However, cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity (CIN) greatly restricts its application. Renal tubular epithelial cells (RPTECs) can be extensively damaged during CIN. However, it still lacks an ideal method to prevent CIN, because the mechanism and therapeutic targets of CIN remain largely unclear. In the present study, we used a genome-scale CRISPR-Cas9 knock-out method to functionally screen key genes of cisplatin-induced RPTEC injury. We found 815 genes significantly enriched (P < 0.05) from positive selection screening strategy, which may synergistically enhance cisplatin cytotoxicity in RPTECs. Importantly, we identified ERAP2 as a novel molecule associated with CIN. We found that the expression of ERAP2 in RPTECs was significantly up-regulated by cisplatin. Data from CCK-8 assay and flow cytometry showed that inhibition of ERAP2 alleviated cisplatin-induced RPTEC injury. Furthermore, RNA-seq and qPCR results revealed necroptosis pathway significantly enriched and identified three downregulated genes (PLA2G4C, HIST1H2AC and HIST1H2AM) followed with ERAP2 inhibition, suggesting that ERAP2 may be a novel therapeutic target through the modulation of necroptosis pathway."],"repository":["ENA"],"additional_accession":[]},"is_claimable":false,"name":"Genome-scale CRISPR-Cas9 knockout screening in primary renal tubule epithelial cells identifies ERAP2 as a potential target for cisplatin cytotoxicity","description":"RNA-seq of HK-2 cells followed with ERAP2 inhibition and CDDP treatment","dates":{"last_updated":"2025-06-01","first_public":"2025-06-01"},"accession":"PRJEB88943","cross_references":{}}
