Abstract:Abstract: Objective To construct pLKO.1-ZNF703 shRNA plasmid for effectively knockdown ZNF703. Methods The targeting sequences of shRNA were designed on the RNA interference platform (broadinstitute.org) based on the exon region of human and mouse ZNF703 gene sequences in human and mice. The primers of ZNF703 shRNA were designed and synthesized according to the sequences of Age I and EcoR I enzyme cleavage sites in pLKO.1. The primes were then annealed. The pLKO.1 plasmid underwent enzyme digestion and gel purification. T4 DNA ligase was used for ligation, transformation and plate coating, and the positive colonies underwent PCR identification and sequencing analysis. The plasmid successfully constructed was packed with the lenti-virus system and transfected to HCT-116 cell lines. The Q-PCR was used to detect the knockdown efficiency of ZNF703. Results The pLKO.1-ZNF703 shRNA plasmid was successfully constructed, and the ZNF703 shRNA HCT-116 cell lines was constructed with virus packaging system. The RT-PCR results showed that the pLKO.1-ZNF703 shRNA plasmid designed and constructed can be used to effectively knock down ZNF703. Conclusion The pLKO.1-ZNF703 shRNA plasmid that can be used to effectively knock down ZNF703 in human and mouse cell lines has been successfully constructed.
