Encapsulating Cas9 into extracellular vesicles by protein myristoylation

Joseph Andrew Whitley et al.

Summary: CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing is a promising method for treating genetic diseases. However, encapsulating the CRISPR/Cas9 machinery for delivery is challenging. In this study, the researchers found that myristoylated proteins were preferentially encapsulated into extracellular vesicles (EVs). By fusing a myristoylated peptide onto the N-terminus of Cas9, they were able to promote the myristoylation and encapsulation of Cas9 into EVs. Additionally, introducing VSV-G increased the transfection potential. The encapsulated Cas9 accounted for 0.7% of total EV protein. The EVs coated with VSV-G encapsulating Cas9/sgRNA-eGFP showed up to 42% eGFP knock out efficiency in recipient cells, with limited off-target effects.

An engineered CD81-based combinatorial library for selecting recombinant binders to cell surface proteins: Laminin binding CD81 enhances cellular uptake of extracellular vesicles

Stefan Vogt et al.

Summary: Research has shown that by using the CD81 protein to recognize target antigens, the targeted delivery capability of EVs can be enhanced, and this has been validated in mammalian cells. Mutant sequences are reformatted into full-length CD81 and expressed in EVs produced by HeLa cells, showing improved uptake by specific antigens.

Spatiotemporal control of CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing

Chenya Zhuo et al.

Summary: The CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technology shows promise in treating genetic and infectious diseases but faces challenges in precise editing. Emerging strategies to regulate CRISPR/Cas9 activity have shown potential in improving spatiotemporal control, but obstacles and limitations remain for clinical translation. Further exploration is needed to enhance the spatiotemporal operability of CRISPR/Cas9.

Targeted delivery of neural progenitor cell-derived extracellular vesicles for anti-inflammation after cerebral ischemia

Tian Tian et al.

Summary: Ischemic stroke is a major cause of death and anti-inflammatory strategies are promising for reducing brain injury during reperfusion. Stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as therapeutic agents for immune modulation. By attaching targeting ligands onto EVs using a recombinant fusion protein, researchers were able to deliver anti-inflammatory EVs to the ischemic brain, showing promising results in suppressing inflammation.

Preserving extracellular vesicles for biomedical applications: consideration of storage stability before and after isolation

Fumin Yuan et al.

Summary: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nanovesicles released by various cell types, known for their potent biological activities. While -80 degrees C is considered as the most favorable condition for storage, challenges remain in understanding the impact of storage conditions on EVs, indicating further research is needed.
