Epidermolysis bullosa simplex (EBS) is a rare mechanobullous disease caused by dominant-negative mutations in either keratin 5 (KRT5) or keratin 14 (KRT14) genes. Until now, there is no cure for EBS and the care is primarily palliative. The discovery of the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)-Cas9 system raised hope for the treatment of EBS and many other autosomal dominant diseases by mutant allele-specific gene disruption. In this study, we aim to disrupt the mutant allele for the heterozygous EBS pathogenic variation c.449T>C (p.Leu150Pro) within KRT5. This mutation generates, naturally, a novel protospacer-adjacent motif for the endonuclease Streptococcus pyogenes Cas9. Thus, we designed a single-guide RNA that guides the Cas9 to introduce a DNA cleavage of the mutant allele in patient's keratinocytes. Then, transfected cells were single-cell cloned and analyzed by deep sequencing. The expression of KRT5 and KRT14 was quantified, and the keratin intermediate filament stability was assessed. Results showed successful stringent mutant allele-specific knockout. An absence of synthesis of mutant transcript was further confirmed indicating permanent mutant allele-specific inactivation. Edited EBS patient keratinocytes produced a lower amount of K5 and K14 proteins compared with nonedited EBS cells, and no disturbance of cellular properties was observed.
