A reporter system for enriching CRISPR/Cas9 knockout cells in technically challenging settings like patient models.
CRISPR/Cas9 represents a valuable tool to determine protein function, but technical hurdles limit its use in challenging settings such as cells unable to grow in vitro like primary leukemia cells and xenografts derived thereof (PDX). To enrich CRISPR/Cas9-edited cells, we improved a dual-reporter system and cloned the genomic target sequences of the gene of interest (GOI) upstream of an out-of-frame fluorochrome which was expressed only upon successful gene editing. To reduce rounds of in vivo passaging required for PDX leukemia growth, targets of 17 GOI were cloned in a row, flanked by an improved linker, and PDX cells were lentivirally transduced for stable expression. The reporter enriched scarce, successfully gene-edited PDX cells as high as 80%. Using the reporter, we show that KO of the SRC-family kinase LYN increased the response of PDX cells of B precursor cell ALL towards Vincristine, even upon heterozygous KO, indicating haploinsufficiency. In summary, our reporter system enables enriching KO cells in technically challenging settings and extends the use of gene editing to highly patient-related model systems.

Enhanced production of D-pantothenic acid in Corynebacterium glutamicum using an efficient CRISPR-Cpf1 genome editing method.
BACKGROUND: Corynebacterium glutamicum has industrial track records for producing a variety of valuable products such as amino acids. Although CRISPR-based genome editing technologies have undergone immense developments in recent years, the suicide-plasmid-based approaches are still predominant for C. glutamicum genome manipulation. It is crucial to develop a simple and efficient CRISPR genome editing method for C. glutamicum. RESULTS: In this study, we developed a RecombinAtion Prior to Induced Double-strand-break (RAPID) genome editing technology for C. glutamicum, as Cpf1 cleavage was found to disrupt RecET-mediated homologous recombination (HR) of the donor template into the genome. The RAPID toolbox enabled highly efficient gene deletion and insertion, and notably, a linear DNA template was sufficient for gene deletion. Due to the simplified procedure and iterative operation ability, this methodology could be widely applied in C. glutamicum genetic manipulations. As a proof of concept, a high-yield D-pantothenic acid (vitamin B5)-producing strain was constructed, which, to the best of our knowledge, achieved the highest reported titer of 18.62 g/L from glucose only. CONCLUSIONS: We developed a RecET-assisted CRISPR-Cpf1 genome editing technology for C. glutamicum that harnessed CRISPR-induced DSBs as a counterselection. This method is of great importance to C. glutamicum genome editing in terms of its practical applications, which also guides the development of CRISPR genome editing tools for other microorganisms.

[Type II CRISPR-Cas System Nucleases: A Pipeline for Prediction and In Vitro Characterization].
The use of CRISPR-Cas bacterial adaptive immunity system components for targeted DNA changes has opened broad prospects for programmable genome editing of higher organisms. The most widely used gene editors are based on the Cas9 effectors of the type II CRISPR-Cas systems. In complex with guide RNAs, Cas9 proteins are able to directionally introduce double-stranded breaks into DNA regions that are complementary to guide RNA sequences. Despite the wide range of characterized Cas9s, the search for new Cas9 variants remains an important task, since the available Cas9 editors have several limitations. This paper presents a workflow for the search for and subsequent characterization of new Cas9 nucleases developed in our laboratory. Detailed protocols describing the bioinformatical search, cloning, and isolation of recombinant Cas9 proteins, testing for the presence of nuclease activity in vitro, and determining the PAM sequence, which is required for recognition of DNA targets, are presented. Potential difficulties that may arise, as well as ways to overcome them, are considered.

Efficient SNP editing in haploid human pluripotent stem cells.
PURPOSE: To correct a potentially damaging mutation in haploid human embryonic stem cells. METHODS: Exome sequencing was performed on DNA extracted from parthenogenetically derived embryonic stem cell line (pES12). An SLC10A2 gene mutation, which affects bile acid transport, was chosen as mutation of interest in this proof of concept study to attempt correction in human pluripotent haploid cells. Confirmation of the mutation was verified, and guide RNA and a correction template was designed in preparation of performing CRISPR. Haploid cells underwent serial fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS) with Hoechst 33342 to create an increasingly haploid (1n) enriched culture. Nucleofection was performed on p. 37 and then cells were sorted for 1n DNA content with +GFP to identify the haploid cells that expressed Cas9 tagged with GFP. RESULTS: 104,686 haploid GFP + cells were collected. Cells were cultured, individual colonies picked, and 48 clones were sent for Sanger sequencing. CRIPSR efficiency was 77.1%, with 7/48 (14.6%) clones resulting in a corrected SLC10A2 mutation. Confirmation of persistence of haploid cells was achieved with repeated FACS sorting and centromere quantification. Given the large number of passages and exposure to CRISPR, we also performed analysis of karyotypes and of off-target effects. Cells evaluated were karyotypically normal and there was no evident off target effects. CONCLUSIONS: CRISPR/Cas9 can be effectively utilized to edit mutations in haploid human embryonic stem cells. Establishment and maintenance of a haploid cell culture provides a novel way to utilize CRISPR/Cas9 in gene editing, particularly in the study of recessive alleles.

