SignalSilence®LRF/Pokemon siRNA I from Cell Signaling Technology (CST) allows the researcher to specifically inhibit LRF (pokemon) expression using RNA interference, a method whereby gene expression can be selectively silenced through the delivery of double stranded RNA molecules into the cell. All SignalSilence®siRNA products from CST are rigorously tested in-house and have been shown to reduce target protein expression by western analysis.
Quality Control
Oligonucleotide synthesis is monitored base by base through trityl analysis to ensure appropriate coupling efficiency. The oligo is subsequently purified by affinity-solid phase extraction. The annealed RNA duplex is further analyzed by mass spectrometry to verify the exact composition of the duplex. Each lot is compared to the previous lot by mass spectrometry to ensure maximum lot-to-lot consistency.

Directions for Use
CST recommends transfection with 100 nM SignalSilence®LRF/Pokemon siRNA I 48 to 72 hours prior to cell lysis. For transfection procedure, follow protocol provided by the transfection reagent manufacturer. Please feel free to contact CST with any questions on use.
Each vial contains the equivalent of 100 transfections, which corresponds to a final siRNA concentration of 100 nM per transfection in a 24-well plate with a total volume of 300 μl per well.
Background
Zinc finger and BTB domain-containing protein 7A (LRF, Pokemon, FBI1) is a transcriptional repressor encoded by theZBTB7Agene that belongs to the POK (POZ andKruppel)/ZBTB (zinc finger and BTB) family (1). LRF is broadly expressed with elevated expression in a variety of cancers relative to normal tissues, including non-small cell lung cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, prostate cancer, and hepatocellular carcinoma (1-8). Research studies suggest that LRF acts as an oncogene through various mechanisms including repression of the tumor suppressors ARF and Rb, and repression of the cell cycle arrest factor p21Cip1 (9-11). The LRF transcription factor plays key roles during several stages of hematopoiesis including promoting lymphoid progenitor cells to commit to B cell differentiation by repressing T cell-promoting Notch signals, and promoting cell survival during terminal erythroid differentiation through suppression of the proapoptotic factor Bim (12,13).
