Targeted Reactivation of X-linked Endogenous FOXP3 Gene from X-chromosome Inactivation in Human Female Breast Cancer Cells
2021-08-15
Abstract excerpt
Unlike autosomal tumor suppressors, which must be inactivated by a two-hit Knudson mechanism, X-linked tumor suppressors can be inactivated by a single hit due to X-chromosome inactivation (XCI). Here, we argue that targeted reactivation of the non-mutated allele from XCI offers a potential therapy for female breast cancers. Towards this goal, we developed a dual CRISPR interference and activation (CRISPRi/a) appr...
