Abstract:
Objective To breed and identify the T lymphocyte-conditional Spi1 knockout mice for the further in-vestgation of the specific role of Spi1-encoded protein PU.1.Methods The Lck-Cre mice were mated with Spi1flox/flox mice to obtain Lck-Cre×Spi1flox/flox mice(T lymphocyte-specific Spi1 knockout mice),and the genotype was determined by polymerase chain reaction(PCR)and agarose gel electrophoresis.Magnetic beads were used to sort out the splenic T lymphocytes,and the knockdown efficiency of PU.1 in T cells was detected by Western blot,quantitative real-time PCR(qPCR)and flow cytometry.Results The Lck-Cre×Spi1flox/flox mouse genotype was stably inherited.Compared with Spi1flox/flox mice,the expression level of PU.1 was significantly reduced in splenic T cells of Lck-Cre×Spi1flox/flox mice.Conclusion In this study,the T lymphocyte-specific Spi1 knockout mice was successfully constructed by applying Cre/LoxP system and CRISPR/Cas9 technology,which provided a reliable an-imal model for the subsequent experiments of the specific role of PU.1 in T cell-related diseases.
