Innovative Chemical Strategies for Advanced CRISPR Modulation.
Over the past decade, RNA-guided gene editing technologies, particularly those derived from CRISPR systems, have revolutionized life sciences and opened unprecedented opportunities for therapeutic innovation. Despite their transformative potential, achieving precise control over the activity and specificity of these molecular tools remains a formidable challenge, requiring advanced and innovative regulatory strategies. We and others have developed new approaches that integrate chemical ingenuity with bioorthogonal techniques to achieve remarkable precision in CRISPR regulation. One key innovation lies in the chemical modulation of guide RNA (gRNA), significantly expanding the CRISPR toolkit. Strategies such as CRISPR-ON and CRISPR-OFF switches rely on selective chemical masking and demasking of gRNA. These approaches use either bulky chemical groups to preemptively mask RNA or minor, less obstructive groups to fine-tune its function, followed by bioorthogonal reactions to restore or suppress activity. These methodologies have proven to be pivotal for controlled gene editing and expression, addressing the challenges of precision, reversibility, and dynamic regulation.Parallel to these advances, the development of mesoporous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has emerged as a promising solution for RNA deprotection and activation. By serving as catalytic tools, MOFs enhance the versatility and efficiency of CRISPR systems, pushing their applications beyond the conventional boundaries. In addition, the synthesis of novel small molecules for regulating CRISPR-Cas9 activity marks a critical milestone in the evolution of gene therapy protocols. Innovative RNA structural control strategies have also emerged, particularly through the engineering of G-quadruplex (G4) motifs and G-G mismatches. These methods exploit the structural propensities of engineered gRNAs, employing small-molecule ligands to induce specific conformational changes that modulate the CRISPR activity. Whether stabilizing G4 formation or promoting G-G mismatches, these strategies demonstrate the precision and sophistication required for the molecular-level control of gene editing.Further enhancing these innovations, techniques like host-guest chemistry and conditional diacylation cross-linking have been developed to directly alter gRNA structure and function. These approaches provide nuanced, reversible, and safe control over CRISPR systems, advancing both the precision and reliability of gene editing technologies. In conclusion, this body of work highlights the convergence of chemistry, materials science, and molecular biology to create integrative solutions for gene editing. By combination of bioorthogonal chemistry, RNA engineering, and advanced materials, these advancements offer unprecedented accuracy and control for both fundamental research and therapeutic applications. These innovations not only advance genetic research but also contribute to developing safer and more effective gene editing strategies, moving us closer to realizing the full potential of these technologies.

A Novel White-to-Blue Colony Formation Assay to Select for Optimized sgRNAs.
CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing technology consists of a single-guide RNA (sgRNA), and the Cas9 endonuclease has the potential to treat genetic diseases in most tissues and organisms. In this system, the Cas9 protein can be directed to target genomic DNA sequences as "molecular scissors" with the guidance of sgRNAs. However, the target-specific activities of different sgRNAs are highly variable; thus, it is crucial to search for a simple, quick and economical method to screen for optimized sgRNAs with high target specificity. We have adopted and verified a newly developed white-to-blue colony formation assay to quickly screen for sgRNAs optimized for the EphA2 gene, which is highly expressed in hormone-resistant prostate cancer (PC-3) cells. This assay promises to screen for optimized sgRNAs more simply, rapidly, and efficiently. Our results suggest that the white-to-blue colony formation assay might be a useful screening strategy to quickly select for optimized sgRNAs.

Topical ionic liquid-mediated GLUT1 gene editing ameliorates psoriasis and prevents recurrence.
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder characterized by immune dysregulation and a high relapse rate. Current therapies seldom achieve lasting remission. Aberrant overexpression of glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) in keratinocytes enhances glycolysis, fueling inflammation and immune imbalance, thus positioning GLUT1 as a promising therapeutic target. In this work, a composite ionic liquid-mediated transdermal platform was established for the delivery of CRISPR-Cas9 ribonucleoprotein (CIL-RNP), aiming to achieve efficient GLUT1 gene editing in keratinocytes. The CIL-RNP achieved 76.6% editing efficiency, downregulated pyruvate kinase M (PKM) expression, and reduced inflammatory cytokine secretion. In a psoriasis mouse model, topical administration of CIL-RNP decreased lesion severity by 50% PASI (Psoriasis Area and Severity Index) score, alleviating epidermal hyperplasia and immune infiltration. Furthermore, the treatment inhibited M1 macrophage polarization, reduced reactive oxygen species generation, rebalanced Th17/regulatory T cells (Tregs) responses, and diminished the accumulation of tissue-resident memory T cells (TRMs), thereby lowering the risk of relapse. This study establishes ionic liquid-based CRISPR-RNP transdermal editing of GLUT1 as a novel and effective strategy for restoring immune homeostasis in psoriasis, with potential for long-term remission and broader applications in cutaneous immunopathological conditions.

DNA-free genome editing methods for targeted crop improvement.
Evolution of the next-generation clustered, regularly interspaced, short palindromic repeat/Cas9 (CRISPR/Cas9) genome editing tools, ribonucleoprotein (RNA)-guided endonuclease (RGEN) RNPs, is paving the way for developing DNA-free genetically edited crop plants. In this review, I discuss the various methods of RGEN RNPs tool delivery into plant cells and their limitations to adopt this technology to numerous crop plants. Furthermore, focus is given on the importance of developing DNA-free genome edited crop plants, including perennial crop plants. The possible regulation on the DNA-free, next-generation genome-edited crop plants is also highlighted.

