Higher Knockout Efficiency and Functionality

200 Ways We Optimize CRISPR to Achieve High Editing Across Cell Lines

No two cell lines are the same, so there’s no single best CRISPR protocol for all cells. We perform a rapid high-throughput optimization for every cell line to achieve high-efficiency knockouts in cell lines across numerous tissue types.

EC-cell line optimizationFigure 1. EditCo’s 200-point optimization has been performed in over 100 human cell lines across 15 tissue types to identify the best parameters that yield the highest editing efficiency for each cell line. High editing efficiencies were observed in easy, moderate, and challenging cell and tissue types. Example cell lines (noted by * and color) that were relatively b) easy (red), c) moderate (green), and d) challenging (blue) are shown.

The Highest-Efficiency Knockout Strategy

Hundreds of Diverse and Efficient Knockouts Generated in Under 2 Weeks

36 express pool cell lines

Figure 1. Express Cell Pools generated across 355 genes and 36 different cell lines in just 12 days. Using EditCo’s multi-guide designs, up to 3 modified gRNAs per target were conjugated with SpCas9, and RNPs were transfected into cells. On average, Express Knockout Cell Pools were generated in 12 days and achieved >80 percent Gene Knockout (Knockout Score percentage).

 

Sustained Gene Knockout Across Cell Passages

Sustained Express editing efficiency

Figure 2. High editing efficiency is sustained through multiple cell passages. Using EditCo’s multi-guide designs, up to 3 modified gRNA per target (across 6 genes) were conjugated with SpCas9, and RNPs were transfected into U2OS cells. Editing efficiencies were measured at different time points post-transfection and up to 4 passages. The median editing efficiency is >85 percent for each of the targets. 

 

Cell Viability Is Maintained Across Passages

Sustained Express viability

Figure 3. Cell viability is maintained through multiple cell passages in U2OS cells. Viability was taken using Celigo. Please note that CDK9 is a common essential gene, hence the lower viability and cell number observed along the passages.

 

Our Unique Guide Design Powers Functional Knockouts and Sustained Protein Depletion

Multi-guide schematic

Figure 4. The multi-guide approach consists of 3 gRNAs spatially coordinated to create a fragement deletion in a single exon. Targeting a single early exon of a gene induces multiple concurrent double-strand breaks in the target sequence of a gene. This results in disruptive one or more >21 bp fragment deletions. This approach is associated with higher frequencies of knockout alleles in edited pools but reduced occurrence of off-target edits as compared to single-guide approaches.

 

Multi-guide KO Gel

Figure 5. Edited cell pools utilizing the multi-guide technology shows persistent protein depletion. This enables direct and reliable use of these cell pools for functional assays. Western blot analyses for all 5 knockout target genes indicate a complete depletion of proteins across the 3 specified time points (days 7, 14, and 21) relative to the negative controls. Knockout cell pools for the target genes were generated by nucleofecting U2OS cells with multi-guide sgRNA and Cas9 (as RNPs). A negative control pool was also transfected for each target using non-targeting sgRNA.

Engineered Cell Libraries Demonstrate High Editing Efficiencies Across Cell Types

Engineered Cell Libraries provide a set of CRISPR-edited cell pools that can be used directly in functional assays for a wide array of different screening and discovery applications. Editing efficiencies for each pool are assessed by sequencing and ICE analysis to inform the interpretation of assay results.

Knockouts in Human Immortalized Cell Line

ECL Human KOs

Figure 1. A library of knockout cell pools corresponding to 42 gene targets was generated via high-throughput editing in human cells. Data from the experiment are shown above. An Engineered Cell Library with 42 gene targets was generated via high-throughput editing of an immortalized-adherent human cell line, A375, using multi-guide technology. The data demonstrate both indel frequencies and Knockout Scores. Of the 84 percent of pools successfully sequenced and analyzed, an average indel frequency of 99 percent and an average Knockout Score of 98 percent were observed.

 

Knockouts in Mouse Immortalized Cell Line

Figure 2. A library of knockout cell pools corresponding to 192 gene targets was generated via high-throughput editing in mouse cells. The data demonstrate both indel frequencies and Knockout Scores. Among the 80 percent of pools successfully analyzed, the average indel frequency was 89 percent, while the average Knockout Score was 84 percent.

 

Our Unique Guide Design Powers Functional Knockouts and Sustained Protein Depletion

The multi-guide approach consists of up to 3 gRNAs (green bars) spatially coordinated that target a single early exon of a gene and induce multiple concurrent double-strand breaks in the target sequence. This results in disruptive one or more >21 bp fragment deletions. This approach is associated with higher frequencies of knockout alleles in edited pools but reduced occurrence of off-target edits as compared to single-guide approaches.
