Red light penetrates deep into mammalian tissues and has low phototoxicity. We developed a red light–activatable photoswitch (MagRed) for deep tissue optogenetics. Using MagRed, we developed a red light–activatable endogenous gene transcription system (Red-CPTS) based on CRISPR–Cas9. Here we provide a detailed protocol for endogenous gene activation using Red-CPTS in cultured mammalian cells and living mice in vivo.

摘要

Red light penetrates deep into mammalian tissues and has low phototoxicity. We developed a red light–activatable photoswitch (MagRed) for deep tissue optogenetics. Using MagRed, we developed a red light–activatable endogenous gene transcription system (Red-CPTS) based on CRISPR–Cas9. Here we provide a detailed protocol for endogenous gene activation using Red-CPTS in cultured mammalian cells and living mice in vivo.
