The CRISPR-based technology has revolutionized genome editing in recent years. This technique allows for gene knockout and evaluation of function in cell lines in a manner that is far easier and more accessible than anything previously available. Unfortunately, the ability to extend these studies to syngeneic murine cell line implantation is limited by an immune response against cells transduced to stably express Cas9. In this study, we demonstrate that a non-integrating lentiviral vector approach can overcome this immune rejection and allow for the growth of transduced cells in an immunocompetent host. This technique enables the establishment of a von Hippel-Lindau () gene knockout RENCA cell line in BALB/c mice, generating an improved model of immunocompetent, metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC).
近年来,基于CRISPR的技术彻底改变了基因组编辑。这项技术能够以一种比以往任何方法都更容易且更可行的方式,在细胞系中实现基因敲除和功能评估。不幸的是,将这些研究扩展到同基因小鼠细胞系植入的能力受到针对稳定表达Cas9的转导细胞的免疫反应的限制。在本研究中,我们证明了一种非整合慢病毒载体方法可以克服这种免疫排斥,并使转导细胞在免疫活性宿主中生长。这项技术能够在BALB/c小鼠中建立一种冯·希佩尔-林道(VHL)基因敲除的RENCA细胞系,从而生成一种改进的免疫活性转移性肾细胞癌(RCC)模型。
