Respective siRNAs were synthesized by GenePharma (Shanghai GenePharma Co., Ltd., Shanghai, China). The following siRNA sequences were used: Sense: 5′-GCUCCUUCUCAAUCCGCCUTT-3′, Antisense: 5′-AGGCGGAUUGAGAAGGAGCTT-3′; siNC: Sense 5′-UUCUCCGAACGUGUCACGUTT-3′, Antisense 5′-ACGUGACACGUUCGGAGAATT-3′. A total of 3×105 OS cells were seeded per well in a 6-well plate, and transiently transfected with 10 nM siRNA using Lipofectamine iMAX kit (Invitrogen), according to the manufacturer's instructions. OS cells were harvested for RNA and protein extraction after 48-72 hours of incubation with respective siRNAs.

Silencing MXI1 in Osteosarcoma Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human osteoblast hFOB1.19 and two human osteosarcoma cells Saos-2 and U2OS (ATCC, United States) were maintained in DMEM plus 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (Sigma, United States) and 2% antibiotic-antimycotic solution (Corning, United States) at 37°C in a humidified atmosphere with 5% CO2. Specific siRNAs against MXI1 (si-MXI1) and negative control (si-NC) were synthesized by GenePharma (Shanghai, China). In total, 3 × 105 Saos-2 and U2OS cells were seeded onto a 6-well plate, and transiently transfected with 10 nM siRNA utilizing Lipofectamine iMAX kit (Invitrogen, United States). Saos-2 and U2OS cells were collected for RNA extraction following 48 h of incubation with specific siRNAs.

Human circFUT8 linear sequence was obtained from LUAD tissues by PCR and inserted into plasmid vector pcDNA 3.1 (Hanbioa). The small interfering RNA (siRNA) of circFUT8, mFUT8 were provided by RiboBio. The target sequences are supplied in Table S1. According to the target sequence of si‐circFUT8, cloned a short hairpin RNA (shRNA) (sh‐circFUT8) into pGFP‐u6 vector. A Lipofectamine 3000 kit (Invitrogen) was used to perform transient transfection of the shRNA or overexpressing plasmids, and the Lipofectamine iMax kit (Invitrogen) was used to perform transient transfection of siRNA.

shRNAs targeting the junction region of the circDCUN1D4 sequence, circDCUN1D4-overexpressing plasmids, HuR-overexpressing plasmids, and TXNIP-overexpressing plasmids were synthesized by Hanbio (Shanghai, China). The primers are provided in Table S2. The siRNAs targeting TXNIP, DHX9, and ADAR1 were provided by RiboBio (Guangzhou, China). The target sequences are supplied in Table S3. The sequences of AluJo + AluSc, AluJo, AluSc, and vector were constructed by sequencing synthesis and subcloned into pcDNA3.1(+) (Public Protein/Plasmid Library, Nanjing, China). Transient transfection of the shRNA or the overexpressing plasmids was performed using the Lipofectamine 3000 kit (Invitrogen), according to the manufacturer’s instructions, and transient transfection of siRNA was performed using the Lipofectamine iMax kit (Invitrogen), according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

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.
