Generation of site-specific mutations in the rat genome via CRISPR/Cas9.
The laboratory rat is a valuable model organism for basic biological studies and drug development. However, due to the lack of genetic tools for site-specific genetic modification in the rat genome, more and more researchers chose the mouse as their favored mammalian models due to the sophisticated embryonic stem cell-based gene-targeting techniques available. Recently, engineered nucleases, including zinc finger nucleases, transcription activator-like effector nucleases, and CRISPR/Cas9 systems, have been adapted to generate knockout rats efficiently. The purpose of this section is to provide detailed procedures for the generation of site-specific mutations in the rat genome through injection of Cas9/sgRNA into one-cell embryos.

[Advances in the RNA-targeting CRISPR-Cas systems].
The CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats)-Cas (CRISPR associated proteins) system is an adaptive immune system of bacteria and archaea against phages, plasmids and other exogenous genetic materials. The system uses a special RNA (CRISPR RNA, crRNA) guided endonuclease to cut the exogenous genetic materials complementary to crRNA, thus blocking the infection of exogenous nucleic acid. According to the composition of the effector complex, CRISPR-Cas system can be divided into two categories: class 1 (including type Ⅰ, Ⅳ, and Ⅲ) and class 2 (including type Ⅱ, Ⅴ, and Ⅵ). Several CRISPR-Cas systems have been found to have very strong ability to specifically target RNA editing, such as type Ⅵ CRISPR-Cas13 system and type Ⅲ CRISPR-Cas7-11 system. Recently, several systems have been widely used in the field of RNA editing, making them a powerful tool for gene editing. Understanding the composition, structure, molecular mechanism and potential application of RNA-targeting CRISPR-Cas systems will facilitate the mechanistic research of this system and provide new ideas for developing gene editing tools.

The multiplexed CRISPR targeting platforms.
The discovery and engineering of the Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) in the past several years have revolutionized biomedical research. The CRISPR technology showed great potential to advance detection, prevention, and treatment of human diseases in the near future. Compared to previous developed genome editing approaches, such as zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs) and transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs), the CRISPR-based systems have numerous advantages. One example is that the CRISPR systems can be easily adopted to efficiently target multiple genes simultaneously. Several strategies and toolboxes have been developed to achieve multiplexed targeting using the CRISPR systems. In this short review, we will discuss the principle, approach, and application of these strategies.

Target binding and residence: a new determinant of DNA double-strand break repair pathway choice in CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing.
The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein 9 (Cas9) is widely used for targeted genomic and epigenomic modifications and imaging in cells and organisms, and holds tremendous promise in clinical applications. The efficiency and accuracy of the technology are partly determined by the target binding affinity and residence time of Cas9-single-guide RNA (sgRNA) at a given site. However, little attention has been paid to the effect of target binding affinity and residence duration on the repair of Cas9-induced DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). We propose that the choice of DSB repair pathway may be altered by variation in the binding affinity and residence duration of Cas9-sgRNA at the cleaved target, contributing to significantly heterogeneous mutations in CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing. Here, we discuss the effect of Cas9-sgRNA target binding and residence on the choice of DSB repair pathway in CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing, and the opportunity this presents to optimize Cas9-based technology.

Plant genome engineering in full bloom.
The recent development of tools for precise editing of user-specified sequences is rapidly changing the landscape for plant genetics and biotechnology. It is now possible to target mutations and regulatory proteins to specific sites in a genome using zinc-finger nucleases (ZFNs), transcription activator-like endonucleases (TALENs), or the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein 9 (Cas9) system. Here we provide an update of recent developments in CRISPR/Cas9 technology and highlight online resources that will help biologists adopt new genome-editing tools.

