As gene editing technologies like CRISPR progress toward clinical study, researchers must continue to advance new approaches and address inherent challenges, explains Jon Chesnut, PhD, Senior Director, Cell Biology R&D, Thermo Fisher Scientific. Early phase clinical trials for gene editing therapies.

Gene therapy is a new therapeutic approach in which genes are used to treat or prevent diseases. It is a comprehensive term which encompasses a large variety of therapy products including viral and bacterial vectors, plasmid DNA, human gene editing technology, and patient-specific cellular gene therapy.

By combining CRISPR technology with a protein designed with artificial intelligence (AI), it is possible to awaken individual dormant genes by disabling the chemical “off switches” that silence them. These methyl groups must be refreshed so if PRC2 is blocked the genes it has silenced. Cas9 binds and uses RNA as an address-tag.

Current research is focused on designing CRISPR-enhanced CAR T cells that are resistant to immunosuppressive cytokines such as transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) 2 , programmed cell death protein (PD-1) 3 , or other negative T cell regulators 4 (CTLA-4, LAG-3, and TIM-3), thus improving anti-tumour functions.

Kevin Hemphill, R&D Manager at PerkinElmer’s Horizon Discovery explores how base editing has emerged as an attractive gene editing option for researchers wanting to develop stem cell-based therapies. Adult fibroblasts were cultured in a cocktail of transcription factors to reactivate embryonic gene expression patterns 2.

It helps explain why women with the disease survive longer with less severe symptoms than men during the early stages of the Alzheimer’s, despite having the same levels of toxic amyloid beta and tau proteins in their brains. The gene, called KDM6A , is a histone demethylase that is believed to function as a tumor suppressor.

These modifications regulate gene expression without changing the sequence or structure of DNA. The CRISPR gene editing system consists of the Cas9 enzyme, which serves as molecular scissors to cleave double-stranded DNA, and a guide RNA template targeted to a specific genomic sequence, which allows for precise editing.
