Murine Pancreatic Tumor Model Establishment

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The “FC1242” (C57BL/6 background) murine PDA cell line was isolated from the pancreatic tumor of a KPC mouse (pdx1cre/+;KRasLSL-G12D/+; p53R172H/+) as we described previously51 (link). In select experiments, we utilized FC1242 KPC-derived tumor cells (1 × 106), which we engineered to express OVA using pCI-neo-cOVA (gift of Maria Castro; Addgene plasmid # 25097) as we described21 (link). To establish orthotopic pancreatic lesions in vivo, tumor cells (105) were suspended in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) with Matrigel (BD) in a 1:1 ratio and were injected into the body of the pancreas via laparotomy. In select experiments, DC (2.5 × 104) were admixed with tumor cells and co-transferred to pancreata of mice. In other experiments, OTII T cells (5 × 104) were admixed with equal numbers of FC1242 and FC1242.Ova tumor cells (2.5 × 104 each) and administered subcutaneously. For our liver metastases model, PDA cells (1 × 106) were administered into the portal venous system via direct splenic injection followed by splenectomy, as we reported52 (link).

Generation of Fluorescent Protein Constructs

GFP-NBR1 and GFP-NBR1 dUBA were provided by Jayanta Debnath. LysoTag - TMEM192-mRFP-3xHA (TMRHA) - was generated by subcloning the cDNA of TMEM192 (Origene) together with monomeric Red Fluorescent Protein (mRFP) and 3xHA tag into the NheI and EcoRI sites of pLJM1 lentiviral vector. HLA-A-TurboID-FLAG (HLA-A-TrID) was generated by subcloning the cDNA of HLA-A (Addgene plasmid, #85162) into the EcoRI and NotI sites of the TurboID pLVX vector (gift from Roberto Zoncu, UC Berkeley). pMXs GFP-LC3-RFP was a gift from Noboru Mizushima (Addgene, plasmid #117413). For Dox-inducible expression of Atg4BC74A, mTurquoise2 or mStrawberry was fused to Atg4BC74A and inserted into either pSLIK-Hygro (used for in vitro studies) (Addgene, plasmid #25737) or pINDUCER20 (used for in vivo studies) (Addgene, plasmid #44012), using the Gateway Cloning system (Thermo Fisher Science). For the generation of OVA-expressing cells, the cOVA fragment was cloned from pCI-neo-cOVA (Addgene, plasmid #25097), fused with 2A peptide and mStrawberry sequences using NEBuilder HiFi DNA Assembly Cloning Kit (New England BioLabs) according to manufacturer’s instruction, and inserted into the EcoRI and SalI sites of pBabe-zeo (Addgene, plasmid #1766) to generate pBabe-cOVA-2A-mStrawberry. Stable cOVA expression was confirmed and monitored with mStrawberry fluorescence.

Generating Ovalbumin-Expressing Lentiviral Vectors

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Plasmids (pCI-neo-sOVA, pCI-neo-mOVA, pCI-neo-cOVA, pcDNA3-OVA) were obtained from Addgene. Different forms of artificial tumor antigen ovalbumin sequence were subcloned into a lentiCRISPR-V2-blast vector via Gibson assembly to generate different Ova-expressing vectors (lentiV2-blast-sOva, lentiV2-blast-mOva, lentiV2-blast-cOva, lentiV2-blast-Ova).

A RAW264.7 (murine macrophage) cell line was provided by Dr. Terry Connell (Department of Microbiology and Immunology, University at Buffalo, SUNY). The cell line was maintained in medium prepared as follows: 50 mL of FBS (heat inactivated), 5 mL of 100 mM MEM sodium pyruvate, 5 mL of 1 M HEPES buffer, 5 mL of penicillin/streptomycin solution, and 1.25 g of g D-(+)glucose added to 500 mL RPMI-1640 and filter sterilized. The HeLa (human epithelial) cell line was provided by Dr. Stelios Andreadis (Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering, University at Buffalo, SUNY) and cultured in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM; Gibco BRL, Grand Island, NY) supplemented with 10% (v/v) FBS (GIBCO) and 1% (v/v) Antibiotic-Antimycotic (A/A; Gibco). All cell lines were housed in T75 flasks and cultured at 37°C/5% CO2.
To determine in vitro transfection efficacy, we employed two reporter genes encoding luciferase and EGFP with each driven by a cytomegalovirus promoter within plasmids pCMV-Luc (Elim Biopharmaceuticals) and pCMV-EGFP (Addgene plasmid 11153[34 (link)]). Alternatively, in vivo transfection was evaluated using pCI-neo-cOVA (Addgene plasmid 25097[35 (link)]). Plasmids were transformed into and isolated from an E. coli cloning host (GeneHogs, Invitrogen) using a PureYield Plasmid Midiprep System (Promega) prior to being used in the experiments outlined below.

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.
