Applications of CRISPR-Cas9 Technology to Genome Editing in Glioblastoma Multiforme.
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is an aggressive malignancy of the brain and spinal cord with a poor life expectancy. The low survivability of GBM patients can be attributed, in part, to its heterogeneity and the presence of multiple genetic alterations causing rapid tumor growth and resistance to conventional therapy. The Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)-CRISPR associated (Cas) nuclease 9 (CRISPR-Cas9) system is a cost-effective and reliable gene editing technology, which is widely used in cancer research. It leads to novel discoveries of various oncogenes that regulate autophagy, angiogenesis, and invasion and play important role in pathogenesis of various malignancies, including GBM. In this review article, we first describe the principle and methods of delivery of CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing. Second, we summarize the current knowledge and major applications of CRISPR-Cas9 to identifying and modifying the genetic regulators of the hallmark of GBM. Lastly, we elucidate the major limitations of current CRISPR-Cas9 technology in the GBM field and the future perspectives. CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing aids in identifying novel coding and non-coding transcriptional regulators of the hallmarks of GBM particularly in vitro, while work using in vivo systems requires further investigation.

Facilitating gene editing in potato: a Single-Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) map of the Solanum tuberosum L. cv. Desiree genome.
Genome editing is a powerful tool for plant functional genomics allowing for multiallelic targeted mutagenesis. The recent development of Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR associated protein 9 (Cas9) systems for gene editing in plants allows for simple, cost-effective introduction of site-specific double-stranded DNA breaks. The nuclear genomes of a homozygous doubled-monoploid potato clone (DM) and a heterozygous diploid clone (RH) have been sequenced in 2011. However, common potato cultivars display a highly heterozygous autotetraploid genome thus complicating target design for tetra-allelic gene editing. Here, we report on the SNP physical map of the widely used Solanum tuberosum L. cv. Desiree and on the position of the diverse indels providing an essential tool for target design in genome editing approaches. We used this tool for designing a specific gRNA and successfully knocking-out a newly discovered starch synthase gene (SS6) in potato. Resequencing data are publicly available at the Sequence Read Archive of the NCBI (accession number: PRJNA507597) and will represent a valuable resource for functional genomic studies of various metabolic pathways, cell and plant physiology as well as high-throughput reverse genetics in potato.

Pathways Toward a Functional HIV-1 Cure: Balancing Promise and Perils of CRISPR Therapy.
First identified as a viral defense mechanism, clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) and CRISPR-associated proteins (Cas) has been transformed into a gene-editing tool. It now affords promise in the treatment and potential eradication of a range of divergent genetic, cancer, infectious, and degenerative diseases. Adapting CRISPR-Cas into a programmable endonuclease directed guide RNA (gRNA) has attracted international attention. It was recently awarded the 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. The limitations of this technology have also been identified and work has been made in providing potential remedies. For treatment of the human immunodeficiency virus type one (HIV-1), in particular, a CRISPR-Cas9 approach was adapted to target then eliminate latent proviral DNA. To this end, we reviewed the promise and perils of CRISPR-Cas gene-editing strategies for HIV-1 elimination. Obstacles include precise delivery to reservoir tissue and cell sites of latent HIV-1 as well as assay sensitivity and specificity. The detection and consequent excision of common viral strain sequences and the avoidance of off-target activity will serve to facilitate a final goal of HIV-1 DNA elimination and accelerate testing in infected animals ultimately for use in man.

