In vivo CRISPR/Cas9 targeting of fusion oncogenes for selective elimination of cancer cells

Fusion oncogenes (FO) are common in cancers, but specific targeting of these chimeric genes are challenging. Here the authors report a CRISPR/Cas9 strategy that targets two intronic regions to disrupt the FOs in cancer cells and show that this approach reduces tumour growth and prolongs survival in...

Sumario:Fusion oncogenes (FO) are common in cancers, but specific targeting of these chimeric genes are challenging. Here the authors report a CRISPR/Cas9 strategy that targets two intronic regions to disrupt the FOs in cancer cells and show that this approach reduces tumour growth and prolongs survival in animal models of cancer.
