摘要:

成簇规律间隔短回文重复序列(clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats, CRISPR)系统作为一种高效、精确的基因编辑工具,已被广泛应用于基因功能研究、疾病治疗和生物技术开发。近年来,通过改造CRISPR系统,尤其是dCas9蛋白和单链向导RNA(single guide RNA,sgRNA),研究人员开发出多种基因表达调控策略。其中可诱导的CRISPR基因表达调控系统通过整合外部刺激响应元件(如光、化学小分子、温度等),实现了对基因表达的时间和空间精准控制。本文综述了基于CRISPR系统的基因表达调控策略与方法的最新进展,重点介绍了基于蓝光、红光/远红光、化学小分子以及热触发的基因表达调控系统的原理、设计策略。这些策略不仅为功能基因组学研究提供了强有力的工具,也为新一代基因治疗技术的发展奠定了基础。

Abstract:

As an efficient and accurate gene editing tool, the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats(CRISPR) system has been widely used in gene function research, disease treatment, and biotechnology development. In recent years, by modifying the CRISPR system, particularly the dCas9 protein and single guide RNA(sgRNA), researchers have developed various strategies for regulating gene expression. The inducible CRISPR gene expression regulation system enables temporal and spatial control of gene expression by integrating external stimulus response elements(such as light, chemical small molecules, temperature, etc.). This review highlights recent advancements in CRISPR-based gene expression regulation strategies and methods, focusing on the principles and design strategies of systems triggered by blue light, red/far-red light, chemical small molecules, and heat. These strategies not only provide powerful tools for functional genomics research, but also lay the foundation for the development of next-generation of gene therapy technologies.
