The agomiR NC, mimic negative control (NC), miR−18a−5p mimic, and miR−18a−5p agomiR were obtained from GenePharma (China). HER2 overexpression vectors and empty vectors were constructed using pcDNA3.1, obtained from GenePharma (China). Lip2000Transfection Reagent (Biosharp, China) was used to transfect the recombinant plasmids listed above into both MDA-MB−231 and MCF−7 cells. Cell transfection was performed for 48 h and assessed by qPCR analysis.

Hypoxia-Induced Breast Cancer Cell Regulation
The small interfering RNA against circ_0001982 (si-circ_0001982) and its negative control (si-NC), the inhibitor of miR-1287-5p (anti-miR-1287-5p) and its negative control (anti-miR-NC), and the small interfering RNA against-MUC19 (si-MUC19) were bought from Ribobio (Guangzhou, China). Lentivirus based short hairpin RNA for circ_0001982 (sh-circ_0001982) and negative control (sh-NC) were constructed by GeneCopoeia (Rockville, MD, USA). These oligonucleotides were transfected into the BC cells using the Lipofectamine 2000 reagent (Invitrogen) according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Culturing Human Breast Cell Lines
MDA-MB-231, MCF-7, T47D cell lines: DMEM with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and 100 U/mL penicillin/streptomycin;
MCF-10A, BT-474 cell lines: RPMI-1640 medium with 10% FBS.
Breast Cell Line Manipulation Protocol
To upregulate or downregulate the expression of PUF60, lentivirus containing PUF60 open reading frame (OE-PUF60) and shRNA targeting human PUF60 gene were purchased from OriGene (Beijing, China). And lentivirus (OE-PTEN) used to upregulate PTEN expression was designed and synthesized by GenePharma (Shanghai, China).

Exploring CDCA5 and PDS5A in Breast Cancer
Short hairpin RNAs (shRNAs) against CDCA5 (shRNA-CDCA5-1, 5′-CCGGCCAAAGTACCATAGCCAGTTTCTCGAGAAACTGGCTATGGTACTTTGGTTTTTG-3′; and shRNA-CDCA5-2, 5′-CCGGGAGCAGTTTGATCTCCTGGTTCTCGAGAACCAGGAGATCAAACTGCTCTTTTTG-3′), scrambled shRNA [transfected with empty vector; shRNA-negative control (NC), 5′-TTCGGGTCATCCGATGGGCC-3′], adenovirus overexpressing PDS5A (pcDNA3.1-PDS5A) and control adenovirus (pcDNA3.1-NC) were constructed by Hanbio Biotechnology Co., Ltd. A total of 0.4 µg shRNA/adenovirus was transfected into 1×105 cells using Lipofectamine® 3000 (Invitrogen; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) and incubated for 10 min at room temperature, according to the manufacturer's instructions. At 48 h post-transfection, the transfected cells were used for subsequent experiments.

Establishing Paclitaxel-Resistant Breast Cancer Cell Lines
PTX was obtained from Sigma (St. Louis, MO, USA) and dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO; Sigma). The PTX-resistant BC cell lines, MCF-7/PTX and MDA-MB-231/PTX, were established by treating parental MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells with increased concentration of PTX.22 (link)
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.
