Based on the online bioinformatics analysis and alignment results, three RNAi sequences target to the Mus musculus Bicc1 gene were obtained. The three interference fragments were synthesized and cloned into pRS-Hush shRNA Vector. The Bicc1 eukaryotic expression vector pEGFP-C3-Bicc1 was constructed, tagging the GFP to the N-terminal of the Bicc1 protein. The pEGFP-C3-Bicc1 and three pRS-Hush-RNAi were co-transfected into the cultured HEK-293 cells line, respectively. The two RNAi (pRS-Hush-RNAi-Bicc1-N/-C) that could knock-down the Bicc1 expression levels in HEK-293 cells significantly were confirmed by cell immunofluorescent staining, semi-quantitative PCR and Western blotting. The results demonstrate that we have successfully obtained two efficent Bicc1 RNAi sequences, which lays a foundation for further studying on the construction of Bicc1 knock-down stable cell lines and biological function of mouse Bicc1 product.
基于在线生物信息学分析和比对结果,获得了三条靶向小家鼠Bicc1基因的RNAi序列。合成了这三个干扰片段并克隆到pRS-Hush shRNA载体中。构建了Bicc1真核表达载体pEGFP-C3-Bicc1,将绿色荧光蛋白(GFP)标记在Bicc1蛋白的N端。分别将pEGFP-C3-Bicc1和三个pRS-Hush-RNAi共转染到培养的HEK-293细胞系中。通过细胞免疫荧光染色、半定量PCR和蛋白质免疫印迹法证实,其中两条RNAi(pRS-Hush-RNAi-Bicc1-N/-C)能显著降低HEK-293细胞中的Bicc1表达水平。结果表明,我们成功获得了两条有效的Bicc1 RNAi序列,为进一步研究构建Bicc1基因敲低稳定细胞系及小鼠Bicc1产物的生物学功能奠定了基础。
