Abstract

CRISPR/Cas is a revolutionary gene editing technology with wide‐ranging utility. The safe, non‐viral delivery of CRISPR/Cas components would greatly improve future therapeutic utility. We report the synthesis and development of zwitterionic amino lipids (ZALs) that are uniquely able to (co)deliver long RNAs including Cas9 mRNA and sgRNAs. ZAL nanoparticle (ZNP) delivery of low sgRNA doses (15 n m ) reduces protein expression by >90 % in cells. In contrast to transient therapies (such as RNAi), we show that ZNP delivery of sgRNA enables permanent DNA editing with an indefinitely sustained 95 % decrease in protein expression. ZNP delivery of mRNA results in high protein expression at low doses in vitro (<600 pM) and in vivo (1 mg kg −1 ). Intravenous co‐delivery of Cas9 mRNA and sgLoxP induced expression of floxed tdTomato in the liver, kidneys, and lungs of engineered mice. ZNPs provide a chemical guide for rational design of long RNA carriers, and represent a promising step towards improving the safety and utility of gene editing.

  • Miller et al.'s zwitterionic amino lipid vector showed permanent editing of LoxP gene in genetically engineered mice after intravenous administration.

    “In another study, Miller et al. reported a non-viral vector based on zwitterionic amino lipids to deliver Cas9 mRNA and sgRNAs. In contrast to transient therapies, they showed permanent editing of LoxP gene in genetically engineered mice containing a homozygous Rosa26 promoter Lox-Stop-Lox tdTomato (tdTO) cassette after intravenous administration [105].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