Current progress in CRISPR-Cas systems for cancer.
Cancer has been a primary contributor to morbidity and mortality worldwide. With an increasing trend of incidence and prevalence of cancer, progress has also been made in its treatment, starting from radiation and chemotherapy to immunotherapy and gene therapy. CRISPR-Cas technique, a promising gene editing tool, has been employed in cancer research for novel treatment regimens, identification of therapeutic targets, and unraveling the genetic mechanisms behind oncogenesis. CRISPR-based genome editing helped in identifying the roles of specific genetic factors linked to treatment resistance, metastasis, and cancer development. CRISPR allows the discovery of genes and treatment options through specifically interrupting tumor activators or activating tumor suppressor genes in cancer cells. Advancements in CRISPR technology, especially the use of immune cells like chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells, has the potential to revolutionize personalized cancer treatment by precisely targeting and killing cancer cells. Furthermore, reactivating tumor suppressor genes makes cancer cells more susceptible to chemotherapy or immunotherapy. CRISPR-mediated genome editing can, hence, help to overcome resistance to traditional cancer treatments. The current manuscript covers that how is the CRISPR technology propelling revolutionary development in the field of cancer research, providing advance perspectives on the molecular causes of the disease and creating new lines for the development of more precise and potent cancer therapies.

Toward Next-Gen Cell Therapy for Pediatric Patients: Neonatal Hepatocytes Tolerate Electroporation-Mediated Gene Editing and Engraft in the Liver.
Hepatocyte transplantation (HTx) offers a safer, less invasive alternative to orthotopic liver transplantation for inherited metabolic liver diseases, especially in high-risk pediatric patients. Combining HTx with ex vivo gene editing is a promising autologous therapeutic strategy using the patient's cells. We investigated the feasibility of this approach by applying CRISPR-Cas9 gene knock-out to neonatal mouse hepatocytes and comparing their engraftment potential with that of mature adult cells in the Fah-/- mouse model of hereditary tyrosinemia type I (HT1). Electroporation-mediated gene editing did not significantly impair the ability of neonatal hepatocytes to engraft in vivo. Quantitative histological analysis revealed comparable liver repopulation levels between recipients of gene-edited neonatal cells and adult cells after hepatoxicity-mediated selection, providing a benchmark for electroporation-mediated gene editing in neonatal hepatocytes, and supporting the development of genetically corrected neonatal hepatocyte products as a crucial long-term or bridge-to-transplant therapeutic strategy for pediatric liver disease.

The clinical application of gene editing: ethical and social issues.
Gene-editing techniques have progressed rapidly in the past 5 years. There are already ongoing human somatic gene-editing clinical trials for multiple diseases. And there has been one purported scenario of human germline gene editing in late 2018. In this paper, we will review the current state of the technology, discuss the ethical and social issues that surround the various forms of gene editing, as well as review emerging stakeholder data from professionals, the 'general public' and individuals and families dealing with genetic diseases potentially treatable by gene editing.

Plant Epigenetic Editing to Analyze the Function of Histone Modifications in Gene-Specific Regulation.
Epigenetic editing enables the locus-specific manipulation of chromatin modifications. It allows the functional analysis of interactions between chromatin modifications and epigenetically stable gene expression states, thus establishing causal relationships, where previously correlations were suspected. Here, we describe the procedures for gene-specific epigenetic editing in plants that are based on targeting a histone modifier using an inactive dCas9 fusion protein that is recruited by a set of three distinct single guide RNAs (sgRNAs) that all target a region within the promoter of the target gene. We outline design principles and emphasize the need for suitable control constructs. In summary, the protocol will be widely useful for plant scientists looking to manipulate chromatin modifications in a locus-specific manner.

Artificial intelligence-driven epigenetic CRISPR therapeutics: a structured multi-domain meta-analysis of therapeutic efficacy, off-target prediction, and gRNA optimization.
CRISPR-based epigenetic editing enables reversible regulation of gene expression without permanent DNA modification. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) enhances guide RNA (gRNA) design, off-target prediction, and delivery optimization. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis (2015-2025) in accordance with PRISMA 2020 guidelines to evaluate the impact of AI on the precision, safety, and therapeutic efficacy of epigenetic CRISPR tools. From 540 screened records, 58 studies met inclusion criteria, of which 41 provided extractable quantitative data for meta-analysis and 17 contributed to qualitative synthesis. Random-effects models, subgroup analyses, and bias assessments were applied. Pooled analyses demonstrated strong positive effects across three domains: therapeutic efficacy (SMD = 1.67), gRNA optimization (SMD = 1.44), and off-target prediction (AUC = 0.79). Publication bias was minimal, and subgroup analyses indicated the strongest impact in therapeutic applications. Deep learning models were consistently associated with higher effect sizes. Qualitative synthesis revealed trends in interpretable AI, omics integration, and delivery innovations, underscoring AI's role in safer and more precise CRISPR editing. Overall, AI significantly improves the precision and therapeutic performance of CRISPR-based epigenetic tools, with the strongest effects observed in therapeutic efficacy, supporting their potential for personalized gene editing.

Genome Editing Dilemma: Navigating Dual-Use Potential and Charting the Path Forward.
Contemporary genome editing techniques have made genomic intervention-from microorganism to human-more accessible, easier to use, and more accurate than previous methods. We argue that, notwithstanding its merits in treating and preventing disease in humans, genome editing represents a potential threat for domestic and international security, requiring an integrated approach in regulating, detecting, preventing, and mitigating the risk of its use for malicious purposes. Despite the global regulatory ambitions of the 2021 WHO framework, we see insufficient attention given to the future prospect of dual-use genomic technology. Drawing parallels with the nuclear field, we suggest tentative practical steps for a way forward in dealing with genome editing technologies, such as: 1) adapting national (bio)security and defence strategies to include genome editing as a possible threat (with conceivable WMD potential); 2) enhancing the international dialogue on genome editing and raising the issue at the highest level; 3) working towards a global, legally binding verification mechanism; 4) tracking genome editing technologies.
