Circular modified gene trap vector is initially linearized by vector-targeting Cas9-sgRNA complex.
Here we combined CRISPR/Cas9 with modified gene trap vectors for lncRNA tagging and expression manipulation.
In principle, modified gene trap vector and Cas9-2sgRNA were transfected simultaneously into 293T cells for donor DNA plasmid linearization and targeted insertion at desired genome locus (Fig. 1A).
As gene trap system has been well-established to disrupt gene functions with selection markers/tags for subsequent functional analysis (Stanford et al., 2001), we here modified gene trap vectors and used CRISPR/Cas9 to establish a scalable tool entitled CTRL (CRISPR-mediated tagging and regulation of lncRNAs) for lncRNA tagging and expression manipulation in mammalian cells.
CTRL system contains a modified gene trap vector, a plasmid expressing S. pyogenes Cas9 (SpCand) and two sgRNAs driven by two U6 promoters respectively (one genome-targeting sgRNA and another donor plasmid-targeting sgRNA) (defined as Cas9-2sgRNA) for lncRNA tagging and expression manipulation purposes.
The modified gene trap is highly mutagenic at molecular and phenotypic levels, resulting in isolation of two embryonic lethal and one post-embryonic lethal mutations which are revertible by Cre-mediated recombination.
