E-cadherin, a transmembrane protein, is essential for maintaining the integrity and structure of human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) by facilitating strong cell-cell adhesion and communication, which is crucial for their colony formation and pluripotency. Here, we used the CRISPR/Cas9 system to introduce the enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP)-tagged CDH1 into the AAVS1 locus, a safe harbour site, of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs). The engineered cell line, KSCBi002-A-3, expressed functional CDH1-EGFP fusion protein, exhibited normal cell morphology, maintained a normal karyotype, and retained pluripotent state.

We provide a protocol using non-homologous end joining to integrate an oligonucleotide sequence of a fluorescence protein at the CDH1 locus encoding for the epithelial glycoprotein E-cadherin. We describe steps for implementing the CRISPR-Cas9-mediated knock-in procedure by transfecting a cancer cell line with a pool of plasmids. The EGFP-tagged cells are traced by fluorescence-activated cell sorting and validated on DNA and protein levels.
