CRISPRTE: A web-based tool to generate single guide RNA targets transposable elements

ABSTRACT: CRISPR/Cas systems have gained prominence as powerful tools for genome engineering. Recent investigations into the crucial role of transposable elements (TEs) have stimulated research interest in manipulating TEs to elucidate their functions. Nevertheless, designing single guide RNAs (sgRNAs) that are both specific and efficient for TE manipulation presents a formidable challenge, considering the repetitive nature and high copy numbers of TEs. Although various sgRNA design tools have been developed for gene editing, an optimized sgRNA designer explicitly for TE manipulation has yet to be established. To bridge this gap, we presented CRISPR-TE, a web-based application featuring an accessible graphical user interface, available at https://www.crisprte.cn. CRISPR-TE could identify all potential sgRNAs for TEs and offers a comprehensive solution for efficient TE targeting at both the single duplicate and subfamily levels. We also demonstrated that young TEs can be targeted with higher coverage at the subfamily level. Finally, we validated the overexpression of SVAD, a human-specific TE, using dCas9-VP64 activator incorporated with three sgRNAs designed by our tool. Collectively, our findings suggest that CRISPR-TE may serve as a versatile framework for designing sgRNAs aimed at TE targeting.

Titrating gene expression with allelic series of CRISPR guide RNAs

Project description:Cellular phenotypes arise from the degrees to which different genes are expressed, yet the ability to monitor these phenotypes is limited by a lack of tools to precisely control gene expression. We describe the development of allelic series of systematically compromised sgRNAs to titrate expression of human genes with CRISPR interference. Using large-scale measurements of compromised sgRNA activities, we both identify empirically validated intermediate-activity sgRNAs and derive the factors governing sgRNA activity using deep learning, enabling construction of a compact sgRNA library to titrate expression of ~2,400 essential genes and a genome-wide in silico library. Staging cells along a continuum of essential gene expression levels using sgRNA series combined with rich single-cell RNA-seq readout reveals expression threshold-specific responses and gene-specific expression-to-phenotype relationships. Our work provides a general tool to control gene expression with applications ranging from tuning of biochemical pathways to identification of suppressors for diseases of dysregulated gene expression.

Screening of a heptamer-type sgRNA library for therapeutic agents against hematological malignancies.

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

Potent and targeted activation of HIV-1 using the CRISPR/Cas9 activator Complex

Project description:Integration of the HIV-1 provirus in the host genome ensures a persistent supply of latently infected cells. This latent reservoir is recalcitrant to antiretroviral therapy (ART) making lifelong treatment the only option for patients. The â??shock and killâ?? strategy aims to eradicate latent HIV by reactivating proviral gene expression followed by ART treatment. Gene specific transcriptional activation can be achieved using the RNA-guided CRISPR-Cas9 system comprising small guide RNAs (sgRNAs) with a nuclease deficient Cas9 mutant (dCas9) fused to the VP64 transactivation domain (dCas9-VP64). Â We engineered this system to target 23 sites within the LTR promoter of HIV-1 and identified a â??hotspotâ?? for activation. We studied the functionality of activating sgRNAs to transcriptionally modulate the latent proviral genome across multiple differentÂ in vitroÂ latency cell models including several J-Lat, ACH2 J1.1 and the CEM T cell model comprising a single clonal population of integrated mCherry-IRES-Tat from a full-length HIV LTR (LChIT).Â While we observed variable responses of latent cell models to well-characterized chemical stimuli, we detected consistent efficient activation of latent virus mediated by activator sgRNAs.Â In addition, transcriptome analysis of chemically treated cells revealed massive non-specific gene dysregulation whereas by comparison, dCas9-VP64/sgRNAs induced specific activation of the integrated provirus.Â In conclusion, we show the potential for CRISPR-mediated gene activation systems to provide enhanced efficiency and specificity in a targeted latency reactivation strategy. This represents a promising approach to a â??functional cureâ?? of HIV/AIDS. Three experimental conditions (sgRNA control, TNF treated and sgRNA against the LTR of HIV-1) were analyzed in triplicate using two sequencing lanes

A CRISPR-based screen identifies genes essential for West Nile virus-induced cell death

Project description:West Nile virus (WNV) causes an acute neurological infection attended by massive neuronal cell death. However, the mechanism(s) behind the virus-induced cell death is poorly understood. Using a library containing 77,406 sgRNAs targeting 20,121 genes, we performed a genome-wide screen using CRISPR/Cas9. HEK 293FT cells were infected with lentivirus expressing sgRNAs and then transfected with a Cas9 expressing construct. WNV infection killed most cells during a 12d selection. Survivor cells were harvested, from which DNA was isolated. The sgRNAs integrated in genome of survivor cells were amplified with PCR. The PCR product was sequenced with Illumina MiSeq to profile the sgRNA population in the survivor cells. Three replicates were conducted. Similarly, a second round of screen was conducted. Among the genes identified, seven genes, EMC2, EMC3, SEL1L, DERL2, UBE2G2, UBE2J2, and HRD1, stood out as having the strongest phenotype, whose knockout conferred strong protection against WNV-induced cell death with two different WNV strains and in three cell lines. Interestingly, knockout of these genes did not block WNV replication. Thus, these appear to be essential genes that link WNV replication to downstream cell death pathway(s). In addition, the fact that all of these genes belong to the endoplasmic reticulum-associated protein degradation (ERAD) pathway suggests that this might be the primary driver of WNV-induced cell death.

