CRISPR-Cas-mediated genome editing relies on guide RNAs that direct site-specific DNA cleavage facilitated by the Cas endonuclease. Here we report that chemical alterations to synthesized single guide RNAs (sgRNAs) enhance genome editing efficiency in human primary T cells and CD34(+) hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells. Co-delivering chemically modified sgRNAs with Cas9 mRNA or protein is an efficient RNA- or ribonucleoprotein (RNP)-based delivery method for the CRISPR-Cas system, without the toxicity associated with DNA delivery. This approach is a simple and effective way to streamline the development of genome editing with the potential to accelerate a wide array of biotechnological and therapeutic applications of the CRISPR-Cas technology.
CRISPR-Cas介导的基因组编辑依赖于引导RNA,其通过Cas核酸内切酶促进位点特异性DNA切割。我们在此报告,对合成的单向导RNA(sgRNA)进行化学修饰可提高人类原代T细胞和CD34(+)造血干细胞及祖细胞中的基因组编辑效率。将化学修饰的sgRNA与Cas9 mRNA或蛋白质共同递送,是一种基于RNA或核糖核蛋白(RNP)的高效CRISPR-Cas系统递送方法,且无DNA递送相关的毒性。这种方法是简化基因组编辑开发的简单有效方式,有可能加速CRISPR-Cas技术的广泛生物技术和治疗应用。
