Targeted knock-in supported by the CRISPR/Cas systems enables the insertion, deletion, and substitution of genome sequences exactly as designed. Although this technology is considered to have wide range of applications in life sciences, one of its prerequisites for practical use is to improve the efficiency, precision, and specificity achieved. To improve the efficiency of targeted knock-in, there first needs to be a reporter system that permits simple and accurate monitoring of targeted knock-in events. In the present study, we created such a system using the PIGP gene, an autosomal gene essential for GPI-anchor biosynthesis, as a reporter gene. We first deleted a PIGP allele using Cas9 nucleases and then incorporated a truncating mutation into the other PIGP allele in two near-diploid human cell lines. The resulting cell clones were used to monitor the correction of the PIGP mutations by detecting GPI anchors distributed over the cell membrane via flow cytometry. We confirmed the utility of these reporter clones by performing targeted knock-in in these clones via a Cas9 nickase-based strategy known as tandem paired nicking, as well as a common process using Cas9 nucleases, and evaluating the efficiencies of the achieved targeted knock-in. We also leveraged these reporter clones to test a modified procedure for tandem paired nicking and demonstrated a slight increase in the efficiency of targeted knock-in by the new procedure. These data provide evidence for the utility of our PIGP-based assay system to quantify the efficiency of targeted knock-in and thereby help improve the technology of targeted knock-in.
