CRISPR-Cas9 has arisen as a powerful tool for gene editing but has seen little application in insect cells. In this work, a gene editing pipeline for the delivery of a ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex comprised of a guide RNA and the enzyme Cas9 to insect Sf9 cells was implemented and then applied to knockout caspase initiator Sf-Dronc, aiming at alleviating cell apoptosis during an infection process. The resulting engineered cell lines were characterized as per their phenotype and production of three different product modalities. Utilizing the established workflow, a knockout rate of 68% was achieved with the implemented protocol (vs. the 12% presumed efficiency of a previously reported system) when targeting the\n                      <jats:italic>fdl<\/jats:italic>\n                      gene.

Overall, this study showcases the successful implementation of an efficient CRISPR-Cas9 pipeline, further leveraging the usage of genetic engineering in insect Sf9 cells towards the development of enhanced cell hosts for biopharmaceutical production.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Key points<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      \u2022\n                      <jats:italic>Implementation of an efficient CRISPR-Cas9 RNP complex delivery strategy to insect cells.<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      \u2022\n                      <jats:italic>Establishment of the genome editing pipeline demonstrated through Sf-Dronc knockout, resulting in increased apoptosis resistance and delayed loss of viability upon baculovirus infection.<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      \u2022\n                      <jats:italic>Sf-Dronc deletion led to over a twofold increase in the production of influenza VLPs compared to wild-type Sf9 cells.<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00253-026-13722-3","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,26]],"date-time":"2026-01-26T14:46:21Z","timestamp":1769438781000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["An improved CRISPR-Cas9 protein-based method for knocking out insect Sf9 cell genes"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"110","author":[{"given":"Miguel","family":"Gra\u00e7a","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Nikolaus","family":"Virgolini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Ricardo","family":"Correia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Jose","family":"Escandell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Ant\u00f3nio","family":"Rold\u00e3o","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"13722_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41467-018-04252-2","volume":"9","author":"M Adli","year":"2018","unstructured":"Adli M (2018) The CRISPR tool kit for genome editing and beyond.
