Enhanced Genome Editing Tools For Multi-Gene Deletion Knock-Out Approaches Using Paired CRISPR sgRNAs in CHO Cells.
Since the establishment of clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)/Cas9, powerful strategies for engineering of CHO cell lines have emerged. Nevertheless, there is still room to expand the scope of the CRISPR tool box for further applications to improve CHO cell factories. Here, the authors demonstrate activity of the alternative CRISPR endonuclease Cpf1 in CHO-K1 for the first time and that it can be used in parallel to CRISPR/Cas9 without any interference. Both, Cas9 and Cpf1, can be effectively used for multi-gene engineering with a strategy based on paired single guide RNAs (sgRNAs) for full gene deletions. This strategy also enables the targeting of regulatory regions, which would not respond to the conventional frameshift mutations, as shown by removing the α-1,6-Fucosyltransferase 8 (FUT8) promoter resulting in a functional knock-out. FUT8 also served as model to verify that deletion efficiency is size-independent (2-150 kb). To test the suitability for multi-gene approaches in combination with gene deletion, clones harboring triple deletions in β-1,4-Galactosyltransferase (B4GALT) isozymes are identified using solely conventional PCR/qPCR. In addition, two bicistronic transcription strategies are implemented to enable unequivocal pairing of sgRNAs: a CHO-derived tRNA linker that works for both, Cas9 and Cpf1, as well as paired sgRNAs in an array format, which can be used with Cpf1 due to its RNA processing ability. These strategies broaden the range of application of CRISPR for novel gene editing approaches in CHO cells and also enable the efficient realization of a genome-wide deletion library.

Choosing the best route: Comparative optimization of wheat transformation methods for improving yield by targeting TaARE1-D with CRISPR/Cas9.
Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the most important crops worldwide, supplying a major share of calories and protein for the global population. Incorporating gene editing into breeding programs is critical to improve yield and stress tolerance, yet wheat remains difficult to transform and regenerate efficiently. These bottlenecks limit the full application of CRISPR/Cas9 for improvement yield in wheat. To address this, transformation parameters were optimized for three methods: immature embryo transformation, callus transformation, and injection-based in planta transformation. Systematic optimization of Agrobacterium strain, bacterial density, acetosyringone concentration, and incubation conditions resulted in substantially improved transformation success. Efficiencies of 66.84% for immature embryos, 55.44% for callus, and 33.33% for in planta transformation were achieved, representing more than tenfold increase compared with previously reported rate of ~3%. A key innovation was the shortening of the callus induction stage for immature embryos, reducing the time required for plant regeneration by approximately one month while maintaining high transformation efficiency. The protocols were validated through CRISPR/Cas9-mediated knockout of TaARE1-D, a negative regulator of nitrogen uptake and yield. Generated mutants exhibited increased grain number, spike length, grain length, and thousand-grain weight, as well as the characteristic stay-green phenotype associated with loss of TaARE1-D function. The optimized protocols provide robust platforms to accelerate gene-editing in wheat to increase yield and stress-tolerance.

CRISPR-Cas systems as emerging tools for precision biofilm control for food safety: Mechanisms and applications.
Biofilms on food-contact surfaces pose persistent challenges to sanitation, safety, and product quality within food processing. Traditional cleaning methods and broad-spectrum antimicrobials often fail to disrupt the resilient matrix and multispecies communities characteristic of these biofilms. Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)-CRISPR-associated (Cas) systems offer a transformative approach to enhancing food safety, enabling precise modulation of microbial gene networks with applications in diagnostics, programmable sanitation, and targeted microbial control. This review synthesizes recent advances in CRISPR-Cas technology, encompassing Cas9/Cas12-based gene editing, Cas13-mediated RNA targeting, and dead Cas9 (dCas9)-based transcriptional regulation (CRISPR interference/activation, CRISPRi/a), and evaluates their relevance to biofilm prevention and eradication in food environments. We critically assess delivery platforms, including plasmids, nanocarriers, phagemids, and conjugative systems, for their efficiency in complex biofilm settings. The review highlights innovations such as multiplexed repression of redundant pathways, activation of latent antibiofilm functions. These genetic strategies are increasingly being integrated with omics-based analytics (e.g., transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics) to reveal systems-level cellular responses and regulatory shifts triggered by biofilm-targeted interventions. We also address the practical limitations, such as delivery barriers, off-target effects, regulatory hurdles, and ethical considerations specific to food applications. Ultimately, we propose a framework for translating CRISPR-Cas technology into scalable, safety-compliant tools for precision control of biofilms in food processing environments. This review aims to guide future research and inform stakeholders on leveraging CRISPR-Cas technology for safe, sustainable, and targeted management of food-associated biofilms.

