Quantitative real-time PCR was performed on cDNA prepared from empty vector lentivirus- or MMSET shRNA lentivirus-transduced KMS-11 cells. Expression for each gene was normalized to GAPDH expression levels. Control cell gene expression was set at 1 and the level in MMSET shRNA cells is expressed as a ratio relative to controls.

(A) Schematic of gene targeting construct. 5′ and 3′ arms homologous to the introns on either side of MMSET exon 7 flank a drug selection cassette consisting of a promoter-less neomycin resistance gene (Neo) with a splice acceptor (SA), internal ribosome entry site (IRES), and flanking loxP sites (triangles). (B) Homologous targeting replaces exon 7 with the neomycin cassette, which can be screened for using primers 1 and 2 (right panel). A similar PCR screen was performed across the 3′ homology arm (not shown). (C) Expression of Cre recombinase deletes the neomycin cassette, leaving a single loxP site in place of the deleted exon 7. PCR using primers 1 and 3 detects intact MMSET (right panel, upper band) as well as a shorter product from the targeted, Cre’d allele (right panel, lane 2).

RT¬PCR was performed on the indicated KMS-11 clones after Cre-loxP excision of the neomycin targeting cassette using the indicated primers. A smaller product is detected in the T-KO cells, which have fusion transcripts lacking exon 7 (lane 2). Non-T-KO cells have fusion transcripts with an intact exon 7 (lanes 4 and 5), as do random integrant clones (lanes 1 and 3).
