Research Note: Development of a chicken experimental model platform for induced pluripotent stem cells by using CRISPR/Cas9-mediated NANOG knock-in reporter DF1 cells.

ABSTRACT: NANOG, as a transcription factor, plays a key role in maintaining pluripotency in higher vertebrates. Thus, NANOG gene expression is a critical index for the transition from somatic cells to the pluripotent stage. Here, we established chicken knock-in DF1 cells in which the red fluorescent protein (RFP) gene was specifically inserted into the transcriptional start site of the NANOG gene through the CRISPR‒Cas9 (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat-CRISPR associated protein 9) technical platform. Subsequently, 4 transcription factors (Pou5f3, Sox2, Nanog, and Lin28A) were introduced into the NANOG-RFP DF1 cells, and finally, the induced pluripotent cells were established and examined by endogenous NANOG promoter-controlled RFP gene expression. The development of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) in avians would be useful for practical applications in the field of avian biotechnology, including biobanking genetic materials and restoring endangered species. In this study, a reporter cell line system was established to efficiently identify the induced pluripotent stage, and it will facilitate potential use for various purposes in the field of avian experimental models.

Project description:The editing efficiency primarily hinders the utility of Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) technology in poultry. For a better understanding of the factors that influence the efficiency of gene knockout mediated by CRISPR/Cas9 in chicken DF1 cells, the single or dual single guide RNA (sgRNA) targeted exon regions of genes (taking anti-Müllerian hormone, TGF-beta receptor type-2 and Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma as examples) were designed. The sgRNA-CRISPR/Cas9 vectors with corresponding reporter vectors were transfected into DF1 cells. T7 endonuclease 1 (T7E1) and amplicon sequencing assay were compared for evaluating genome editing efficiency and the indel profiles were analyzed based on the data of amplicon sequencing. Meanwhile, to evaluate the precision of Cas9 cleavage, we also analyzed the homology of small insertion with the nucleotides of upstream and downstream of cleave sties. The surrogate reporter systems showed strong enrichment function, and the indel percentages were increased after puromycin selection. The indel ratios of T7E1 assay were lower than amplicon sequencing assay, which indicated T7E1 isn't fit to be used as the sole evaluation criterion for the targeting efficiency of CRISPR/Cas9. Based on the amplicon sequencing analysis, the editing efficiency showed noticeable differences among cells treated with different sgRNAs. However, the variety of indel efficiencies was not related to the GC content of sgRNA or chromosome types of targeted genes. The results showed that the dual sgRNA might not raise the indel ratios compared with individual sgRNA, but they could increase the ratios of the fragment deletions. The present study suggested that the surrogate reporter was an effective method to promote the editing efficiencies of CRISPR/Cas9 in chicken cells. The dual sgRNA could increase the fragment deletions, and the sensitivity of amplicon sequencing to detect cleavage was higher than the T7 endonuclease 1 assay. These results are essential to improve the application of CRISPR/Cas9 technology in chicken cells.
