Restrictase free generation of targeting vectors for disruption of complex mouse genes.

Abstract:

:Molecular cloning of targeting vectors (TgVs) is a prerequisite procedure for gene disruption in embryonic stem cells. In cases where target genes display complex features (e.g., gene overlap, alternative exon usage), TgVs must mediate deletions with very high precision to prevent unwanted effects. This is often difficult to achieve by procedures using restriction endonucleases and DNA ligases. Therefore, to prepare TgVs for inactivation of two complex genes of immunological interest: PTPRF and NWC, we employed an alternative method, which involves engineering bacterial artificial chromosomes (BACs) by inducible, plasmid encoded "Red/ET recombinase" expression system. Here, we report rapid and efficient construction of PTPRF and NWC TgVs without using restriction endonucleases.

  • LncRNA PCAT6 promotes tumor progression in osteosarcoma via activation of TGF-β pathway by sponging miR-185-5p.

    abstract::Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play crucial roles in tumor development of osteosarcoma (OS). LncRNA PCAT6 was involved in the progression of multiple human cancers. However, the biological function of PCAT6 in OS remains largely unknown. We found that PCAT6 was elevated in OS tissues relative to that in their adjacent ...
