Keratinocytes sense and eliminate CRISPR DNA through STING/IFN-κ activation and APOBEC3G induction
16 Mar 2023
Abstract excerpt
CRISPR/Cas9 has been proposed as a treatment for genetically inherited skin disorders. Here we report that CRISPR transfection activates STING-dependent antiviral responses in keratinocytes, resulting in heightened endogenous interferon (IFN) responses through induction of IFN-κ, leading to decreased plasmid stability secondary to induction of the cytidine deaminase gene APOBEC3G. Notably, CRISPR-generated KO...
