[Current researches and prospects of human induced pluripotent stem cells and gene editing technology of CRISPR/Cas9 in inherited ocular diseases].
Human induced pluripotent stem cells have the ability to differentiate into specific cell types or tissues of the eye in humans and have application prospects in retinal cell transplantation, corneal transplantation, and lens regeneration. Gene editing technology of clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats/crispr-associated protein-9 nuclease (CRISPR/Cas9) can introduce causative mutations of inherited ocular diseases into human induced pluripotent stem cells effectively. Then they can be further differentiated into specific somatic cells maintaining a genetic disease background, which can mimic the occurrence of inherited ocular diseases in vitro. The cell model may help scientists study the mechanism of human disease development, establish an in vitro screening platform to find therapeutic drugs, and correct genetic mutations in the human genome for cell therapy. The combination of stem cells and gene editing technology is revolutionizing the regenerative medicine in ophthalmology and gene therapy of inherited ocular diseases. This review summarizes the current application of human induced pluripotent stem cells and its combination with gene editing technology in the study of inherited ocular diseases.

From Gene Targeting to Genome Editing: Transgenic animals applications and beyond.
Genome modification technologies are powerful tools for molecular biology and related areas. Advances in animal transgenesis and genome editing technologies during the past three decades allowed systematic interrogation of gene function that can help model how the genome influences cellular physiology. Genetic engineering via homologous recombination (HR) has been the standard method to modify genomic sequences. Nevertheless, nuclease-guided genome editing methods that were developed recently, such as ZFN, TALEN and CRISPR/Cas, opened new perspectives for biomedical research. Here, we present a brief historical perspective of genome modification methods, focusing on transgenic mice models. Moreover, we describe how new techniques were discovered and improved, present the paradigm shifts and discuss their limitations and applications for biomedical research as well as possible future directions.

Mesenchymal Stem Cell Engineering.
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are multipotent stem cells that display the capacity to generate the tissue in which they reside. MSC have been used as progenitor cells to engineer cartilage implants that can be used to repair chondral and osteochondral lesions, or as trophic producers of bioactive factors to initiate endogenous regenerative activities in the arthritic joint. Targeted gene therapy might further enhance the capacity of MSC for chondrogenesis. By using a clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats/CRISPR-associated protein genomic manipulation technique, target-gene-modified MSC would be a promising therapeutic option for regeneration of diseased joints in the treatment of RA.

Chemical Biology Approaches to Genome Editing: Understanding, Controlling, and Delivering Programmable Nucleases.
Programmable DNA nucleases have provided scientists with the unprecedented ability to probe, regulate, and manipulate the human genome. Zinc-finger nucleases (ZFNs), transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs), and the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat-Cas9 system (CRISPR-Cas9) represent a powerful array of tools that can bind to and cleave a specified DNA sequence. In their canonical forms, these nucleases induce double-strand breaks at a DNA locus of interest that can trigger cellular DNA repair processes that disrupt or replace genes. The fusion of these programmable nucleases with a variety of other protein domains has led to a rapidly growing suite of tools for activating, repressing, visualizing, and modifying loci of interest. Maximizing the usefulness and therapeutic relevance of these tools, however, requires precisely controlling their activity and specificity to minimize potentially toxic side effects arising from off-target activities. This need has motivated the application of chemical biology principles and methods to genome-editing proteins, including the engineering of variants of these proteins with improved or altered specificities, and the development of genetic, chemical, optical, and protein delivery methods that control the activity of these agents in cells. Advancing the capabilities, safety, effectiveness, and therapeutic relevance of genome-engineering proteins will continue to rely on chemical biology strategies that manipulate their activity, specificity, and localization.

