Efficient CRISPR/Cas9-Mediated Mutagenesis in Primary Murine T Lymphocytes.

ABSTRACT: The ability to alter gene expression directly in T lymphocytes has provided a powerful tool for understanding T cell biology, signaling, and function. Manipulation of T cell clones and primary T cells has been accomplished primarily through overexpression or gene-silencing studies using cDNAs or shRNAs, respectively, which are often delivered by retroviral or lentiviral transduction or direct transfection methods. The recent development of CRISPR/Cas9-based mutagenesis has revolutionized genomic editing, allowing unprecedented genetic manipulation of many cell types with greater precision and ease. This article outlines a protocol for CRISPR/Cas9-mediated mutagenesis in primary T lymphocytes from Cas9 transgenic mice using retroviral delivery of guide RNAs. © 2018 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Project description:Sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum) is an economically important herb and its global production is threatened by basil downy mildew caused by the obligate biotrophic oomycete Peronospora belbahrii. Effective tools are required for functional understanding of its genes involved in synthesis of valuable secondary metabolites in essential oil and disease resistance, and breeding for varieties with improved traits. Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)/Cas9 gene editing technology has revolutionized crop breeding and functional genomics. The applicability and efficacy of this genomic tool in the allotetraploid sweet basil were tested by editing a potential susceptibility (S) gene ObDMR1, the basil homolog of Arabidopsis DMR1 (Downy Mildew Resistant 1) whose mutations conferred nearly complete resistance against Arabidopsis downy mildew pathogen, Hyaloperonospora arabidopsidis. Two single guide RNAs targeting two different sites of the ObDMR1 coding sequence were designed. A total of 56 transgenic lines were obtained via Agrobacterium-mediated stable transformation. Mutational analysis of 54 T0 transgenic lines identified 92.6% lines carrying mutations at target 1 site, while a very low mutation frequency was detected at target 2 site. Deep sequencing of six T0 lines revealed various mutations at target 1 site, with a complete knockout of all alleles in one line. ObDMR1 homozygous mutant plants with some being transgene free were identified from T1 segregating populations. T2 homozygous mutant plants with 1-bp frameshift mutations exhibited a dwarf phenotype at young seedling stage. In summary, this study established a highly efficient CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing system for targeted mutagenesis in sweet basil. This system has the capacity to generate complete knockout mutants in this allotetraploid species at the first generation of transgenic plants and transgene-free homozygous mutants in the second generation. The establishment of this system is expected to accelerate basil functional genomics and breeding.
