Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We developed thirty-one kinds of IL-21 artificial transcription factor based on Crispr-Cas9 system. Fifteen kinds of IL-21 artificial transcription factor enhanced IL-21 promoter activities in reporter assay. Then we asked whether IL-21 artificial transcription factor induces mRNA expression. Unfortunately, each IL-21 artificial transcription factor failed to induce IL-21 mRNA. So, we examined wether the mixture of IL-21 artificial transcription factor transcribes IL-21 mRNA, IL-21 expression strongly induced in 3T3 cells (even in undetectable level by qRT-PCR). The present study may lead to a novel therapeutic method against allergic disorders.
