Silencer Select siRNA oligonucleotides specific to CP110 (#1 sense, 5′-GCAAAACCAGAAUACGAGATT-3′, and antisense, 5′-UCUCGUAUUCUGGUUUUGCAT-3′; and #2 sense, 5′-CAAGCGGACUCACUCCAUATT-3′, and antisense, 5′-UAUGGAGUGAGUCCGCUUGAG-3′) or GAPDH as an experimental control (sense, 5′-UGGUUUACAUGUUCCAAUATT-3′, and antisense, 5′-UAUUGGAACAUGUAAACCATG-3′) were purchased from Ambion. For suspension cells, 50 nmol siRNA was transfected using Amaxa Nucleofector Kit V (Jurkat) or Kit T (NALM-6) according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Lonza). Cells were analyzed by Western blotting and immunofluorescence microscopy 72 h (Jurkat) or 100 h (NALM-6) after transfection. For hTERT-RPE1 cells, 50 nmol siRNA was complexed with Oligofectamine (Invitrogen) in serum-free OptiMEM (Gibco) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. 24 h after transfection, cells were serum starved as described for 24 h before analysis by Western blotting and immunofluorescence microscopy.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
hTERT-RPE1 cells were transfected with an ON-TARGETplus SMART pool of RNA duplexes inhibitory to C-NAP1 (L-012364-00-0005; Dharmacon), Silencer Select siRNA oligonucleotides specific to GAPDH (s5573; Ambion), or an ON-TARGETplus Non-targeting Control Pool (D-001810-10-05; Dharmacon) using Oligofectamine (Invitrogen). A 50- or 100-nmol amount of siRNA was complexed with Oligofectamine in serum-free OptiMEM (Gibco) and added to cells at 30–40% confluency. Serum was added 5 h after transfection and fresh medium 24 h after transfection. Cells were analyzed 24 and 48 h after transfection. Where indicated, cells were serum starved 24 h after transfection.

Silencing Gene Expression in hTERT-RPE1 Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
hTERT-RPE1 cells were plated to attain 30–40% confluency on the day of transfection. On the next day, 50 nmol of custom siRNA (5′-AAGGAUGGUUCUAAGCAUAUC-3′; Jeong et al., 2007 (link)) or Silencer Select siRNA oligonucleotides specific to GAPDH (s5573; Ambion) was complexed with Oligofectamine (Invitrogen) in Opti-MEM (Gibco) for 20 min before addition to cells. After 4-h incubation of cells with the Oligofectamine-siRNA complexes, medium supplemented with 30% FBS was added, and cells were incubated for 48 h. Where indicated, cells were transfected for 36 h before serum starvation for 24 h.

Cells were seeded at 5000 cells per well in 96-well tissue culture plates and allowed to adhere overnight. Cells were transfected with 20 µM of Silencer™ Select siRNA oligonucleotides targeting human SULT1A1 (s13613, Ambion) or a non-targeting siRNA negative control (Negative Control No. 1 siRNA, Ambion). Cells were transfected using Lipofectamine RNAi max (Invitrogen) according to manufacturer’s specifications. After 24 h of transfection media was replaced with normal growth media.

To knockdown the ESR2 expression induced by the Sal treatment, MDA-MB-468 cells (5 × 104 cells/well) were seeded on a 6-well plate overnight and then simultaneously treated with Sal (0.5 μM) and transfected with Silencer Select siRNA oligonucleotides (ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham, MA), according to the manufacturer instructions. Briefly, siRNA (60 nM) was mixed with RNAiMAX transfection reagent in the presence of OptiMEM reduced serum medium for 5 min at room temperature. The siRNA-lipid complex and Sal were then co-incubated with the cells. An equimolar mixture of 3 different pre-designed siRNA (20 nM each) targeting multiple regions of ESR2 gene (TableS1) was used to silence the estrogen expression. Silencer control 1 (ctl1) and control 2 (ctl2) siRNA, not able to interact with any human RNA, were used as negative controls. 72 h after siRNA transfection and drug treatment, cells were harvested prior to performing FACS analysis and cell viability assay.

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.
