CRISPR-Cas System: The Current and Emerging Translational Landscape.
CRISPR-Cas technology has rapidly changed life science research and human medicine. The ability to add, remove, or edit human DNA sequences has transformative potential for treating congenital and acquired human diseases. The timely maturation of the cell and gene therapy ecosystem and its seamless integration with CRISPR-Cas technologies has enabled the development of therapies that could potentially cure not only monogenic diseases such as sickle cell anemia and muscular dystrophy, but also complex heterogenous diseases such as cancer and diabetes. Here, we review the current landscape of clinical trials involving the use of various CRISPR-Cas systems as therapeutics for human diseases, discuss challenges, and explore new CRISPR-Cas-based tools such as base editing, prime editing, CRISPR-based transcriptional regulation, CRISPR-based epigenome editing, and RNA editing, each promising new functionality and broadening therapeutic potential. Finally, we discuss how the CRISPR-Cas system is being used to understand the biology of human diseases through the generation of large animal disease models used for preclinical testing of emerging therapeutics.

Gene Editing: An Effective Tool for the Future Treatment of Kidney Disease.
Gene editing technology involves modifying target genes to alter genetic traits and generate new phenotypes. Beginning with zinc-finger nucleases (ZFN) and transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALEN), the field has evolved through the advent of clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats and CRISPR-associated protein (CRISPR-Cas) systems, and more recently to base editors (BE) and prime editors (PE). These innovations have provided deep insights into the molecular mechanisms of complex biological processes and have paved the way for novel therapeutic strategies for a range of diseases. Gene editing is now being applied in the treatment of both genetic and acquired kidney diseases, as well as in kidney transplantation and the correction of genetic mutations. This review explores the current applications of mainstream gene editing technologies in biology, with a particular emphasis on their roles in kidney disease research and treatment of. It also addresses the limitations and challenges associated with these technologies, while offering perspectives on their future potential in this field.

Phages to the rescue: in situ editing of the gut microbiota.
The gut microbiome contains numerous bacteria tied to our health. However, genetically modifying this community remains a major challenge. Brödel et al. take a critical step by engineering bacteriophages to efficiently deliver gene editors without propagation of the genetic cargo, efficiently introducing edits to bacteria residing in the mouse gut.

Comprehending the evolution of gene editing platforms for crop trait improvement.
CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats)/Cas (CRISPR-associated) system was initially discovered as an underlying mechanism for conferring adaptive immunity to bacteria and archaea against viruses. Over the past decade, this has been repurposed as a genome-editing tool. Numerous gene editing-based crop improvement technologies involving CRISPR/Cas platforms individually or in combination with next-generation sequencing methods have been developed that have revolutionized plant genome-editing methodologies. Initially, CRISPR/Cas nucleases replaced the earlier used sequence-specific nucleases (SSNs), such as zinc-finger nucleases (ZFNs) and transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs), to address the problem of associated off-targets. The adaptation of this platform led to the development of concepts such as epigenome editing, base editing, and prime editing. Epigenome editing employed epi-effectors to manipulate chromatin structure, while base editing uses base editors to engineer precise changes for trait improvement. Newer technologies such as prime editing have now been developed as a "search-and-replace" tool to engineer all possible single-base changes. Owing to the availability of these, the field of genome editing has evolved rapidly to develop crop plants with improved traits. In this review, we present the evolution of the CRISPR/Cas system into new-age methods of genome engineering across various plant species and the impact they have had on tweaking plant genomes and associated outcomes on crop improvement initiatives.

CRISPR-Cas12a Gene Editing of HBG1 and HBG2 Promoters to Treat β-Thalassemia.
BACKGROUND: Renizgamglogene autogedtemcel (reni-cel) is an investigational clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-Cas12a gene-edited autologous hematopoietic stem-cell therapy. The therapy was designed to disrupt the BCL11A binding sites in the HBG1 and HBG2 promoters to reactivate fetal hemoglobin production for the treatment of transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia. METHODS: We conducted a phase 1-2, multicenter, open-label, single-group study of reni-cel in participants 18 to 35 years of age with transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia. The participants received myeloablative conditioning with busulfan before reni-cel infusion. The primary end points were neutrophil engraftment by 42 days after infusion and frequency and severity of adverse events. Participants were monitored for hemoglobin-related measures and transfusion independence. The study was terminated early on the basis of the sponsor's reassessment of clinical development priorities. Results of an analysis that was not prespecified are reported. RESULTS: Nine participants with transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia (four β0/β0 or β0/β0-like and five non-β0/β0 genotypes) received reni-cel and were included in the analysis. The median duration of postinfusion follow-up was 17.5 months (range, 3.8 to 23.4), and six participants could be evaluated for transfusion independence at 12 months or more. All the participants had neutrophil and platelet engraftment by 42 days after infusion. Rapid increases in total and fetal hemoglobin levels resulted in each of the nine participants being transfusion-free at their last follow-up visit. The six participants who could be evaluated at 12 months or later were transfusion-independent. The mean total and fetal hemoglobin levels were greater than 12 g per deciliter and greater than 11 g per deciliter, respectively, between months 6 and 18. A total of 69 grade 3 or 4 adverse events with onset or worsening during or after reni-cel infusion were reported in the nine participants. Six serious adverse events (infections, pyrexia, or pneumonitis) were reported in four participants. Adverse events were generally consistent with myeloablative conditioning. One patient had decreased lymphocyte counts attributed to reni-cel. CONCLUSIONS: Treatment with reni-cel resulted in rapid neutrophil engraftment, an increase in fetal hemoglobin expression, and transfusion independence. These data support further investigation of Cas12a gene editing of the promoters of HBG1 and HBG2 in the treatment of transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia.

Dystonia-specific mutations in THAP1 alter transcription of genes associated with neurodevelopment and myelin.
Dystonia is a neurologic disorder associated with an increasingly large number of genetic variants in many genes, resulting in characteristic disturbances in volitional movement. Dissecting the relationships between these mutations and their functional outcomes is critical in understanding the pathways that drive dystonia pathogenesis. Here we established a pipeline for characterizing an allelic series of dystonia-specific mutations. We used this strategy to investigate the molecular consequences of genetic variation in THAP1, which encodes a transcription factor linked to neural differentiation. Multiple pathogenic mutations associated with dystonia cluster within distinct THAP1 functional domains and are predicted to alter DNA-binding properties and/or protein interactions differently, yet the relative impact of these varied changes on molecular signatures and neural deficits is unclear. To determine the effects of these mutations on THAP1 transcriptional activity, we engineered an allelic series of eight alterations in a common induced pluripotent stem cell background and differentiated these lines into a panel of near-isogenic neural stem cells (n = 94 lines). Transcriptome profiling followed by joint analysis of the most robust signatures across mutations identified a convergent pattern of dysregulated genes functionally related to neurodevelopment, lysosomal lipid metabolism, and myelin. On the basis of these observations, we examined mice bearing Thap1-disruptive alleles and detected significant changes in myelin gene expression and reduction of myelin structural integrity relative to control mice. These results suggest that deficits in neurodevelopment and myelination are common consequences of dystonia-associated THAP1 mutations and highlight the potential role of neuron-glial interactions in the pathogenesis of dystonia.
