Abstract PR012: GLIO-1 is a selective DHODH inhibitor that is effective in IDH-mutant gliomas and KDM6-mutated cancers

An selective, on-target, and well-tolerated DHODH inhibitor, GLIO-1, that is effective in IDH-mutant gliomas is developed and nominated as a new pan-cancer biomarker and targeted therapy pairing, KDM6A inactivation and GLIO-1, that is poised for clinical translation.

Direct comparison of CRISPR knockout and interference with Perturb-seq

CRISPR knockout (CRISPRko) and CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) are two workhorse technologies for loss-of-function studies, yet direct comparisons between the two are scant relative to their widespread adoption. Here, we establish benchmarking libraries for Cas9-based CRISPRko and CRISPRi screens using Perturb-seq as the read-out. For both modalities, we observe consistent transcriptional signatures among cells with the same genes perturbed, strong evidence of on-target signal. We also examine tradeoffs between modalities: while CRISPRi guides demonstrate heightened rates of off-target activity, we also observe artifacts stemming from the cellular response to double-stranded breaks with the use of CRISPRko. The libraries and analyses presented here will be a useful benchmarking and de-risking resource for any group preparing for a large-scale Perturb-seq screen.

Optimized parameters for CRISPR-Cas9 interference library design.

This work compares the performance of multiple KRAB domain systems, develops an updated CRISPRi-specific on-target scoring scheme, and quantitatively characterize off-target effects associated with seed-sequence patterns.
