Selection of the experimenters.

APRIL

2019.4.1-2019.4.7

Discussed and decided the project plan and prepared for the experiment equipment and reagents.

2019.4.8-2019.4.21

1. Obtained the sequences of E-Cad and N-Cad, designed the LA and RA homologous arms of E-Cad and the upstream and downstream primers. The sequences of tdTomato and eGFP were also obtained by PCR amplification. Completed the construction of the homologous recombinant plasmid pBKS-hE-Cad-tdTomato.

2. Introduced homologous recombinant plasmids into DH5-α competent cells, selected 20 single colonies and identified them.

2019.4.22-2019.4.26

1. Selected PAM sequence, constructed target plasmids.

2. Thawed and cultured WA09, A549, beas-2b, MCF7.

2019.4.26-2019.4.30

Detected the expressing levels of E-Cad & N-Cad in wild type WA09, A549, beas-2b, MCF7.

MAY

2019.5.1-2019.5.13

1. Lipofection: imported pBKS-hE-Cad-tdTomato and target plasmids into WA09, A549, BEAS-2b, MCF7.

2. Fluorescence observation, monoclonal selection, PCR amplification and identification for the target sequence.

3. Verified that the knock-in of tdTomato in A549, BEAS-2b, MCF7 failed.

4. Obtained the knock-in cell line of tdTomato in WA09.

2019.5.14-2019.5.24

The construction of LG-TetO-IN-hSnail1, pPylZ-tTR-KRAB, pPylZ-hTwist1-ERT2.
