Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To construct a stably knockdown NF-YB gene in HeLa cells using the Lentivirus-mediated RNA interference (RNAi) technique. METHODS: shRNA-NF-YB primers were designed and the H1/GFP-Puro-shRNA-NF-YB plasmids were constructed by molecular cloning. The virus-infected HeLa cells were collected after transfection with 293T. Stably knock down cells were obtained by screening cells with puromycin. Cell lines were identified by Western blot and qPCR. RESULTS: The constructed plasmid was sequenced by the company and was consistent with the designed primer sequence. Western blot and qPCR results show that inhibition of NF-YB protein and mRNA expression was significant. CONCLUSION: In this experiment,NF-YB-shRNA-HeLa cell line was successfully constructed and HeLa cells with specific NF-YB gene silencing knockdown were obtained.
