Problems solved by technology

However, the results of different small molecule compounds promoting site-specific integration efficiency show that the practical range of cell types is relatively single, and the degree of promotion is not enough to be applied at the mouse level

Embodiment 1

[0027] Example 1: Rhododendrin affects DNA double-strand break repair pathway

[0028] A single reporter system for detecting DSB repair was used to further verify the effect of rhododendron on its pathway selection. Cells were pretreated with different concentrations of rhododendron (final concentrations were 0.1 μM, 1 μM, 5 μM, and 10 μM) for 24 h before nucleofection, and then Mix 5 μg pCMV-I-SceI and 15ng pDsRed2-N1 plasmids corresponding to 1×10 per plate 6 The cells were transfected. At this time, the rhododendron treatment was maintained in the medium until 72 hours later, the ratio of GFP+ / DsRed+ was analyzed by flow cytometry to detect the repair efficiency of rhododendron on HR and NHEJ.

[0029] The result is as figure 1 As shown, it can be seen that rhododendrin can promote homologous recombination repair (HR) by using the detection double-strand break repair reporter system, but has no effect on non-homologous end-joining repair (NHEJ).

Embodiment 2

[0030] Example 2: Rhododendrin promotes gene editing efficiency of targeted integration in human cells

[0031] 1. Rhododendrin can effectively promote the efficiency of targeted integration mediated by CRISPR / Cas9

[0032] HEK293FT cells were plated in a 6-well cell culture plate, and the above cells were treated for 24 hours with gradient concentrations of active small molecule compounds (final concentrations of Rhododendron were 0.1 μM, 1 μM, 5 μM, and 10 μM, respectively). Both SCR7 and RS-1 were currently The reported small molecule compounds that can effectively improve the targeting integration efficiency, the final concentrations used in this study: the final concentrations of SCR7 were 0.1 μM and 1 μM, respectively, and the final concentration of RS-1 was 10 μM. The mixture of sgRNA targeting AAVS1 site, Cas9 and donor carrier with mCherry fluorescence was transferred into the cells by electroporation, and the proportion of mCherry-positive cells was analyzed by flow ...

Embodiment 3

[0037] Example 3: Rhododendrin promotes target integration efficiency at the level of mouse stem cells (ES)

[0038] 1. Detect the gene editing efficiency of active small molecule compounds to specific sites of targeted integration

[0039]Mouse ES cells were spread in 6-well cell culture plates, and after 24 hours of culture, gradient concentrations of active small molecule compounds were used (the final concentrations of Rhododendrin were 0.1 μM, 1 μM, 5 μM, and 10 μM; the final concentrations of SCR7 were 0.1 μM and 1 μM; The final concentrations of RS-1 are 1 μM and 10 μM respectively) to act on the above cells for 24 hours, and transfer the sgRNA targeting the Actb site, Cas9 and donor carrier mixture with Puromycin selection into the cells by electroporation, and use 1 mg / ml after 48 hours Puromycin screened the gene editing products treated with different concentrations of active small molecule compounds, and after 96 hours, the screened clones were stained with Coomass...

Abstract

The invention relates to the application of rhododendron in gene editing. The rhododendrin can target and promote the efficiency of Homologous recombination (HR) repair in DNA double-strand breaks but has no effect on the efficiency of non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) repair (Non-homologous end joint, NHEJ). It provides a more convenient basis for improving the efficiency of targeted integration of target fragments. Compared with the current methods of various small molecule compounds promoting homologous recombination targeting in gene editing, the small molecule compounds involved in the present invention can more effectively and stably achieve the purpose of targeted integration in gene editing, and can be used in different types of cells and small Mouse embryonic levels are applicable, which promotes targeted integration efficiency up to 3-fold. At the same time, the screening system applied in the present invention is also more convenient and effective, and provides a reasonable screening method for various natural small molecular compounds in the repair of DNA double-strand breaks.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the application of a natural small molecular compound in gene editing, in particular to the application of rhododendrin in gene editing. Background technique [0002] The type II CRISPR / Cas9 system is a relatively simple, efficient, and versatile tool for targeted gene editing in a variety of organisms and cells. As a powerful tool, it is currently favored by many researchers. Its principle is that the single-stranded guide RNA combined with the Cas9 protein cuts at the target site and generates a double-strand break. Classical repair pathways: non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) and homologous recombination repair (HR), thereby permanently modifying or replacing the target site of the target gene. These target sites include viral gene sites, single mutation genetic diseases, and multiple variable sites in a wide range of disease states. This gene editing technology provides the potential for the treatment of biomedical-...
