In this study, the efficacy of CRISPR/Cas9 vectors containing different lengths of g RNA in reduction of the off-target phenomenon in the bovine MSTN gene knockout fibroblast cell lines was assessed, providing insight into improved methods for livestock breeding. A 20-bp g RNA was designed for the second exon of the bovine MSTN gene, and CRISPR/Cas9-B was constructed to guide the Cas9 protein to the AGAACCAGGAGAAGATGGACTGG site. The alternative CRISPR/Cas9-19, CRISPR/Cas9-18, CRISPR/Cas9-17 and CRISPR/Cas9-15 vectors were constructed using g RNAs truncated by 1, 2, 3 and 5 bp, respectively. These vectors were then introduced into bovine fetal fibroblasts by the electroporation method, and single cells were obtained by flow cytometry sorting. PCR was performed for each off-target site. All samples were sequenced and analyzed, and finally the efficiency of each vector in target and off-target sites was compared. The CRISPR/Cas9-B vector successfully knocked out the MSTN gene, but the off-target phenomenon was observed. The efficiencies of CRISPR/Cas-B, CRISPR/Cas9-19, CRISPR/Cas9-18, CRISPR/Cas9-17 and CRISPR/Cas9-15 in triggering gene mutations at MSTN targeting sites were 62.16, 17.39, 7.69, 74.29 and 3.85%, respectively;rates of each at the Off-MSTN-1 locus were 52.86, 0, 0, 8.82 and 0%, respectively;all were 0% at the Off-MSTN-2 locus;rates at the Off-MSTN-3 site were 44.87, 51.72, 86.36, 0 and 50%, respectively. The efficiency of the CRISPR/Cas9-17 plasmid in the MSTN site was higher than that in the CRISPR/Cas9-B plasmid, and the effect at the three off-target sites was significantly lower. This study demonstrated that the CRISPR/Cas9-17 plasmid constructed by truncating 3 bp g RNA can effectively reduce the off-target effect without reducing the efficiency of bovine MSTN gene targeting. This finding will provide more effective gene editing strategy for use of CRISPR/Cas9 technology.展开更多

To test the knock-in efficiency, a set of ZFNs and CRISPR/Cas9 plasmids were designed to edit the bovine myostatin（MSTN） gene at exon 2, while a set of TALENs and CRISPR/Cas9 plasmids were designed for editing the dairy goat β-casein gene at exon 2. Donor plasmids utilizing the ZFNs, TALENs, and CRISPR/Cas9 cutting sites were constructed in theGFP-PGK-Neo R plasmid background, including a 5′ and 3′ homologous arm flanking the genes humanized Fat-1（h Fat-1） or enhanced green fluorescent protein（eGFP）. Subsequently, the ZFNs, TALENs, or CRISPR/Cas9 and thehFat-1 or eGFP plasmids were co-transfected by electroporation into bovine and dairy goat fetal fibroblasts. After G418（Geneticin） selection, single cells were obtained by mouth pipetting, flow cytometry or a cell shove. The gene knock-in events were screened by PCR across the homologous arms. The results showed that in bovine fetal fibrobalsts, the efficiencies of ZFNs-mediated eGFP andhFat-1 gene knock-ins were 13.68 and 0%, respectively. The efficiencies of CRISPR/Cas9-mediated eGFP andhFat-1 gene knock-ins were 77.02 and 79.01%, respectively. The eGFP gene knock-in efficiency using CRISPR/Cas9 was about 5.6 times higher than when using the ZFNs gene editing system. Additionally, thehFat-1 gene knock-in was only obtained when using the CRISPR/Cas9 system. The difference of knockin efficiencies between the ZFNs and CRISPR/Cas9 systems were extremely significant（P〈0.01）. In the dairy goat fetal fibroblasts, the efficiencies of TALENs-mediated eGFP andhFat-1 gene knock-ins were 32.35 and 26.47%, respectively. Theefficiencies of eGFP and hFat-1 gene knock-ins using CRISPR/Cas9 were 70.37 and 74.29%, respectively. The knock-in efficiencies difference between the TALENs and CRISPR/Cas9 systems were extremely significant（P〈0.01）. This study demonstrated that CRISPR/Cas9 was more efficient at gene knock-ins in domesticated animal cells than ZFNs and TALENs. The CRISPR/Cas9 technology offers a new era of precise gene editing in domesticated animal cell lines.展开更多
