Sumario:This protocol describes the use of CRISPR/Cas9-mediated homology-directed recombination to construct a PAX7-GFP reporter in human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs). PAX7 is a key transcription factor and regulator of skeletal muscle stem/progenitor cells. We obtained heterozygous knockin reporter cells and validated their PAX7 expression using both artificial activation by the CRISPR/dCas9-VPR system and physiological activation during hPSC myogenic differentiation. These cells can serve as tools for better understanding of in vitro hPSC myogenesis and enriching myogenic cells for downstream analysis. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Xi et al. (2017) and Xi et al. (2020).
