Abstract Background Genetic perturbation screens with single-cell readouts have enabled rich phenotyping of gene function and regulatory networks. These approaches have been challenging in vivo, especially in adult disease models such as cancer, which include mixtures of malignant and microenvironment cells. Glioblastoma (GBM) is a fatal cancer, and methods of systematically interrogating gene function and therapeutic targets in vivo, especially in combination with standard of care treatment such as radiotherapy, are lacking. Results Here, we iteratively develop a multiplex in vivo perturb-seq CRISPRi platform for single-cell genetic screens in cancer and tumor microenvironment cells that leverages intracranial convection enhanced delivery of sgRNA libraries into mouse models of GBM. Our platform enables potent silencing of drivers of in vivo growth and tumor maintenance as well as genes that sensitize GBM to radiotherapy. We find radiotherapy rewires transcriptional responses to genetic perturbations in an in vivo-dependent manner, revealing heterogenous patterns of treatment sensitization or resistance in GBM. Furthermore, we demonstrate targeting of genes that function in the tumor microenvironment, enabling alterations of ligand-receptor interactions between immune and stromal cells following in vivo CRISPRi perturbations that can affect tumor cell phagocytosis. Conclusion In sum, we demonstrate the utility of multiplexed perturb-seq for in vivo single-cell dissection of adult cancer and normal tissue biology across multiple cell types in the context of therapeutic intervention, a platform with potential for broad application. |
