individuals with suspected collagen VI-related phenotypes showed exon skipping (skipping rate >12%). Findings of minigene assay and in silico prediction experiments supported these findings. Two therapeutic approaches, splicing correction of pre-messenger RNA or gene silencing of mature messenger RNA were assessed. Among them, gene silencing using short interfering RNAs targeting the skipped transcripts proved to be effective in restoring collagen VI in cells containing the pathogenic variant. CONCLUSION: Single-nucleotide variants at the 3'-ends of exons can lead to aberrant splicing, and allele-specific gene silencing targeting such variants is a promising therapeutic strategy.

Engineering extracellular vesicles for targeted siRNA delivery: Advances, therapeutic applications, and clinical translation.

Small interfering RNA (siRNA) therapeutics have emerged as a transformative approach for sequence-specific gene silencing, offering the potential to treat a broad spectrum of diseases by selectively suppressing disease-associated genes. However, the clinical translation of siRNA remains limited by rapid enzymatic degradation, poor cellular uptake, inadequate endosomal escape, and off-target effects, necessitating the development of efficient delivery systems. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have gained considerable attention as natural nanocarriers owing to their excellent biocompatibility, low immunogenicity, intrinsic targeting capability, and ability to protect therapeutic cargo while traversing complex biological barriers. This review comprehensively discusses the biological characteristics of EVs, the molecular basis of RNA interference, and the major challenges associated with siRNA delivery [Fig. 1]. Recent advances in EV engineering, including cargo-loading strategies such as electroporation, sonication, extrusion, parent-cell engineering, and microfluidic approaches, together with surface functionalization using peptides, antibodies, aptamers, and hybrid nanoplatforms, are critically evaluated for improving targeting specificity and intracellular delivery. Furthermore, the therapeutic applications of engineered EV-mediated siRNA delivery in cancer, neurological disorders, liver diseases, cardiovascular diseases, inflammatory disorders, and infectious diseases are systematically summarized, highlighting their potential to enhance gene silencing while minimizing systemic toxicity. Current challenges related to large-scale manufacturing, cargo-loading efficiency, standardization, quality control, regulatory approval, and clinical translation are also discussed, together with emerging technologies involving synthetic biology, genome engineering, artificial intelligence, and multifunctional hybrid vesicles. Overall, engineered extracellular vesicles represent a highly versatile and biologically inspired platform for targeted siRNA delivery, providing a promising foundation for the development of next-generation precision RNA therapeutics and accelerating the clinical translation of gene-silencing strategies.

PTGS is dispensable for the initiation of epigenetic silencing of an active transposon in Arabidopsis.

Transposable elements (TEs) are repressed in plants through transcriptional gene silencing (TGS), maintained epigenetic silencing marks such as DNA methylation. However, the mechanisms by which silencing is first installed remain poorly understood in plants. Small interfering (si)RNAs and post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS) are believed to mediate the initiation of TGS by guiding the first deposition of DNA methylation. To determine how this silencing installation works, we took advantage of ÉVADÉ (EVD), an endogenous retroelement in Arabidopsis, able to recapitulate true de novo silencing with a sequence of PTGS followed by a TGS. To test whether PTGS is required for TGS, we introduce active EVD into RNA-DEPENDENT-RNA-POLYMERASE-6 (RDR6) mutants, an essential PTGS component. EVD activity and silencing are monitored across several generations. In the absence of PTGS, silencing of EVD is still achieved through installation of RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM). Our study shows that PTGS is dispensable for de novo EVD silencing. Although we cannot rule out that PTGS might facilitate TGS, or control TE activity, initiation of epigenetic silencing can take place in its absence.

Rs_MEP1 Is Required for the Pathogenesis of Rhizoctonia solani AG1-IA in Plants.

Rhizoctonia solani AG1-IA is a polyphagous necrotrophic fungal pathogen that causes sheath blight disease in rice. Efforts are being made to identify pathogenicity-associated genes in R. solani and modulate them to develop a disease control strategy. Here, we investigated the roles of some predicted pathogenicity-associated genes of R. solani that have previously been reported to be upregulated during infection in rice. The tobacco rattle virus-based host-induced gene silencing of the selected pathogenicity-associated genes revealed that silencing of Rs_MEP1, a zinc-containing Peptidase_M43 domain metalloprotease, severely compromises R. solani infection in tomato. Moreover, double-stranded RNA-mediated silencing of Rs_MEP1 prevented R. solani infection in rice. The signal sequence trap assay indicated the secretory nature of Rs_MEP1, and the reporter assay suggested its localization in the plant apoplast. Notably, Agrobacterium-mediated transient overexpression of Rs_MEP1 induces necrotic cell death responses in plants. We provide evidence that Rs_MEP1 interacts with the GH19 family of rice chitinases and potentially modulates their functions. Overall, our study emphasizes that Rs_MEP1 facilitates R. solani in promoting necrotic responses and targets rice GH19 chitinases to impart disease susceptibility in plants.

Integrated epigenetic and genetic programming of primary human T cells.

Targeted epigenetic engineering of gene expression in cell therapies would allow programming of desirable phenotypes without many of the challenges and safety risks associated with double-strand break-based genetic editing approaches. Here, we develop an all-RNA platform for efficient, durable and multiplexed epigenetic programming in primary human T cells, stably turning endogenous genes off or on using CRISPRoff and CRISPRon epigenetic editors. We achieve epigenetic programming of diverse targeted genomic elements without the need for sustained expression of CRISPR systems. CRISPRoff-mediated gene silencing is maintained through numerous cell divisions, T cell stimulations and in vivo adoptive transfer, avoiding cytotoxicity or chromosomal abnormalities inherent to multiplexed Cas9-mediated genome editing. Lastly, we successfully combined genetic and epigenetic engineering using orthogonal CRISPR Cas12a-dCas9 systems for targeted chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) knock-in and CRISPRoff silencing of therapeutically relevant genes to improve preclinical CAR-T cell-mediated in vivo tumor control and survival.