A targeting delivery system for effective genome editing in leukemia cells to reverse malignancy.
Therapy resistance associated with relapse is a main cause of death in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). To address this issue, a dual-targeting CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing nanosystem was constructed for CXCR4 knockout to reverse the malignancy of leukemia cells. The surface of the dual-targeting nanosystem is composed of MUC1 specific aptamer incorporated alginate (MUC1 aptamer-alginate) and T22-NLS peptide with T22 sequence targeting CXCR4; the core of the nanosystem consists of protamine complexed with CRISPR-Cas9 plasmid. The in vitro study shows that the nanosystem mediated genome editing induces cell apoptosis, cell cycle arrest, as well as inhibited cell migration and adhesion in edited THP-1 cells after CXCR4 knockout. Further, the unprocessed peripheral blood from acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients was directly used to carry out ex vivo study. The results show the genome editing nanosystem can effectively knock out CXCR4 in leukemia cells, leading to attenuated CXCR4 protein as studied by antibody labeling and reduced CXCR4 mRNA as probed by a molecular beacon delivery system. In addition to developing a promising delivery vector for gene therapy on AML, this study also provides an effective strategy to evaluate the therapeutic efficiency of particular treatments by peripheral blood-based ex vivo studies.

Recent advances and challenges in potato improvement using CRISPR/Cas genome editing.
Genome editing using CRISPR/Cas technology improves the quality of potato as a food crop and enables its use as both a model plant in fundamental research and as a potential biofactory for producing valuable compounds for industrial applications. Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) plays a significant role in ensuring global food and nutritional security. Tuber yield is negatively affected by biotic and abiotic stresses, and enzymatic browning and cold-induced sweetening significantly contribute to post-harvest quality losses. With the dual challenges of a growing population and a changing climate, potato enhancement is essential for its sustainable production. However, due to several characteristics of potato, including high levels of heterozygosity, tetrasomic inheritance, inbreeding depression, and self-incompatibility of diploid potato, conventional breeding practices are insufficient to achieve substantial trait improvement in tetraploid potato cultivars within a relatively short time. CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome editing has opened new possibilities to develop novel potato varieties with high commercialization potential. In this review, we summarize recent developments in optimizing CRISPR/Cas-based methods for potato genome editing, focusing on approaches addressing the challenging biology of this species. We also discuss the feasibility of obtaining transgene-free genome-edited potato varieties and explore different strategies to improve potato stress resistance, nutritional value, starch composition, and storage and processing characteristics. Altogether, this review provides insight into recent advances, possible bottlenecks, and future research directions in potato genome editing using CRISPR/Cas technology.

Functional Assessment of a New PBX1 Variant in a 46,XY Fetus with Severe Syndromic Difference of Sexual Development through CRISPR-Cas9 Gene Editing.
Sexual development is a complex process relying on numerous genes. Disruptions in some of these genes are known to cause differences of sexual development (DSDs). Advances in genome sequencing allowed the discovery of new genes implicated in sexual development, such as PBX1. We present here a fetus with a new PBX1 NM_002585.3: c.320G>A,p.(Arg107Gln) variant, presenting with severe DSD along with renal and lung malformations. Using CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing on HEK293T cells, we generated a KD cell line for PBX1. The KD cell line showed reduced proliferation and adhesion properties compared with HEK293T cells. HEK293T and KD cells were then transfected plasmids coding either PBX1 WT or PBX1-320G>A (mutant). WT or mutant PBX1 overexpression rescued cell proliferation in both cell lines. RNA-seq analyses showed less than 30 differentially expressed genes, in ectopic mutant-PBX1-expressing cells compared with WT-PBX1. Among them, U2AF1, encoding a splicing factor subunit, is an interesting candidate. Overall, mutant PBX1 seems to have modest effects compared with WT PBX1 in our model. However, the recurrence of PBX1 Arg107 substitution in patients with closely related phenotypes calls for its impact in human diseases. Further functional studies are needed to explore its effects on cellular metabolism.

A Candidozyma (Candida) auris-Optimized Episomal Plasmid-Induced Cas9-Editing System Reveals the Direct Impact of the S639F-Encoding FKS1 Mutation.
BACKGROUND: Mutations in the Candidozyma (Candida) auris β-glucan synthase gene (FKS1) altering S639 are frequently associated with clinical echinocandin resistance. We have developed a novel C auris-optimized episomal plasmid-induced Cas9 (EPIC) gene-editing system capable of recyclable precision editing and demonstrate the contribution of FKS1S639F mutation to echinocandin resistance. METHODS: The EPIC gene-editing system was generated for optimized use in C auris, and ADE2 modification was evaluated in 5 C auris clades. Mutations leading to Fks1S639F and Fks1WT were placed into echinocandin-susceptible and echinocandin-resistant isolates from clades III and I, respectively. Echinocandin susceptibility was determined by Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute methods. Cell wall abundance of chitin and β-glucan was assessed by staining with calcofluor white and aniline blue. RESULTS: The EPIC system was capable of targeted ADE2 editing in all tested C auris isolates and precise editing confirmed by sequencing. A single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in FKS1 resulting in either the S639F substitution or a synonymous mutation was introduced in an echinocandin-susceptible clade III isolate. Precision FKS1 editing by the EPIC system was confirmed by whole genome sequencing. Introduction of the Fks1S639F allele increased echinocandin resistance, while correction of the Fks1S639F to the Fks1WT sequence in an echinocandin-resistant clade I isolate restored echinocandin sensitivity. Evaluation of cell wall composition showed strains harboring Fks1S639F to contain significantly elevated β-glucan and chitin content. CONCLUSIONS: These data demonstrate the potential of our EPIC system in its ability to introduce SNPs in multiple C auris clade backgrounds while revealing the direct impact of the S639F-encoding FKS1 mutation on echinocandin resistance.
