Mutations in Hypoxanthine-guanine Phosphoribosyltransferase1 (HPRT1) gene can lead to metabolic disorder of hypoxanthine and guanine metabolism, and other severe symptoms such as hypophrenia, gout, and kidney stones, called the Lesch-Nyhan disease (LND). Although the mutations are widely distributed throughout the HPRT1 gene, there are some isolated hot spots. In this study, we aim to introduce two previously reported hot spots, c.508 C>T and c.151 C>T, which could lead to premature translational termination in HPRT1 gene. Through CRISPR/Cas9 mediated homology-directed repair (HDR) by using single-stranded oligo-deoxyribonucleotides (ssODN) as donor template, we obtained cell clones containing these two mutations in HEK293T or HeLa cells. Targeted mutation of c.508 C>T and c.151 C>T reached to 16.3% and 10%, respectively. We further detect HPRT1 protein levels with Western blot and enzyme activity with 6-TG in 5 different cell clones. HPRT1 protein and its enzymatic activity both was hardly detected in homozygous mutant cells, while reduced HPRT1 protein expression and enzymatic activity was detected in heterozygous mutant cells. Our study will be beneficial to those who working on generation of cell or animal models of HRPT1 mutations, and provides a basis for further investigations on the genetic mechanism of Lesch-Nyhan disease.
