Delivery remains a significant challenge for robust implementation of CRISPR/Cas9. We report an efficient CRISPR/Cas9 delivery system comprising PEGylated nanoparticles based on the α-helical polypeptide PPABLG. Assisted by the high membrane-penetrating ability of the polypeptide, P-HNPs achieved efficient cellular internalization and endosomal escape. The CRISPR/Cas9 delivery system could reach 47.3% gene editing in cells, 35% gene deletion in vivo, and HeLa tumor growth suppression >71%, demonstrating an advantage over the existing conventional polycationic transfection reagents. Efficient also in knock-in and gene activation, the reported CRISPR/Cas9 delivery system serves to advance gene editing in vitro and in vivo. Effective and safe delivery of the CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing elements remains a challenge. Here we report the development of PEGylated nanoparticles (named P-HNPs) based on the cationic α-helical polypeptide poly(γ-4-((2-(piperidin-1-yl)ethyl)aminomethyl)benzyl-l-glutamate) for the delivery of Cas9 expression plasmid and sgRNA to various cell types and gene-editing scenarios. The cell-penetrating α-helical polypeptide enhanced cellular uptake and promoted escape of pCas9 and/or sgRNA from the endosome and transport into the nucleus. The colloidally stable P-HNPs achieved a Cas9 transfection efficiency up to 60% and sgRNA uptake efficiency of 67.4%, representing an improvement over existing polycation-based gene delivery systems. After performing single or multiplex gene editing with an efficiency up to 47.3% in vitro, we demonstrated that P-HNPs delivering Cas9 plasmid/sgRNA targeting the polo-like kinase 1 (Plk1) gene achieved 35% gene deletion in HeLa tumor tissue to reduce the Plk1 protein level by 66.7%, thereby suppressing the tumor growth by >71% and prolonging the animal survival rate to 60% within 60 days. Capable of delivering Cas9 plasmids to various cell types to achieve multiplex gene knock-out, gene knock-in, and gene activation in vitro and in vivo, the P-HNP system offers a versatile gene-editing platform for biological research and therapeutic applications.