MDR1 DNA glycosylase regulates the expression of genomically imprinted genes and Helitrons.

Targeted demethylation by DNA glycosylases (DNGs) results in differential methylation between parental alleles in the endosperm, which drives imprinted expression. Here, we performed RNA sequencing on endosperm derived from DNG mutant mdr1 and wild-type (WT) endosperm. Consistent with the role of DNA methylation in gene silencing, we find 108 genes and 96 TEs differentially expressed (DE) transcripts that lost expression in the hypermethylated mdr1 mutant. Compared with other endosperm transcripts, the mdr1 targets are enriched for TEs (particularly Helitrons), and DE genes are depleted for both core genes and GO term assignments, suggesting that the majority of DE transcripts are TEs and pseudo-genes. By comparing DE genes to imprinting calls from prior studies, we find that the majority of DE genes have maternally biased expression, and approximately half of all maternally expressed genes (MEGs) are DE in this study. In contrast, no paternally expressed genes (PEGs) are DE. DNG-dependent imprinted genes are distinguished by maternal demethylation and expression primarily in the endosperm, so we also performed Enzymatic Methyl-seq on hybrids to identify maternal demethylation and utilized a W22 gene expression atlas to identify genes expressed primarily in the endosperm. Overall, approximately ⅔ of all MEGs show evidence of regulation by DNGs. Taken together, this study solidifies the role of MDR1 in the regulation of maternally expressed, imprinted genes and TEs and identifies subsets of genes with DNG-independent imprinting regulation.

Genome-Wide Identification of the R2R3-MYB Gene Family in Solanum americanum and Functional Analysis of Its Role in Fruit Coloration.

Anthocyanins are key secondary metabolites responsible for fruit coloration in plants, and their biosynthesis is largely regulated by R2R3-MYB transcription factors. However, the R2R3-MYB regulators controlling fruit anthocyanin accumulation in wild Solanum species remain poorly understood. Here, Solanum americanum was used to identify candidate R2R3-MYB genes associated with fruit coloration through genome-wide identification, phylogenetic analysis, synteny analysis, expression profiling, and virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS). A total of 122 SaMYB genes were identified, and phylogenetic analysis revealed that SaMYB proteins clustered with Arabidopsis thaliana R2R3-MYB members in conserved subgroups, suggesting evolutionary conservation of this family. Synteny analysis identified 37 syntenic gene pairs among SaMYB genes, and the Ka/Ks values of all analyzable gene pairs were below 1, indicating that these duplicated genes are subject to functional constraint. Integrated analysis of phylogenetic relationships, protein structures, promoter cis-elements, and fruit developmental expression patterns identified SaMYB59 and SaMYB106 as candidate regulators of anthocyanin accumulation. VIGS analysis demonstrated that silencing SaMYB106 reduced purple coloration, decreased anthocyanin content, and downregulated the expression of the structural gene DFR. These results indicate that SaMYB106 functions as a positive regulator of fruit anthocyanin accumulation in S. americanum. This study provides insights into the molecular basis of fruit coloration in wild Solanum species.

MEIS1 knockdown upregulates WNT signaling pathway genes in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

BACKGROUND: The transcription factor MEIS1 belongs to the 3-amino acid loop extension (TALE) family of homeodomain proteins which plays various functions in normal and tumor cell progression. The canonical WNT/β-catenin pathway governs a plethora of biological processes including cell proliferation, differentiation, and tumor development. In the present study, the effect of MEIS1 gene silencing was assessed on WNT pathway genes in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Along with the packaging plasmids, the pLKO.1-MEIS1 plasmid was cotransfected into HEK293T to generate lentiviral particles, followed by transduction of a semi-confluent KYSE-30 cell culture. After total RNA extraction and cDNA synthesis, comparative real-time PCR was applied to assess the efficiency of MEIS1 knockdown and the expression of genes related to the WNT signaling pathway. RESULTS: The results revealed effective downregulation of MEIS1 in KYSE-30 cells. Interestingly, MEIS1 silencing led to a substantial overexpression of WNT pathway key components while the expression of negative regulators of this pathway was substantially decreased. CONCLUSIONS: Our data suggest that MEIS1 gene probably induces WNT/β-catenin pathway deactivation in ESCC cells. Consequently, the inverse correlation of MEIS1 expression and WNT signaling pathway activation may introduce a new molecular linkage through ESCC progression and aggressiveness.

Omics approaches to unravel insecticide resistance mechanism in Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae).

Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) whitefly (BtWf) is an invasive pest that has already spread worldwide and caused major crop losses. Numerous strategies have been implemented to control their infestation, including the use of insecticides. However, prolonged insecticide exposures have evolved BtWf to resist these chemicals. Such resistance mechanism is known to be regulated at the molecular level and systems biology omics approaches could shed some light on understanding this regulation wholistically. In this review, we discuss the use of various omics techniques (genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics) to unravel the mechanism of insecticide resistance in BtWf. We summarize key genes, enzymes, and metabolic regulation that are associated with the resistance mechanism and review their impact on BtWf resistance. Evidently, key enzymes involved in the detoxification system such as cytochrome P450 (CYP), glutathione S-transferases (GST), carboxylesterases (COE), UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGT), and ATP binding cassette transporters (ABC) family played key roles in the resistance. These genes/proteins can then serve as the foundation for other targeted techniques, such as gene silencing techniques using RNA interference and CRISPR. In the future, such techniques will be useful to knock down detoxifying genes and crucial neutralizing enzymes involved in the resistance mechanism, which could lead to solutions for coping against BtWf infestation.
