Repurposing CRISPR/Cas to Discover SARS-CoV-2 Detecting and Neutralizing Aptamers
© 2023 The Authors. Advanced Science published by Wiley-VCH GmbH..
RNA aptamers provide useful biological probes and therapeutic agents. New methodologies to screen RNA aptamers will be valuable by complementing the traditional Systematic Evolution of Ligands by Exponential Enrichment (SELEX). Meanwhile, repurposing clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR associated systems (Cas) has expanded their utility far beyond their native nuclease function. Here, CRISmers, a CRISPR/Cas-based novel screening system for RNA aptamers based on binding to a chosen protein of interest in a cellular context, is presented. Using CRISmers, aptamers are identified specifically targeting the receptor binding domain (RBD) of the spike glycoprotein of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Two aptamer leads enable sensitive detection and potent neutralization of SARS-CoV-2 Delta and Omicron variants in vitro. Intranasal administration of one aptamer, further modified with 2'-fluoro pyrimidines (2'-F), 2'-O-methyl purines (2'-O), and conjugation with both cholesterol and polyethylene glycol of 40 kDa (PEG40K), achieves effective prophylactic and therapeutic antiviral activity against live Omicron BA.2 variants in vivo. The study concludes by demonstrating the robustness, consistency, and potential broad utility of CRISmers using two newly identified aptamers but switching CRISPR, selection marker, and host species.
