This system has tremendous potential for treating various diseases, including genetic disorders and cancer, and promotes therapeutic research for a wide range of genetic diseases. Additionally, the CRISPR-Cas system simplifies the generation of animal models, offering a more accessible alternative to traditional methods. The CRISPR-Cas9 system can be used to cleave target DNA strands that need to be corrected, causing double-strand breaks (DSBs). DNA with DSBs can then be recovered by the DNA repair pathway that the CRISPR-Cas9 system uses to edit target gene sequences. High cleavage efficiency of the CRISPR-Cas9 system is thus imperative for effective gene editing. Herein, we explore several factors affecting the cleavage efficiency of the CRISPR-Cas9 system. These factors include the GC content of the protospacer-adjacent motif (PAM) proximal and distal regions, single-guide RNA (sgRNA) properties, and chromatin state.

Monoclonal antibodies that block programed cell death 1 (PD-1)/programed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) - a typical immune checkpoint - are currently the recommended standard therapies for many advanced and metastatic tumors such as triple-negative breast cancer. However, some patients develop drug resistance, leading to unfavorable treatment outcomes. Therefore, other approaches are required for anticancer treatments, such as downregulation of PD-L1 expression and promotion of degradation of PD-L1. Scoparone (SCO) is a bioactive compound isolated from <i>Artemisia capillaris</i> that exhibits antitumor activity. However, the effect of SCO on PD-L1 expression in cancer has not been confirmed yet. This study aimed to evaluate the role of SCO in PD-L1 expression in breast cancer cells in vitro. Our results show that SCO downregulated PD-L1 expression in a dose-dependent manner, via AKT inhibition. Interestingly, SCO treatment did not alter PTEN expression, but increased the expression of mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphatase-3 (MKP-3). In addition, the SCO-induced decrease in PD-L1 expression was reversed by siRNA-mediated MKP-3 knockdown. Collectively, these findings suggest that SCO inhibited the expression of PD-L1 in breast cancer cells by upregulating MKP-3 expression. Therefore, SCO may serve as an innovative combinatorial agent for cancer immunotherapy.</p>","PeriodicalId":7804,"journal":{"name":"Animal Cells and Systems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-02-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10860470/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139721246","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