Endosomal Escape and Delivery of CRISPR/Cas9 Genome Editing Machinery Enabled by Nanoscale Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework.
CRISPR/Cas9 is a combined protein (Cas9) and an engineered single guide RNA (sgRNA) genome editing platform that offers revolutionary solutions to genetic diseases. It has, however, a double delivery problem owning to the large protein size and the highly charged RNA component. In this work, we report the first example of CRISPR/Cas9 encapsulated by nanoscale zeolitic imidazole frameworks (ZIFs) with a loading efficiency of 17% and enhanced endosomal escape promoted by the protonated imidazole moieties. The gene editing potential of CRISPR/Cas9 encapsulated by ZIF-8 (CC-ZIFs) is further verified by knocking down the gene expression of green fluorescent protein by 37% over 4 days. The nanoscale CC-ZIFs are biocompatible and easily scaled-up offering excellent loading capacity and controlled codelivery of intact Cas9 protein and sgRNA.

CRISPR/Cas9 Genome Editing of Human-Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells Followed by Granulocytic Differentiation.
Research on patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) could immensely benefit from the implementation of CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing of iPSCs, creating unique opportunities such as the establishment of isogenic iPSC lines for disease modeling or personalized patient-specific drug screenings. Here we describe a stepwise protocol of safe, efficient, and selection-free CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene correction or knockout in human iPSCs followed by 3D spin-embryoid body (EB)-based hematopoietic/neutrophilic iPSC-differentiation.

Co-delivery of Sorafenib and CRISPR/Cas9 Based on Targeted Core-Shell Hollow Mesoporous Organosilica Nanoparticles for Synergistic HCC Therapy.
The rapid development of CRISPR/Cas9 systems has opened up tantalizing prospects to sensitize cancers to chemotherapy using efficient targeted genome editing, but safety concerns and possible off-target effects of viral vectors remain a major obstacle for clinical application. Thus, the construction of novel nonviral tumor-targeting nanodelivery systems has great potential for the safe application of CRISPR/Cas9 systems for gene-chemo-combination therapy. Here, we report a polyamidoamine-aptamer-coated hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticle for the co-delivery of sorafenib and CRISPR/Cas9. The core-shell nanoparticles had good stability, enabled ultrahigh drug loading, targeted delivery, and controlled-release of the gene-drug combination. The nanocomplex showed >60% EGFR-editing efficiency without off-target effects in all nine similar sites, regulating the EGFR-PI3K-Akt pathway to inhibit angiogenesis, and exhibited a synergistic effect on cell proliferation. Importantly, the co-delivery nanosystem achieved efficient EGFR gene therapy and caused 85% tumor inhibition in a mouse model. Furthermore, the nanocomplex showed high accumulation at the tumor site in vivo and exhibited good safety with no damage to major organs. Due to these properties, the nanocomplex provides a versatile delivery approach for efficient co-loading of gene-drug combinations, allowing for precise gene editing and synergistic inhibition of tumor growth without apparent side effects on normal tissues.

One-step generation of complete gene knockout mice and monkeys by CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing with multiple sgRNAs.
The CRISPR/Cas9 system is an efficient gene-editing method, but the majority of gene-edited animals showed mosaicism, with editing occurring only in a portion of cells. Here we show that single gene or multiple genes can be completely knocked out in mouse and monkey embryos by zygotic injection of Cas9 mRNA and multiple adjacent single-guide RNAs (spaced 10-200 bp apart) that target only a single key exon of each gene. Phenotypic analysis of F0 mice following targeted deletion of eight genes on the Y chromosome individually demonstrated the robustness of this approach in generating knockout mice. Importantly, this approach delivers complete gene knockout at high efficiencies (100% on Arntl and 91% on Prrt2) in monkey embryos. Finally, we could generate a complete Prrt2 knockout monkey in a single step, demonstrating the usefulness of this approach in rapidly establishing gene-edited monkey models.

'Artificial spermatid'-mediated genome editing†.
For years, extensive efforts have been made to use mammalian sperm as the mediator to generate genetically modified animals; however, the strategy of sperm-mediated gene transfer (SMGT) is unable to produce stable and diversified modifications in descendants. Recently, haploid embryonic stem cells (haESCs) have been successfully derived from haploid embryos carrying the genome of highly specialized gametes, and can stably maintain haploidy (through periodic cell sorting based on DNA quantity) and both self-renewal and pluripotency in long-term cell culture. In particular, haESCs derived from androgenetic haploid blastocysts (AG-haESCs), carrying only the sperm genome, can support the generation of live mice (semi-cloned, SC mice) through oocyte injection. Remarkably, after removal of the imprinted control regions H19-DMR (differentially methylated region of DNA) and IG-DMR in AG-haESCs, the double knockout (DKO)-AG-haESCs can stably produce SC animals with high efficiency, and so can serve as a sperm equivalent. Importantly, DKO-AG-haESCs can be used for multiple rounds of gene modifications in vitro, followed by efficient generation of live and fertile mice with the expected genetic traits. Thus, DKO-AG-haESCs (referred to as 'artificial spermatids') combed with CRISPR-Cas technology can be used as the genetically tractable fertilization agent, to efficiently create genetically modified offspring, and is a versatile genetic tool for in vivo analyses of gene function.

Generation of miR-15a/16-1 cluster-deficient human induced pluripotent stem cell line (DMBi001-A-2) using CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing.
miR-15a/16-1 cluster, composed of MIR15A and MIR16-1 genes located in close proximity on chromosome 13 was described to regulate post-natal cell cycle withdrawal of cardiomyocytes in mice. In humans, on the other hand, the level of miR-15a-5p and miR-16-p was negatively associated with the severity of cardiac hypertrophy. Therefore, to better understand the role of these microRNAs in human cardiomyocytes in regard to their proliferative potential and hypertrophic growth, we generated hiPSC line with complete deletion of miR-15a/16-1 cluster using CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing. Obtained cells demonstrate expression of pluripotency markers, differentiation capacity into all three germ layers and normal karyotype.
