The recapitulation of chromosomal rearrangements is a necessary tool for understanding malignancy at the molecular level. Here, we describe the targeted induction of a large chromosomal inversion (>3.7 Mbp) through CRISPR-Cas9-mediated genome editing. As inversions occur at low frequency following Cas9 cleavage, we provide a detailed screening approach of FACS-sorted, single-cell-derived clonal human bronchial epithelial cell (HBEC) cultures. The protocol provided is tailored to HBECs; however, it can be readily applied to additional adherent cellular models. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Zampetidis et al. (2021).
染色体重排的综述是从分子水平理解恶性肿瘤的必要工具。在这里，我们描述了通过 CRISPR-Cas9 介导的基因组编辑靶向诱导大的染色体倒位（>3.7 Mbp）。由于 Cas9 切割后倒位的发生频率较低，我们提供了一种详细的筛选方法，用于 FACS 分选的单细胞衍生的人支气管上皮细胞（HBEC）培养物的克隆。提供的方案针对 HBEC 进行了定制；但是，它可以很容易地应用于其他贴壁细胞模型。有关此方案使用和执行的完整详细信息，请参阅 Zampetidis 等人。（2021 年）。
