The genome-wide dual-CRISPR screening identifies essential non-coding regulatory elements

ABSTRACT: Non-coding regulatory elements (NCRE) represent a major fraction of the human genome, play important roles in different biological pathways, and have the potential as genomic medicine targets. We developed a straightforward dual-CRISPR screening system capable of deleting thousands of NCREs genome-wide to study their functions in distinct biological contexts in K562 cells and 293T cells. We show that many NCREs, including ultraconserved elements (UCE), have silencer activity and play essential roles in cell growth and drug response. NCREs with redundant functions could also be identified from the screening data. This dual-CRISPR system is also compatible with single-cell sequencing. We identified that UCE PAX6_Tarzan might be critical in heart development, as removing it from human embryonic stem cells led to defects in cardiomyocyte differentiation. Our study provides further evidence that many NCREs have important biological functions contributing to human biology and diseases, and may serve as future drug targets.

Effect of deleting ultra-conserved elements PAX6_Tarzan, PBX3_Claudia on gene expression in K562 cells

Project description:Non-coding regulatory elements (NCRE) represent a major fraction of the human genome, play important roles in different biological pathways, and have the potential as genomic medicine targets. We developed a straightforward dual-CRISPR screening system capable of deleting thousands of NCREs genome-wide to study their functions in distinct biological contexts in K562 cells. Here we reported 4 top hits from the genome-wide screen of ultra-conserved elements (UCE), i.e. PAX6_Tarzan(chr11:31810437-31810870, hg19) and PBX3_Claudia(chr9:128457564-128457785, hg19) play essential roles in cell growth and drug response.

Promiscuity of enhancer, coding and non-coding transcription functions in ultraconserved sequence elements

Project description:The manuscript by D. Licastro and colleagues “Promiscuity of enhancer, coding and non-coding transcription functions in ultraconserved sequence elements” presents an overview of experimental and computational approaches employed by the authors to perform a multi-facet characterization of ultraconserved elements (UCEs). The authors present an interesting analysis where they investigate the transcription of UCEs in mouse development at different stages by conductin an microarray experiment. Some of these results are further verified by RT-PCR. 12 Samples, 4 groups 3 samples per group.

Optimized RNA-targeting CRISPR/Cas13d technology outperforms shRNA in identifying functional circRNAs

Project description:Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are widely expressed, but their functions remain largely unknown. To study circRNAs in a high-throughput manner, short hairpin RNA (shRNA) screens1 have recently been used to deplete circRNAs by targeting their unique back-splicing junction (BSJ) sites. Here, we report frequent discrepancies between shRNA-mediated circRNA knockdown efficiency and the corresponding biological effect, raising pressing concerns about the robustness of shRNA screening for circRNA functional characterization. To address this issue, we leveraged the CRISPR/Cas13d system2 for functional study of circRNAs by optimizing the strategy for designing single guide RNAs to deplete circRNAs. We then performed shRNA and CRISPR/Cas13d parallel screenings and demonstrated that shRNA-mediated circRNA screening yielded a high rate of false positive phenotypes. Furthermore, using a CRISPR/Cas13d screening library targeting over 2,500 human hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC) related circRNAs, we identified a group of circRNAs, whose inhibition increased the therapeutic efficacy of sorafenib, an approved HCC drug. Collectively, these data demonstrate that CRISPR/Cas13d system is an effective approach to study the function of circRNAs in a high-throughput manner.

CRISPR-Cas9 epigenome editing enables high-throughput screening for functional regulatory elements in the human genome [CERES]

Project description:Large genome mapping consortia and thousands of genome-wide association studies have identified non-protein coding elements in the genome as a having a central role in tissue development, cell-type specification, response to environmental or pharmacologic signals, and susceptibility to most common diseases. However, decoding the function of the millions of putative regulatory elements discovered in these studies remains a primary challenge. New CRISPR/Cas9-based epigenome editing technologies have enabled the precise perturbation of the activity of specific regulatory elements. Here we describe CRISPR/Cas9-based Epigenomic Regulatory Element Screening (CERES) for high-throughput screening of regulatory element activity within the native genomic context. We perform both loss- and gain-of-function screens with complementary epigenome editing tools to identify known and unknown regulatory elements of medically relevant genes in human cells. The high-throughput functional annotation of putative regulatory elements by CERES constitutes a new platform for screening biological mechanisms that cannot be perturbed by traditional methods.
