    Abstract With the ever-increasing developing rate of gene and cellular therapy applications and growing accessibility due to products receiving regulatory approval, the need for effective and reliable safety mechanisms to prevent or eliminate potentially fatal side effects is of the utmost importance. In this study, we present the CRISPR-induced suicide switch (CRISISS) as a tool to eliminate genetically modified cells in an inducible and highly efficient manner by targeting Cas9 to highly repetitive Alu retrotransposons in the human genome, causing irreparable genomic fragmentation by the Cas9 nuclease and resulting cell death. The suicide switch components, including expression cassettes for a transcriptionally and post-translationally inducible Cas9 and an Alu- specific single-guide RNA, were integrated into the genome of target cells via Sleeping-Beauty- mediated transposition. The resulting transgenic cells did not show signs of any impact on overall fitness when uninduced, as unintended background expression, background DNA damage response and background cell killing were not observed. When induced, however, a strong expression of Cas9, a strong DNA damage response and a rapid halt of cell proliferation coupled with near complete cell death within four days post-induction were seen. With this proof-of-concept study, we present a novel and promising approach for a robust suicide switch with potential utility for gene and cell therapy in the future.

    Abstract The Sleeping Beauty (SB) transposon is an advanced tool for genetic engineering and a useful model to investigate cut-and-paste DNA transposition in vertebrate cells. Here, we identify novel SB transposase mutants that display efficient and canonical excision but practically unmeasurable genomic re-integration. Based on phylogenetic analyses, we establish compensating amino acid replacements that fully rescue the integration defect of these mutants, suggesting epistasis between these amino acid residues. We further show that the transposons excised by the exc+/int− transposase mutants form extrachromosomal circles that cannot undergo a further round of transposition, thereby representing dead-end products of the excision reaction. Finally, we demonstrate the utility of the exc+/int− transposase in cassette removal for the generation of reprogramming factor-free induced pluripotent stem cells. Lack of genomic integration and formation of transposon circles following excision is reminiscent of signal sequence removal during V(D)J recombination, and implies that cut-and-paste DNA transposition can be converted to a unidirectional process by a single amino acid change.

    Abstract The Sleeping Beauty transposon system is a nonviral DNA transfer tool capable of efficiently mediating transposition-based, stable integration of DNA sequences of choice into eukaryotic genomes. Continuous refinements of the system, including the emergence of hyperactive transposase mutants and novel approaches in vectorology, greatly improve upon transposition efficiency rivaling viral-vector-based methods for stable gene insertion. Current developments, such as reversible transgenesis and proof-of-concept RNA-guided transposition, further expand on possible applications in the future. In addition, innate advantages such as lack of preferential integration into genes reduce insertional mutagenesis-related safety concerns while comparably low manufacturing costs enable widespread implementation. Accordingly, the system is recognized as a powerful and versatile tool for genetic engineering and is playing a central role in an ever-expanding number of gene and cell therapy clinical trials with the potential to become a key technology to meet the growing demand for advanced therapy medicinal products.
