Breast cancer has been represented a challenging issue worldwide as it is one of the major leading causes of death among women. CD81 gene, a member of the tetraspanin protein family, has been associated with the development of human cancers. Genome editing technologies, particularly the CRISPR-Cas9 system, have shown rapid progress in gene function studies. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the ability of the CRISPR-Cas9 plasmid-based system to modify specific regions of the CD81 gene in the MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell line.
