The invention discloses a construction method and application of an IER2-Flag
gene knock-in mouse model, and the construction method comprises the following steps: determining a
target site of an IER2
gene to be knocked in a mouse, and designing sgRNA with a sequence as shown in SEQ ID No: 2; the method comprises the following steps: carrying out recombination on double-stranded sgRNA formed by annealing and
CRISPR-Cas9
plasmid PX459, and constructing a PX459-sgRNA recombinant
plasmid of which the sequence is as shown in SEQ ID No: 3-4; the method comprises the following steps: by taking a recombinant
plasmid as a template, carrying out PCR (
Polymerase Chain Reaction) amplification on a double-stranded
DNA (
Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid) fragment of a T7
promoter sequence + sgRNA + tracr
RNA, and carrying out in-vitro transcription to obtain single-stranded sgRNA + tracr
RNA, a single-chain sgRNA + tracr
RNA, a Donor sequence containing a 3 *
Flag tag and Cas9
Protein are co-injected into a male
pronucleus of a mouse fertilized egg, an F0-generation IER2-Flag
gene knock-in mouse can be obtained until an F3-generation IER2-Flag gene knock-in mouse is obtained, and the IER2-Flag gene knock-in mouse model is obtained. According to the invention, the expression of the
Flag tag is detected for the first time to further identify that the IER2
protein is continuously and strongly expressed in the enamel
cell, and an important
animal model is provided for the research on revealing a mechanism for regulating and controlling enamel mineralization by the IER2 gene.
