Abstract:

TOE1 (target of Egr1) is a newly discovered isoenzyme of DEDD superfamily deadenylase Caf1. Construction of its knockdown and overexpression stable cell lines, and analysis of its cellular localization can provide a basis for further research on the function of TOE1 gene. Firstly, the shRNA sequence targeting the silencing of TOE1 gene was inserted into the lentiviral vector pLVX-shRNA2-Puro to construct the lentiviral vector pLVX-shTOE1 that knocks down TOE1 gene. Then, the TOE1 gene sequence was amplified by PCR and cloned into the lentiviral vector pCDH-CMV-MCS-EF1-Puro to construct the lentiviral vector pCDH-TOE1 with overexpression of TOE1 gene. Meanwhile, the eukaryotic expression vector pEGFP-TOE1 was constructed by the same method and transfected into human gastric cancer cell SGC-7901, and the subcellular localization of TOE1 was observed by confocal microscopy. After lentivirus packaging, SGC-7901 cells were infected with pLVX-shTOE1 and pCDH-TOE1 lentivirus, and then SGC-7901-shTOE1 cell line stably silenced TOE1 gene and SGC-7901-oeTOE1 cell line stably overexpressed TOE1 gene were selected by puromycin. Next, the knockdown and overexpression efficiencies of TOE1 at mRNA and protein levels were verified by RT-qPCR and Western blot, respectively. The identification results showed that the expression of TOE1 in SGC-7901-shTOE1 cells was significantly decreased, and the expression of TOE1 in SGC-7901-oeTOE1 cells was obviously increased, suggesting that TOE1-silenced and TOE1-overexpressed SGC-7901 stable gastric cancer cell lines were successfully constructed. Also, the confocal results showed that TOE1 was localized in the nucleus. The results laied a foundation for further exploring the function and mechanism of TOE1 in gastric cancer.
