TL;DR
This study demonstrates the efficiency of the CRISPR/Cas system in generating mice with simultaneous mutations in multiple genes, specifically achieving high disruption rates in five genes using coinjection strategies. This innovative approach not only streamlines the creation of genetically modified animals but also enhances the ability to investigate functionally redundant genes and their interactions, significantly advancing genetic research.

Abstract
Mice carrying mutations in multiple genes are traditionally generated by sequential recombination in embryonic stem cells and/or time-consuming intercrossing of mice with a single mutation. The CRISPR/Cas system has been adapted as an efficient gene-targeting technology with the potential for multiplexed genome editing. We demonstrate that CRISPR/Cas-mediated gene editing allows the simultaneous disruption of five genes (Tet1, 2, 3, Sry, Uty--8 alleles) in mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells with high efficiency. Coinjection of Cas9 mRNA and single-guide RNAs (sgRNAs) targeting Tet1 and Tet2 into zygotes generated mice with biallelic mutations in both genes with an efficiency of 80%. Finally, we show that coinjection of Cas9 mRNA/sgRNAs with mutant oligos generated precise point mutations simultaneously in two target genes. Thus, the CRISPR/Cas system allows the one-step generation of animals carrying mutations in multiple genes, an approach that will greatly accelerate the in vivo study of functionally redundant genes and of epistatic gene interactions.

Key Findings
Research Background and Objectives
Traditional methods for generating mice with multiple gene mutations involve labor-intensive processes such as sequential recombination in embryonic stem cells and extensive intercrossing of single-mutant mice. This study aims to demonstrate the efficacy of the CRISPR/Cas system as a novel and efficient approach for multiplexed genome editing, enabling the simultaneous disruption of multiple genes in a single step.
Main Methods/Materials/Experimental Design
The research employs the CRISPR/Cas gene-editing technology, focusing on the following key steps:
- CRISPR/Cas System: Utilizes Cas9 protein and single-guide RNAs (sgRNAs) for targeted gene disruption.
- Target Genes: The study targets five genes: Tet1, Tet2, Tet3, Sry, and Uty.
- Embryonic Stem Cells: Mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells are used for initial gene editing.
- Zygote Injection: Coinjection of Cas9 mRNA and sgRNAs into zygotes is performed to achieve biallelic mutations.
The technical workflow can be represented as follows:
Key Results and Findings
- High Efficiency: The CRISPR/Cas system allowed for the simultaneous disruption of five genes with high efficiency in ES cells.
- Biallelic Mutations: Coinjection of Cas9 mRNA and sgRNAs targeting Tet1 and Tet2 resulted in 80% efficiency for generating biallelic mutations.
- Precise Mutations: The method also enabled the introduction of precise point mutations in two target genes when combined with mutant oligos.
Main Conclusions/Significance/Innovation
The study demonstrates that the CRISPR/Cas system can facilitate the one-step generation of mice with mutations in multiple genes, which significantly streamlines the process of genetic manipulation in research. This innovative approach is expected to enhance the study of functionally redundant genes and epistatic interactions, ultimately advancing our understanding of complex genetic networks.
Research Limitations and Future Directions
- Limitations: The study primarily focuses on a limited number of genes, and the long-term effects of these mutations in vivo remain to be fully characterized. Additionally, the efficiency may vary depending on the specific gene targets and their genomic contexts.
- Future Directions: Further research should explore the application of this technology to a broader range of genes and biological systems. Investigating the functional consequences of these mutations in various models will be crucial for understanding their roles in development and disease. Additionally, optimizing the CRISPR/Cas system for improved precision and reduced off-target effects will be important for future applications.
