| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In order to develop novel periodontal regeneration therapeutics, we tried to develop genome editing in periodontal ligament cells using CRISPR/Cas9 system. First, we selected PLAP-1, Decorin and Biglycan genes as targets for CRISPR/Cas9 mediated gene editing. We constructed specific sgRNA-CRISPR/Cas9 expression plasmid and performed gene transfection into MPDL22 cells. Since gene transfer efficiency was not good enough for gene editing in MPDL22 cells, we are currently trying to establish primary periodontal ligament cells from PLAP-1 KO mice. The primary PLAP-1 KO cells will be helpful to edit single genomic locus of Decorin or Biglycan by CRISPR/Cas9.