CRISPR/Cas9 Mediated Therapeutic Approach in Huntington's Disease.
The pathogenic mechanisms of these diseases must be well understood for the treatment of neurological disorders such as Huntington's disease. Huntington's Disease (HD), a dominant and neurodegenerative disease, is characterized by the CAG re-expansion that occurs in the gene encoding the polyglutamine-expanded mutant Huntingtin (mHTT) protein. Genome editing approaches include zinc-finger nucleases (ZFNs), transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs) and Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats/Caspase 9 (CRISPR/Cas9) systems. CRISPR/Cas9 technology allows effective gene editing in different cell types and organisms. Through these systems are created isogenic control of human origin induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). In human and mouse models, HD-iPSC lines can be continuously corrected using these systems. HD-iPSCs can be corrected through the CRISPR/Cas9 system and the cut-and-paste mechanism using isogenic control iPSCs. This mechanism is a piggyBac transposon-based selection system that can effectively switch between vectors and chromosomes. In studies conducted, it has been determined that in neural cells derived from HD-iPSC, there are isogenic controls as corrected lines recovered from phenotypic abnormalities and gene expression changes. It has been determined that trinucleotide repeat disorders occurring in HD can be cured by single-guide RNA (sgRNA) and normal exogenous DNA restoration, known as the single guideline RNA specific to Cas9. The purpose of this review in addition to give general information about HD, a neurodegenerative disorder is to explained the role of CRISPR/Cas9 system with iPSCs in HD treatment.

CRISPR-Cas-Directed Genome Editing in Maize.
Genetic engineering techniques are essential for both plant science and agricultural biotechnology, enabling functional genomics studies, dissection of complex traits, and targeted crop improvement. Among the various genetic tools currently in use, clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats-CRISPR-associated protein (CRISPR-Cas)-based genome editing has emerged as a transformative technology due to its precision, versatility, and ease of use. In particular, CRISPR-Cas9 has become the most widely adopted platform for genome manipulation in plant systems, including maize, owing to its high editing efficiency, multiplexing capabilities, and scalability for diverse applications. This review highlights the biological significance and technical considerations necessary to implement CRISPR-Cas9 in maize. We discuss critical components for successful editing, including the selection of strong and tissue-appropriate promoters for Cas gene and guide RNA expression, codon optimization of Cas nuclease genes, effective guide RNA design, and multiplexing strategies using RNA polymerase III (Pol III)- or Pol II-dependent promoter-driven polycistronic expression systems. Additionally, we provide insights into vector construction methodologies and reliable genotyping techniques to detect and validate genome edits. Together, these elements constitute a practical framework for deploying genome editing in maize research and breeding. By optimizing these parameters, researchers can enhance the efficiency and accuracy of CRISPR-mediated genome modifications, accelerating functional genomic discovery and the development of improved maize varieties tailored to meet future agricultural demands.

CRISPR-Cas9 technology: As an efficient genome modification tool in the cancer diagnosis and treatment.
Cancer is the second most common cause of death globally and is a major public health concern. Managing this disease is difficult due to its multiple stages and numerous genetic and epigenetic changes. Traditional cancer diagnosis and treatment methods have limitations, making it crucial to develop new modalities to combat the increasing burden of cancer. The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-CRISPR-associated protein 9 (Cas9) system has transformed genetic engineering due to its simplicity, specificity, low cytotoxicity, and cost-effectiveness. It has been proposed as an effective technology to enhance cancer diagnosis and treatment strategies. This article presents the most recent discoveries regarding the structure, mechanism, and delivery methods of the highly powerful genome editing tool, CRISPR-Cas9. In terms of diagnosis, the article examines the role of CRISPR-Cas9 in detecting microRNAs and DNA methylation, and discusses two popular gene detection techniques that utilize the CRISPR-Cas system: DNA endonuclease-targeted CRISPR trans reporter and specific high sensitivity enzymatic reporter unlocking. Regarding treatment, the article explores several genes that have been identified and modified by CRISPR-Cas9 for effective tumorigenesis of common cancers such as breast, lung, and colorectal cancer. The present review also addresses the challenges and ethical issues associated with using CRISPR-Cas9 as a diagnostic and therapeutic tool. Despite some limitations, CRISPR-Cas9-based cancer diagnosis has the potential to become the next generation of cancer diagnostic tools, and the continuous progress of CRISPR-Cas9 can greatly aid in cancer treatment.

