Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 7. Genome editing in mouse heart with attached electrospun PDO nonwoven fabrics with AAV vectors for gene knock-in through HITI. Schematic representation of (a) the Cas9/gRNA target site at exon 39 of the Myh6 locus and (b) genome-editing assays for GFP knock-in through HITI. The light-blue pentagon represents the Cas9/gRNA target sequence. The black line within the light-blue pentagon represents the Cas9 cleavage site. (c) A representative image of immunostaining of GFP- positive cells (green) with nucleic staining by Hoechst 33342 (blue), 14 days after the attachment of the fabrics to the heart below the fabrics with the AAV vectors for gene knock-in through HITI. The scale bar represents 200 µm.
Article Snippet: Plasmid The gRNA cloning plasmid (gRNA_cloning vector), GFP-expression self-comple- mentary AAV plasmid (pscAAV-CAG-GFP), GFP-containing plasmid (pCAG-1BPNLSCas9-1BPNLS-2AGFP), Cas9-expression AAV plasmid (pAAV-nEFCas9), and AAV donor backbone plasmid (pAAV-rMERTK-HITI) were obtained from Addgene (Addgene 41824, 83279, 87109, 87115, and 87119, respectively).
