Construction and identification of ERβ419 gene silencing recombined vectors of beagle ERβisoforms / 中国比较医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To construct and identify retroviral-mediated short hairpin RNA ( shRNA ) expression vectors of ERβ419, and explore ERβ419 unknown biological function in beagles in future.Methods To screen out the most effective gene silencing sequence of beagle ERβ419 mRNA using qRT-PCR and Western Blot assays, imitate beagle estrogen target cells.Results qRT-PCR results showed, ERβ419-shRNA1 ( P <0.01 ) and ERβ419-shRNA3 ( P <0.01)differed significantly, Western Blot result as same as qRT-PCR,ERβ419-shRNA3 is the best choice.Conclusion Beagles ERβ419-shRNA3 retrain most effectively target gene repression. It is applied to explore ERβ419 unknown biological function in beagles reproductive system, and to prevent and treat beagles reproductive function diseases.
