Allosteric Conditional Guide RNAs for Cell-Selective Regulation of CRISPR / Cas

PendingUS20250346889A1HydrolasesNucleic acid vectorDiseaseCell selectivity
Programmable guide RNAs (gRNAs) play a central role in the CRISPR revolution sweeping biology and medicine by directing the function of a Cas protein effector to a target gene of choice. To achieve programmable control over regulatory scope, the activity of a conditional guide RNA (cgRNA) depends on the presence or absence of an RNA trigger, allowing for cell-selective regulation of CRISPR / Cas function. Unlike a standard gRNA, a cgRNA is programmable at multiple levels, with the target-binding sequence controlling the target of Cas activity (edit, silence, induce, or bind a gene of choice) and the triggerbinding sequence controlling the scope of Cas activity. cgRNA mechanisms that are allosteric allow for independent design of the target and trigger sequences, providing the flexibility to select the regulatory target and scope independently. Disclosed herein are allosteric cgRNA mechanisms for both ON→OFF logic (conditional inactivation by an RNA trigger) and OFF→ON logic (conditional activation by an RNA trigger). Allosteric cgRNAs enable restriction of CRISPR / Cas function to a desired cell type, tissue, organ, or disease state. Allosteric cgRNAs provide a versatile platform for cell-selective and tissue-selective research tools, biotechnologies, diagnostics, and therapeutics.

Cell-penetrating peptide CPP137 as well as compound, composition and application thereof

The invention discloses a cell-penetrating peptide CPP137 as well as a compound, a composition and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of polypeptides. According to the application, a cell-penetrating peptide CPP137 with immune cell selectivity is screened out from a plague bacillus sORF library. The polypeptide not only can be efficiently internalized by THP-1 (M0 type) mononuclear cells, but also can specifically target two key antigen presenting cells, namely primary macrophages and dendritic cells (DC), in a complex human whole blood physiological environment, but is not obviously combined with other blood cell types. Therefore, the cell-penetrating peptide CPP137 is a targeted delivery carrier with great potential, can be used for specifically delivering a therapeutic load to myeloid immune cells, and is used for treating intracellular infection and immune-related diseases or used as a vaccine development platform. Meanwhile, CPP137 can also be used as a specific diagnostic marker or an imaging probe for detecting or tracing pathological states related to macrophages / DC.

Click-type covalent drugs and their regioselective delivery system and application

This invention discloses a type of click-type covalent drug, its regionally selective delivery system, and its applications. The invention comprises two parts: a click-type covalent drug and a tumor regionally selective delivery system. The click-type covalent drug consists of three parts: an azacyclic alkyne (DBCO), a small molecule drug, and a linker, having the structure of Formula 1. Optionally, the small molecule drug is a membrane protein inhibitor, an immunomodulator, or a chemotherapeutic drug. The click-type covalent drug reacts with azide-labeled target cells via a click reaction, forming a covalent bond that binds to the cell membrane, increasing the local drug concentration and prolonging the drug retention time, thereby enhancing selective inhibition of the target cells. The regionally selective delivery system is co-assembled from an amphiphilic block polymer and the click-type covalent drug for regionally selective delivery. This invention achieves covalent binding to azide-labeled tumor cells through the click-type covalent drug, while having no effect on unlabeled normal cells, reducing toxic side effects on normal tissues.

Device for tissue electrotransfer using a microelectrode

A minimally invasive penetrating microelectrode array is used to generate localized electric field “hotspots” for delivering biomolecules, such as nucleic acid or protein molecules, into cells located in the epidermal or dermal layer of the skin via transient membrane permeabilization. The “hotspots” can be controlled by selectively insulating the penetrating microelectrodes at specific regions. The portion of microelectrodes that are not covered with insulation coating can be coated with nucleic acid or protein vaccine vector, or other biomolecules to be delivered. Upon insertion into the skin, an anchor microelectrode region mechanically anchors the penetrating microelectrode to position the target tissue microelectrode region, so as to selectively align the biomolecule coating with cells located in the tissue location. The biomolecule coating will dissolve when in contact with surrounding tissue. By applying an electrical pulse, the biomolecules can be delivered into surrounding cells.

A light source illuminates each of the holding chambers and passes light to an underlying sensor array such that the cells in the blood selectively block the light to produce shadow images of the cells in the sensor array. A processor performs pattern recognition to identify and locate the pathogen cells by use of an image library. After the pathogen cells are located, an electric field is activated in the cassette chamber areas that include the identified pathogen cells. Sufficient electric field energy is applied to destroy the identified pathogen cells. A pump refills the cassette holding chambers, returns the neutralized-pathogen blood to the patient, and the process is repeated for a period of time.