Conditional, Tissue-Specific CRISPR/Cas9 Vector System in Zebrafish Reveals the Role of Nrp1b in Heart Regeneration.
BACKGROUND: CRISPR/Cas9 (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats/clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat-associated 9) technology-mediated genome editing has significantly improved the targeted inactivation of genes in vitro and in vivo in many organisms. Neuropilins play crucial roles in zebrafish heart regeneration, heart failure in mice, and electrical remodeling after myocardial infarction in rats. But the cell-specific functions of nrp1 have not been described before. In this study, we have investigated the role of nrp1 isoforms, including nrp1a and nrp1b, in cardiomyocytes during cardiac injury and regeneration in adult zebrafish hearts. METHODS: In this study, we have reported a novel CRISPR-based vector system for conditional tissue-specific gene ablation in zebrafish. Specifically, the cardiac-specific cmlc2 promoter drives Cas9 expression to silence the nrp1 gene in cardiomyocytes in a heat-shock inducible manner. This vector system establishes a unique tool to regulate the gene knockout in both the developmental and adult stages and hence widens the possibility of loss-of-function studies in zebrafish at different stages of development and adulthood. Using this approach, we investigated the role of neuropilin isoforms nrp1a and nrp1b in response to cardiac injury and regeneration in adult zebrafish hearts. RESULTS: We observed that both the isoforms (nrp1a and nrp1b) are upregulated after the cryoinjury. Interestingly, the nrp1b knockout significantly delayed heart regeneration and impaired cardiac function in the adult zebrafish after cryoinjury, demonstrated by reduced heart rate, ejection fractions, and fractional shortening. In addition, we show that the knockdown of nrp1b but not nrp1a induces activation of the cardiac remodeling genes in response to cryoinjury. CONCLUSIONS: To our knowledge, this study is novel where we have reported a heat-shock-mediated conditional knockdown of nrp1a and nrp1b isoforms using CRISPR/Cas9 technology in the cardiomyocyte in zebrafish and furthermore have identified a crucial role for the nrp1b isoform in zebrafish cardiac remodeling and eventually heart function in response to injury.

RNA-based CRISPR-Mediated Loss-of-Function Mutagenesis in Human Pluripotent Stem Cells.
Current approaches for Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-Associated-9 (Cas9)-mediated genome editing in human pluripotent stem (PS) cells mainly employ plasmids or ribonucleoprotein complexes. Here, we devise an improved transfection protocol of in vitro transcribed Cas9 mRNA and crRNA:tracrRNA duplex that can effectively generate indels in four genetic loci (two active and two inactive) and demonstrate utility in four human PS cell lines (one embryonic and three induced PS cell lines). Our improved protocol incorporating a Cas9-linked selection marker and a staggered transfection strategy promotes targeting efficiency up to 85% and biallelic targeting efficiency up to 76.5% of total mutant clones. The superior targeting efficiency and the non-integrative nature of our approach underscore broader applications in high-throughput arrayed CRISPR screening and in generating custom-made or off-the-shelf cell products for human therapy.

FDA Regulation of Clinical Applications of CRISPR-CAS Gene-Editing Technology.
Scientists have repurposed an adaptive immune system of single cell organisms to create a new type of gene-editing tool: CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats)-Cas technology. Scientists in China have reported its use in the genome modification of non-viable human embryos. This has ignited a spirited debate about the moral, ethical, scientific, and social implications of human germline genome engineering. There have also been calls for regulations; however, FDA has yet to formally announce its oversight of clinical applications of CRISPR-Cas systems. This paper reviews FDA regulation of previously controversial biotechnology breakthroughs, recombinant DNA and human cloning. It then shows that FDA is well positioned to regulate CRISPR-Cas clinical applications, due to its legislative mandates, its existing regulatory frameworks for gene therapies and assisted reproductive technologies, and other considerations.

Site-specific integration in CHO cells mediated by CRISPR/Cas9 and homology-directed DNA repair pathway.
Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells are the most widely used mammalian hosts for production of therapeutic proteins. However, development of recombinant CHO cell lines has been hampered by unstable and variable transgene expression caused by random integration. Here we demonstrate efficient targeted gene integration into site-specific loci in CHO cells using CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing system and compatible donor plasmid harboring a gene of interest (GOI) and short homology arms. This strategy has enabled precise insertion of a 3.7-kb gene expression cassette at defined loci in CHO cells following a simple drug-selection, resulting in homogeneous transgene expression. Taken together, the results displayed here can help pave the way for the targeting of GOI to specific loci in CHO cells, increasing the likelihood of generating isogenic cell lines with consistent protein production.
