Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We produced a new assay system for detecting genome editing efficiency of CRISPA-Cas9 (SpCas9) by measuring fluorescent intensity emitting from the fluorescent proteins (Venus) expressed in 293T and COS7 cells, and then investigated and evaluated some compounds that were reported as affecting the genome editing (DNA repair) efficiency. By measuring the Venus fluorescent intensity in the cells using microplate reader and FCM, it was possible to acquire quantitatively the efficiency of Venus genome editing by SpCas9. When we analyzed the compounds of AZT, SCR7, and L755507 reported as genome editing enhancers or inhibitors by using the assay system, significant change of Venus intensity in the presence of the compounds were not detected.
