[Construction of apoptosis-stimulating of p53 protein 2 gene knockout mice and its effect on diethylnitrosamine-induced liver cancer].

To construct apoptosis-stimulating of p53 protein 2 (ASPP2) gene knockout mice using diethylnitrosamine (DEN)-induced liver cancer model to study the biological functions of ASPP2. The sgRNA oligonucleotides were constructed, and ASPP2 knockout mice were prepared with the CRISPR/Cas9 system. PCR and sequencing methods were used to identify the genotypes of F0 and F1 generations and their progeny. DEN was used to induce ASPP2+/- mice to establish liver cancer model. PCR and sequencing results showed that ASPP2 gene was successfully knocked out in F0 generation mice. The genotype of F1 generation mice was accorded with ASPP2+/- and had obtained stable heredity. The success rate of DEN-induced liver cancer model (7/8 and 3 / 8) of ASPP2 + /-mice obtained by self-hybridization of F1 generation was significantly higher than that of wild-type mice. ASPP2 knockout mice were successfully constructed based on the CRISPR/Cas9 system. The success rate of DEN-induced liver cancer model of ASPP2 knockout mice was significantly higher than that of the wild-type mice.
