摘要
CRISPR/Cas9-mediated multiplex genome editing (MGE) conventionally uses multiple single-guide RNAs (sgRNAs) for gene-targeted mutagenesis via the non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) pathway. MGE has been proven to be highly efficient for functional gene disruption/knockout (KO) at multiple loci in mammalian cells or organisms. However, in the absence of a DNA donor, this approach is limited to small indels without transgene integration. Here, we establish the linear double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) and double-cut plasmid (dcPlasmid) combination-assisted MGE in channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus), allowing combinational deletion mutagenesis and transgene knock-in (KI) at multiple sites through NHEJ/homology-directed repair (HDR) pathway in parallel. In this study, we used single-sgRNA-based genome editing (ssGE) and multi-sgRNA-based MGE (msMGE) to replace the luteinizing hormone (lh) and melanocortin-4 receptor (mc4r) genes with the cathelicidin (As-Cath) transgene and the myostatin (two target sites: mstn1, mstn2) gene with the cecropin (Cec) transgene, respectively. A total of 9000 embryos were microinjected from three families, and 1004 live fingerlings were generated and analyzed. There was no significant difference in hatchability (all P > 0.05) and fry survival (all P > 0.05) between ssGE and msMGE. Compared to ssGE, CRISPR/Cas9-mediated msMGE assisted by the mixture of dsDNA and dcPlasmid donors yielded a higher knock-in (KI) efficiency of As-Cath (19.93 %, [59/296] vs. 12.96 %, [45/347]; P = 0.018) and Cec (22.97 %, [68/296] vs. 10.80 %, [39/361]; P = 0.003) transgenes, respectively. The msMGE strategy can be used to generate transgenic fish carrying two transgenes at multiple loci. In addition, double and quadruple mutant individuals can be produced with high efficiency (36.3 % ∼ 71.1 %) in one-step microinjection. In conclusion, we demonstrated that the CRISPR/Cas9-mediated msMGE allows the one-step generation of simultaneous insertion of the As-Cath and Cec transgenes at four sites, and the simultaneous disruption of the lh, mc4r, mstn1 and mstn2 alleles. This msMGE system, aided by the mixture donors, promises to pioneer a new dimension in the drive and selection of multiple designated traits in other non-model organisms.
