Abstract
Since its discovery, the Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeat (the CRISPR) system has been increasingly applied to therapeutic genome editing. Employment of several viral and non-viral vectors has enabled efficient delivery of the CRISPR system to target cells or tissues. In addition, the CRISPR system is able to modulate the target gene's expression in various ways, such as mutagenesis, gene integration, epigenome regulation, chromosomal rearrangement, base editing and mRNA editing. However, there are still limitations hindering an ideal application of the system: inefficient delivery, dysregulation of the delivered gene, the immune response against the CRISPR system, the off-target effects or the unintended on-target mutations. In addition, there are recent discoveries that have not been yet applied to CRISPR-mediated therapeutic genome editing. Here, we review the overall principles related to the therapeutic application of the CRISPR system, along with new strategies for the further application and prospects to overcome the limitations.
