DIAPH3 was knocked down using siRNA (Sunya, Hangzhou, China). The
siRNAs were mixed with jetPRIME transfection ingredients according to the manufacturer's protocol (Polyplus, New York, NY, USA) before being added into the corresponding dishes. Cells treated with siRNA for 48 h were used for further functional assays. The siRNA sequences were as follows: SiNC sense (UUCUCCGAACGUGUCACGUdTdT), si-NC antisense (ACGUGACAC-GUUCGGAGAAdTdT); si-DIAPH3–1 sense: CGUGUCAGAAUAGCUAAAGAATT; si-DIAPH3–1 antisense: UUCUUUAGCUAUUCUGACACGTT; si-DIAPH3–2 sense: GCUCAGUGCUAUUCUCUUUAATT; si-DIAPH3–2 antisense: UUAAAGAGAAUAGCACUGAGCTT; si-DIAPH3–3 sense: CAGAGUCCAUGAUUCAGAACUUAAUTT; si-DIAPH3–3 antisense: AUUAAGUUCUGAAUCAUGGACUCUGTT.
In order to construct stable DIAPH3 knockdown cell lines,
sh-NC and sh-DIAPH3 lentivirus (derived from si-DIAPH3–1) were bought from Genechem company (Shanghai, China). The cells successfully transfected with
sh-NC/sh-DIAPH3 lentivirus were screened using 5ug/ml
puromycin (Sigma-Aldrich; Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany) for one week. The two pairs of oligonucleotides of sh-DIAPH3 were exhibited as follows: sh-DIAPH3:
F:
5′-CCGGCGTGTCAGAATAGCTAAAGAACTCGAGTTCTTTAGCTATTCTGACACGTTTTTG −3′.
R:
5′-AATTCAAAAACGTGTCAGAATAGCTAAAGAACTCGAGTTCTTTAGCTATTCTGACACG-3′.
