Cell lines expressing crispr sam complex for gene activation
A recent patent application (Publication Number: US20240002839A1) discloses a cell engineered to stably express a CRISPR/Cas9 Synergistic Activation Mediator complex (CRISPR SAM complex). This complex includes a guide RNA (gRNA) that targets a specific gene promoter, resulting in the activation of a gene that is not typically expressed in the cell. The CRISPR SAM complex contains a modified Cas9 protein with reduced or eliminated nuclease activity, fused to transcriptional activation domains. The gRNA used in the cell can be an sgRNA with specific RNA aptamers, and the cell itself is specified to be a mammalian cell, including human cells like HEK293 cells.
Furthermore, the patent application includes claims related to specific gRNA sequences targeting the Myo15 promoter, as well as the creation of an HEK231 cell line expressing the CRISPR SAM complex. Additionally, methods for assessing the efficiency of gene transfer vectors into cells are described, involving the introduction of nucleic acid molecules encoding genes linked to specific promoters targeted by gRNAs. Various vectors such as viruses (AAV, retrovirus, lentivirus, adenovirus), lipid nanoparticles, and reporter genes like EGFP are mentioned in the claims. The patent application also covers the introduction of genes by multiple vectors for enhanced gene expression in cells, showcasing the versatility and potential applications of the disclosed technology.
