Project description:Dysregulation of the epigenome due to alterations in chromatin modifier proteins commonly contribute to malignant transformation. To interrogate the roles of epigenetic modifiers in cancer cells, we generated an epigenome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 knockout library (EPIKOL) that targets a wide-range of epigenetic modifiers and their cofactors. We conducted eight screens in two different cancer types and showed that EPIKOL performs with high efficiency in terms of sgRNA distribution and depletion of essential genes. We discovered novel epigenetic modifiers that regulate triple-negative breast cancer and prostate cancer cell fitness. We confirmed the growth-regulatory functions of individual candidates, including SS18L2 and members of the NSL complex (KANSL2, KANSL3, KAT8) in triple negative breast cancer cells. Overall, we show that EPIKOL, a focused sgRNA library targeting approximately 800 genes, can reveal epigenetic modifiers that are essential for cancer cell fitness under in vitro and in vivo conditions and enable identification of novel anti-cancer targets. Due to its comprehensive epigenome-wide targets and relatively high number of sgRNAs per gene, EPIKOL will facilitate studies examining functional roles of epigenetic modifiers in a wide range of contexts, such as screens in primary cells, patient-derived xenografts as well as in vivo models.

Project description:Characterizing the interactions that SARS-CoV-2 viral RNAs make with host cell proteins during infection can improve our understanding of viral RNA functions and the host innate immune response. Using RNA antisense purification and mass spectrometry (RAP-MS), we identify up to 104 human proteins that directly and specifically bind to SARS-CoV-2 RNAs in infected human cells. We integrate the SARS-CoV-2 RNA interactome with proteome abundance changes induced by viral infection and link interactome proteins to cellular pathways relevant to SARS-CoV-2 infections. We demonstrate by genetic perturbation that CNBP and LARP1, two of the most strongly enriched viral RNA binders, restrict SARS-CoV-2 replication in infected cells and provide a global map of their direct RNA contact sites. Pharmacological inhibition of three other RNA interactome members, PPIA, ATP1A1, and the ARP2/3 complex, reduces viral replication in two human cell lines. The identification of host dependency factors and defence strategies as presented in this work will improve the design of targeted therapeutics against SARS-CoV-2.

Project description:The Puf family of RNA-binding proteins regulate gene expression by controlling protein synthesis or stimulating RNA decay. Puf3p is one of six related proteins in Saccharomyces cerevisiae characterised as targeting and regulating decay of nuclear-encoded mRNAs specifying mitochondrial proteins. Much prior work has examined how Puf3p regulates COX17 mRNA. We undertook genome-wide approaches to define an expanded set of Puf3p target mRNAs. In agreement with prior studies, our sequencing of affinity-purified Puf3p-TAP associated mRNAs (RIP-seq) identified mRNAs encoding mitochondrially-targeted proteins. We also found an additional 720 mRNA targets that predominantly encode proteins that enter the nucleus.

Project description:To systematically study the functions of epigenetic genes in controlling tumor progression and regulating anti-tumor immunity, we performed a series of in vitro and in vivo epigenome-wide CRISPR screens in mouse KP lung adenocarcinoma model. We constructed an epigenetic-focused sgRNA library, established KP-Cas9-library pools, and then performed in vitro and in vivo CRISPR screens. For in vitro screens, we compared the cell pools harvested at week 4 with the cells pools harvested at week 2 to check the functions of epigenetic genes in tumor cell proliferation. For in vivo screens, we compared the IgG treated tumors in Rag1-/- mice or WT mice with the input cell pool to check the functions of epigenetic genes in tumor growth; we compared the IgG treated tumors in WT mice with the IgG treated tumors in Rag1-/- mice to check the functions of epigenetic genes in regulating anti-tumor immunity; we compared the anti-PD-1 treated tumors in WT mice with IgG treated tumors in WT mice to check the functions of epigenetic genes in modulating sensitivity to anti-PD-1 treatment.

Project description:The ongoing SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has devastated the global economy and claimed more than one million lives, presenting an urgent global health crisis. To identify host factors required for infection by SARS-CoV-2 and seasonal coronaviruses, we designed a focused high-coverage CRISPR-Cas9 library targeting 332 members of a recently published SARS-CoV-2 protein interactome. We leveraged the compact nature of this library to systematically screen SARS-CoV-2 at two physiologically relevant temperatures (33 ºC and 37 ºC) along with three related coronaviruses (HCoV-229E, HCoV-NL63, and HCoV-OC43), allowing us to probe this interactome at a much higher resolution relative to genome scale studies. This approach yielded several new insights, including unexpected virus-specific differences in Rab GTPase requirements and GPI anchor biosynthesis, as well as identification of multiple pan-coronavirus factors involved in cholesterol homeostasis. This coronavirus essentiality catalog could inform ongoing drug development efforts aimed at intercepting and treating COVID-19, and help prepare for future coronavirus outbreaks.

