New CRISPR Technology for Creating Cell Models of Lipoprotein Assembly and Secretion

Narasimha Anaganti et al. Curr Atheroscler Rep. 2023 May.

Abstract

Purpose of review: This review is aimed at providing an overview of new developments in gene editing technology, including examples of how this technology has been used to develop cell models for studying the effects of gene ablation or missense mutations on lipoprotein assembly and secretion.

Recent findings: CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing is superior to other technologies because of its ease, sensitivity, and low off-target effects. This technology has been used to study the importance of microsomal triglyceride transfer protein in the assembly and secretion of apolipoprotein B-containing lipoproteins, as well as to establish causal effects of APOB gene missense mutations on lipoprotein assembly and secretion. CRISPR/Cas9 technology is anticipated to provide unprecedented flexibility in studying protein structure and function in cells and animals and to yield mechanistic insights into variants in the human genome.

Keywords: CRISPR; Cas9; Gene editing; Lipoproteins; Missense mutations.
