    Abstract CRISPR-Cas systems play a critical role in the prokaryotic adaptive immunity against mobile genetic elements, such as phages and foreign plasmids. In the last decade, Cas9 has been established as a powerful and versatile gene editing tool. In its wake, the novel RNA-guided endonuclease system CRISPR-Cas12a is transforming biological research due to its unique properties, such as its high specificity or its ability to target T-rich motifs, to induce staggered double-strand breaks and to process RNA arrays. Meanwhile, there is an increasing need for efficient and safe gene activation, repression or editing in pluricellular organisms for crop improvement, gene therapy, research model development, and other goals. In this article, we review CRISPR-Cas12a applications in pluricellular organisms and discuss how the challenges characteristic of these complex models, such as vectorization or temperature variations in ectothermic species, can be overcome.

    Abstract The adenovirus vector platform remains one of the most efficient toolboxes for generation of transfer vehicles used in gene therapy and virotherapy to treat tumors, as well as vaccines to protect from infectious diseases. The adenovirus genome and capsids can be modified using highly efficient techniques, and vectors can be produced at high titers, which facilitates their rapid adaptation to current needs and disease applications. Over recent years, the adenovirus vector platform has been in the center of attention for vaccine development against the ongoing coronavirus SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 pandemic. The worldwide deployment of these vaccines has greatly deepened the knowledge on virus-host interactions and highlighted the need to further improve the effectiveness and safety not only of adenovirus-based vaccines but also of gene therapy and oncolytic virotherapy vectors. Based on the current evidence, we discuss here how adenoviral vectors can be further improved by intelligent molecular design. This review covers the full spectrum of state-of-the-art strategies to avoid vector-induced side effects ranging from the vectorization of non-canonical adenovirus types to novel genome engineering techniques.

    Abstract GABAA receptors are ligand-gated chloride channels and ionotropic receptors of GABA, the main inhibitory neurotransmitter in vertebrates. In this review, we discuss the major and diverse roles GABAA receptors play in the regulation of neuronal communication and the functioning of the brain. GABAA receptors have complex electrophysiological properties that enable them to mediate different types of currents such as phasic and tonic inhibitory currents. Their activity is finely regulated by membrane voltage, phosphorylation and several ions. GABAA receptors are pentameric and are assembled from a diverse set of subunits. They are subdivided into numerous subtypes, which differ widely in expression patterns, distribution and electrical activity. Substantial variations in macroscopic neural behavior can emerge from minor differences in structure and molecular activity between subtypes. Therefore, the diversity of GABAA receptors widens the neuronal repertoire of responses to external signals and contributes to shaping the electrical activity of neurons and other cell types.

    Abstract SARS-CoV-2 is a new human coronavirus (CoV), which emerged in China in late 2019 and is responsible for the global COVID-19 pandemic that caused more than 97 million infections and 2 million deaths in 12 months. Understanding the origin of this virus is an important issue, and it is necessary to determine the mechanisms of viral dissemination in order to contain future epidemics. Based on phylogenetic inferences, sequence analysis and structure-function relationships of coronavirus proteins, informed by the knowledge currently available on the virus, we discuss the different scenarios on the origin-natural or synthetic-of the virus. The data currently available are not sufficient to firmly assert whether SARS-CoV2 results from a zoonotic emergence or from an accidental escape of a laboratory strain. This question needs to be solved because it has important consequences on the risk/benefit balance of our interactions with ecosystems, on intensive breeding of wild and domestic animals, on some laboratory practices and on scientific policy and biosafety regulations. Regardless of COVID-19 origin, studying the evolution of the molecular mechanisms involved in the emergence of pandemic viruses is essential to develop therapeutic and vaccine strategies and to prevent future zoonoses.

    Abstract The scale of the ongoing SARS-CoV-2 pandemic warrants the urgent establishment of a global decentralized surveillance system to recognize local outbreaks and the emergence of novel variants of concern. Among available deep-sequencing technologies, nanopore-sequencing could be an important cornerstone, as it is mobile, scalable, and cost-effective. Therefore, streamlined nanopore-sequencing protocols need to be developed and optimized for SARS-CoV-2 variants identification. We adapted and simplified existing workflows using the 'midnight' 1200 bp amplicon split primer sets for PCR, which produce tiled overlapping amplicons covering almost the entire SARS-CoV-2 genome. Subsequently, we applied Oxford Nanopore Rapid Barcoding and the portable MinION Mk1C sequencer combined with the interARTIC bioinformatics pipeline. We tested a simplified and less time-consuming workflow using SARS-CoV-2-positive specimens from clinical routine and identified the CT value as a useful pre-analytical parameter, which may help to decrease sequencing failures rates. Complete pipeline duration was approx. 7 h for one specimen and approx. 11 h for 12 multiplexed barcoded specimens. The adapted protocol contains fewer processing steps and can be completely conducted within one working day. Diagnostic CT values deduced from qPCR standardization experiments can act as principal criteria for specimen selection. As a guideline, SARS-CoV-2 genome copy numbers lower than 4 × 10

    Abstract Oncolytic adenoviruses (OAd) represent an attractive treatment option for cancer. Clinical efficacy of commonly utilized human adenovirus type 5 (Ad5)-based oncolytic viruses is limited by variable expression levels of the coxsackie- and adenovirus receptor (CAR) in tumor cells and high prevalence of neutralizing antibodies against human Ad5. However, previous studies have highlighted alternative human Ad types as promising candidates for oncolytic therapy. In this study, we generated novel OAds based on Ad1, -2, -5, and -6 derived from species C Ads. These OAds contain a 24-bp deletion in the early gene E1A for tumor selective replication and express the RNAi inhibitor P19. We examined these OAds for in vitro anticancer activity on various cancer cell lines derived from lung, colon, gynecologic, bone, and pancreatic carcinoma. In most surveyed cell lines, OAds based on Ad1, -2, and -6 demonstrated higher cell lysis capability compared with Ad5, suggesting enhanced oncolytic potential. Moreover, enhanced oncolytic activity was associated with P19 expression in a cell type-dependent manner. We further explored a A549 tumor xenograft mouse model to compare the novel OAds directly with Ad5 and H101, an oncolytic adenovirus used in clinical trials. These P19-containing OAds based on Ad1, -2, and -6 showed significantly decelerated tumor progression compared with H101, indicating better antitumor potency in vivo. Our studies provide a novel path for OAd development based on alternative Ad types with improved effectiveness by RNA interference suppression.
