Wildlife diseases are a considerable threat to human health, conservation, and the economy. Surveillance is a critical component to mitigate the impact of animal diseases in these sectors. To monitor human diseases, CRISPR-Cas (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats-CRISPR-associated protein) biosensors have proven instrumental as diagnostic tools capable of detecting unique DNA and RNA sequences related to their associated pathogens. However, despite the significant advances in the general development of CRISPR-Cas biosensors, their use to support wildlife disease management is lagging. In some cases, wildlife diseases of concern could be rapidly surveyed using these tools with minimal technical, operational, or cost requirements to end users. This review explores the potential to further leverage this technology to advance wildlife disease monitoring and highlights how concerted standardization of protocols can help to ensure data reliability.

野生动物疾病对人类健康、自然保护和经济都构成了巨大威胁。监测是减轻动物疾病对这些领域影响的关键组成部分。为了监测人类疾病,CRISPR-Cas(成簇的有规则间隔短回文重复序列-CRISPR 相关蛋白)生物传感器已被证明是一种诊断工具,能够检测与相关病原体有关的独特 DNA 和 RNA 序列。然而,尽管 CRISPR-Cas 生物传感器的总体发展取得了重大进展,但其在支持野生动物疾病管理方面的应用仍然滞后。在某些情况下,使用这些工具可以快速调查受关注的野生动物疾病,对最终用户的技术、操作或成本要求极低。本综述探讨了进一步利用该技术推进野生动物疾病监测的潜力,并强调了协调一致的标准化协议如何有助于确保数据的可靠性。

Candida albicans, an opportunistic fungal pathogen, causes severe infections in immunocompromised individuals. Limited classes and overuse of current antifungals have led to the rapid emergence of antifungal resistance. Thus, there is an urgent need to understand fungal pathogen genetics to develop new antifungal strategies. Genetic manipulation of C. albicans is encumbered by its diploid chromosomes requiring editing both alleles to elucidate gene function. Although the recent development of CRISPR-Cas systems has facilitated genome editing in C. albicans, large-scale and multiplexed functional genomic studies are still hindered by the necessity of cotransforming repair templates for homozygous knockouts. Here, we present CRISPR-GRIT (Guide RNAs with Integrated Repair Templates), a repair template-integrated guide RNA design for expedited gene knockouts and multiplexed gene editing in C. albicans. We envision that this method can be used for high-throughput library screens and identification of synthetic lethal pairs in both C. albicans and other diploid organisms with strong homologous recombination machinery.

白色念珠菌是一种机会性真菌病原体,会对免疫力低下的人造成严重感染。目前抗真菌药物的种类有限和过度使用导致抗真菌抗药性迅速出现。因此,迫切需要了解真菌病原体的遗传学,以开发新的抗真菌策略。白僵菌的遗传操作受到其二倍体染色体的限制,需要编辑两个等位基因来阐明基因功能。尽管最近 CRISPR-Cas 系统的发展促进了白僵菌的基因组编辑,但大规模和多重功能基因组研究仍然受到同源基因敲除必须共转化修复模板的阻碍。在这里,我们提出了 CRISPR-GRIT(带有整合修复模板的引导 RNA),这是一种整合了修复模板的引导 RNA 设计,用于加速白僵菌的基因敲除和多重基因编辑。我们设想这种方法可用于高通量文库筛选,并在白僵菌和其他具有强大同源重组机制的二倍体生物中鉴定合成致死对。

Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-CRISPR-associated protein (Cas) technology has revolutionized genome editing across various biological systems, including the Apicomplexa phylum. This review describes the status, challenges, and applications of CRISPR-Cas9 editing technology in apicomplexan parasites, such as Plasmodium, Toxoplasma, Theileria, Babesia, and Cryptosporidium. The discussion encompasses successfully implemented CRISPR-Cas9-based techniques in these parasites, highlighting the achieved milestones, from precise gene modifications to genome-wide screening. In addition, the review addresses the challenges hampering efficient genome editing, including the parasites' complex life cycles, multiple intracellular stages, and the lack of robust genetic tools. It further explores the ethical and policy considerations surrounding genome editing and the future perspectives of CRISPR-Cas applications in apicomplexan parasites.

