Abstract:

Genome editing based on the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats(CRISPR)/ CRISPR-associated protein 9(CRISPR/Cas9) system provides an efficient and rapid tool for precise control and regulation of mammalian cell genome. Its chemical biology and biomedical application is however challenged by the delivery of the CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing tool that composed of Cas9 protein and gRNA into mammalian cells. In recent years, a large variety of non-viral delivery vectors have been designed for CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing delivery in the form of DNA, messenger RNA(mRNA) and ribonucleoprotein complex(RNP). In this article, we summarize the most recent progress of non-viral CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing tool, and the application prospect of CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing technology in chemical biology.

Key words: Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats(CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein 9(CRISPR/Cas9), Genome editing, Drug delivery, Non-viral vector, Nanoparticles
