Genome-edited human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) hold great promise for therapeutic applications.However,low editing efficiency has hampered the applications of CRISPR-Cas9 technology in creating knockout and homology-directed repair (HDR)-edited iPSC lines,particularly for silent genes.This is partially due to chromatin compaction,inevitably limiting Cas9 access to the target DNA.Among the six HDAC inhibitors we examined,vorinostat,or suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid(SAHA),led to the highest HDR efficiency at both open and closed loci,with acceptable toxicity.HDAC inhibitors equally increased non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) editing efficiencies (～50％) at both open and closed loci,due to the considerable HDAC inhibitor-mediated increase in Cas9 and sgRNA expression.However,we observed more substantial HDR efficiency improvement at closed loci relative to open chromatin (2.8 vs.1.7-fold change).These studies provide a new strategy for HDR-editing of silent genes in iPSCs.
