SiRNAs (small interfering RNAs) are a class of double-stranded RNA molecules that play a key role in the RNA interference (RNAi) pathway. They function by targeting and silencing specific messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules, thereby preventing the expression of the corresponding genes.

Breast Cancer Cell siRNA Transfection

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
SiRNA transfection was performed as previously described [39 (link)]. Briefly, the indicated breast cancer cells were randomly seeded in 60 mm dishes for 24 h. RPMI opti-MEM, lipofectamine RNAiMax (Invitrogen) reagent and siRNAs(Santa Cruz, CA) targeting human USP14/UCHL5/AR or siRNAs(Santa Cruz, CA) with non-specific sequences mixtures were prepared respectively, then the mixtures was added in each group and cultured for 72 h. Fresh medium was replaced appropriately after transfection for 6 h.

Engineered KITENIN constructs for study

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Expression constructs were generated by PCR‐based methods: V5‐tagged, Myc‐tagged, HA‐tagged KITENIN, GST‐tagged deletion mutants of KITENIN, Δ463–471‐KITENIN, and His‐tagged KITENIN. All constructs were confirmed by sequencing. pEGFP‐N1‐RACK1 was a gift from Anna Huttenlocher (Addgene plasmid #41088). All siRNAs used for gene silencing were obtained from Santa Cruz Biotechnology. Each consisted of a mixture of several sequences, thus eliminating sequence‐specific diversity.

Silencing of MFN2 and Parkin in BMDMs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Silencing of MFN2 and Parkin was achieved using small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) (200 nM) for mouse MFN2 mRNA target sequences (Santa Cruz Biotechnology), mouse Parkin mRNA target sequences (Santa Cruz Biotechnology), and negative control siRNAs (Bioneer, Daejeon, Korea). The siRNA oligonucleotides were transfected into cultured BMDMs using Lipofectamine 3000 (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Targeted Gene Silencing in A549 Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A549 cells were plated in 60-mm dishes at ∼70-80% confluence and transfected with siRNAs (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA) using Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen, Grand Island, NY) as described [40 (link)]. The siRNAs are pools of at least three different siRNA oligoes that are specific to the target. Negative control siRNA (siNeg, Santa Cruz Biotechnology) was used as a negative control. Two days after transfection, cells were lysed for Western blot analysis.

Efficient siRNA Transfection in Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) were purchased from Santa Cruz Biotechnology (Santa Cruz, CA, USA). The nonsilencing control siRNA was used as a negative control. Scrambled siRNA-treated cells were also used as controls. The transfection of siRNA was performed in Opti-MEM I Reduced-Serum Medium using Lipofectamine RNAiMAX (Invitrogen) [24 (link)]. We confirmed the expression of a target gene by Western-blot. There are differences in the suppression ratio (namely reflecting the transfection efficiency) according to target genes. In siRNA of eNOS, the suppression ratio was approximately 99%. In siRNA of p22phox, it was 96.5%. There is a report that the transfection reagent (RNAiMAX), which we used in the present study, shows the high transfection efficiency in smooth muscle cell as adherent cell, too [25 (link)].

siRNAs (Santa Cruz, sc-93538) were used to silence rogdi according to the protocol provided by the manufacturer. siRNA (7.5 μl) and 250-μl Opti-MEM (Gibco, 11058021) were mixed. Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen, 11668-019) (7.5 μl) was added to the other Opti-MEM (250 μl) mixture and mixed for 5 min. The diluted siRNA and Lipofectamine were mixed for 20 min. The reagents were added into 6-well plates in which cells had been seeded (5 × 105 cells/well) for 16 h. Control cells were treated with Stealth RNAi Negative Control Duplex (Invitrogen, 12935300).

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.
