KLF4 Silencing in Muse Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Three kinds of Klf4 siRNA (Ambion, Thermo Fisher Scientific, ID: S17793, S17794, and S17795) were mixed up, and naive Muse cells were sorted and transfected with 25 pmol Klf4 siRNA or 25 pmol scrambled siRNA (Ambion) by Lipofectamine RNAiMAX (Invitrogen, 13778–150) in 6-well plates for 48 h following the manufacturer’s instructions. Total RNA was extracted, and gene expression was analyzed by qPCR as described above.

Keap1 3'-UTR Regulation by miR-200a

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
pGL3-ARE and pcDNA3-HA-Nrf2 were generous gifts from Professor Xiaoming Yang. The 3′-UTR of Keap1 was amplified using the following primers: 5′-TCATACTAGTGGCACTTTTGTTTCTTGGGC-3′ and 5′-GCATTAAGCTTCAGGGTGAAAGACACTAG-3′ and cloned into pMiR-Report vector (Ambion) digested with HindIII and Spe I. We also generated three bases mutation in the predicated target site for miR-200a by using a QuickChange site-specific mutagenesis kit (Stratagene). All constructs were sequenced in Sangon Company. Transfection of plasmids was performed in 70%–80% confluent cells using Lipofectamine 2000 Reagent (Invitrogen) according to manufacturer's protocol.
MSA was purchased from Sigma–Aldrich (Sigma–Aldrich Inc.). Pre-miR miR-200a precursor and Pre-miR negative control were purchased from Ambion. Antagomir-200a was synthesized from Ribobio. KLF4 siRNA and scramble control were purchased from OriGene (OriGene Technologies). Transfections of Pre-miR miR-200a precursor, Pre-miR negative control, KLF4 siRNA and scramble control were performed by using siPORT NeoFX Transfection Agent (Life Technologies) according to manufacturer's protocol.

Silencing Transcription Factors in Keratinocytes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
FOXC1 siRNA duplexes, ZNF750 siRNA duplexes, KLF4 siRNA and control non-targeting scrambled siRNA duplexes were purchased from Life Technologies. The sequence for KLF4 siRNA are: sense: UGACCAGGCACUACCGUAAtt; antisense: UUACGGUAGUGCCUGGUCAtt. The sequence for ZNF750 siRNA are: sense: CCUCAAUGUUGUGAACGGAtt; antisense: UCCGUUCACAACAUUGAGGct. The sequence for FOXC1 siRNA are: sense 1: GAAAGUCGCUUUCUUUUUAtt; antisense: UAAAAAGAAAGCGACUUUCat. Sense 2: ACUCUCCAGUGAACGGGAAtt, antisense: UUCCCGUUCACUGGAGAGUtg; Sense 3: AGAGGAUCGGCUUGAACAAtt; anti-sense: UUGUUCAAGCCGAUCCUCUgt. KCs were plated in 24 well plates at 1x105 per well the day before transfection. Cells were transfected with siRNA duplexes at final concentration of 10 nM using lipofectamine 2000 according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA). After 24 hours incubation, the cells were replaced with EpiLife supplemented either with 0.06mM or 1.3 mM calcium for up to 120 hours. Then the cells were used for total RNA and protein extraction.

Embryo Manipulation via siRNA Knockdown

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
5IU of PMSG (Prospec Cat# HOR-272) and HCG (Sigma-Aldrich, Cat # CG5–1VL) were injected intraperitoneally into 4–5 week old, wild-type C57BL/6J female or or C57BL/6J C3H/HeJ F1 mice 46–48h apart. Immediately following HCG injection, females were paired with C57BL/6J stud males and pronuclear stage embryos together with cumulus cell clusters were harvested from plugged females 20h after the mating. Pronuclear stage embryos were dissociated from cumulus cells using Hylorondase (Fisher, Cat # MR-0510F). Embryos were then incubated at 37C with 5% CO2 while siRNAs were prepared for injection. Before injection, scrambled siRNA (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Cat# AM4611) and Klf5 siRNAs (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Cat# 160900) and Klf4 siRNAs (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Cat# 156021) were prepared at a working concentration of 100uM were spun at 10k rpm for 5 min to clear debris. In experiments when we double knocked down Klf4 and Klf5, we prepared siRNA mixtures containing 50 uM Klf4 siRNAs and 50 uM Klf5 siRNAs. After the microinjection of siRNAs, embryos were cultured in vitro to E4.0, and then subjected to IF analyses described above.

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.
