The application discloses a method for preparing GHR humanized animal cells by using a
CRISPR system, which comprises the following steps: designing and synthesizing sgRNA; mixing the sgRNA with a Cas9
protein to form a
CRISPR-Cas9 complex; constructing donor
DNA containing coding sequences of a human GHR
extracellular region and a rat GHR
intracellular region; injecting the
CRISPR-Cas9 complex and the donor
DNA into the
cytoplasm or
nucleus of a rat fertilized ovum to knockout the coding sequence of the
extracellular region of the rat-derived GHR
gene and simultaneously insert the coding sequence of the
extracellular region of the human-derived GHR
gene into the
genome, so that the GHR humanized animal cells are obtained. The application further discloses a method for constructing a GHR humanized
rat model by using the CRISPR
system, and application of the GHR humanized animal cells and the GHR humanized
rat model obtained by the above method in
drug screening,
drug development or
efficacy evaluation. The application can more accurately simulate the interaction between the human GHR and
growth hormone and other ligands, improves the accuracy and reliability of research, and has the advantages of simple
gene editing operation, high editing efficiency, strong specificity, low off-target effect and wide application range.
