CRISPR/Cas9-Induced Knockout of Sting Increases Susceptibility of Zebrafish to Bacterial Infection

Abstract: Stimulator of interferon genes (STING) is an adapter protein that is activated when cyclic dinucleotides (CDNs) are present. CDNs originate from the cytosolic DNA of both pathogens and hosts. STING activation promotes efficient immune responses against viral infections; however, its impact in bacterial infections is unclear. In this study, we investigated the role of Sting in bacterial infections by successfully creating a sting-deficient (sting(−/−) with a 4-bp deletion) knockout zebrafish model using CRISPR/… Show more

“…In fishes, the cGAS‐STING pathway has been shown to play an important role in their antiviral and antibacterial immune responses (Z. F. Liu et al, 2020; de Oliveira Mann et al, 2019; Sellaththurai et al, 2023). Our results extend these observations to the conservation of cGAS‐STING function in tissue regeneration and aging.…”

“…The targets of studies include lysosomes [170,171], endoplasmic reticulum [172], membranes [173], membrane channels [174], cytoskeleton [175], recombination processes [176], aneuploidy [177], expression regulation [178], and signaling [179]. There is research on the genetic basis of the organism's response to oxidative stress [180][181][182][183][184], hypoxia [185][186][187], sodium ion uptake from the surrounding aquatic environment and ammonia excretion [188][189][190], inflammation processes [191,192], immunity [193][194][195][196] and disease resistance [197][198][199][200][201].…”

“…And knockout of them is not desirable. The sting [199] and tnf-α1 [341] genes are responsible for resistance to Edwardsiella piscicida, crp for resistance to Streptococcus pneumoniae [200], and cxc3.3 for resistance to Mycobacterium spp. [342].…”

“…To overcome these challenges, accelerate the drug discovery and development processes, researchers around the globe are working on limiting these downfalls and developing target specific models for inflammation. CRISPR/Cas9 technology is widely integrated in zebrafish studies which can enable the researchers to generate zebrafish lines with precise gene mutations related to inflammation [ [180] , [181] , [182] ]. Moreover, for IBD, various studies are being performed to learn about the interaction between the zebrafish gut microbiome and the immune system [ 178 , 183 , 184 ].…”
