The human podocyte cell line was provided by M. Saleem (Saleem et al., 2002 (link)) (University of Bristol, United Kingdom) and was cultured as described previously (Wu et al., 2014 (link)). Human podocytes in 6-well plates were ready for transfection. For transfection of plasmids or siRNA, jetPRIME in vitro DNA & siRNA transfection reagent (PolyPlus Transfection, pt-114-15) were used according to the manufacturer’s instructions. In brief, 2 µg plasmid was diluted into 200 µl jetPRIME buffer, mixed by vortex. After adding 4 µl jetPRIME reagent and incubating for 10 mins, the transfection mixture was added to the cells in serum containing medium. For siRNA transfection, 110 pmole siRNA was diluted into 200 µl jetPRIME buffer, mixed by vortex. After adding 3 µl jetPRIME reagent and incubating for 10 mins, the transfection mixture was added to the cells in serum containing medium. Cells were harvest at 24 h after transfection. Cells were treated with 10 µM Adriamycin (MCE, HY-15142) for 6 h and 5 µM MG132 (MCE, HY-13259) for 1 h before harvested.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A macTSC#2 line overexpressing Mafa-AG was established to set the threshold in flow cytometric analysis. A full-length ORF of Mafa-AG was amplified by using a primer set that added a 3xFlag tag at the N-terminus (Table S5) and cloned into pENTR™/D-TOPO® (Invitrogen). The 3xFlag-Mafa-AG cDNA insert was transferred into a destination vector, including Venus and puromycin-resistant genes50 (link) using Gateway® LR Clonase™ II (Invitrogen). The resulting Mafa-AG/Venus-expression vector was transfected into macTSC by using jetPRIME® in vitro DNA & siRNA Transfection Reagent (Polyplus Transfection, Illkirch, France) for 6 hours in the FHBY condition. Transfected cells were selected with 10 µg/ml puromycin for 48 hours after the transfection. Single Venus-positive colonies were picked and expanded separately in the FHBY condition. A cell line with a uniform and strong Venus fluorescence was used in the present study.

The cells were seeded in a 6-well plate in advance. Plasmids were transfected based on the protocol of jetPRIME® in-vitro DNA & siRNA transfection reagent (Polyplus). Jetprime buffer (200 μl), plasmid (2 μg), and jetprime (4 μl) were mixed together. The transfection mixture was incubated at a room temperature for 10 min. Then, cells in the 6-well plate were incubated with transfection mixture (200 μl per well) for 4 h, after which the media was replaced with normal media. puromycin solution (0.4 μl) (Solarbio, 10 mg/mL) was added to 2 mL medium to prepare the puromycin dilution. After the plasmid transfection, the cells in the SIRT1 shRNA group and SIRT1 shRNA Control group were selected with puromycin dilution for 24 h at CO2 incubator.

Human ATAD3A cDNA was cloned into the pcDNA5 vector (Invitrogen) using BamHI and XhoI restriction sites. Primers used for amplification were: 5’-GCCGGATCCGGAATGTC GTGGCT CTTCGGCATT-3’, and 5’-CGCCTCGAGTCA GGAT GGGG A G  GGCTCGTC-3’. Site-directed mutagenesis was conducted to introduce the G355D mutation with primers 5’-ATGTAC GGG CCACCAGACACCGGGAAGACG-3’, and 5’- CGTCT TCCCG GTG TC TGG TGGCCCGTACAT-3’ using the Pfu polymerase (Thermo Fisher). The plasmid sequences were verified by Sanger sequencing. Primary human fibroblasts were cultured in DMEM/FBS/L-Glutamine/Uridine in 37°C, 95% Oxygen, 5% CO2. Plasmid transfections to the cells were conducted according to the manufacturer’s instructions using jetPRIME in vitro DNA & siRNA transfection reagent (Polyplus). Cells for immunocytochemistry were co-transfected with mitochondria-targeted red fluorescent protein (mito-Red) (pDsRed2-Mito Vector, Clontech) or mito-GFP (pAcGFP1-Mito Vector, Clontech).

The lentiviral plasmids for the shRNA targeting mouse Ehmt2 (G9a) in a vector pLKO.1 were purchased from Thermo Scientific Open Biosystems. The shRNA-Ehmt2 target sequence is TTGTTATCTAAATCGAAGAGG. A pLKO.1 empty vector (EV) without shRNA sequence was used as the wild-type control. To generate virus, pLKO.1-shRNA plasmids were co-transfected into 293T cells with ViraPower Mix (Invitrogen) by jetPRIMEin vitro DNA & siRNA transfection reagent (Polyplus). Viral supernatants were collected 24 and 48 hours following transfection and were used to transduce Raw264.7 cells by spinoculation. Forty-eight hours after the transfection, 8μg/ml puromycin was added to initially select puromycin-resistant clones. The stable clones were maintained in the media containing 4 μg/ml puromycin. The level of G9a expression was examined for individual clones. Those clones with at least 90% knockdown efficiency were used in the experiments.

SMARTpool siRNAs targeting ACE2 (5′-GCGACUUCAGGAUCCUUAU-3′), SNX27 (5′-CGGUUACAGUCAGGGUUAA-3′), and VPS35 (5′-GCUGGCAGAAUUGCCCUUA-3′) were designed and synthesized by the supplier GenePharma Biotechnology. We selected the most efficient siRNA for each gene for the experiment. Huh7 cells were seeded in 48-well plates (2.5 × 104 cells per well) and transfected with 300 nM siRNA using jetPRIME in vitro DNA & siRNA Transfection Reagent (Polyplus Transfection, 114). Then, the cells were incubated in DMEM at 37 °C for 48 h or 72 h. The reaction mixture was discarded, and the cells were infected with SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirus and detected by Luciferase Assay System. A control siRNA (UUCUCCGAACGUGUCACGU) was maintained in our laboratory and used as a negative control. The silencing efficiency was measured by immunoblotting.

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.
