ACE2 Gene Knockout U-937 Cell Strategy
CRISPR-U™ technology (CRISPR based), developed by Ubigene, is more efficient than general
CRISPR/Cas9 technology in double-strand breaking and homologous recombination. With CRISPR-U™, Ubigene has
successfully edited over 3000 genes on more than 100 types of cell lines.
Objective
To create a Human ACE2 Knockout
model in U-937 cell line by
CRISPR-U™-mediated
genome
engineering.
Target gene info 
| Official symbol | ACE2 |
| Gene id | 59272 |
| Organism | Homo sapiens |
| Official full symbol | angiotensin I converting enzyme 2 |
| Gene type | protein-coding |
| Also known as | ACEH |
| Summary | The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the angiotensin-converting enzyme family of dipeptidyl carboxydipeptidases and has considerable homology to human angiotensin 1 converting enzyme. This secreted protein catalyzes the cleavage of angiotensin I into angiotensin 1-9, and angiotensin II into the vasodilator angiotensin 1-7. ACE2 is known to be expressed in various human organs, and its organ- and cell-specific expression suggests that it may play a role in the regulation of cardiovascular and renal function, as well as fertility. In addition, the encoded protein is a functional receptor for the spike glycoprotein of the human coronavirus HCoV-NL63 and the human severe acute respiratory syndrome coronaviruses, SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19). |

Cell line info
| Cell name | U-937 |
| Tissue | Pleura/pleural effusion, lymphocyte, Myeloid |
| Organism | Human |
| Morphology | monocyte |
| Culture properties | suspension |
| Disease | histiocytic lymphoma |
| Derivation | The U-937 cell line was derived by Sundstrom and Nilsson in 1974 from malignant cells obtained from the pleural effusion of a patient with histiocytic lymphoma. |
| Complete growth medium | Complete Growth MediumThe base medium for this cell line is ATCC-formulated RPMI-1640 Medium, Catalog No. 30-2001. To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium: ·fetal bovine serum to a final concentration of 10%This medium is formulated for use with a 5% CO2 in air atmosphere. ATCC tested fetal bovine serum is available as ATCC Catalog No. 30-2020 (500ml) and ATCC Catalog No. 30-2021 (100ml). |
| Subcultivation ratio | Subcultivation Ratio:Cultures can be maintained by the addition of fresh medium or replacement of medium. Alternatively, cultures can be established by centrifugation with subsequent resuspension at 1 to 2 X 105 viable cells/mL.Corning® T-75 flasks (catalog #431464) are recommended for subculturing this product. Interval: Maintain cell density between 1 X 105 and 2 X 106 viable cells/mL. Medium Renewal: Add fresh medium every 3 to 4 days (depending on cell density) |