Recent advances and applications of CRISPR-Cas9 in cancer immunotherapy.
The incidence and mortality of cancer are the major health issue worldwide. Apart from the treatments developed to date, the unsatisfactory therapeutic effects of cancers have not been addressed by broadening the toolbox. The advent of immunotherapy has ushered in a new era in the treatments of solid tumors, but remains limited and requires breaking adverse effects. Meanwhile, the development of advanced technologies can be further boosted by gene analysis and manipulation at the molecular level. The advent of cutting-edge genome editing technology, especially clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR-Cas9), has demonstrated its potential to break the limits of immunotherapy in cancers. In this review, the mechanism of CRISPR-Cas9-mediated genome editing and a powerful CRISPR toolbox are introduced. Furthermore, we focus on reviewing the impact of CRISPR-induced double-strand breaks (DSBs) on cancer immunotherapy (knockout or knockin). Finally, we discuss the CRISPR-Cas9-based genome-wide screening for target identification, emphasis the potential of spatial CRISPR genomics, and present the comprehensive application and challenges in basic research, translational medicine and clinics of CRISPR-Cas9.

Highly Efficient One-Step Tagging of Endogenous Genes in Primary Cells Using CRISPR-Cas Ribonucleoproteins.
Genome editing tools have simplified the generation of knock-in gene fusions, which are widely used to study proteins in their natural context. However, strategies for tagging endogenous genes in primary cells are few and inefficient. In this study, we developed a one-step endogenous gene-tagging strategy by co-delivery of clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-Cas9 ribonucleoprotein complexes and chemically modified donor DNA into cells. Upon CRISPR-Cas9 blunt-end double-strand breaks, highly efficient site-specific insertion of genetic materials (3 × FLAG or eGFP) was achieved in both cell lines and primary cells. We further optimized the gene-tagging efficiency and precision by using CRISPR-Cas12a, which produces a staggered cut with a 5' overhang and thus enables precise ligation of DNA donors with a complementary 3' overhang. With high efficiency and flexibility, this platform would be extremely useful for multiplex endogenous genes tagging and further exploration of protein functions in various cell types.

Plant organellar genomes: much done, much more to do.
Plastids and mitochondria are the only organelles that possess genomes of endosymbiotic origin. In recent decades, advances in sequencing technologies have contributed to a meteoric rise in the number of published organellar genomes, and have revealed greatly divergent evolutionary trajectories. In this review, we quantify the abundance and distribution of sequenced plant organellar genomes across the plant tree of life. We compare numerous genomic features between the two organellar genomes, with an emphasis on evolutionary trajectories, transfers, the current state of organellar genome editing by transcriptional activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs), transcription activator-like effector (TALE)-mediated deaminase, and clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein (Cas), as well as genetic transformation. Finally, we propose future research to understand these different evolutionary trajectories, and genome-editing strategies to promote functional studies and eventually improve organellar genomes.

Genome-Editing Strategies for Treating Human Retinal Degenerations.
Inherited retinal degenerations (IRDs) are a leading cause of blindness. Although gene-supplementation therapies have been developed, they are only available for a small proportion of recessive IRD mutations. In contrast, genome editing using clustered-regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) CRISPR-associated (Cas) systems could provide alternative therapeutic avenues for treating a wide range of genetic retinal diseases through targeted knockdown or correction of mutant alleles. Progress in this rapidly evolving field has been highlighted by recent Food and Drug Administration clinical trial approval for EDIT-101 (Editas Medicine, Inc., Cambridge, MA), which has demonstrated efficacious genome editing in a mouse model of CEP290-associated Leber congenital amaurosis and safety in nonhuman primates. Nonetheless, there remains a significant number of challenges to developing clinically viable retinal genome-editing therapies. In particular, IRD-causing mutations occur in more than 200 known genes, with considerable heterogeneity in mutation type and position within each gene. Additionally, there are remaining safety concerns over long-term expression of Cas9 in vivo. This review highlights (i) the technological advances in gene-editing technology, (ii) major safety concerns associated with retinal genome editing, and (iii) potential strategies for overcoming these challenges to develop clinical therapies.
