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

ABSTRACT: 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.

CRISPR/Cas9 screen of T-ALL cells (DND-41) in the presence of DMSO, CB-103 or GSI (DAPT).

Project description:The efficacy of targeted therapies for treatment of cancer patients is often limited by development of drug resistance. Potential resistance mechanisms to pharmacological Notch1 inhibition mediated by GSI or CB-103 in T-ALL are currently unclear. Thus, we performed a genome-wide loss-of-function (LoF) CRISPR/Cas9 screen to identify genes responsible for resistance to Notch inhibition and novel combination therapies for efficient treatment of human T-ALL. We used a Notch-dependent human T-ALL cell line, DND-41, which responds moderately to both GSI and CB-103 treatment in vitro. DND-41 cells stably expressing Cas9 were infected with human GeCKO v2 CRIPSR libraries, containing 123,411 sgRNAs targeting 19,050 genes and treated with either vehicle, GSI or CB-103 for 21 days enabling both positive and negative selection of sgRNAs.

Whole-genome CRISPR screen of etoposide-treated U2OS and U2OS p53KO cells, and RNAseq of U2OS cells incubated in media conditioned by etoposide-treated U2OS or U2OS p53KO cells.

Project description:CRISPR screen: U2OS or U2OS p53KO cells expressing Cas9 were transduced with a whole-genome library of CRISPR sgRNAs, then treated with either DMSO or etoposide. Differential sgRNA abundances were calculated for each condition and used to determine the effect of each single gene knockout on fitness and the drug-induced death rate. RNA-Seq: U2OS or U2OS p53KO cells were cultured with either DMSO or etoposide for 48 hours, and then U2OS cells were incubated in this conditioned media for 8 hours. RNA was collected and use to observe differential expression changes between conditions.

Genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 screens reveal loss of redundancy between PKMYT1 and WEE1 in Glioblastoma stem-like cells

Project description:To identify new therapeutic targets for Glioblastoma (GBM), we performed genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 "knockout" (KO) screens in patient-derived GBM stem-like cells (GSCs) and human neural stem/progenitors (NSCs), non-neoplastic stem cell controls, for genes required for their in vitro growth. Surprisingly, the vast majority GSC-lethal hits were found outside of molecular networks commonly altered in GBM and GSCs (e.g., oncogenic drivers). In vitro and in vivo validation of GSC-specific targets revealed several strong hits, including the wee1-like kinase, PKMYT1/Myt1. Mechanistic studies demonstrated that PKMYT1 acts redundantly with WEE1 to inhibit Cyclin B-CDK1 activity via CDK1-Tyr15 phosphorylation and to promote timely completion of mitosis in NSCs. However, in GSCs, this redundancy is lost, likely as a result of oncogenic signaling, causing GBM-specific lethality. A whole-genome CRISPR-Cas9 knockout screens targeting over 18,000 genes using the all-in-one LV-sgRNA:Cas9 platform system were performed using a âshot gunâ approach by transducing 2 GBM patient-derived isolates and 2 human neural stem cell isolates with the pool library (2 biological replicates), and cultures were outgrown for ~3 weeks. The end time point of each screen was compared to day 0 in order to determine which sgRNAs were overrepresented or underrepresented in the population.

Gene expression of ZNF335, RNPC3, CLP1 and LIN52 inducible knockouts in HeLa cells

Project description:From our pooled optical screen, we identified an unexpected role for ZNF335, a transcription factor, in spindle bipolarity. We also found that RNPC3, CLP1 or LIN52 are regulators of gene expression on various levels, displayed an unexpected, specific kinetochore defect. Here we generated individual doxycycline-inducible Cas9 cell lines expressing lentiviral-integrated sgRNAs targeting ZNF335, LIN52, CLP1, and RNPC3 to evaluate differential roles in gene expression regulation.
