2 Implementing CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing 2
3 To focus on RNA triggers, produce a stable HEK293-Cas9 line Large Cas9 plasmids show low transfection efficiency that varies from day to day, making large quantitative comparison studies difficult. Low, constant level of Cas9 present in stable HEK293-Cas9 Note the extremely high levels of Cas9 present in just a small fraction of transfected cells using plasmid. Can this contribute to OTEs? 3
4 Detection of CRISPR editing by heteroduplex cleavage assay 1. Transfect HEK-Cas9 cells with trigger (2-part RNA, or gblocks Gene Fragments) Co-transfect Cas9 plasmid or mrna or protein if needed 2. Incubate 48 hr, then harvest DNA 3. PCR amplify region around CRISPR site ( bp amplicons) Heat and cool to form heteroduplexes 4. Incubate with T7EI or Surveyor mismatch endonuclease 5. Run on gel or Fragment Analyzer (Advanced Analytical) to visualize cleavage at heteroduplex mismatch sites 4

19 Can chemical modification improve function of CRISPR RNAs? Of course yes! Oligo 101 unmodified nucleic acids are degraded by serum and/or cellular nucleases. Oligos need chemical modification to stabilize the nucleic acid and to help evade triggering the innate immune system. Long history of medicinal chemistry to find optimal approach for oligo modification for different applications which modifications to use vary with interaction with protein effector molecules (RNase H1, Ago2, Cas9 ) Pretty basic toolbox: PS bonds, 2 OMe, 2 F, LNA, end-blocking groups, etc. 19
20 The benefit of limited chemical modification was recently demonstrated for chemically synthesized sgrnas and truncated crrnas 20

29 Advantages of Alt-R CRISPR-Cas9 System, 2-part RNA Compared to IVT sgrnas, Alt-R CRISPR RNA: Easy to order, no work to prepare Mass spec QC Any yield needed is available Chemically modified to reduce toxicity from innate immune stimulation and improved performance due to nuclease stability Compared to chemically synthesized sgrnas, Alt-R CRISPR RNA: Easier to manufacture Much less expensive 29
30 Conclusions 1. Alt-R Synthetic RNA oligos mimicking the natural 2-part CRISPR system (crrna:tracrrna complex) function well in mammalian cells when Cas9 is expressed in the target cell (constitutive or transient), when made as Cas9 mrna, or when precomplexed with Cas9 protein as a RNP. 2. Optimized, shortened crrna:tracrrna complex shows higher editing activity. 3. Modified tracrrna gives improved results with almost all systems. 4. Modified crrna gives improved results, particularly when the RNAs have to survive inside the cell while waiting for Cas9 protein to be expressed. 5. The use of Cas9 protein + crrna:tracrrna RNP complex works well, simplifies workflow, and enables use of less highly modified RNAs (protein RNP helps protect the transfected RNAs). 30
