Abstract

To construct a lentiviral vector expressing small-hairpin RNA(shRNA) targeting SPARC gene and investigate its silenced effect on SPARC in human myelodysplastic syndromes(MDS) cell line SKM-1. The targeting sequence of SPARC gene which can be effectively silenced in RNA interference was confirmed in our previous study. The designed and synthesized single-stranded primers were annealed to double-stranded oligo sequences and subcloned into linear pGCSIL-GFP lentiviral plasmid digested by enzyme Age I and EcoR I to produce GC-shSPARC lentiviraL vector. After being identified by PCR and sequencing, plasmids GC-shSPARC with pHelper 1.0 and pHelper 2.0 were cotransfected into 293T cells to package lentiviral particles. The recombinant lentiviral vector was transfected into human SKM-1 cells, transfection efficiency was evaluated with expression of green fluorescent protein(GFP) determined by fluorescent microscope. Expression of SPARC in SKM-1 cells was detected using RT-PCR and Western blotting. A recombinant lentiviral vector, GC-shSPARC, expressing shRNAs targeting SPARC gene was constructed and confirmed by DNA sequencing. The recombinant lentivirus was harvested from 293T cells with a viral titer of 1×10(9); TU/mL. GFP was observ...Continue Reading

CREs: Gene & Cell Therapy

Gene and cell therapy advances have shown promising outcomes for several diseases. The role of cis-regulatory elements (CREs) is crucial in the design of gene therapy vectors. Here is the latest research on CREs in gene and cell therapy.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
