Project description:Prime editing technology is capable of generating targeted insertions, deletions, and base conversions. However, the process of designing prime editing guide RNAs (pegRNAs), which contain a primer binding site and a reverse-transcription template at the 3' end, is more complex than that for the single guide RNAs used with CRISPR nucleases or base editors. Furthermore, the assessment of high-throughput sequencing data after prime editors (PEs) have been employed should consider the unique feature of PEs; thus, pre-existing assessment tools cannot directly be adopted for PEs. Here, we present two user-friendly web-based tools for PEs, named PE-Designer and PE-Analyzer. PE-Designer, a dedicated tool for pegRNA selection, provides all possible target sequences, pegRNA extension sequences, and nicking guide RNA sequences together with useful information, and displays the results in an interactive image. PE-Analyzer, a dedicated tool for PE outcome analysis, accepts high-throughput sequencing data, summarizes mutation-related information in a table, and provides interactive graphs. PE-Analyzer was mainly written using JavaScript so that it can analyze several data sets without requiring that huge sequencing data (>100MB) be uploaded to the server, reducing analysis time and increasing personal security. PE-Designer and PE-Analyzer are freely available at http://www.rgenome.net/pe-designer/ and http://www.rgenome.net/pe-analyzer/ without a login process.

Project description:Large scale genomic aberrations including duplication, deletion, translocation, and other structural changes are the cause of a subtype of hereditary genetic disorders and contribute to onset or progress of cancer. The current prime editor, PE2, consisting of Cas9-nickase and reverse transcriptase enables efficient editing of genomic deletion and insertion, however, at small scale. Here, we designed a novel prime editor by fusing reverse transcriptase (RT) to nuclease wild-type Cas9 (WT-PE) to edit large genomic fragment. WT-PE system simultaneously introduced a double strand break (DSB) and a single 3' extended flap in the target site. Coupled with paired prime editing guide RNAs (pegRNAs) that have complementary sequences in their 3' terminus while target different genomic regions, WT-PE produced bi-directional prime editing, which enabled efficient and versatile large-scale genome editing, including large fragment deletion up to 16.8 megabase (Mb) pairs and chromosomal translocation. Therefore, our WT-PE system has great potential to model or treat diseases related to large-fragment aberrations.

Project description:Prime editors consisting of Cas9-nickase and reverse transcriptase enable targeted precise editing of small DNA pieces, including all 12 kinds of base substitutions, insertions and deletions, while without requiring double-strand breaks or donor templates. Current optimized prime editing strategy (PE3) uses two guide RNAs to guide the performance of prime editor. One guide RNA carrying both spacer and templating sequences (pegRNA) guides prime editor to produce ssDNA break and subsequent extension, and the other one produces a nick in the complementary strand. Here, we demonstrated that positioning the nick sgRNA nearby the templating sequences of the pegRNA facilitated targeted large fragment deletion and that engineering both guide RNAs to be pegRNAs to achieve bi-direction prime editing (Bi-PE) further increase the efficiency by up to 16 times and improved the accuracy of editing products by 60 times. In addition, we showed that Bi-PE strategy also increased the efficiency of simultaneous conversion of multiple bases but not single base conversion over PE3. In conclusion, Bi-PE strategy expanded the editing scope and improved the efficiency and the accuracy of prime editing system, which might have a wide range of potential applications.

Project description:Prime editing (PE) enables efficiently targeted introduction of multiple types of small-sized genetic change without requiring double-strand breaks or donor templates. Here we designed a simple strategy to introduce random DNA sequences into targeted genomic loci by prime editing, which we named random prime editing (Random-PE). In our strategy, the prime editing guide RNA (pegRNA) was engineered to harbor random sequences between the primer binding sequence (PBS) and homologous arm (HA) of the reverse transcriptase templates. With these pegRNAs, we achieved efficient targeted insertion or substitution of random sequences with different lengths, ranging from 5 to 10, in mammalian cells. Importantly, the diversity of inserted sequences is well preserved. By fine-tuning the design of random sequences, we were able to make simultaneously insertions or substitutions of random sequences in multiple sites, allowing in situ evolution of multiple positions in a given protein. Therefore, these results provide a framework for targeted integration of random sequences into genomes, which can be redirected for manifold applications, such as in situ protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) library construction, enhancer screening, and DNA barcoding.

Project description:Implementation of therapeutic in vivo gene editing using CRISPR/Cas relies on potent delivery of gene editing tools. Administration of ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complexes consisting of Cas protein and single guide RNA (sgRNA) offers short-lived editing activity and safety advantages over conventional viral and non-viral gene and RNA delivery approaches. By engineering lentivirus-derived nanoparticles (LVNPs) to facilitate RNP delivery, we demonstrate effective administration of SpCas9 as well as SpCas9-derived base and prime editors (BE/PE) leading to gene editing in recipient cells. Unique Gag/GagPol protein fusion strategies facilitate RNP packaging in LVNPs, and refinement of LVNP stoichiometry supports optimized LVNP yield and incorporation of therapeutic payload. We demonstrate near instantaneous target DNA cleavage and complete RNP turnover within 4 days. As a result, LVNPs provide high on-target DNA cleavage and lower levels of off-target cleavage activity compared to standard RNP nucleofection in cultured cells. LVNPs accommodate BE/sgRNA and PE/epegRNA RNPs leading to base editing with reduced bystander editing and prime editing without detectable indel formation. Notably, in the mouse eye, we provide the first proof-of-concept for LVNP-directed in vivo gene disruption. Our findings establish LVNPs as promising vehicles for delivery of RNPs facilitating donor-free base and prime editing without formation of double-stranded DNA breaks.

Project description:B-cell leukemia 11b (BCL11B) is a transcription factor known as an essential regulator of T lymphocytes and neuronal development during embryogenesis. A genome-wide association study (GWAS) showed that a gene desert region downstream of BCL11B, known to function as a BCL11B enhancer, harbors single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with increased arterial stiffness. However, a role for BCL11B in the adult cardiovascular system is unknown. Based on these human findings, we sought to examine the relation between BCL11B and arterial function. Here we report that BCL11B is expressed in the vascular smooth muscle (VSM) where it regulates vascular stiffness. RNA sequencing of aortas from WT and Bcl11b null mice (BSMKO) identified the cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)-protein kinase G (PKG) as the most significant differentially regulated signaling pathway in BSMKO compared to WT mice. BSMKO aortas showed decreased levels of PKG1, increased levels of Ca++-calmodulin-dependent serine/threonine phosphatase calcineurin (PP2B) and their common phosphorylation target, vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein (pVASPS239), a regulator of cytoskeletal actin rearrangements. Decreased pVASPS239 in BSMKO aortas was associated with increased actin polymerization (F/G actin ratio). Functionally, aortic force, stress, wall tension and stiffness, measured ex vivo in organ baths, were increased in BSMKO aortas, and BSMKO mice had increased pulse wave velocity, the in vivo index of arterial stiffness. Despite having no effect on blood pressure or microalbuminuria, increased arterial stiffness in BSMKO mice was associated with increased incidence of cerebral microbleeds compared to age-matched WT littermates. In conclusion, we have identified VSM BCL11B as a crucial regulator of aortic smooth muscle function and a potential therapeutic target for vascular stiffness.
