Abstract
Objective·To investigate the effect of Piezo1 on osteogenic differentiation of mouse mesenchymal stem cells C3H10T1/2 cell line based on CRISPR/Cas9 system that can achieve stable gene knockout.Methods·According to the principle of CRISPR/Cas9 target design principle, two single guide RNAs (sgRNAs) were designed to construct lentivirus expressing Cas9 and lentivirus expressing sgRNA by using Lenti-Cas9-GFP and Lenti-U6-sgRNA-mCherry vectors. After the C3H101/2 cells were transfected with two types of lentiviruses, flow cytometry was used to screen mCherry- and GFP-positive cells. The monoclonal cells were selected, and amplified by PCR and agarose gel electrophoresis, and finally the monoclonal cell line with Piezo1 gene fragment knocked out was obtained. Sequencing, quantitative realtime PCR (qPCR) and immunofluorescence were performed to verify the the knockout efficiency of the constructed Piezol knockout C3H10T1/2 cells (CPK). CCK-8 assay was used to detect the effect of knocking out Piezo1 on cell proliferation; in vitro osteogenic induction differentiation was performed on successfully constructed Piezo1 gene knockout cells, and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining and alizarin red staining were used to investigate the effect of Piezo1 on osteogenic ability.Results·Positive clone was obtained in bacterial fluid of monoclonal cell lines with Piezol knocked out after PCR amplification and agarose gel electrophoresis. Sequencing analysis showed that a stop condon TGA was produced in exon 4 of Piezo1 gene in advance, so that the protein could not be translated correctly. qPCR verified that Piezo1 gene in CPK was inhibited at mRNA level; Immunofluorescence showed that the knockout efficiency of Piezo1 gene in CPK was high, which basically hindered the expression of Piezo1 in cells. CCK-8 assay showed that the cell proliferation ability decreased after knocking out Piezo1 (P
