Project description:CBFA2T3::GLIS2 was fused with GFP through CRISPR-Cas9 in WSU-AML cells. Cells were then used for ChIP-seq using a GFP antibody in order to determined the CBFA2T3::GLIS2 fusion binding sites.
Project description:Based on the hypothesis that, enhancing the local concentration of donor oligos could increase the correction rates, we generated and tested novel CRISPR-Cas9 systems, in which the DNA repair template is covalently conjugated to Cas9 (RNPD system). To validate our results from the HEK293T reporter cells, we here tested our approach at different endogenous genomic loci and in different cell types. We first targeted the human beta globin (HBB) locus in the K562 cell line, and analyzed correction- and editing frequencies using next generation sequencing (NGS). Next we targeted the Rosa26 and proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (Pcsk9) locus in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs). Here, RNPD system was always compared to Cas9 SNAP-tag fusion proteins with uncoupled donor oligos. To also directly compare the engineered RNPD system to the classical CRISPR-Cas9 system, we performed experiments where we used wild-type Cas9 with the uncoupled donor oligos as a control. We therefore targeted the fluorescent reporter locus as well as the endogenous loci HBB, empty spiracles homeobox 1 (EMX1), and C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4) in HEK293T cells. Finally, we performed the analysis of three computationally predicted off-target sites of the reporter locus.
Project description:By a robust unbiased ChIP-seq approach, we demonstrated that CRISPR/Cas9 had crRNA-specific off-target binding activities in human genome. However, most of those binding off-targets could not be efficiently cleaved both in vivo and in vitro which suggested the cleavage off-target activity of CRISPR/Cas9 in human genome is very limited. We provided a valuable tool to further investigate the molecular mechanism of CRISPR/Cas9 and to optimize its in vivo targeting sgRNA binding sites were identified with ChipSeq by using GFP antibody (there are 2 replicates for egfa-t1 sgRNA,emx1 sgRNA and control without sgRNA in Hek293T cells, one egfa-t1 sgRNA,emx1 sgRNA and control without sgRNA in HeLaS3 cells)
Project description:We generated a SNORD71 KO chondrocyte cell pool using CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing. A CRISPR control cell line was generated and used as a control. Levels of 2’-O-methylation of human rRNAs in SNORD71 KO cell pool and CRISPR control cells were evaluated by RiboMethSeq.
Project description:Genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 knockout screen using TKOv1 sgRNA library performed in isogenic RBM10-proficient and RBM10-deficient HCC827 cells.
Project description:To search for factors regulating paternally imprinted genes (PEGs), we performed a genome-wide loss-of-function CRISPR/Cas9 screen in haploid parthenogenetic ESCs. This by staining a pooled CRISPR library with a PEG10 antibody and next FACS-sorted for cells that presented de-novo PEG10 expression.

Project description:Acute megakaryoblastic leukemia (AMKL) is a subtype of leukemia primarily diagnosed in childhood and generally associated with poor prognosis. Genetic alterations found in de novo childhood AMKL include the OTT-MAL fusion, MLL and NUP98 fusions and the recently identified ETO2-GLIS2 fusion that involves two transcriptional regulators. In order to identify ETO2-GLIS2-bound regions as well as the chromatin landscape in human AMKL cells, we performed ChIP-seq analyses in AMKL MO7E cell line and in AMKL patient derived cells. Since existing GLIS2 antibodies could not successfully pull-down ETO2-GLIS2, we introduced the GFP at the endogenous GLIS2 loci in the MO7E cell line using a CRISPR/Cas9 approach to obtain physiological expression of a GFP-tagged ETO2-GLIS2 (MO7e-KI cell line). ChIP-seq were performed using antibody against GFP and ETO2 to identify ETO2-GLIS2-bound regions, against ERG to investigate colocalization and against chromatin marks to highlight repressed (H3K27me3) and active (H3K4me3: promoters; H3K27Ac, H3K4me1: enhancers) regions.
