Modulating Collagen I Expression in Fibroblasts by CRISPR-Cas9 Base Editing of the Collagen 1A1 Promoter
26 Mar 2025
Abstract excerpt
Fibrotic diseases, contributing to a significant portion of global mortality, highlight the need for innovative therapies. This study explores a novel approach to disrupt the expression of collagen by using adenine base editing to target Col1a1, a key gene driving both fibrosis and cancer metastasis. Editing Col1a1 in fibroblasts demonstrated 18% editing efficiency. An analysis of a specific clone harboring a...
