By targeting key genes, the CRISPR system can effectively exert its anti-cancer activity. The latest research suggests that the CRISPReader system that regulates gene transcription can effectively target and inhibit bladder cancer cells by sensing transcription factors such as c-Myc and Get-1 in the cell. An interesting question is whether the CRISPReader system can exert its anti-cancer ability against a variety of tumors by sensing the broad-spectrum transcription factor Ets-1. In this work, a CRISPReader system that senses the Ets-1 transcription factor has been constructed. It can effectively identify a variety of cancer cell lines, and specifically induce apoptosis in cancer cells. This study fully confirmed the effectiveness of Ets-1 as a broad-spectrum cancer related signal and provided a new anti-cancer tool based on the CRISPReader system.
通过靶向关键基因,CRISPR系统可以有效地发挥其抗癌活性。最新研究表明,调节基因转录的CRISPReader系统可以通过感知细胞中的转录因子如c-Myc和Get-1来有效靶向并抑制膀胱癌细胞。一个有趣的问题是,CRISPReader系统是否可以通过感知广谱转录因子Ets-1来发挥其对多种肿瘤的抗癌能力。在这项工作中,构建了一种感知Ets-1转录因子的CRISPReader系统。它可以有效地识别多种癌细胞系,并特异性地诱导癌细胞凋亡。本研究充分证实了Ets-1作为广谱癌症相关信号的有效性,并提供了一种基于CRISPReader系统的新型抗癌工具。
