PolQi2
Based on 3 publication(s) in Google Scholar
PolQi2 is a PolΘ inhibitor that targets and inhibits alt-EJ (alternative end-joining) repair by inhibiting the helicase domain at the N-terminus of PolΘ. PolQi2 enhances the precision and integration efficiency of gene editing at different loci and in various cell lines. Furthermore, the combined use of PolQi2 with DNA-PK inhibitors reduces the off-target effects of Cas9. PolQi2 can be used in gene editing research.

Genome editing with the HDR-enhancing DNA-PKcs inhibitor AZD7648 causes large-scale genomic alterations. [Abstract]2024 Nov 27. PMID: 39604565
PolQi2 purchased from MedChemExpress. Usage Cited in: Nat Biotechnol. 2024 Nov 27. [Abstract]
Quantification by long-read sequencing of the fraction of total reads with a length greater than a defined size and the quantified frequency of deletions larger than 1 kb in edited RPE-1 p53−/− cells was performed. Editing with combined AZD7648 and PolQi2 (3 µM; 3 d) reduced AZD7648-induced kilobase-scale deletions.

Editing with combined AZD7648 and PolQi2 (3 μM; 3 d) maintained elevated HDR levels. Frequencies of HDR and indels detected by short-read sequencing in RPE-1 p53−/− and RPE-1 p53+/+ cells edited at HBB, CCR5, and GAPDH were recorded.

PolQi2, a potent Polθ inhibitor, suppresses the MMEJ repair pathway and enhances HDR efficiency during CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing. Splenic T cells from transgenic Cas9 mice were activated with Dynabeads and transduced with the specified MOI of AAV after 48 hours in 1 μM AZD7468 and 3 μM PolQi2. Percentage of cells expressing GFP above baseline level was determined by flow cytometry 5 days after transduction.

Knock-in efficiency was assessed by flow cytometry as the percentage of GFP+ cells among CD3- cells. Treatment with AZD7648 and PolQi2 (3 μM) resulted in the highest editing efficiency, achieving a knock-in rate of up to 80% under AAV transduction conditions.

Quantification of Ec78 retron precise editing was performed in comparison with no reverse transcriptase control (No RT), in the absence (Ec78) or the presence (Ec78 + inhib) of inhibitors, AZD7648 and PolQi2 (3 μM; 48 h), and the same experiments were conducted with the Mestre-1531 retron (RT 1531) using the same inhibitors.
