Jun N-terminal kinase inhibitor II SP600125 (JNKi) was obtained from Calbiochem, JNK-IN-8 from Selleckchem, recombinant human TRAIL (rhTRAIL) from R&D Systems, and Gemcitabine from Elly Lilly. Products were reconstituted as recommended by the manufacturer.
The following antibodies were used: phospho-c-Jun (Cell Signaling Technologies), CD133-APC (Miltenyi Biotech), SSEA1-FITC (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc.), DR4 antibody-PE Mouse IgG1B, DR5 antibody-FITC Mouse IgG2B and DcR1 antibody-APC Mouse IgG1 (R&D Systems).
Small interfering RNA for SAPK/JNK (#6232) and control (#6568) was obtained from SignalSilence ® (Cell Signaling Technologies).

Allele-Specific Luciferase Assay of rs12291063

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
250bp sequences containing either the major or the minor allele of rs12291063 were cloned into pGL3 Luciferase Reporter Vector driven by an SV40 promoter (Promega, Madison, WI) at the Hindlll site between the promoter and the firefly Luc gene. HEK-293 cells were cultured and transiently transfected with the constructs using FuGENE HD Transfection Reagent (Promega). For luciferase activity assay with hnRNPD depletion, HEK293 cells were transiently co-transfected with HNRNP siRNA or Control siRNA (SignalSilence, Cell Signaling Technology, MA). Dual Luciferase Reporter Assay System (Promega) was used to quantify firefly luciferase activity. Efficiency of siRNA knockdown for hnRNPD was verified by Western blot using pan-hnRNP antibody and GAPDH antibody (Santa Cruz Technology).

Silencing of c-Jun and MAPKs in A549 Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
c-Jun and MAPKs were silenced in A549 cells using 100 nM of siRNA for c-Jun and JNK and, 25 nM for p38 and ERK (SignalSilence®, Cell Signaling Technology) that were transfected with Lipofectamine™ RNAiMAX (Invitrogen) following the manufacturer's recommendations. Controls were carried out using SignalSilence® Control siRNA (SCR). Subsequent to this, cells were exposed or not to the staphylococcal α-toxin followed by Western blot analyses.

ATG7 Knockdown Using siRNA

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
siRNA specific to ATG7 (#6604S) and a control siRNA (#6568S) were obtained from SignalSilence (Cell Signaling Technology, Inc.). We seeded cells on 6-well plate (2×105 cells/well) 16 hrs before siRNA transfection. Transfection was performed using LipofectAMINE 3000 (Invitrogen) according to the manufacturer's instructions. A total of 100 nmol/L of siRNA duplex was used for each transfection.

Silencing of MAPK and CHOP in HepG2 cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HepG2 cells were reverse transfected with SignalSilence® p44/42 MAPK (ERK1/2) siRNA, SignalSilence® Control siRNA (Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA), Silencer® ATF4 siRNA, Silencer® CHOP siRNA, or Silencer® Negative Control #1 siRNA (Life Technologies) using Lipofectamine® RNAiMAX Transfection Reagent (Life Technologies). In brief, HepG2 cells were dissociated, and seeded to each 10 cm dish at a density of 3 × 106 cells/dish in 10 ml medium composed of 8 ml of antibiotic-free growth medium, 2 ml of Opti-MEM (Life Technologies), 20 µl of Lipofectamine RNAiMAX, and 200 pmol of desired siRNA. After 24 h of transfection, cells were changed to normal growth medium and plated into 96-well plates and/or 6 cm plates, as described before. Drug treatment started 48 h post siRNA transfection. The silencing efficiency of the siRNAs was determined by Western blotting.

Autophagy Regulation in Breast Cancer Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
MCF7, T47D, BT-474, and MDA-MB-231 cells were maintained in improved minimal essential media (IMEM) with phenol red and supplemented with 5% fetal bovine serum (Life Technologies). MCF7/LCC1 (LCC1) and MCF7/LCC9 (LCC9) cells were grown in phenol red-free IMEM supplemented with 5% charcoal-stripped calf serum. All cells were maintained in a humidified atmosphere at 37°C and 95% air/5% CO2. ATG7 (SignalSilence; Cell Signaling Technology), BECN1 and STAT1 (three unique siRNAs for each target; OriGene), IRF1 (Silencer Select; consisting of 3 different siRNA for same target; Life Technologies), or control (Ctrl) siRNA were transfected in cells using Lipofectamine RNAiMAX (Life Technologies) according to the manufacturer's instructions. ERα and ATG7 cDNA were from Origene; ICI 182,780 (ICI; Faslodex; Fulvestrant) was from Tocris Bioscience; HCQ, 3-MA, and NAC were from Sigma-Aldrich and the JAK inhibitor 1 (C19H16FN3O) was obtained from EMD Millipore.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