RNA-seq expression profiling of OCI-AML2 and OCI-AML3 cells upon CRISPR/Cas9 –mediated disruption of DDX3X RNA binding domain

Project description:Human acute myeloid leukemia cell lines OCI-AML2 and OCI-AML3 were used in a CRISPR/Cas9-mediated approach to specifically target DDX3X’s gene sequences encoding the RNA binding domain of the helicase. DDX3X RNA binding domain is bipartite in the two halves of the helicase core. sgRNAs were designed to target both halves of the domain (named RNA binding domain A and B – RBDA and RBDB). We performed RNA-seq to observe the gene expression changes in both OCI-AML2 and OCI-AML3 cell lines following the not-combined CRISPR/Cas9 –mediated targeting of both regions of the DDX3X RNA binding domain. Control CRISPR/Cas9 performed with no sgRNA expressing vector (named “empty vector”) was performed in both cell lines. The latter condition was used as a control for gene expression changes analysis, for each cell line.

Applying defective interfering viral genome bioinformatics for detection of coronavirus subgenomic RNAs

Project description:Coronavirus RNA-dependent RNA polymerases produce subgenomic RNAs (sgRNAs) that encode viral structural and accessory proteins. The kinetics and efficiency of sgRNAs production during viral replication in different cell types or sgRNA transcription by individual viral strains or variants are yet to be studied to shed light on fundamental mechanisms necessary for viral replication. User-friendly bioinformatic tools to detect and quantify sgRNA production are urgently needed to study a growing number of next-generation sequencing (NGS) data of SARS-CoV-2. Starting from DI-tector, a bioinformatic tool for the detection of viral defective interfering genomes, here we introduced sgDI-tector to identify and quantify sgRNA in SARS-CoV-2 NGS data. This new tool allowed detection of sgRNA without initial knowledge of the transcription-regulatory sequences. As a proof of principle, we analyzed new data sets and successfully detected the nested set of sgRNAs produced with the ranking M>ORF3a>N>ORF6>ORF7a>ORF8>S>E>ORF7b. Our study also compared, for the first time for SARS-CoV-2, the level of sgRNA production with other types of viral RNA products such as defective interfering viral genomes.

Modeling CRISPR-Cas13d on-target and off-target effects using machine learning approaches

Project description:We conducted a two-vector CRISPR/Cas13d proliferation screening experiment. The screening library contains 10,830 sgRNAs targeting 192 protein-coding genes and 234 lncRNAs, and the screening experiment was performed using a melanoma cell line A375. It provides a unique dataset to model Cas13d sgRNA efficiency and specificity. We designed a deep learning model, named DeepCas13, to predict the sgRNA on-target activity with high accuracy from sgRNA sequences and RNA secondary structures.

Using a Dual CRISPR/Cas9 Approach to Gain Insight into the Role of LRP1B in Glioblastoma

Project description:LRP1B remains one of the most altered genes in cancer, although its relevance in cancer biology is still unclear. Recent advances in gene editing techniques, particularly CRISPR/Cas9 systems, offer new opportunities to evaluate the function of large genes, like LRP1B. Using a dual sgRNA CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing approach, this study aimed to assess the impact of disrupting LRP1B in glioblastoma cell biology. Four sgRNAs were designed for the dual targeting of two LRP1B exons (1 and 85). The U87 glioblastoma (GB) cell line was transfected with CRISPR/cas9 PX459 vectors. To assess LRP1B gene alterations and expression, PCR, Sanger DNA sequencing, qRT-PCR were carried out. Three clones (clones B9, E6 and H7) were further evaluated. All clones presented altered cellular morphology, increased cellular and nuclear size and changes in ploidy. Two clones (E6 and H7) showed a significant decrease in cell growth, both in vitro and in the in vivo CAM assay. Proteomic analysis of the clones’ secretome identified differentially ex-pressed proteins, that had not been previously associated with LRP1B alterations. This study demonstrates that the dual sgRNA CRISPR/Cas9 strategy can effectively edit LRP1B in GB cells, providing new insights into the impact of LRP1B deletions in GBM biology.
