Sirna duplexes

Manufactured by RiboBio
Sourced in China

SiRNA duplexes are short, double-stranded RNA molecules designed to target and silence specific genes within cells. They function by interfering with the expression of target genes, leading to the degradation of the corresponding mRNA and the subsequent reduction in the production of the encoded proteins.

The MMP7 and MMP9 constructs were generated by sub-cloning polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-amplified full-length human MMP7 or MMP9 cDNA into pcDNA3.1. For depletion of MMP7 and MMP9, siRNA sequences were cloned into GV248 to generate GV248-RNAi(s) targeting MMP7 and MMP9. siRNA duplexes were synthesized and purified by RiboBio Inc (Guangzhou, People’s Republic of China). The siRNA sequences are listed in Table S1. The PCR primers are listed in Table S2. siRNA transfection was carried out using Lipofectamine 2000 reagent (Invitrogen). Retroviral production and infection were performed according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Following selection, lung cancer cell lysates prepared from the pooled cell populations in sampling buffer were fractionated by sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS–PAGE) to detect protein levels via Western blotting.

NCTC1469, a liver cell line established in the 1957 from a neonatal mouse36 (link), was obtained from the FuDan IBS Cell Center (FDCC, Shanghai, China). NCTC1469 cells were cultured in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM) (Corning, USA) supplemented with 10% (v/v) Horse serum (Hyclone, Logan, UT, USA), 100 units/ml penicillin and 100 μg/ml streptomycin (Gibco, USA), at 37 °C in a 5% CO2 incubator. Culture medium was replaced every 2–3 days and cells were passaged when they reached 80% confluence. Cells were mycoplasma negative through treatment with LookOut® Mycoplasma Elimination Kit (Sigma-Aldrich). Gene silencing was achieved by transfecting predesigned siRNA duplexes (Supplementary Table 3) designed and synthesized by RiboBio (Guangzhou, China).

We evaluated the in vitro transfection efficiency of NGF siRNA sequences by measuring NGF mRNA level in Panc-1 cells. Five siRNA duplexes against human NGF and a nsRNA as controls (Supplementary Table 1) were synthesized by Ribobio (Guangzhou, China). For transfection, Panc-1 cells were plated at a density of 3 × 105 cells per well in a six-well plate. When the cells were 50% confluent, siRNA duplex (100 nM for each) was mixed with 5 μl Lipofectamine 2000 Reagent (Invitrogen) and incubated with Panc-1 cells for 48 h according to the manufacturer's protocol. Each treatment was conducted at least in triplicate. The expression levels of NGF mRNA in Panc-1 cells were analysed by quantitative real-time PCR (RT–PCR). The most effective siRNA sequence that result in the greatest knockdown of NGF mRNA was selected for further study (NGF siRNA-#2).

The lentiviruses for PHF2 and CDKN2B-AS1 overexpression and the corresponding control viruses were purchased from VectorBuilder (China). C666-1 and HK1 EBV+ cell lines were infected with recombinant lentivirus plus 5 mg/mL polybrene (VectorBuilder, China) according to the manufacturer’s instructions and were selected using 5 μg/mL puromycin (MP Biomedicals, LLC, USA).
For PHF2 knockdown, siRNA duplexes targeting PHF2 and the negative control siRNA (si-NC) were designed and synthesized by RiboBio (Guangzhou, China). For CDKN2B-AS1 knockdown, the lncRNA smart silencer (a mixture of three siRNAs and three ASOs targeting CDKN2B-AS1) and smart silencer of the negative control (ss-NC) was used (RiboBio, Guangzhou, China). Lipofectamine 3000 (Invitrogen, USA) was used for cell transfection according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The sequences of siRNA and lncRNA smart silencer are shown in Table S5. To validate the effects of overexpression and knockdown of target genes in C666-1 and HK1 EBV+ cell lines, the changes of protein abundance of PHF2 were verified by western blot. For the non-coding RNA CDKN2B-AS1, the expression changes were measured by qPCR.

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.