Background: Melanoma remains one of the most challenging cancers to treat effectively with drug resistant remaining a constant concern, primarily with activating BRAF mutations. Mutations in the BRAF gene appear in approximately 50% of patients, 90% of which are V600E. Two frontline BRAF inhibitors (BRAFi), vemurafenib and dabrafenib, are frequently used to treat unresectable or metastatic BRAF V600E melanoma. Initial response rates are high, but soon thereafter, 70-80% of patients develop resistance to treatment within a year. A major mechanism of resistance is the generation of a secondary Q61K mutation in the NRAS gene. Methods: We have developed an approach in which a CRISPR-Cas complex can be designed to distinguish between mutant genes enabling resistance to standard care in tumor cells and normal genomes of healthy cells. For the first time, we demonstrated the utility of two CRISPR-directed mutation-specific editing approaches to restore BRAFi sensitivity in BRAFV600E/NRASQ61K resistant A375 cells. Results: We utilize an AsCas12a protospacer adjacent motif site created by the NRAS Q61K mutation and the Q61K mutation in the critical seed region of an SaCas9 sgRNA for Q61K-selective targeting. We show here that both approaches allow for effective NRAS targeting of only mutated-Q61K and after CRISPR-directed Q61K-targeting, previously resistant A375 cells are re-sensitized to BRAFi treatment. Conclusion: Our data support the feasibility of the development of CRISPR-Cas therapeutic approaches to the treatment of melanoma. Successful therapeutic CRISPR-directed gene editing would enable both specific and efficient editing of a mutation-specific targeting approach eliminate concern for on- and off-target damage to the genomes of healthy cells.

背景:黑色素瘤仍然是最难有效治疗的癌症之一,耐药性始终是一个令人担忧的问题,主要是活化的 BRAF 基因突变。约50%的患者会出现BRAF基因突变,其中90%为V600E。两种一线 BRAF 抑制剂(BRAFi),即维莫非尼(vemurafenib)和达拉菲尼(dabrafenib),常用于治疗不可切除或转移性 BRAF V600E 黑色素瘤。最初的应答率很高,但不久之后,70%-80%的患者会在一年内产生耐药性。耐药的一个主要机制是 NRAS 基因产生了二次 Q61K 突变。方法:我们开发了一种方法,通过设计 CRISPR-Cas 复合物来区分肿瘤细胞中对标准治疗产生耐药性的突变基因和健康细胞的正常基因组。我们首次展示了两种 CRISPR 引导的突变特异性编辑方法在 BRAFV600E/NRASQ61K 耐药的 A375 细胞中恢复 BRAFi 敏感性的实用性。结果:我们利用NRAS Q61K突变产生的AsCas12a原位相邻基序位点和SaCas9 sgRNA关键种子区的Q61K突变进行Q61K选择性靶向。我们在此表明,这两种方法都能有效靶向仅突变 Q61K 的 NRAS,而且在 CRISPR 引导的 Q61K 靶向后,之前耐药的 A375 细胞对 BRAFi 治疗重新敏感。结论我们的数据支持开发 CRISPR-Cas 治疗黑色素瘤方法的可行性。成功的治疗性CRISPR定向基因编辑可实现对突变特异性靶向方法的特异性和高效编辑,消除对健康细胞基因组的靶上和靶下损伤的担忧。

Lentiviral vectors (LVs) are crucial tools in gene therapy and bioproduction, but high-yield LV production systems are urgently needed. Using clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-CRISPR-associated protein 9 high-throughput screening, we identified nine critical genes (LDAH, GBP3, BPIFC, NHLRC1, NHLRC3, ZNF425, TTC37, LRRC4B, and SPINK6) from 17,501 genes that limit LV packaging and formation. Knocking out these genes in HEK293T cells significantly increased virus production, with LDAH knockout exhibiting a 6.63-fold increase. Studies on multigene knockouts demonstrated that the cumulative effects of different gene knockouts can significantly enhance lentivirus production in HEK293T cells. Triple knockout of GBP3, BPIFC, and LDAH increased LV titer by ∼8.33-fold, and knockout (or knockdown) of GBP3, NHLRC1, and NHLRC3 increased LV titer by ∼6.53-fold. This study established HEK293T cell lines with multiple genes knockout for efficient LV production, providing reliable technical support for LV production and application and offering new perspectives for studying LV packaging mechanisms and related virus research.

