Lin28a

Manufactured by Addgene
Sourced in United States

LIN28A is a protein that regulates the expression of certain genes involved in cellular development and differentiation. It plays a role in the regulation of let-7 microRNA family members, which are important for controlling cell fate and stemness. LIN28A is expressed in embryonic stem cells and various types of cancer cells.

Generation of Polycistronic Reprogramming Vectors

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The DOT1L inhibitor EPZ004777 (iDOT1L) was purchased from AOBIOUS Inc. (Gloucester, MA, USA). WNT inhibitor IWR1 was purchased from Selleckchem (Houston, TX, USA). The constructs pMXs-OCT4, NANOG, LIN28A and GLIS1 were purchased from Addgene (Cambridge, MA, USA). Construction of the polycistronic vector pMXs-KLF4, MYC and SOX2 (KMS) was described in our previous study (Wang et al., 2017 (link)). To clone the pMXs-GNL or NL polycistronic vector, the coding sequences for human NANOG, LIN28A and GLIS1 were PCR-amplified from the above-mentioned Addgene constructs. The amplified DNA sequences for each gene were then inserted into linearized pMXs vectors (Cell Biolabs, San Diego, CA, USA) using an In-Fusion kit (Clontech Inc., Mountain View, CA, USA). 2A sequences (Carey et al., 2009 (link); Ryan and Drew, 1994 (link); Ryan et al., 1991 (link)) were inserted between each gene.

Cloning of SunTag-FL2 Construct

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For cloning of the SunTag-FL2 construct, we used the SINAPs plasmid from the Singer lab (Addgene #84561)44 and a tdTomato-FL2 (containing the 3’UTR of FL2) plasmid previously cloned in-house using the tdTomato-C1 vector (Addgene #54653), a human FL2 clone in pANT7_cGST (DNASU, Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ, clone: HsCD00403041) and a human FL2 3’UTR construct (Switchgear Genomics #S811553). The Ubc promoter, flag tag and SunTag reporter were cloned from the SINAPs construct to replace the CMV promoter and tdTomato reporter of the tdTomato-FL2 plasmid using NEBuilder HiFi DNA Assembly technology (NEB).
The plasmids used for IMP RBP overexpression, GFP-ZBP133 (link), GFP-IGF2BP2 and GFP-IGF2BP2 KH3 mutant39 (link), were from the Singer laboratory. The Lin28 plasmids were purchased from Addgene; Lin28A (#51371), Lin28B (#51373) and Lin28A-mCCHC (#51372). The miRNA let-7 inhibitor sequence (3’-CUCCAUCAUCCAACAU-5’) was previously validated for broad let-7 family inhibition (Frost & Olson, 2011). The custom miRCURY LNA miRNA inhibitor was purchased from Qiagen (Cat num 339146).

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.