Project description:To systematically identify the function of S6K1 and S6K2 in glioblastoma cells, LN229 cells were stably transduced with Cas9, control non-targeting sgRNA (sgNT), or sgRNAs targeting S6K1 or S6K2. The cells were then transiently transfected with non-targeting siRNAs (siNT), or siRNA pools targeting S6K1 or S6K2. RNA sequencing was performed to compare cellular responses to inactivation of single or combination S6 kinases.

Project description:By a robust unbiased ChIP-seq approach, we demonstrated that CRISPR/Cas9 had crRNA-specific off-target binding activities in human genome. However, most of those binding off-targets could not be efficiently cleaved both in vivo and in vitro which suggested the cleavage off-target activity of CRISPR/Cas9 in human genome is very limited. We provided a valuable tool to further investigate the molecular mechanism of CRISPR/Cas9 and to optimize its in vivo targeting sgRNA binding sites were identified with ChipSeq by using GFP antibody (there are 2 replicates for egfa-t1 sgRNA,emx1 sgRNA and control without sgRNA in Hek293T cells, one egfa-t1 sgRNA,emx1 sgRNA and control without sgRNA in HeLaS3 cells)

Project description:tRNase ZL-utilizing efficacious gene silencing (TRUE gene silencing) is an RNA-mediated gene expression control technology that has therapeutic potential. This technology is based on the properties of tRNase ZL that it can cleave any target RNA at any desired site under the direction of an appropriate artificial small guide RNA (sgRNA) and that cytosolic tRNase ZL can modulate gene expression by cleaving mRNA under the direction of cellular 5M-bM-^@M-2-half-tRNA or microRNA as sgRNA. In order to estimate a number of potential therapeutic heptamer-type sgRNAs for hematological malignancies, we constructed an sgRNA library composed of 156 heptamer-type sgRNAs, and examined how the sgRNAs affect viability of leukemia and myeloma cells. And we found that 20 of the 156 sgRNAs can efficiently induce apoptosis in at least one of the cancer cell lines. Furthermore, we demonstrated that 4 of the 20 effective sgRNAs can reduce growth rates of HL60 cells in mouse xenograft models. DNA microarray analysis for changes in an mRNA profile by these four heptamer-type sgRNAs suggested at least one candidate target mRNA that contains a potential tRNase ZL target site for each sgRNA. Changes in gene expression in HL60 cells were measured after 18-hour incubation in the absence or presence of one of five different heptamer-type sgRNAs. *Heptamer sequences requested but not provided by submitter

Project description:The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-Cas9 genome editing system has been broadly adopted for high-throughput genetic screens. However, the application of genome-wide single guide RNA (sgRNA) libraries can be challenging. We generated a custom sgRNA library, an order of magnitude smaller than genome-wide alternatives, to facilitate the genetic screening of RNA binding proteins (RBPs). We demonstrated the utility of our reagent in a genetic screen for RBPs that conveyed cellular resistance or sensitivity to oxidative stress induced by paraquat. This identified that CSDE1 and STRAP, proteins that interact with each other, convey sensitivity to oxidative stress and that Pumilio homologues (PUM1 and PUM2) convey resistance. Targeting eIF4-E1 and -A1 protected cells from high-dose paraquat, whereas eIF4E2 targeted cells did less well. We also found that G3BP1 promoted sensitivity to a low dose of paraquat but protected cells at a higher dose. Our study highlights the use of genetic screens to identify roles of RBPs and identifies novel genes regulating sensitivity to oxidative stress.

Project description:To identify surface proteins on myeloid cells involved in the establishment of the tumor immune microenvironment, we selected transmembrane protein encoding genes with a high myeloid/lymphoid expression ratio to construct a sgRNA library. The sgRNA pool was transduced into hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells of Cas9 mice to transplant the lethal irradiated mice for immune system reconstitution, then followed by B16-F10 tumor inoculation. Once the tumor was established, the tumor and bone marrow (BM) were collected for sgRNA deep sequencing and comparison.