慢病毒载体(LV)是基因治疗和生物生产的重要工具,但目前急需高产的 LV 生产系统。利用聚类规则间隔短回文重复序列(CRISPR)-CRISPR相关蛋白9高通量筛选,我们从17501个基因中发现了9个限制LV包装和形成的关键基因(LDAH、GBP3、BPIFC、NHLRC1、NHLRC3、ZNF425、TTC37、LRRC4B和SPINK6)。在 HEK293T 细胞中敲除这些基因可显著提高病毒产量,其中 LDAH 基因敲除的产量提高了 6.63 倍。对多基因敲除的研究表明,不同基因敲除的累积效应可显著提高 HEK293T 细胞中慢病毒的产量。GBP3、BPIFC和LDAH的三重基因敲除使LV滴度增加了8.33倍,GBP3、NHLRC1和NHLRC3的基因敲除(或敲除)使LV滴度增加了6.53倍。该研究建立了多基因敲除的HEK293T细胞系,实现了LV的高效生产,为LV的生产和应用提供了可靠的技术支持,为研究LV的包装机制和相关病毒研究提供了新的视角。

In July 2019, Victoria Gray became the first patient with sickle cell disease to receive a CRISPR-based cell therapy as a volunteer in the exa-cel clinical trial, sponsored by Vertex Pharmaceuticals and CRISPR Therapeutics. Barely four years later, the ensuing therapy, branded as Casgevy, received approval from regulatory agencies in Europe, the United States, and the Middle East, ushering in a new era of CRISPR-based medicines. During this period, scores of other clinical trials have been launched, including many actively recruiting patients across phase 1, phase 2, and phase 3 clinical trials around the world. In this brief Perspective, we collate the latest information on therapeutic clinical trials featuring CRISPR, base and prime editing, across a range of both in vivo and ex vivo gene and cell therapies.

Genome editing technologies have become widely used research tools. To assess the rate of growth with respect to federal funding of gene editing projects, we analyzed publicly available data retrieved from the NIH RePORTER and Clinicaltrials.gov databases. We identified 6,111 awards between 1977 and 2023, the majority being extramural, investigator-driven R (noneducational) awards (66.7%). There was an average growth rate of 40% between 2008 and 2022, and the biggest increase in awards was observed between 2017 and 2018 (doubling from 140 to 280). Five administering institutes/centers accounted for more than 60% of awards with the highest number of awards from the National Cancer Institute (20.0%). The majority of clinical trials involving some type of genome editing (75%) started in or after 2020. This analysis illuminates the rapid and widespread growth of gene editing research across disciplines and the eventual launch of clinical trials using gene editing tools.

基因组编辑技术已成为广泛应用的研究工具。为了评估基因编辑项目的联邦资助增长率,我们分析了从美国国立卫生研究院 RePORTER 和 Clinicaltrials.gov 数据库中检索到的公开数据。我们确定了 1977 年至 2023 年间的 6111 项奖励,其中大部分是校外、研究者驱动的 R(非教育)奖励(66.7%)。2008年至2022年期间的平均增长率为40%,2017年至2018年期间的奖项增幅最大(从140项增加到280项,翻了一番)。五个管理机构/中心的获奖数量占 60% 以上,其中国家癌症研究所的获奖数量最多(20.0%)。大多数涉及某种基因组编辑的临床试验(75%)都是在2020年或之后开始的。这项分析说明了基因编辑研究在各学科中的快速和广泛发展,以及使用基因编辑工具的临床试验的最终启动。

