Lentiviral Packaging

Lentivirus is a unique retrovirus capable of effectively integrating foreign genes into the host chromosome, enabling long-term stable expression. The advantages of lentiviral vectors include broad cell infectivity, sustained stable expression, low immunogenicity, high cargo capacity, and relative safety. These characteristics make lentiviral vectors highly valuable and promising for biomedical research and clinical applications.

Case Study

Genome-Wide CRISPR-Cas9 Knockout and Transcriptional Activation Screening
CRISPR-Cas9 is a powerful genetic screening tool that can be used to gain deep insights into gene functions and regulatory networks, with significant potential for applications in disease-related gene research. To demonstrate how to conduct genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 knockout and transcriptional activation screenings, Joung et al. cloned a custom sgRNA library into lentiviral vectors, packaged the virus particles in HEK293FT cells, and collected them for transducing target cells. This approach enabled large-scale CRISPR-Cas9 knockout and activation screenings, successfully identifying key genes associated with specific phenotypes.

Constructing SENP1-knockdown glioma stem cells (GSCs) using SENP1-shRNA lentivirus
Article Title: SENP1-Mediated deSUMOylation Regulates the Tumor Remodeling of Glioma Stem Cells Under Hypoxic Stress

This study explores the impact of SENP1-mediated deSUMOylation on the malignant behavior of glioma stem cells (GSCs) under hypoxic conditions and its clinical significance. Under hypoxic conditions, HIF1α upregulation activates the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in GSCs, supporting glioblastoma (GBM) growth. SENP1-mediated deSUMOylation stabilizes the expression of HIF1α and β-catenin, promoting tumor formation driven by GSCs. Downregulating SENP1 expression in GSCs using lentivirus-packaged SENP1 shRNA resulted in decreased proliferation and differentiation of GSCs, with a reduction in tumorigenesis.HIF1α-induced activation of Wnt/β-catenin is dependent on SENP1-mediated deSUMOylation, promoting GSC-driven GBM growth. The study suggests that targeting SENP1 may effectively enhance the therapeutic efficacy for GBM.

Article Title: Exploring the role of CBLB in acute myocardial infarction: transcriptomic, microbiomic, and metabolomic analyses

Specific changes in gut microbiota and metabolites are associated with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), and CBLB may play an important role in this process. However, the specific mechanisms of these interactions have not been thoroughly studied, leading to significant gaps in understanding. This study aims to investigate the effects of CBLB intervention on AMI mice through transcriptomic sequencing, 16S rDNA, and untargeted metabolomic analyses. The research team employed a multi-omics integrated strategy, <strong>including the transfection of CBLB lentiviral packaging vectors into 293T cells, followed by intervention in AMI mice, and conducting pathological staining, fecal 16S rDNA sequencing, and serum untargeted metabolomics analysis.</strong> The results showed that CBLB intervention significantly reduced inflammatory cell infiltration and collagen fiber formation in the infarct area of the mouse heart and led to key changes in microbiota, metabolites, and differentially expressed genes (DEGs). This suggests that CBLB may play a significant role in the regulation of AMI. The study confirms the potential of differentially expressed genes, metabolites, and microbiota in AMI regulation after CBLB intervention, providing a basis for future exploration of the therapeutic applications of CBLB.

FAQ

After lentiviral transduction, the cell condition is poor, and there is significant cell death. How can this be addressed?
4.Poor cell condition after lentiviral infection may be caused by various factors. Here are some possible reasons and corresponding solutions: 1.High viral titer: High titers of lentivirus may cause cytotoxicity, preventing normal cell growth. Solution: Lower the viral titer and conduct a series of dilution experiments to find a titer that effectively transduces without adversely affecting cell growth. 2.Poor cell condition: The health status of cells before infection can affect growth after infection. Solution: Ensure cells are in optimal condition for infection, for example, by changing to fresh culture medium 24 hours before infection and ensuring appropriate cell density. 3.Toxicity of gene expression mediated by the virus: The gene carried by the lentiviral vector may be toxic to the cells, affecting their growth. Solution: If possible, use a control vector to determine if the problem is related to gene expression, and select appropriate vectors or genes for research. 4.Excessive antibiotic selection pressure: If antibiotics are used to select transfected cells, excessive concentrations of antibiotics may inhibit cell growth. Solution: Optimize the antibiotic concentration and use gradient experiments to determine the optimal concentration.
Lentivirus is a gene delivery tool that introduces exogenous genes into cells. By using tool cells such as 293T, lentiviral vectors carrying target DNA fragments are packaged into lentiviral particles with cell-infectious activity. This packaging process includes constructing lentiviral vectors, preparing packaging plasmids, culturing tool cells, transfecting plasmids, collecting viral particles, purifying and concentrating viral particles, and titration.
Lentiviruses have high transduction efficiency and the ability to maintain stable gene expression over the long term, making them particularly suitable for cell types that are difficult to transfect. Furthermore, lentiviruses can integrate exogenous genes into the host genome, ensuring prolonged gene expression.
