Constructing a C2C12 cell line that stably expresses Cas9 protein

  • 摘要: 【目的】 优化慢病毒包装体系并建立能稳定表达Cas9蛋白的小鼠成肌细胞系(C2C12),为基因编辑技术研究提供细胞模型和理论参考。【方法】 以C2C12细胞为研究对象,设对照组和试验组,调整三质粒(pmd2.g、pspax2和Cas9)用量配比以优化慢病毒包装体系。利用优化后的慢病毒包装体系将表达Cas9蛋白的质粒(lenti-Cas9-puro和lenti-Cas9-Blast)包装成慢病毒感染C2C12细胞。采用药物筛选富集和单克隆分选获得稳定表达Cas9蛋白的C2C12单克隆细胞株。利用基因组鉴定、免疫荧光染色、sgRNA检测等试验验证细胞株构建情况。【结果】 慢病毒包装体系优化后,试验组质粒转染效率达90%以上,极显著高于对照组(80%)(P<0.01);试验组慢病毒滴度提高至1.8×107 TU/mL,极显著高于对照组(6.2×106 TU/mL)(P<0.001)。PCR结果显示,C2C12-Cas9稳转细胞株成功扩增出Cas9、puro和BSD序列,外源Cas9序列成功整合到C2C12细胞基因组中,而野生型的C2C12细胞不存在Cas9序列。免疫荧光染色结果表明,C2C12-Cas9稳转细胞株能表达Cas9蛋白。T7E1酶切和Sanger测序结果表明,整合的Cas9蛋白具有切割活性。【结论】 通过调整三质粒用量配比成功优化慢病毒包装体系,提高质粒转染效率和慢病毒滴度。成功构建能稳定表达Cas9蛋白的C2C12细胞株,建立了构建稳转细胞株的相对成熟体系。

     

    Abstract: 【Objective】 To optimize the lentiviral packaging system and establish a mouse myoblast cell line(C2C12) that stably expressed Cas9 protein,providing a cellular model and theoretical reference for gene editing technology research. 【Method】 Using C2C12 cells as the research subject,control and experimental groups were set up. The dosage ratio of three plasmids was adjusted to optimize the lentiviral packaging system,and the plasmid expressing Cas9(lentiCas9-puro and lenti-Cas9-Blast)was packaged into lentivirus using the optimized system and infected C2C12 cells. C2C12 monoclonal cell lines with stable Cas9 expression were obtained by drug screening enrichment and monoclonal sorting. Genomic identification,cell immunofluorescence and sgRNA detection were conducted to verify the construction of the cell line. 【Result】 After optimization of the lentiviral packaging system,the plasmid transfection efficiency of the experimental group reached over 90%,which was extremely significantly higher than the control group(80%)(P<0.01);the lentiviral titer of the experimental group increased to 1.8×107 TU/mL,which was extremely significantly higher than the control group(6.2×106 TU/mL)(P<0.001). PCR results showed that the C2C12-Cas9 stable cell line successfully amplified Cas9,puro,and BSD sequences,indicating that the exogenous Cas9 sequence was successfully integrated into the C2C12 cell genome,while wild-type C2C12 cells did not contain the Cas9 sequence. Immunofluorescence staining results indicated that the C2C12-Cas9 stable cell line could express Cas9 protein. T7E1 enzyme digestion and Sanger sequencing results indicated that the integrated Cas9 protein had cutting activity. 【Conclusion】 By adjusting the ratios of the three plasmids,the lentiviral packaging system is successfully optimized,improving plasmid transfection efficiency and lentiviral titer. C2C12 cell line that stably expresses Cas9 protein is successfully constructed,establishing a relatively mature system for constructing stable cell lines.