Targeting CDK11 in osteosarcoma cells using the CRISPR-Cas9 system.
Osteosarcoma is the most common type primary malignant tumor of bone. Patients with regional osteosarcoma are routinely treated with surgery and chemotherapy. In addition, many patients with metastatic or recurrent osteosarcoma show poor prognosis with current chemotherapy agents. Therefore, it is important to improve the general condition and the overall survival rate of patients with osteosarcoma by identifying novel therapeutic strategies. Recent studies have revealed that CDK11 is essential in osteosarcoma cell growth and survival by inhibiting CDK11 mRNA expression with RNAi. Here, we apply the Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)-Cas9 system, a robust and highly efficient novel genome editing tool, to determine the effect of targeting endogenous CDK11 gene at the DNA level in osteosarcoma cell lines. We show that CDK11 can be efficiently silenced by CRISPR-Cas9. Inhibition of CDK11 is associated with decreased cell proliferation and viability, and induces cell death in osteosarcoma cell lines KHOS and U-2OS. Furthermore, the migration and invasion activities are also markedly reduced by CDK11 knockout. These results demonstrate that CRISPR-Cas9 system is a useful tool for the modification of endogenous CDK11 gene expression, and CRISPR-Cas9 targeted CDK11 knockout may be a promising therapeutic regimen for the treatment of osteosarcoma.

In vitro CRISPR/Cas9 system for genome editing of Aspergillus niger based on removable bidirectional selection marker AmdS.
We established an in vitro clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-associated RNA-guided DNA endonucleases (Cas9) system to efficiently produce specific genome editing in Aspergillus niger, using a novel recyclable, bidirectional selection marker gene amdS without the need of prior production of an amdS mutant. The donor DNA plasmid consisted of amdS open reading frame, promoter, terminator, and directional repeats (DRs) flanking sequences. It was cotransformed with recombinant nuclease Cas9 and the sgRNA, which targets to the pigment gene olvA of A. niger strain CBS513.88. The positive olive transformants, other than the wild-type strain, were able to grow on the media containing acetamide as the sole nitrogen source and cesium chloride. Furthermore, culturing the transformants on media with fluoroacetamide and urea allowed a loop-out of the amdS expression cassette by recombining the flanking DRs. This study confirmed the facts that the endogenous amdS can be used as a dominant marker and that it can be removed by counter-selection in gene editing of A. niger. The proposed in vitro CRISPR/Cas9 method offers a powerful tool for marker-free genetic manipulation of filamentous fungi industrial-specific strains.

Signal amplification and output of CRISPR/Cas-based biosensing systems: A review.
CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats)/Cas (CRISPR-associated) proteins are powerful gene-editing tools because of their ability to accurately recognize and manipulate nucleic acids. Besides gene-editing function, they also show great promise in biosensing applications due to the superiority of easy design and precise targeting. To improve the performance of CRISPR/Cas-based biosensing systems, various nucleic acid-based signal amplification techniques are elaborately incorporated. The incorporation of these amplification techniques not only greatly increases the detection sensitivity and specificity, but also extends the detectable target range, as well as makes the use of various signal output modes possible. Therefore, summarizing the use of signal amplification techniques in sensing systems and elucidating their roles in improving sensing performance are very necessary for the development of more superior CRISPR/Cas-based biosensors for various applications. In this review, CRISPR/Cas-based biosensors are summarized from two aspects: the incorporation of signal amplification techniques in three kinds of CRISPR/Cas-based biosensing systems (Cas9, Cas12 and Cas13-based ones) and the signal output modes used by these biosensors. The challenges and prospects for the future development of CRISPR/Cas-based biosensors are also discussed.

The application of CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing tool in cancer immunotherapy.
Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-associated protein 9 (CRISPR-Cas9) system was originally discovered in prokaryotes functioned as a part of the adaptive immune system. Because of its high efficiency and easy operability, CRISPR-Cas9 system has been developed to be a powerful and versatile gene editing tool shortly after its discovery. Given that multiple genetic alterations are the main factors that drive genesis and development of tumor, CRISPR-Cas9 system has been applied to correct cancer-causing gene mutations and deletions and to engineer immune cells, such as chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR T) cells, for cancer immunotherapeutic applications. Recently, CRISPR-Cas9-based CAR T-cell preparation has been an important breakthrough in antitumor therapy. Here, we summarize the mechanism, delivery and the application of CRISPR-Cas9 in gene editing, and discuss the challenges and future directions of CRISPR-Cas9 in cancer immunotherapy.