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) provide the body with a continuous supply of healthy, functional blood cells. In patients with hematopoietic malignancies, immunodeficiencies, lysosomal storage disorders, and hemoglobinopathies, therapeutic genome editing offers hope for corrective intervention, with even modest editing efficiencies likely to provide clinical benefit. Engineered white blood cells, such as T cells, can be applied therapeutically to address monogenic disorders of the immune system, HIV infection, or cancer. The versatility of CRISPR-based tools allows countless new medical interventions for diseases of the blood, and rapid ex vivo success has been demonstrated in hemoglobinopathies via transplantation of the patient's HSCs following genome editing in a laboratory setting. Here we review recent advances in therapeutic genome editing of HSCs and T cells, focusing on the progress in ex vivo contexts, the promise of improved access via in vivo delivery, as well as the ongoing preclinical efforts that may enable the transition from ex vivo to in vivo administration. We discuss the challenges, limitations, and future prospects of this rapidly developing field, which may one day establish CRISPR as the standard of care for some diseases affecting the blood.

造血干细胞为人体源源不断地提供健康的功能性血细胞。对于造血恶性肿瘤、免疫缺陷、溶酶体储积症和血红蛋白病患者,治疗性基因组编辑为纠正干预带来了希望,即使编辑效率不高,也可能带来临床益处。经改造的白细胞(如 T 细胞)可用于治疗单基因免疫系统疾病、艾滋病病毒感染或癌症。基于CRISPR技术的工具用途广泛,可为血液疾病提供无数新的医疗干预措施,在实验室环境中进行基因组编辑后,通过移植患者的造血干细胞,已在血红蛋白病方面取得了迅速的体内外成功。在此,我们回顾了造血干细胞和 T 细胞治疗性基因组编辑的最新进展,重点关注体内外治疗的进展、通过体内给药改善治疗的前景,以及为实现从体内外给药到体内给药的过渡而正在进行的临床前工作。我们讨论了这一快速发展领域所面临的挑战、局限性和未来前景,也许有一天 CRISPR 会成为治疗某些血液疾病的标准方法。

Safety considerations for gene therapies of inherited preleukemia syndromes, including severe congenital neutropenia (CN), are paramount. We compared several strategies for CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing of autosomal-dominant ELANE mutations in CD34+ cells from two CN patients head-to-head. We tested universal and allele-specific ELANE knockout, ELANE mutation correction by homology-directed repair (HDR) with AAV6, and allele-specific HDR with ssODN. All strategies were not toxic, had at least 30% editing, and rescued granulopoiesis in vitro. In contrast to published data, allele-specific indels in the last exon of ELANE also restored granulopoiesis. Moreover, by implementing patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells for GUIDE-Seq off-target analysis, we established a clinically relevant "personalized" assessment of off-target activity of gene editing on the background of the patient's genome. We found that allele-specific approaches had the most favorable off-target profiles. Taken together, a well-defined head-to-head comparison pipeline for selecting the appropriate gene therapy is essential for diseases, with several gene editing strategies available.

对包括严重先天性中性粒细胞减少症(CN)在内的遗传性白血病前期综合征进行基因治疗时,安全性是最重要的考虑因素。我们比较了在两名 CN 患者的 CD34+ 细胞中对常染色体显性 ELANE 突变进行 CRISPR/Cas9 基因编辑的几种策略。我们测试了通用的和等位基因特异性的 ELANE 基因敲除、用 AAV6 进行同源定向修复 (HDR) 的 ELANE 基因突变校正,以及用 ssODN 进行等位基因特异性 HDR。所有策略均无毒性,至少有 30% 的编辑率,并能挽救体外粒细胞生成。与已发表的数据不同的是,ELANE最后一个外显子中的等位基因特异性吲哚也能恢复粒细胞生成。此外,通过利用患者诱导多能干细胞进行GUIDE-Seq脱靶分析,我们建立了一种与临床相关的 "个性化 "评估方法,以患者基因组为背景评估基因编辑的脱靶活性。我们发现,等位基因特异性方法具有最有利的脱靶特征。综上所述,在有多种基因编辑策略可供选择的情况下,为选择合适的基因疗法建立一个定义明确的 "头对头 "比较管道对疾病治疗至关重要。
