Abstract
Gene baten funtzioa ezagutzeko, ikertzaileek lehenbizi bere adierazpena isildu ohi dute, ondoren isilarazpenaren ondorio funtzionalak zeintzuk diren aztertuz. Geneen adierazpena isiltzeko moduen artean, CRISPR/Cas9n oinarritutako teknologia berritzaileak abantaila ugari aurkezten ditu, gene jakin bat adierazten ez duten zelulak (zelula knockout edo KO direlakoak) modu azkar eta eraginkor batean sortzea baimentzen baitu. Lan honetan, E2F2 genea eredu moduan hartuta, CRISPR/Cas9 bidez zelula KOak sortzeko protokoloa laborategian martxan jartzea lortu dugu.
To pinpoint the function of a gene, researchers first silence its expression, and then study the functional consequences of the silencing. Among the ways to silence gene expression, techniques based on CRISPR/Cas9 technology show multiple advantages, as they allow the generation of cell lines that do not express a certain gene (namely knockout or KO) in a fast and effective manner. In this work, using E2F2 gene as a proof-of-concept, we have successfully optimized a protocol to generate KO cell lines using CRISPR/Cas9 in a research laboratory.
