Targeting circCCDC66 in cancer cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
SiRNAs targeting circCCDC66 were synthesized by GenePharma (Shanghai, China). MiRNA mimics, inhibitor, mimics NC, inhibitor NC, and SiRNAs were provided by GenePharma. pcDNA3.1 circRNA mini construction comprising circCCDC66 was a highly expressed cassette, and pcDNA3.1 including FOXM1 indicated over-expressed plasmid. The above-mentioned plasmids were separately transfected into indicated cells by Lipofectamine 3000 (Invitrogen) as manual instructions. The sequence was as follows: si-circCCDC66, CAAUUAGAGCAUCAGGAAA; si-NC, UUCUCCGAACGUGUCACGUTT.

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.
