BackgroundSerine-arginine protein kinase (SRPK) is a regulator of alternative splicing events via phosphorylation of splicing factor proteins. Oncogenic roles of SRPK1 and SRPK2 have been reported in various types of cancer. To date, only SRPK1/2 specific inhibitors and small interfering RNA (siRNA) have been used for halting their function momentarily; however, there is no attempt to generate SRPK1/2 stable knockout cancer cells as a tool to investigate their roles in tumorigenesis. AimOur objective is therefore to establish a nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cell line with stable SRPK1 or SRPK2 knockout and SRPK1/2 double knockout as a model to investigate their potential roles in NPC. Methods and ResultsCNE1 was selected as a representative of NPC cell lines to create single and double knockout of SRPK1/2 proteins. SRPK1/2 KO plasmid with cas9, green fluorescent protein (GFP), and gRNA expression was cotransfected with SRPK1/2 homology-directed repair (HDR) plasmid containing puromycin resistance, red fluorescent protein (RFP), and 5 and 3 ' arm sequence for homologous recombination to CNE1 cells. The transfected CNE1 cells with GFP and RFP expression were sorted through fluorescence-activated cell sorting for further treatment with puromycin containing medium. This step generated stable single knockout of SRPK1 and SRPK2. The SRPK2 knockout NPC cells were used as a precursor for double knockout generation via transfection with Cre plasmid for excision of inserted material to generate puromycin-sensitive SRPK2 knockout clone. The puromycin-sensitive SRPK2 knockout cells were transfected with SRPK1 KO/HDR plasmid and treated with puromycin-containing medium. The puromycin-resistant cells of SRPK1/2 stable double knockout were expanded, and the corresponding protein expression was confirmed by western immunoblotting analysis. ConclusionSingle and double knockout of SRPK1/2 were established using clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/ CRISPR-associated 9 (Cas9) system in an NPC cell line as a model for investigation of their splicing mechanism in NPC.
