Gene regulation using the flap endonuclease 1 guided by mis-hairpin DNA probes

ABSTRACT: Here we characterized a genetic regulatory system named as the hpDNA-assisted structure-guided nuclease mediating interference (HpSGNi) system, which was composed of flap endonuclease 1 (FEN1) and mis-hairpin DNA probe (mis-hpDNA). To investigate gene regulation effective of the HpSGNi system, we co-transformed HEK293A (human embryonic kidney epithelial cells) with plasmids encoding FEN1 with NES and two groups of mis-hpDNAs targeting the EGFP gene and negative control, respectively. RNA-seq was used to examine the regulation effective. We proved the HpSGNi system can knock down specific gene in human cells. At the same time, it indicated that a degree of off-targets occur in HpSGNi-treated cells.
