The invention relates to the technical field of molecular biology and biological medicines, and particularly relates to application of gRNA sequences and combination thereof based on a CRISPR system in treatment on hepatitis B virus. According to the method disclosed by the invention, eight types of guidance RNAs (gRNA) are designed according to design rules of CRISPR gRNA and a conservative region of different genotypes of HBV sequences, and the eight types of guidance RNAs are structured on a PX330 expression vector. By utilizing the eight gRNAs in a cell model, a mouse model and a CRISPR/Cas9 system guided by combination of the cell model and the mouse model, the expression and replication of the hepatitis B virus can be effectively inhibited. By united application of a plurality of gRNAs, a better effect can be achieved, and different genotypes of HBV replication can be better inhibited. The system has the characteristics of being easy to operate, high in inhibition efficiency on HBV replication and applicable to various genotypes. Therefore, the gRNA and the combination thereof related to the invention are expected to be applied in preparation of a novel drug for treating the hepatitis B virus.

The present invention provides HIV-derived lentivectors which are multiply modified to create highly safe, efficient, and potent vectors for expressing transgenes for gene therapy. The lentiviral vectors comprise various combinations of an inactive central polypurine tract, a stuffer sequence, which may encode drug susceptibility genes, and a mutated hairpin in the 5′ leader sequence that substantially abolishes replication. These elements are provided in conjunction with other features of lentiviral vectors, such as a self-inactivating configuration for biosafety and promoters such as the EF1α promoter as one example. Additional promoters are also described. The vectors can also comprise additional transcription enhancing elements such as the wood chuck hepatitis virus post-transcriptional regulatory element. These vectors therefore provide useful tools for genetic treatments for inherited and acquired disorders, gene-therapies for cancers and other disease, the creation of industrial and experimental production systems utilizing transformed cells, as well as for the study of basic cellular and genetic processes.
