To compare the impact of several TP53 mutant variants in an isogenic setting, different TP53 mutations were introduced in HCT116 colorectal carcinoma cells. This parental cell line is wild-type for TP53 and shows a prototypical p53 response. To ensure unambigous genotype-phenotype correlations, the cell were haploidized prior to CRISPR-editing by introducing inactivating deletions of intronic splicing into one of the two TP53 alleles, leaving only one functional copy of TP53. The remaining TP53 allele was altered by inserting a LoxP-flanked transcriptional stop cassette (Lox-Stop-Lox, LSL) into intron 4, which allowed reversible silencing of TP53 expression. The LSL cassette was then specifically targeted with CRISPR/Cas9 to introduce a variety of different mutant p53 alleles. The competency of the mutated p53 allele to induce a p53 response upon activation using Nutlin-3a was then assessed in an RNAseq experiment.
