siRNAs were incubated with Lipofectamine 2000 and serum-free Optimem for 15 minutes at room temperature. Cells were then trypsinized and resuspended in 1 ml of medium and plated directly into the siRNA/Optimem/Lipofectamine solution at 50% confluence and incubated for 48 hours. Sequences of siRNA oligonucleotides used here are as follows: Control non-targeting siRNA, 5′-UAGCGACUAAACACAUCAA-3′ (Dharmacon); HORMAD1 siRNA #1, 5′-GGA CAA AGA UGU AGA AGA U-3′, HORMAD1 siRNA #2, Dharmacon siGenome smart pool cat# M-018596-02; BRCA1, Dharmacon siGenome smart pool cat# M-003461-02; BRCH1, Dharmacon siGenome smart pool cat# M-010587-00; Lig4, Dharmacon siGenome smart pool cat# M-004254-00.

Egr2 interfering RNAs (siRNAs) (siGenome smart pool, cat# M-040303-01), and CEBPβ siRNA (siGenome smart pool, Cat # M-043110-02), and CEBPα siRNA [(siGenome smart pool, Cat # M-040561-01) and control siRNA (siGenome non-targeting control pool), cat# D-0011206-13-05] were purchased from Dharmacon (Lafayette, CO, USA) and used similarly as described earlier in our studies (36 (link)). BMDMs were transfected with siRNAs using TransIT-X2 System as a transfecting agent (Madison, WI, USA) according to the manufacturer's instructions. The efficiency of transfection was 80–90% as determined by the expression of a fluorescent reporter (Cy3-labeled RNA) in F4/80-positive cells as determined by flow cytometry.

LX-2 cells were transfected with specific small-interference RNA (siRNA) to knockdown the expression of total p63 (siGENOME SMARTPool, L-003330-00-0005, Dharmacon), ACC1 (siGENOME SMARTPool, L-004551-00-0005, Dharmacon) or HER2 (siGENOME SMARTPool, L-003126-00-0005, Dharmacon). Control group was administered with a non-targeting siRNA (siGENOME Non-Targeting siRNA Pool, D-001206-13-05, Dhamacon). The transfection was performed using Lipofectamine 2000 (11668-019, Invitrogen). Briefly, cells were seeded in 6-wells plates. Then, 0.05 nmol of each siRNA diluted in 300μL of optiMEM (31985070, Life Technologies) was mixed with 6 μL of Lipofectamine 2000 diluted in 294 μL of optiMEM; the mixture was added into each well, resulting in a final volume of 600 μL. The medium was replaced with fresh medium after 6 h, and cells were collected after a total of 48 h to check the efficiency of silencing by Real Time PCR.

CDK12as cells (1000 cells/well) were reverse transfected in a 96 well plate format with a custom siGENOME SMARTPool (Dharmacon) siRNA library as described previously72 (link) using Lipofectamine RNAimax Transfection Reagent (Promega). Positive (siPLK1) and negative controls (siCON1, Dharmacon) were also included in each plate. After 24 hours, media was replaced with new media drug containing 1NM (0.3 μM) or the drug vehicle (DMSO), and cells were continuously cultured for six days further, at which point cell viability was estimated by the addition of CellTiter-glo reagent to the media for 10 minutes. Drug Effect Z scores were calculated from the resultant luminescence data as described previously73 (link). Each screen was carried out in triplicate, with the data being combined in the final analysis. For single gene siRNA experiments, C4-2B cells were plated in 96-well plates and allowed to adhere overnight. The next day, cells were transfected using siGENOME SMARTPool (Dharmacon) against the indicated genes (CCNK, CDK13) or nontargeting control (NTC) as above. The plate was then placed in an IncuCyte S3 (Sartorius) and cell growth monitored over the indicated time frame.

siRNAs targeting SFPQ (siGENOME SMARTpool, [M-006455-02]) and PSPC1 (siGENOME SMARTpool, [M-020596-01]) were purchased from GE Healthcare Dharmacon Inc. siRNAs targeting NEAT1 (Silencer Select Human NEAT1 siRNA, [4390771]; Ambion) and negative control (Silencer Select Negative Control No. 1 siRNA, [4390844]; Ambion) were also used. siRNA transfections of HeLaGFP-NONO in the RNAi treatments were performed with Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen), according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Briefly, for a 12-well format (100,000 cells were seeded per well), 2 μl of Lipofectamine 2000 was diluted in 100 μl of optiMEM medium (Gibco). About 40 pmol of each siRNA was then diluted in 100 μl of optiMEM medium and incubated at RT for 5 min. The diluted Lipofectamine 2000 and diluted siRNA were then mixed and incubated at RT for 30 min. siRNA-Lipofectamine complexes were then directly added to seeded cells, mixed gently, and incubated at 37 °C for approximately 4 h; siRNA-Lipofectamine complexes were then removed and replaced with fresh HeLa media.

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.
