Frequency and mechanisms of LINE-1 retrotransposon insertions at CRISPR/Cas9 sites

ABSTRACT: CRISPR/Cas9-based genome editing has revolutionized experimental molecular biology and entered the clinical world for targeted gene therapy. Identifying DNA modifications occurring at CRISPR/Cas9 target sites is critical to determine efficiency and safety of editing tools. Here we show that insertions of LINE-1 (L1) retrotransposons can occur frequently at CRISPR/Cas9 editing sites. Together with PolyA-seq and an improved amplicon sequencing, we characterize more than 2,500 de novo L1 insertions at multiple CRISPR/Cas9 editing sites in HEK293T, HeLa and U2OS cells. These L1 retrotransposition events exploit CRISPR/Cas9-induced DSB formation and require L1 RT activity. Importantly, de novo L1 insertions are rare during genome editing by prime editors (PE), cytidine or adenine base editors (CBE or ABE), consistent with their reduced DSB formation. These data demonstrate that insertions of retrotransposons might be a potential outcome of CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing and provide further evidence on the safety of different CRISPR-based editing tools.

Cas9 interactions with host RNAs and transposable elements impair neurodevelopment (irCLIP-seq)

Project description:The CRISPR (clustered regulatory interspaced short palindromic repeats)/ Cas9 (CRISPR-associated protein 9) system-based precise genome editing has revolutionized biomedical studies. As the CRISPR/Cas9 system has been also recently considered to permanently cure genetic diseases via human germline genome editing, a careful risk assessment of this genome engineering tool is required in human early development. Here we perform comprehensive analysis to evaluate the potential impact of Cas9 in human early embryogenesis. We find that even in the absence of synthetic guide RNA, Cas9 can be still guided by endogenous RNAs, and cut the genome of human embryonic cells at low frequency, and the resulting DNA damage induces the intrinsic immune response. Moreover, Cas9 interferes with the spliceosome, and with the suppressor machinery (e.g. L1TD1, APOBEC3G and PIWIL4) of LINE-1 (L1) retrotransposition. Even the transient presence of Cas9 in human embryonic cells induces robust de novo L1 retrotransposition that exacerbates DNA damage, and results in compromised neurodevelopment. Besides the ethical issues, these inevitable and detrimental Cas9-associated impacts on human embryonic development raise such serious safety concerns as to question the clinical use of human germline genome editing.

Comprehensive assessment of miniature CRISPR-Cas12f nucleases for gene disruption

Project description:Because of their smallness, the recently developed CRISPR-Cas12f nucleases can be effectively packaged into adeno-associated viruses for gene therapy. However, a systematic evaluation of the editing outcomes of CRISPR-Cas12f is lacking. In this study, we apply a high-throughput sequencing method to comprehensively assess the editing efficiency, specificity, and safety of four Cas12f proteins in parallel with that of Cas9 and two Cas12a proteins at multiple genomic sites. Cas12f nucleases achieve robust cleavage at most of the tested sites and mainly produce deletional fragments. In contrast, Cas9 and Cas12a show relatively higher editing efficiency at the vast majority of the tested sites. However, the off-target hotspots identified in the Cas9- and Cas12a-edited cells are negligibly detected in the Cas12f-edited cells. Moreover, compared to Cas9 and Cas12a nucleases, Cas12f nucleases reduce the levels of chromosomal translocations, large deletions, and integrated vectors by 2- to 3-fold. Therefore, our findings confirm the editing capacity of Cas12f and reveal the ability of this nuclease family to preserve genome integrity during genome editing.

RNA-guided Location and Function of the Cas9 CRISPR Endonuclease in Mammalian Cells

Project description:The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)-associated enzyme Cas9 is an RNA-guided nuclease that has been widely adapted for genome editing in eukaryotic cells. However, the in vivo target specificity of Cas9 is poorly understood and most studies rely on in silico predictions to define the potential off-target editing spectrum. Using chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing (ChIP-seq), we delineate the genome-wide binding panorama of catalytically inactive Cas9 directed by two different single guide (sg) RNAs targeting the Trp53 locus. Cas9:sgRNA complexes are able to load onto multiple sites with short seed regions adjacent to 5’NGG3’ protospacer adjacent motifs (PAM). Examination of dmCas9 binding sites using two Trp53 targeting sgRNAs in Arf -/- MEF cell line (mouse).

One-step generation of tumor models by base editor multiplexing in adult stem cell-derived organoids

Project description:Optimization of CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome engineering has resulted in base editors that hold promise for mutation repair and disease modeling. Here, we demonstrate the application of base editors for the generation of complex tumor models in human ASC-derived organoids. First we show Efficacy of cytosine and adenine base editors in modelingCTNNB1hot-spot mutations in hepatocyte organoids. Next, we use C>T base editors to insert nonsense mutations inPTENin endometrial organoids and demonstrate tumorigenicity even in the heterozygous state. Moreover, drug screening assays on organoids harboring eitherPTENorPTENandPIK3CAmutations reveal the mechanism underlying the initial stages of endometrial tumorigenesis. To further increase the scope of base editing we combine SpCas9 and SaCas9 for simultaneous C>T and A>G editing at individual target sites. Finally, we show that base editor multiplexing allow modeling of colorectal tumorigenesis in a single step by simultaneously transfecting sgRNAs targeting five cancer genes.

High-fidelity base editing mediated by Cpf1-cytidine deaminase fusion

Project description:C-to-T base editing mediated by CRISPR/Cas9 base editors (BEs) needs a G/C-rich PAM and the editing fidelity is compromised by unwanted indels and non-C-to-T substitutions. We developed CRISPR/Cpf1-based BEs to recognize a T-rich PAM and induce efficient C-to-T editing with few indels and/or non-C-to-T substitutions. The requirement of editing fidelity in therapeutic-related trials necessitates the development of CRISPR/Cpf1-based BEs, which also facilitates base editing in A/T-rich regions.

Systematic Perturbation of Thousands of Retroviral LTRs in Mouse Embryos [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:In mammals, many retrotransposons are de-repressed during zygotic genome activation (ZGA). However, their functions in early development remain elusive largely due to the challenge to simultaneously manipulate thousands of retrotransposon insertions in embryos. Here, we employed epigenome editing to perturb long terminal repeat (LTR) MT2_Mm, a well-known ZGA and totipotency marker that exists in ~2667 insertions throughout the mouse genome. CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) robustly targeted and repressed 2485 (~93%) MT2_Mm insertions and 1090 (~55%) insertions of the closely related MT2C_Mm in 2-cell embryos. Remarkably, such perturbation caused down-regulation of hundreds of ZGA genes at 2C stage and embryonic arrest mostly at morula stage. Mechanistically, MT2_Mm/MT2C_Mm primarily served as alternative ZGA promoters activated by Obox proteins. Thus, through large-scale epigenome editing, we addressed to what extent MT2_Mm/MT2C_Mm regulates ZGA and preimplantation development. Our approach could be adapted to systematically perturb retrotransposons in other mammalian embryos as it doesn’t require transgenic animals.
