Project description:The CRISPR/Cas13 system has garnered attention as a potential tool for RNA editing. However, the degree of collateral activity among various Cas13 orthologs and their cytotoxic effects in mammalian cells remain contentious, potentially impacting their applications. In this study, we observed differential collateral activities for LwaCas13a and RfxCas13d in 293T and U87 cells by applying both sensitive dual-fluorescence (mRuby/GFP) reporter and quantifiable dual-luciferase (Fluc/Rluc) reporter, with LwaCas13a displaying notable activity contrary to previous reports. However, significant collateral RNA cleavage exerted only a modest impact on cell viability. Furthermore, the collateral activity of LwaCas13a mildly impeded but did not arrest, porcine embryo development. Our findings reveal that distinct collateral RNA cleavage by Cas13 slightly suppresses mammalian cell proliferation and embryo development. This could account for the lack of reported collateral effects in numerous prior studies and offers new insights into the implications of the collateral activity of Cas13 for clinical application.

Project description:CRISPR-Cas13 systems have been adapted as versatile toolkits for RNA-related applications. Here we systematically evaluate the performance of several prominent Cas13 family effectors (Cas13a, Cas13b and Cas13d) under lentiviral vectors and reveal surprisingly differential defects and characteristics of these systems. Using RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing, transcriptome profiling, biochemistry analysis and high-throughput CRISPR-Cas13 screening approaches, we determine that each Cas13 system has its intrinsic RNA targets in mammalian cells. Viral process-related host genes can be targeted by Cas13 and affect the production of fertile lentiviral particles, thereby restricting the utility of lentiviral Cas13 systems. Multiple RNase activities of Cas13 are involved in endogenous RNA targeting. Unlike target-induced collateral effect, intrinsic RNA targeting can be specific, target-independent and dynamically tuned by varied states of Cas13 nucleases. Our work not only provides guidance to appropriately utilize lentiviral Cas13 systems, but also raises cautions about intrinsic RNA targeting during Cas13-based basic and therapeutic applications.

Project description:Cas13 is a unique family of CRISPR endonucleases exhibiting programmable binding and cleavage of RNAs and is a strong candidate for eukaryotic RNA knockdown in the laboratory and the clinic. However, sequence-specific binding of Cas13 to the target RNA unleashes non-specific bystander RNA cleavage, or collateral activity, which may confound knockdown experiments and raises concerns for therapeutic applications. Although conserved across orthologs and robust in cell-free and bacterial environments, the extent of collateral activity in mammalian cells remains disputed. Here, we investigate Cas13d collateral activity in the context of an RNA-targeting therapy for myotonic dystrophy type 1, a disease caused by a transcribed long CTG repeat expansion. We find that when targeting CUGn RNA in HeLa and other cell lines, Cas13d depletes endogenous and transgenic RNAs, interferes with critical cellular processes, and activates stress response and apoptosis pathways. We also observe collateral effects when targeting other repetitive and unique transgenic sequences, and we provide evidence for collateral activity when targeting highly expressed endogenous transcripts. To minimize collateral activity for repeat-targeting Cas13d therapeutics, we introduce gRNA excision for negative-autoregulatory optimization (GENO), a simple strategy that leverages crRNA processing to control Cas13d expression and is easily integrated into an AAV gene therapy. We argue that thorough assessment of collateral activity is necessary when applying Cas13d in mammalian cells and that implementation of GENO illustrates the advantages of compact and universally robust regulatory systems for Cas-based gene therapies.

Project description:We found that several variants with 2-4 mutations on Higher Eukaryotes and Prokaryotes Nucleotide-binding (HEPN) domains showed undiminished on-target activity but markedly reduced collateral effects. Furthermore, transcriptome-wide off-target effects and cell growth arrest induced by wild-type Cas13d were found to be absent for a Cas13d variant. Thus, high-fidelity Cas13 variants with minimal collateral effects are now available for the targeted degradation of RNAs in basic research and therapeutic applications.

Project description:Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats/CRISPR-associated protein (CRISPR/Cas) technologies have evolved rapidly over the past decade with the continuous discovery of new Cas systems. In particular, RNA-targeting CRISPR-Cas13 proteins are promising single-effector systems to regulate target mRNAs without altering genomic DNA, yet the current Cas13 systems are still restrained by suboptimal efficiencies. Here, we show that U1-driven CRISPR RNAs (crRNAs) can dramatically increase the efficiency of various applications, including RNA knockdown and editing, without modifying the Cas13 protein effectors. We confirm that U1-driven crRNAs are exported into the cytoplasm, while conventional U6 promoter-driven crRNAs are mostly confined in the nucleus. Furthermore, we reveal that the end positions of crRNAs expressed by the U1 promoter are consistent regardless of different guide sequences and lengths. We also demonstrate that U1-driven crRNAs, but not U6-driven crRNAs, can efficiently repress the translation of target genes in combination with catalytically inactive Cas13 proteins. Finally, we show that U1-driven crRNAs can counteract the inhibitory effect of miRNAs. Our simple and effective engineering enables unprecedented cytosolic RNA-targeting applications.

Project description:The intrinsic collateral cleavage activity of Cas13d,which refers to the gRNA-independent degradation of bystander RNA, significantly limits its therapeutic potential. To extensively evaluate the collateral effects of hpCas13d genome-wide, we conducted RNA-seq analysis of the transcriptome in HEK293T cells after the transfections with dCas13d, wtCas13d, hpCas13d, and hfCas13d . Compared to dCas13d, wtCas13d with a PPIA gRNA (reported to induce the significant collateral cleavage) resulted in significant downregulations of thousands genes. In sharp contrast, hpCas13d and hfCas13d showed much less off-target genes, respectively. These findings demonstrate that hpCas13d exhibits reduced collateral activity, rendering it suitable for in vivo applications.

Project description:Current gene silencing tools based on RNA interference (RNAi) or more recently the CRISPR-Cas13 systems have critical drawbacks in such as off-target effects (RNAi) or collateral mRNA cleavage (CRISPR-Cas13). Thus, a more specific method of gene knockdown has been demanded. Here we developed “CRISPRδ”, an approach for translational silencing, harnessing the catalytically inactive Cas13 proteins (dCas13). Owing to the tight association with mRNA, dCas13 serves as a physical roadblock for scanning ribosomes in translation initiation, but not for elongating ribosomes, with no effect on mRNA stability. Guide RNAs covering the start codon lead to the highest efficacy, irrespective of translation initiation mechanisms: cap-dependent, IRES-dependent, or RAN translations. Strikingly, genome-wide ribosome profiling revealed extremely high specificity of CRISPRδ in a gene knockdown. Moreover, the fusion of a translation repressor to dCas13 ensured further improvement of the knockdown efficacy. Our method provides a framework for translational repression-based gene silencing in eukaryotes.
