PKD-erythroid cells suffer from an energy imbalance caused by a reduction of erythroid pyruvate kinase (RPK) enzyme activity. PKD is associated with reticulocytosis, splenomegaly and iron overload, and may be life-threatening in severely affected patients. More than 300 disease-causing mutations have been identified as causing PKD. Most mutations are missense mutations, commonly present as compound heterozygous. Therefore, specific correction of these point mutations might be a promising therapy for the treatment of PKD patients. We have explored the potential of precise gene editing for the correction of different PKD-causing mutations, using a combination of single-stranded oligodeoxynucleotides (ssODN) with the CRISPR/Cas9 system. We have designed guide RNAs (gRNAs) and single-strand donor templates to target four different PKD-causing mutations in immortalized patient-derived lymphoblastic cell lines, and we have detected the precise correction in three of these mutations. The frequency of the precise gene editing is variable, while the presence of additional insertions/deletions (InDels) has also been detected. Significantly, we have identified high mutation-specificity for two of the PKD-causing mutations.

Because the adenosine deaminases that act on RNA (ADAR) enzymes catalyze this form of RNA editing, the structure and function of the cephalopod orthologs may provide clues. Recent genome sequencing projects have provided blueprints for the full complement of coleoid cephalopod ADARs. Previous results from our laboratory have shown that squid express an ADAR2 homolog, with two splice variants named sqADAR2a and sqADAR2b and that these messages are extensively edited. Based on octopus and squid genomes, transcriptomes, and cDNA cloning, we discovered that two additional ADAR homologs are expressed in coleoids. The first is orthologous to vertebrate ADAR1. Unlike other ADAR1s, however, it contains a novel N-terminal domain of 641 aa that is predicted to be disordered, contains 67 phosphorylation motifs, and has an amino acid composition that is unusually high in serines and basic amino acids. mRNAs encoding sqADAR1 are themselves extensively edited. A third ADAR-like enzyme, sqADAR/D-like, which is not orthologous to any of the vertebrate isoforms, is also present. Messages encoding sqADAR/D-like are not edited. Studies using recombinant sqADARs suggest that only sqADAR1 and sqADAR2 are active adenosine deaminases, both on perfect duplex dsRNA and on a squid potassium channel mRNA substrate known to be edited in vivo. sqADAR/D-like shows no activity on these substrates. Overall, these results reveal some unique features in sqADARs that may contribute to the high-level RNA recoding observed in cephalopods.","PeriodicalId":73086,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in genome editing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10278661/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10067579","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At the forefront of this revolution is the CRISPR-Cas9 technology, which made genome editing broadly accessible and engendered the development of chimeric genome editing tools like base editors and prime editors. To achieve the desired DNA modifications, nucleasebased platforms use cellular DNA repair pathways, such as Homology Directed Repair (HDR), Non-Homologous End Joining (NHEJ), and Microhomology-Mediated End Joining (MMEJ), while prime editors employ an RNA-based reverse transcription mechanism. For therapeutic applications, genome engineering platforms can be used ex vivo and in vivo and can either disrupt coding or regulatory sequences (therapeutic NHEJ) or make precise sequence changes (therapeutic HDR, Base editing, and Prime editing). The most advanced applications of genome editing for human monogenic diseases involve therapeutic NHEJ, which uses Cas9 endonuclease and guide RNAs (gRNAs) to create site-specific double-strand breaks (DSBs), which NHEJ then repairs. This process often results in the insertion/deletion of a few nucleotides (INDELs) or larger deletions, depending on the gRNA design, mostly disrupting, or inactivating the target gene. Therapeutic NHEJ has been successfully applied ex vivo to modify CD34 hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) from individuals affected by beta-Thalassemia (b-Thal) and Sickle cell disease (SCD), both caused bymutations in the β-globin gene (HBB) (Ledford, 2020; Frangoul et al., 2021). In this strategy, Cas9/gRNAs are used to reactivate the expression of the fetal γ-globin by knocking down the erythroid expression of BCL11A, its key transcriptional repressor. Data from clinical trials confirmed that γ-globin could functionally complement the deficiency of β-globin in the hemoglobin tetramers and exert an anti-sickling