Inhibition of GFP expression in hepatocellular carcinoma cells by shRNA
Objective:To construct the plasmid containing short hairpin RNA(shRNA) of green fluorescent protein(GFP) to suppress the expression of GFP.Methods:A 20bp reverse repeated motif of GFP target sequence with 4bp spacer were synthesized
and inserted into pTZU6+1 to generate the pshRNA—GFP plasmid;pshRNA—GFP and pEGFP-C1 or pTZU6+1 and pEGFP-C1 were cotransfected into mammalian cells to detect effect of GFP expression separately.Results:pshRNA—GFP suppressed the GFP expression by 70%~85% in mammalian cells.Conclusion:The result shows that the short hairpin RNA of GFP can efficiently suppress its expression in HepG2 and SMMC-7721.
