Abstract: To construct a lentiviral vector expressing shRNA for RNA interference of sheep inhibin alpha subunit(INHA) gene and assess its gene silencing effect in 293T cell by cotransfected with an efficiently expressional INHA vector constructed simultaneously.Make preparation for producing high quality and high fecundity transgenic sheep.Design and synthesis 4 shRNA expressing sequences(shRNA1,shRNA2,shRNA3,shRNA4)and 2 control sequences(NC1,NC2)for sheep INHA gene,and then attach them to a blank plasmid vector: pGFP-v-RS,thus 4 shRNA expressing vector(that is shRNA interfering vector) pGFP-V-RS-shRNAs and 2 negative control vector pGFP-V-RS-NCs were generated;At the same time,construct an efficiently expressional vector of sheep INHA pIRES2-eGFP-INHA,then cotransfect 4 shRNA interfering vectors and 2 negative control vectors with efficiently expressional INHA vectors into 293T cell respectively and instantaneously,assess the interference effect of 4 shRNA interfering vectors contrasting with/in comparison to the 2 negative control vectors by qPCR,choose the shRNA interfering vector with the best interference effect,and construct it into corresponding lentiviral vector.The qPCR results indicate that the shRNA interference vector pGFP-V-RS-shRNA3 has the best interference effect,and the lentiviral vector constructed by it has been proved to be successfully constructed by sequencing results.Lentiviral interference vector for sheep INHA shRNA has been constructed successfully,and make the preparation for furtherly producing high quality and high fecundity transgenic sheep.