function. This approach can be applied to β-Thal and SCD independently from the underlying beta-globin mutations. It is also proving to be safe and effective in OPEN ACCESS","PeriodicalId":73086,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in genome editing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10359423/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10241065","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats)-Cas (CRISPR associated) is the prokaryotic adaptive immune system that protects hosts from invading viruses and plasmids. CRISPR/Cas9 systems are the most frequently used type of genome editing tool, which is composed of the Cas9 nuclease and the guide RNA which directs Cas9 to the target DNA site by sequence complementarity. In natural systems, guide RNAs are composed of two separate RNA molecules, the CRISPR RNA (crRNA) and the transactivating crRNA (tracrRNA), which are commonly artificially fused together to yield a single guide RNA for genome editing (Jinek et al., 2012). In addition to CRISPR/Cas9, a variety of other CRISPR-Cas systems, such as CRISPR/Cas12a (Cpf1), have been developed to overcome the difficulties of genome editing at different loci in different organisms. Recently, several new CRISPR/Cas systems have been identified and employed for genome editing, some of which are bacteriophage origin (Al-Shayeb et al., 2022). In addition, efforts have continuously been made to optimize genome editing efficiency by different CRISPR/ Cas systems belonging to all six known types. Furthermore, CRISPR/Cas9 systems have been optimized for reducing their toxicity and for boosting knock-in efficiency in genome editing of primary human cells by using long single-stranded DNA homology-directed repair templates with short regions of double-stranded DNA containing Cas9 target sequences on both ends (Shy et al., 2023). This Research Topic is aimed to further explore the application of CRISPR/Cas genome editing tools in more biological systems and it includes four research articles. Three articles are under the category of Original Research, and one belongs to the Brief Research Report. Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) seeds are the source of our daily edible oil and are rich in monounsaturated oleic acid and polyunsaturated linoleic acid. Fatty Acid Desaturase 2 (FAD2) catalyzes the conversion of oleic acid to linoleic acid. Compared with linoleic acid, oleic acid has better oxidative stability and health benefits, but increasing oleic acid content by knocking out the FAD2 gene can lead to poor plant stress tolerance. The RY repeat element and 2S seed protein motif cis-regulatory elements in the 5′UTR of FAD2 genes have been suggested to have enhancer activity.

However, the first clinical trials have chased the “low hanging fruit” using editing strategies that rely on gene disruption by introducing double-strand DNA breaks that lead to insertions and deletions (indels) by the NHEJ pathway. Since NHEJ is constitutively active throughout the cell cycle and the default DNA repair pathway, this is by far the most efficient type of conventional gene editing as opposed to homology-directed repair (HDR). HDR relies on delivery of an exogenous repair template and this pathway is active only in the S and G2 phases of the cell cycle. These two parameters constitute challenges in clinical use of HDR since exogenous DNA is toxic in most therapeutically relevant cell types and since the inherent competition between NHEJ and HDR can be a bottleneck. However, HDR benefits from enabling precise edits to be made to the genome, thereby representing true gene editing with control over the outcome. Still, in both these modalities the DNA breaks are considered a potential source of genotoxicity due to the possibility of off-target edits and chromosomal aberrations such as translocations and chromothripsis. Next-generation gene editing tools like Base and Prime Editing that rely on DNA single strand nicking reduce the risk of such harmful events but are still limited in the scope of the edits they can generate (Anzalone et al., 2020). The newest types of editors based on CRISPR-associated transposases or CRISPR-directed integrases facilitate larger edits but are still under development and immature for clinical implementation (Yarnall et al., 2022; Tou et al., 2023). This rapidly developing toolbox is expected to broaden the application of CRISPR-based tools and other site-specific engineered nucleases to cure human disease. However, on this venture of realizing precise gene correction there are several unanswered questions and challenges to overcome, some of which we hope to address with this Research Topic on Therapeutic Gene Correction Strategies Based on CRISPR Systems or Other Engineered Site-specific Nucleases.
