Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The proteinase K digestion protection assay was per- formed as described in [74 (link)] with some modifications. Briefly, wild-type or the E530A variant of FK- JcR2a RNA was electroporated into Huh7.5 cells. The cells were collected at 48 h pe in PBS, subsequently resuspended in proteinase K buffer (50mM Tris-Cl, pH 8.0, 10 mM CaCl2, 1 mM DTT) and subjected to 5 freeze-thaw cycles. Cell lysates were obtained after centrifugation, divided into three groups: untreated or treated with 50 μg/μl of proteinase K (Roche, Mannheim, Germany) on ice for 1 h, and pretreated with 5% (vol/vol) Triton X-100 before proteinase K treatment on ice for 1 h. proteinase K was then inactivated with 5 mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF) on ice for 10 min and cell lysates were mixed with sample buffer. The amount of core protein was determined by Western blot.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
PX330 or PX330-B/B was used for genome editing of the HAP1 cells. To establish SAFB1 knockout HAP1 cells, the sgRNA (5'-CGAAATTGAAATTACCTCCG-3') was selected from GeCKO v2 libraries [14] and cloned into the BbsI site of PX330 (Addgene). The plasmids (2 µg) and pcDNA6/TR plasmids (0.2 µg) were transfected similarly using a Nucleofector device (Lonza). To enrich the plasmid-transfected cells, the HAP1 cells were treated with 20 µg/ml blasticidin (InvivoGen) for 3 days, starting 1 day after transfection. Subsequently, the cells were diluted into 96-well plates for selection of single clones. The selected clones were lysed by proteinase K treatment (200 µg/ml proteinase K [Roche], 20 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0, 5 mM EDTA, 400 mM NaCl, and 0.3% SDS) at 55°C for 1 hour, followed by proteinase K inactivation at 95°C for 15 min. To detect deletions or insertions, the lysates were subjected to PCR analysis using KOD FX Neo enzyme (TOYOBO) to amplify the genomic regions flanking the guide RNA target sites. To detect small deletions in the SLTM knockout cell lines, a T7 endonuclease I (NEB)
cleavage assay was performed on the amplified PCR products. The indel-positive clones were further confirmed by sequencing. Finally, the absence of protein expression was confirmed by immunoblotting.

In Situ Hybridization and Immunohistochemistry

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
In situ hybridization was carried out as previously described using an anti-sense probe against Ets-related gene (Erg) [41 (link),48 (link)]. For experiments in which in situ hybridization was coupled with immunohistochemistry, changes to the published in situ protocol were made as follows: 1) Embryos were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) for two hours at room temperature or 4° overnight then stored in 1X phosphate buffered solution (PBS); 2) Fixed embryos were rinsed three instead of five times in PBS-T (0.1% Tween-20) prior to Proteinase K treatment; 3) Embryos were incubated in 10 μg/mL Proteinase K (Roche) for 10 minutes; 4) Embryos were rinsed once in PBS-T following Proteinase K treatment and immediately fixed in 4% PFA for 20 minutes; 5) Following color reaction in BM Purple (Roche), embryos were washed three times in 1X PBS and immediately processed for histology and immunostaining.

For real-time reverse transcriptase PCR (rtPCR) analysis, the RNA was isolated from all 149 HNSCC cases. For RNA isolation, 139 FFPE HNSCC specimens were dewaxed and 10 fresh-frozen HNSCC specimens were homogenized in Proteinase K buffer (50 mM Tris and 1 mM EDTA diluted in water). After dewaxing respectively homogenization the samples were digested with 80 μL Proteinase K (Roche Diagnostics GmbH, Unterhaching, Germany), 200 μL Proteinase K buffer plus Tween-20 (Tween 20 25% one part added to fifty parts of Proteinase K buffer) and 32 μL 10% sodiumdodecylsulfate overnight at 55°C. The next day, another 10 μL Proteinase K was added for further incubation overnight. Following digestion, the RNA isolation was continued with the InviTrap Spin Universal RNA Mini Kit (Stratec, Birkenfeld, Germany) according to the manufacturer's protocol. Finally, the RNA concentration of the samples was measured with the NanoDrop 1000 system (PEQLAB, Erlangen, Germany) and the samples were processed immediately or stored at −20°C until further processing. Only RNA probes with an Absorbance260/280 between 1.5 and 2.2 and a minimal RNA concentration of 5 ng/μL were used. The cDNA was then synthesized using Maxima® reverse transcriptase (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, USA) according to the manufacturer's protocol.

RNA Purification from AGO Complexes

Bead complexes were incubated in 100 μl of elution buffer (100 mM NaHCO3, 1% SDS) for 15 minutes at 25°C on a 1,400 rpm shaker. After spinning at 1,000g for 1 minute, the elution buffer was transferred to a new tube. An additional 100 μl of elution buffer was added to the bead complexes, elution was repeated and the eluates were then combined. To improve RNA phase separation of crosslinked RNA-AGO complexes, proteins were digested using proteinase K. 10 μl of proteinase K (Roche, catalog no. 03115887001) in 40 μl of proteinase K buffer (100 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 50 mM NaCl, 10 mM EDTA) was added to the 200 μl of eluate and samples were incubated at 37°C for 20 min. Samples were then subjected to phenol-chloroform extraction to purify the RNA.

TUNEL kits were purchased from Roche company. The paraffin sections were dewaxed by xylene at 60°C twice (each for 5 min), and dehydrated by gradient ethanol, then rinsed by phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) for 3 times (each for 5 min). The proteinase K solution was prepared (98 μL PBS and 2 μL proteinase K (Roche)), and each sample was appended with 100 proteinase K solution at 37°C for 30 min, then blocked for 10 min. After permeabilized by 1 μL 0.1% Triton X 100 and 0.1% sodium citrate solution on ice, the sections were supplemented with TUNEL reaction solution (Roche, PBS was used to replace the reaction solution in the NC group), transfected by peroxidase, and developed by diaminobenzidine (ZSGB-Bio, Beijing, China), and then counterstained by hematoxylin. Next, the sections were dehydrated, permeabilized, sealed, and observed by a light microscope.

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.
