Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 7. Representative single cell clones isolated from porcine hepatocellular carcinoma cells subject to CRISPR/Cas9-mediated ARID1A disruption. (A) Possible editing outcomes of CRISPR/Cas9 include the following: an identical indel is introduced in both alleles (homozygous mutation), different indels occur in each allele (biallelic mutation) or an indel is observed in an allele while the other allele remains unedited (heterozygous mutation). (B–D) Analysis of representative single cells clones isolated from porcine HCC cells transfected with Cas9 and ARID1A gRNA#1. (B) Reads detected by targeted NGS analysis mapped to the reference sequence (top) for three single cell clones. Dashed line: predicted Cas9 cleavage position; red box: insertion; dash: deleted base. (C) The predicted translation of ARID1A protein for the representative clones. The dotted region represents amino acids with frameshift mutation. (D) Arginase-1 staining (green) merged with DAPI staining (blue) for parental porcine HCC cell line and the representative single-cell clones (scale bar = 200 μm). All clones show positive arginase-1 staining, confirming their hepatocellular origin. HCC: Hepatocellular carcinoma; NGS: Next-generation sequencing.
