Negative sirna control

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in United States

The Negative siRNA Control is a non-targeting control small interfering RNA (siRNA) designed to have no known mRNA targets in the cell. It is used as a control to determine the specific effects of target gene silencing using RNAi technology.

Gene silencing of HIF-1α and miR-210 was induced overnight (12 h) by adenoviral transfection (100 nM of the appropriate siRNA with 2.5 μg/ml TransFast transfection reagent (Promega, Madison, WI, USA)) HIF-1α siRNA in encoded sequence 5'-CCA CCA CUG AUG AAU UAA AUU TT-3 '(Microsynth, Oligo ID # 2,808,643), and siRNA miR-210 in the coding sequence 5'-UCA GCC GCU GUC ACA CGC ACA GTT-3' (Microsynth, Oligo ID # 2,808,645), and negative siRNA control (Thermofisher, # 4,390,843) on A375 malignant melanoma subconfluent cells. The genetically encoded biosensors Peredox-mCherry, and MitoTracker Red CMXRos were transfected with the appropriate plasmid DNA Peredox-mCherry (pcDNA3.1), and MitoTracker Red CMXRos (tetramethylrhodamine methyl ester and 10-N-nonyl acridine orange) into A375 subconfluent cells. Cells which were treated with negative siRNA control (siR neg cont) were used as control. The cells were used for analysis after 48 h of transfection.

Mouse bone marrow–derived macrophages (BMDMs) were generated as described previously.(22) BMDMs (0.8 million cells/well) were stimulated with 100 ng/mL lipopolysaccharide (LPS; Sigma‐Aldrich, St. Louis, MO), 25 mM ethanol, 1 μM 17‐dimethylaminoethylamino‐17‐demethoxygeldanamycin (17‐DMAG; Invivogen, San Diego, CA), and 0.5 μM PU‐WS13,(23) as indicated. RAW 264.7 cells were transiently transfected with GP96 siRNA (50 nM or 100 nM) or negative siRNA control (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA) using Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) for 48 hours and then stimulated with LPS for the final 6 hours. RNA, culture media, and whole cell lysates were collected for the indicated assays. BMDMs were also collected from LPS‐injected WT and M‐GP96KO mice for cytokine expression analysis using RT‐PCR.

Transient Silencing of AURKA and eIF4E

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were seeded at 60% confluency in 10% FBS‐containing DMEM for 24 h in p60 plates. AURKA and eIF4E were transiently silenced by using siAURKA and sieIF4E (Invitrogen) for a total of 48 h. A negative siRNA control (Ambion, Austin, TX, USA) was used in each experiment. Transfection of cells was achieved by using a LipoJet reagent (SignaGen) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Following 24‐h transfection, medium was replaced with DMEM, supplemented with 5% FBS and antibiotics for another 24 h prior to harvesting. Validation of AURKA and eIF4E knockdown was assessed by qPCR and western blot analyses.

Transfection of Cells with miR-24 Modulators

Transfection of all different cell types was performed using Lipofectamine RNAiMAX (Invitrogen) reagent, mixed with anti-hsa-miR-24, pre-hsa-miR-24 or scrambled controls (Ambion). For each transfection, 120 pmol of anti- or pre-miR (final concentration at transfection was 50 nM) was diluted in 250 μl Opti-MEM (Gibco). Two hours after transfection, cells were treated with IL-6 as described above and harvested 24 h later. RNA was extracted using TRIzol (Invitrogen). Successful transfection (>80% of all cells) was confirmed by visual fluorescent microscopic analysis and FACS, sorting for Cy3-labelled scr-miR control. Some experiments utilized simultaneous transfection with 150 pmol siRNA (final concentration 50 nM) directed against CHI3L1/Chi3l1, with negative siRNA controls (Ambion).

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.
