CRISPR activation (CRISPRa) is a type of CRISPR gene editing that is used to overexpress certain genes. Although this technique is broadly used, predicting its efficiency when aimed at certain points in the genome can be challenging, making it hard to reliably overexpress certain genes.

Mazzetti and Schneider give the example of T3 Pharmaceuticals, a University of Basel spin-off that developed a proprietary cancer therapy platform based on regulating and harnessing the natural behaviours of live bacteria. One such company, drawing on Vilnius’ gene editing expertise, is Caszyme, which was founded by Professor Šikšnys.

However, there is limited knowledge about the upstream regulators of most genes. A downstream approach has traditionally been used by scientists to map networks, wherein a gene for a protein is removed one at a time and the impact on the immune cell’s function is observed. All 24 of the regulators affected the levels of IL2RA.

A naturally occurring system for tuning CRISPR-Cas9 expressing in bacteria, identified in a study published in Cell , could have implications for gene editing therapies as well. The authors suggest natural tracr-L regulates autoimmunity. And removing tracr-L altogether greatly increased CRISPR-Cas9 expression.

Rolf Turk , Senior Manager, Genomics Medicine at Integrated DNA Technologies, examines how CRISPR is being used to enhance cancer therapies. While type II (Cas9) is mainly used for gene-editing applications, CRISPR detecting tools primarily rely on type V (Cas12) and type VI (Cas13) collateral activity.

The approach will allow researchers to understand the role individual genes play in normal cell growth and development, in aging, and in such diseases as cancer, said Shiri Levy, a postdoctoral fellow in UW Institute for Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine (ISCRM) and the lead author of the paper. Cas9 binds and uses RNA as an address-tag.
