HTR8 cells were donated by Prof. Haixiang Sun (Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital), and BeWo and JEG3 cells were purchased from the ATCC. Cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 medium (containing 10% FBS, 10 units/mL penicillin, and 10 mg/mL streptomycin) in 5% CO2 at 37°C. For EPB41L4A-AS1 gene overexpression or knockdown, 1 μg plasmids or 50 nM siRNA were transfected using Lipofectamine 3000 (Invitrogen, 1656200) as described by the manufacturer.
A total of 500 ng RNA was subjected to reverse transcription using the M-MLV reverse transcriptase kit (Toyobo, Japan) for cDNA synthesis. Gene reverse transcription used ReverTra Ace Master Mix (Toyobo, FSQ-301), and mRNA expression was tested using an ABI7500 cycler (USA) with the SYBR Green PCR kit (Toyobo, Hilden, Japan) and normalizing to β-actin mRNA.

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.
