inducible gRNA (gRNAi) AAV vector

Construct Pattern·Research·Since 2016

Also known as: gRNAi AAV vector, inducible gRNAi vector

Taxonomy: Mechanism Branch / Architecture. Workflows sit above the mechanism and technique branches rather than replacing them.

Summary

The inducible gRNA (gRNAi) AAV vector is an adeno-associated viral construct that places a CRISPR guide RNA under an H1/TO promoter and co-expresses Tet repressor (TetR) for doxycycline-dependent control of gRNA expression. In the cited 2016 study, related H1/TO and U6/TO promoter configurations supported doxycycline-dependent DNA editing in vitro, and the system was described for inducible in vitro and in vivo genome editing.

Usefulness & Problems

Why this is useful

This construct provides inducible control over guide RNA expression within an AAV delivery format, enabling temporal regulation of CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing. The study further suggested that the design might be cross-compatible with existing Streptococcus pyogenes Cas9 systems, which could extend inducibility to established Cas9 platforms.

We also demonstrate that our inducible gRNAi vector can be used to edit the genomes of neurons in vivo within the mouse brain in a Dox dependent manner.

Source:

Here, we report the development of a viral mediated CRISPR/Cas9 system that can be rendered inducible utilizing doxycycline (Dox) and can be delivered to cells in vitro and in vivo utilizing adeno-associated virus (AAV).

Problem solved

It addresses the problem of making CRISPR guide RNA expression doxycycline responsive rather than constitutive in a viral vector context. This is intended to support inducible genome editing in vitro and in vivo by coupling TetR-mediated repression with doxycycline-triggered derepression.

The construct is an AAV vector designed to express the gRNA from an H1/TO promoter and to co-express TetR. Doxycycline is required as the inducing small molecule, and the cited work also evaluated H1/TO promoters of varying length and a U6/TO promoter in vitro.

The supplied evidence is limited to one primary study and provides sparse quantitative performance details. Cross-compatibility with many existing S. pyogenes Cas9 systems was presented as a possibility rather than a demonstrated result in the provided evidence.
