Abstract

Because of the special complexity of tumor treatment, it has been a hot topic in medical research for a long time. Although CRISPR system assisted immunotherapy has been shown to be a good option, it still lacks the defect of targeting. The discovery of biological orthogonal reaction provides a new method for attenuating and enhancing the efficacy of tumor immunotherapy. In this paper, biological orthogonal reaction is introduced, and the application of biological orthogonal technology and gene editing technology in tumor therapy is studied. The study confirmed that biological orthogonal response can be used as an assistant to enhance the efficacy of gene editing technology mediated tumor targeted therapy and reduce the side effects, which provides a new idea and method for tumor therapy. Because of its high stability as well as extremely fast reaction rate, the newly discovered pentavariant diheterocyclic monosubstituted tetrazine can be considered in combination with gene editing technology for protein anchoring, controllable activation of T cell epitopes, construction of modular platforms or participation in the regulation of base editors in the future to achieve the purpose of tumor treatment.
