Overview

CRISPR knockout cell lines are engineered through targeted genome editing to eliminate gene function, supporting studies of cellular biology, disease mechanisms, and drug discovery.

ZIC2 (Zic family zinc finger 2) encodes a C2H2-type zinc finger transcriptional repressor involved in regulation of gene expression. ZIC2 can regulate tissue-specific transcriptional programs, including expression associated with dopamine receptor D1. Its transcriptional regulatory activity is particularly relevant to developmental biology and neural development, where altered ZIC2 function can affect formation of the developing nervous system.

Adult hepatocellular carcinoma is represented by SNU-398, a human liver cancer cell line established from the liver of a 42-year-old male of Korean population. The cells contain integrated hepatitis B virus sequences and harbor documented CTNNB1 and TP53 mutations. SNU-398 is classified as an adult hepatocellular carcinoma cell line and has been extensively characterized by genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, and drug-screening analyses.

Comprehensive quality control includes STR authentication, sterility testing (bacteria and fungi), and mycoplasma screening to ensure purity and performance. Genotype is confirmed by two rounds of PCR and Sanger sequencing, and complete validation reports are provided for make-to-order products.

KO Cell Construction Strategy

Adopting Red Cotton CRISPR Gene Editing Designer (www.rc-crispr.com), two sgRNAs targeting the ZIC2 gene are designed to generate a knockout strategy. The two sgRNA sequences are subsequently cloned into the EZ-editor™ vector and introduced into SNU-398 cells via electroporation or lentiviral transduction. Single-cell clones are then generated using the limiting dilution method. Genomic DNA from individual clones is subjected to nucleic acid lysis and PCR amplification using the EZ-editor™ Monoclone Genotype Validation Kit (Cat# YK-MV-1000). The edited loci are further verified by Sanger sequencing to confirm the genotype. After secondary validation and quality confirmation, ZIC2 Knockout cell line (SNU-398) is expanded and cryopreserved for downstream applications.

Product Overview

ZIC2 Knockout cell line (SNU-398)

The ZIC2 Knockout cell line (SNU-398) is generated by targeted disruption of the ZIC2 gene in SNU-398 cells. This cell line is designed to investigate the role of ZIC2 in cellular function and gene regulation, as well as its potential involvement in disease-related pathways.

Quality Control

All KO cell products are tested and confirmed to be free of bacterial, viral, mycoplasma contamination, and other adventitious agents.

Applications

For research use only. Not intended for use in diagnostic, therapeutic, clinical, or other applications.

Key Advantages

Easy to use

Cas9 cell lines in our cell bank can stably express Cas9 protein. Each Cas9 Stable Cell Line is easy to use and enables gene knockout simply by transfecting gRNA, while transfection of gRNA and donor DNA results in gene knock-in or point mutations

High-efficient KO

These Cas9 stable cell lines have been used to construct the KO cell lines for various genes, gene KO efficiency 5-10 times improved.

Curated cells

Selected cells, low passages, good cell condition, high activity, applicable for all kinds of gene-editing experiments.
