| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Mammalian artificial chromosome (MAC) vectors have several advantages as gene delivery vectors, such as stable and independent maintenance in host cells without integration
Previously, a MAC containing a multi-integrase platform (MI-MAC) was developed to facilitate the transfer of multiple genes into desired cells. To introduce multiple-genes into MI-MAC platform, we developed multiple-gene-loading method by combining multi-integration system-equipped MAC vector and CRISPR-Cas9. Next, we developed multiple expression cassette exchange system via three integrase systems on a MAC vector. We designed three excision cassettes that expressed luciferase, where the luciferase expression could be exchanged to a fluorescent protein by site-specific recombination. The transient expression of an integrase caused the targeted luciferase activity to be lost and fluorescence was activated. Furthermore, we developed in vitro cisplatin nephrotoxicity test using these systems.
