[Objective]To construct the lentiviral vector for RNA interference (RNAi) of mouse Kruppel-like factor 4 (KLF4) gene and observe the KLF4 expression in mouse RAW264.7 cells. [Methods] According to the data of GeneBank, specific RNAi target sequences were designed and synthesized and KLF4-shRNA DNA sequence was prepared. The RNAi lentiviral vector pLVX-KLF4- shRNA was constructed and transformed into competent cells. Then the sequences were identified. The correct recombinant lentiviral vector pLVX-KLF4-shRNA 1/2 together with the two lentiviral packing vectors psPAX2 and pMD2.G cotransfected the package ceils 293T by Lipofectamine3000. The recombinant lentivirus Lenti-KLF4 1/2 was harvested to infect RAW264.7 cells from 293T cells. The expression of KLF4 mRNA was determined by real-time PCR. The viral supernatant was collected and concentrated for the detection of viral titer. [Results] The sequencing results indicated that the RNAi lentlviral vector pLVX-KLF4-shRNA was constructed successfully. The green fluorescence from 293T cells was observed via inverted fluorescence microscope. The results of RT- PCR showed that the knockout rates of KLF4 mRNA from RAW264.7 cells were about 60% and 75% (P〈0.05). The titer of mouse recombinant lentivirus of KLF4 ( Lenti-KLF4 2)was 1.65×l0^8 TU/ml after the first concentration. [Conclusion] The construction of RNAi lentiviral vector pLVX-KLF4-shRNA 2 is successful. Therefore, it provides the experimental basis for the following studies invivo and in vitro to explore the mechanism of KLF4.
