Gene-Specific Recombinant Lentiviruses

Product DetailsApplicationCase StudyFAQ

Product Details

Lentiviruses, part of the retroviridae family, are widely used for stable cell line establishment due to high transduction efficiency, low immunogenicity, and durable expression. Unlike gammaretroviruses, lentiviruses infect non-replicating cells, making them powerful tools for gene function studies. Creative Biogene offers a diverse premade lentiviral collection with human, rat, and other organisms' genes, tagged or reporter options. Our ready-to-use lentiviruses efficiently deliver specific target expression to various cell types, including primary and non-dividing cells. For customized projects, utilize our top-notch lentiviral services.

Case Study

Case Study 1

Researchers employed lentiviral vectors to investigate the impact of Glaucocalyxin A (GLA) on gastric cancer (GC). GLA-induced apoptosis in GC cells, involving increased caspase-3 activity and elevated levels of cleaved caspase-3 and cleaved PARP. The downregulation of Murine Double Minute Clone 2 (MDM2) and Ring Finger Protein 6 (RNF6) by GLA was attributed to miR-3658, which GLA upregulated through demethylation and abrogation of EZH2-mediated epigenetic silencing. The study indicates GLA's therapeutic potential for GC through posttranscriptional regulation of oncogenes.

Case Study 2

Ewing sarcomas commonly develop in the pelvic and stylopod bones, such as the femur and humerus, possibly due to the transformation of mesenchymal stem/progenitor cells (MSCs) induced by the EWS-FLI1 oncogene. Researchers utilized lentiviral transduction to investigate the impact of EWS-FLI1 on embryonic superficial zone (eSZ) cells expressing posterior Hox genes in Ewing sarcoma tumorigenesis. They isolated eSZ cells from various bones, revealing that stylopod eSZ cells are more susceptible to EWS-FLI1-induced transformation, consistent with the predominant presentation of Ewing sarcoma in pelvic and stylopod bones. Surprisingly, loss of Hoxd13 had no impact on EWS-FLI1-induced transformation, indicating its dispensability in mouse MSCs. These findings underscore anatomically-defined differences in MSCs contributing to the distinct susceptibility of skeletal sites to Ewing sarcoma.
