E2F7 is a transcription factor that participates in various processes such as cell cycle regulation and DNA damage response by mediating transcriptional repression of target genes involved in G1/S regulation as well as in DNA replication and repair. E2F7 behaves as a tumour suppressor by inhibiting DNA repair activity of tumour cells upon chemotherapy treatment. Loss of E2F7 by CRISPR knockout confers increased resistance to chemotherapy in BRCA2-deficient cells. |
| Production Details | E2F7 knockout cells were generated using the CRISPR/Cas9 system. A CRISPR guide RNA (gRNA) targeting the first coding exon of E2F7 was designed using Benchling, and cloned into the BbsI site of pX330 (42230, Addgene). U2OS cells were co-transfected with this plasmid, together with a plasmid containing a gRNA to the zebrafish TIA gene (5 -GGTATGTCGGGAACCTCTCC3 ) and a P2A-puromycin resistance cassette flanked by two TIA target sites. Co-transfection results in excision of the cassette and subsequent sporadic incorporation at the site of the targeted genomic locus. Successful integration of the cassette into the targeted gene disrupts the allele and renders cells resistant to puromycin. After puromycin selection, resistant clones were expanded, screened for cassette integration and indels into the target gene. |
