摘要： CRISPR/Cas9 is a powerful tool for gene editing in various cell types and organisms. However, it is still challenging to screen genetically modified cells from an excess of unmodified cells. Our previous studies demonstrated that surrogate reporters can be used for efficient screening of genetically modified cells. Here, we developed two novel traffic light screening reporters, puromycin-mCherry-EGFP (PMG) based on single-strand annealing (SSA) and homology-directed repair (HDR), respectively, to measure the nuclease cleavage activity within transfected cells and to select genetically modified cells. We found that the two reporters could be selfrepaired coupling the genome editing events driven by different CRISPR/Cas nucleases, resulting in a functional puromycin-resistance and EGFP selection cassette that can be afforded to screen genetically modified cells by puromycin selection or FACS enrichment. We further compared the novel reporters with different traditional reporters at several endogenous loci in different cell lines, for the enrichment efficiencies of genetically modified cells. The results indicated that the SSA-PMG reporter exhibited improvements in enriching gene knockout cells, while the HDR-PMG system was very useful in enriching knock-in cells. These results provide robust and efficient surrogate reporters for the enrichment of CRISPR/Cas9-mediated editing in mammalian cells, thereby advancing basic and applied research.
