Human kidney (293T) and human pancreatic (PANC-1) cell lines were obtained from the Cell Collection of the Institute of Cytology RAS (Saint-Petersburg, Russia). Primary leiomyoma cells were obtained after myomectomy in the D.O. Ott Research Institute of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductology (Saint-Petersburg, Russia) as previously reported [43 (link)]. Briefly, dissected collagenase IV treated fibroids were resuspended in AmnioMax Basal Medium with 10% AmnioMax Supplement serum (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Carlsbad, CA, USA). The UL cells suspension was transferred to cultural flasks and after the first passage the AmnioMax was substituted by DMEM-F12 with 10% fetal bovine serum (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Carlsbad, CA, USA). The cell culturing was continued for up to 6 weeks at 37 °C with 5% CO2.
The expression of αvβ3 integrins in leiomyoma cells was determined by flow cytometry after cells detaching from flasks with 5 mM EDTA in 1× phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) (Rosmedbio, Saint-Petersburg, Russia) and staining with FITC mouse anti-human CD51/CD61 antibodies (BD Pharmingen, San Jose, CA, USA) for 20 min at room temperature [43 (link)]. Flow cytometry was conducted using BD FACS-Canto II cytofluorimeter (Becton-Dickinson Biosciences, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA). A total of 10,000 cells were taken into account.

PANC-1 cells were seeded at a density of 5.0 × 104 cells per well in 48-well plates and incubated overnight. Before transfection, the cell culture medium was replaced with serum-free medium. DNA complexes, prepared as above (2 µg of DNA in each well), were added and incubated with cells for 4 h. Then, the transfection medium was replaced with FBS-containing medium and the cells were incubated for the next 48 h.
The β-galactosidase activity in cell extracts was measured with methyl-umbelliferyl-β-D-galactopyranoside (MUG) and normalized by the total protein concentration, measured with Bradford reagent (Helicon, Moscow, Russia), as described previously [30 (link)].
For the competition transfection study a 10-fold excess of cyclo(RGDfK) peptide was added to the cells 15 min before complex treatment, followed by the procedures described above.
GFP expression was determined by flow cytometry using a BD FACS-Canto II cytofluorimeter. Transfection efficacy was evaluated as a percentage of GFP-positive cells.

Peptide-DNA Transfection and Cell Viability

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
PANC-1, HeLa or 293T cells were seeded at a density of 6 × 104 cells/well in 48-well plates. Peptide/DNA complexes were prepared with YOYO-1 iodide (1 molecule of the dye per 50 base pairs). Transfection was performed as described above. After 2 h of the complexes’ treatment, the cells were washed twice in 1× PBS (pH 7.2) and once with 1M NaCl (in 1× PBS). Then the cells were detached, resuspended and incubated with propidium iodide solution (50 µg/mL in 1× PBS) for 15 min in the dark to exclude dead cells. Subsequently, the cells were processed by flow cytometry with a BD FACS-Canto II cytofluorimeter. The results were presented as RFU/cell. A total of 10,000 living cells were taken into account.

PANC-1 cells were seeded at a density of 6 × 104 cells/well in 48-well plates. Before formulation of the complexes, DNA was labeled with YOYO-1 iodide (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) (1 molecule of the dye per 50 base pairs). Transfection was performed as described in subchapter 2.10. After 2 h of the complexes treatment, the cells were washed twice in 1× PBS (pH 7.2) and once with 1 M NaCl (in 1× PBS). Then, the cells were detached, resuspended and incubated with propidium iodide solution (50 µg/mL in 1× PBS) for 15 min in the dark to exclude dead cells.

Quantitative Transfection Efficiency Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
PANC-1 or 293T cells were seeded at a density of 5 × 104 cells/well in 48-well plates a day before the experiments. Peptide/DNA complexes were formed with added YOYO-1 iodide based on 1 molecule of the dye per 50 base pairs. Transfection was performed according to the protocol described above. After 2 h of incubation with complexes, the cells were washed three times in 1× PBS (pH 7.2) and once with 1M NaCl (in 1× PBS). The cells were detached and incubated with propidium iodide solution, as described previously [34 (link)]. Then, the living cells, at a rate of 10,000 per sample, were analyzed by flow cytometry with a BD FACS-Canto II cytofluorimeter. The results were presented as RFU/cell.

Apoptosis and Cell Cycle Analysis

Apoptosis was measured via flow cytometry, with annexin V-647 and propidium iodide (PI) staining. Briefly, the cells were washed twice in wash buffer (0.01 M Hepes, 0.14 M NaCl, and 2.5 mM CaCl2) and stained with annexin-V-647 for 15 minutes at room temperature, followed by a final wash and the addition of 2 μg/μL of PI. Viability of cells was assessed by gating PI+ vs PI cells.
Cell cycle was measured flow-cytometrically using PI. Briefly, cells were washed in PBS and fixed in 70% ethanol at 4°C overnight. The following day the cells were washed thrice with PBS and incubated with PI (1:2000). Data were acquired using FACSCanto II cytofluorimeter and processed with FACSDiva 8.0 software (BD Biosciences).

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.
