Excess of guide RNA reduces knockin efficiency and drastically increases on-target large deletions

Résumé

CRISPR-Cas9 cleavage efficacy and accuracy are the main challenges gene editing faces, and they are particularly affected by the optimal formation of the ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex. We used nano differential scanning fluorimetry, a label and immobilization-free assay, to demonstrate that an equimolar ratio of Cas9 and guide RNA (gRNA) is optimal for RNP complex formation. We almost achieved 50% of green fluorescent protein (GFP) to blue fluorescent protein (BFP) conversion using a biallelic homozygous GFP human induced pluripotent stem cell line, when 0.4 μM of Cas9, equimolar Cas9/gRNA ratio and 2 μM of single-stranded oligonucleotide, were used and showed that increasing Cas9/gRNA ratio did not further improve KI efficiency. Additionally, excess gRNA decreased point mutation KI efficiency in rat embryos and drastically increased the occurrence of on-target large deletions. These findings highlight the importance of CRISPR/Cas9 stoichiometric optimization to ensure efficient and accurate KI generation, which will be applicable to other in vitro as well as in vivo models.
