Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The siRNA oligonucleotides were synthesized by Shanghai GenePharma Co. Ltd. (Shanghai, China), and the siRNA sequence of PCAT6 was as follow: siRNA negative control (si-NC) (5′-GCGACCAA CGCCTTGA TTG-3′) and si-PCAT6 (5′-GGTGTCTCCATCCTCATTC-3′). The si-NC was used as negative control. Cells were cultured in six-well plates overnight and then transiently transfected with PCAT6-siRNA using Lipofectamine 2000 kit (Invitrogen, Grand Island, NY, USA). In miRNAs transfection, the cells were transfected with miR-330-5p (100 nM) and negative control miRNA (miR-NC) for 24 hours using Oligofectamine (Invitrogen). For miRNA inhibitor transfection, cells were transfected with negative control miRNA inhibitor or miR-330-5p inhibitor using Lipofectamine 2000 kit (Invitrogen). The specific siRNA against PCAT6 (si-PCAT6) was designed and synthesized by GenePharma Co. Ltd. A negative control siRNA (si-Con) was synchronously synthesized. For the generation of stable cell lines, A549 cells were transfected si-PCAT6 and the transfected cells were selected with 1 µg/mL puromycin. After ~4 weeks, puromycin-resistant A549 cells were established and collected for in vivo experiments.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) specifically targeting DNMT1 (siDNMT1), namely, si1617, si2354 and si3437, respectively, and PSMD10 (siPSMD10), namely, si373, si518 and si765, respectively, were designed and synthesized by GenePharma, Shanghai, China. The synthetic siDNMT1, siPSMD10, or negative control siRNA at a final concentration of 20 nM were introduced into NT2 cells by using Lipofectamine 2000 kit (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) as previously described under Cell Culture and Transfection. Wild-type TP53 expression vector (GFP-p53, Plasmid 12091, GeneBank ID: AAD28628.1), bought from Addgene (Cambridge, MA, USA), produced the GFP-TP53 fusion protein (about 80 kDa). In addition, we re-named GFP-p53 as pEGFP-TP53, which was consistent with its vector backbone pEGFP-N1. The pEGFP-N1 vector, used as negative control, was purchased from Clontech Laboratories, Inc. (Mountain View, CA, US). The siRNAs or vectors were introduced into NT2 cells by Lipofectamine 2000 kit (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Transfected cells were harvested at 24 or 48 hours to test the knock-down efficiency of siDNMT1 and siPSMD10. For downstream examination after transfection of siRNAs (siDNMT1 or siPSMD10) or vectors (pEGFP-TP53 or pEGFP-N1) in NT2 cells, the transfected cells were harvested at 48 hours.

MiR-29-3p mimics, miR-NC, miR-29-3p inhibitor, and inhibitor NC were purchased from GenePharma (Suzhou, China). To construct GIHCG and ANO1 overexpressing vector, the cDNA sequences of GIHCG and ANO1 were amplified with human genome as the template and cloned into pcDNA3.1 expression vector (Geneseed Biotech, Guangzhou), and empty vector pcDNA3.1 was considered as the negative control. Plasmids were transfected into Ec-9706 and TE-10 cells also by Lipofectamine 2000 kit (Invitrogen). Cells were harvested for analyses 48 h after transfections.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The CRNDE and TLR4 sequences that contained specific target sites of miR-181a-5p were connected to psi-Check2 (Promega, USA), and were then amplified through PCR. The reclaimed products were called psi-Check2-CRNDE Wt and psi-Check2-TLR4 Wt. Meanwhile, psi-Check2-CRNDE Mut and psi-Check2-TLR4 Mut were constructed following identical procedures, except that the CRNDE and TLR4 sequences were mutated in their miR-181a-5p targeting sites. In line with the guidance of Lipofectamine TM2000 kit (Invitrogen, USA), miR-181a-5p mimic and miR-NC were, respectively, co-transfected into cells with psi-Check2-CRNDE Wt, psi-Check2-CRNDE Mut, psi-Check2-TLR4 Wt and psi-Check2-TLR4 Mut. Finally, the dual-luciferase reporter assay kit (Promega, USA) was used to determine the luciferase activity of cells.

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.
