ABSTRACT: CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing is widely used to study gene function, from basic biology to biomedical research. Structural rearrangements are a ubiquitous feature of cancer cells and their impact on the functional consequences of CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing has not yet been assessed. Utilizing CRISPR-Cas9 knockout screens for 250 cancer cell lines, we demonstrate that targeting structurally rearranged regions, in particular tandem or interspersed amplifications, is highly detrimental to cellular fitness in a gene independent manner. In contrast, amplifications caused by whole chromosomal duplications have little to no impact on fitness. This effect is cell line specific and dependent on the ploidy status. We devise a copy-number ratio metric that substantially improves the detection of gene-independent cell fitness effects in CRISPR-Cas9 screens. Furthermore, we develop a computational tool, called Crispy, to account for these effects on a single sample basis and provide corrected gene fitness effects. Our analysis demonstrates the importance of structural rearrangements in mediating the effect of CRISPR-Cas9-induced DNA damage, with implications for the use of CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing in cancer cells.

High-Resolution CRISPR Screens Reveal Fitness Genes and Genotype-Specific Cancer Liabilities

Project description:The ability to perturb genes in human cells is crucial for elucidating gene function and holds great potential for finding therapeutic targets for diseases such as cancer. To extend the catalog of human core and context- dependent fitness genes, we have developed a high-complexity second-generation genome-scale CRISPR-Cas9 gRNA library and applied it to fitness screens in five human cell lines. Using an improved Bayesian analytical approach, we consistently discover 5-fold more fitness genes than were previously observed. We present a list of 1,580 human core fitness genes and describe their general properties. Moreover, we demonstrate that context-dependent fitness genes accurately recapitulate pathway-specific genetic vulnerabilities induced by known oncogenes and reveal cell-type-specific dependencies for specific receptor tyrosine kinases, even in oncogenic KRAS backgrounds. Thus, rigorous identification of human cell line fitness genes using a high-complexity CRISPR-Cas9 library affords a high-resolution view of the genetic vulnerabilities of a cell. Additional data can be found at tko.ccbr.utoronto.ca RNAseq of five human cell lines with Cas9 knock-ins.

On- and off-target effects of paired CRISPR-Cas nickase in primary human cells - long read

Project description:Undesired on- and off-target effects of CRISPR-Cas nucleases remain a challenge in therapeutic genome editing. While the use of Cas9 nickases has been shown to minimize off-target mutagenesis, their use in therapeutic genome editing has been hampered by a lack of efficacy. To overcome this limitation, we and others have developed double nickase-based strategies to generate staggered DNA double breaks to mediate gene disruption or gene correction with high efficiency. However, the impact of paired single-strand nicks on genome integrity has remained largely unexplored. Here, we developed a novel CAST-Seq pipeline, D-CAST, to characterize chromosomal rearrangements induced by paired CRISPR-Cas9 nickases at three different loci in primary keratinocytes derived from epidermolysis bullosa patients. While targeting COL7A1, COL17A1, or LAMA3 with Cas9 nucleases caused previously undescribed chromosomal rearrangements, no chromosomal translocations were detected following single or paired Cas9-based nickase editing. Conversely, whereas single nickase applications did not result in gross genomic aberrations, the double nicking strategy induced large deletions/inversions within a 10 kb region surrounding the target sites at all three loci, similar to the nucleases. Taken together, our data indicate that double-nickase approaches combine efficient editing with greatly reduced off-target effects, but still leave substantial chromosomal rearrangements at on-target sites.
