Fluorescent Reporter Plasmid Characterization

The fluorescent reporter plasmids are based on the pTRE-Tight-BI (Clontech) system, in which a bidirectional Tet promoter expresses eYFP and mCherry (Mukherji et al., 2011 (link)). The 3′ UTR of mCherry contains either zero (0s), one (1s), or three consecutive (3s) 48-nt-long sequence stretches, which are comprised of one 8-mer MRE and ±20-bp flanking regions (Bosson et al., 2014 (link)). ESC line E14 was transfected with reporter and rtTA plasmids, induced with doxycycline 6 hr post-transfection, and harvested 18 hr later. Samples were analyzed using a FACSAria IIIu flow cytometer and eYFP and mCherry fluorescent values were corrected for autofluorescence as described in Bosson et al. (2014) (link).

miR-294 (AGCACTTA), miR-92/25 (GTGCAATA), miR-293 (GCGGCACA), or let-7 (CTACCTCA) 8-mer sites were cloned into the bidirectional pTRE-Tight-BI (Clontech) eYFP and mCherry reporter constructs described in Mukherji et al., 2011 (link). Reporter constructs and rtTA plasmids were transfected and induced with doxycycline 4 hr posttransfection. Fluorescence-activated cell sorting measurements were taken 24 hr posttransfection and data were processed with FlowJo software.

miRNA Expression and 3'UTR Reporter Assays

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A pri-miRNA expression vector was prepared by inserting short fragments of pri-miR-140 into pcDNA6.2-GW/EmGFP-miR (Thermo Fisher Scientific) as previously described20 (link). 3′ UTR reporter vectors were generated by inserting miRNA target site sequences or 3′ UTRs of miR-140-5p-G target genes into the 3′ UTR of the luciferase gene in the psiCHECK-2 dual luciferase reporter vector (Promega). For the Hif1a CDS expression plasmid, a Flag-tagged mouse Hif1a cDNA was cloned into the pcDNA3 vector. The 3′ UTR sequences of mouse Btg1, Ehd1, Trps1, and Loxl3 were inserted into the 3′ UTR of mCherry in the bidirectional pTRE-Tight-BI (Clontech) eYFP and mCherry reporter vector. Mutations were introduced by a PCR-based approach. Primer sequences are given in Supplementary Table 9.

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.
