Abstract

Objective To construct the axis inhibition protein 1 (AXIN1) gene-knockout ACT-1 human undifferentiated thyroid cancer single clone cell line. Methods Molecular cloning technology and clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats/Cas9 nuclease (CRISPR/Cas9) were used to construct AXIN1 gene-knockout single clone cell lines. Real-time quantitative PCR and Western blotting were used to detect AXIN1 mRNA and protein levels of ACT-1 cells, respectively. Results T7 detection results showed two effective single guide RNAs (sgRNAs) Cr3 and Cr5 were successfully constructed; enzyme digestion identification and sequencing showed AXIN1-targeted sgRNA viral vectors carrying green fluorescent protein (GFP) were successfully constructed. We successfully obtained 4 monoclonal ACT-1 undifferentiated thyroid cancer cell lines. AXIN1 mRNA and protein levels in the gene-knockout group were significantly reduced. Conclusion The ACT-1 undifferentiated thyroid cancer cell line with AXIN1 gene knockout has been successfully constructed using CRISPR/Cas9.

CRISPR (general)

Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) are DNA sequences in the genome that are recognized and cleaved by CRISPR-associated proteins (Cas). CRISPR-Cas system enables the editing of genes to create or correct mutations. Discover the latest research on CRISPR here.
