Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The pLenti-C-Myc-DDK and pLenti-C-Myc-DDK-UBE2N plasmids were purchased from OriGene (Rockville, USA). Lentivirus overexpressing UBC13 and control lentivirus were produced with lentiviral packaging kits (OriGene). At 24 and 48 h after transfection, supernatants containing lentivirus were collected, filtered, aliquoted, and stored at −80 °C. FLT3L-expanded BMDCs were transduced with lentivirus in the presence of 4 μg/ml polybrene (Sigma-Aldrich). The transduction mixture was centrifuged at 1000 × g at 32 °C for 90 min and further incubated in the cell incubator for 5 h. Thereafter, the transduced cells were incubated in normal BMDC culture medium for 3 days.

Overexpression and Knockdown Protocols for miR-485-5p and Regulatory Genes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
shDUXAP8, shNC, human miR-485-5p mimic, and mimic NC were purchased from GenePharma (Shanghai, P.R. China). shDUXAP8 or shNC sequences were cloned into lentiviral vector pLKO.1-puro (Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA). To produce lentivirus, lentiviral vector was co-transfected into HEK293T cells with packaging vectors using the Lentiviral Packaging Kit (OriGene, Rockville, MD, USA) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. After 48 h, lentivirus-containing supernatant was harvested from the culture, centrifuged at 500 × g for 5 min to remove cell debris, and applied to target cells in the presence of polybrene (8 μg/mL; Sigma) overnight. Then, target cells were cultured in fresh complete growth medium for 48 h and selected in medium containing puromycin (5 μg/mL) for a further 10 days.
To overexpress FOXM1 or FUS, the human FOXM1 or FUS cDNA sequence was cloned into pcDNA3.1 vector (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltman, MA, USA). The empty vector was used as the NC. The transfection of pcDNA3.1 vector or miRNA mimics was performed using Lipofectamine 3000 (Invitrogen) according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Generating HOTAIR Overexpressing Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The sequence of HOTAIR (NR_003716) was cloned from the LZRS-HOTAIR plasmid (Addgene plasmid #26110) and inserted into the pEGFP-Lv105 vector (Capital Biosciences) as the working HOTAIR plasmid. pEGFP-Lv105 empty vector was used as a control. Then, we applied lentiviral packaging kit (Cat#3D5F03, Origene) in HEK293T cells to produce lentiviral particles. The MDA-T41 cells were transduced with HOTAIR plasmid- or empty vector-lentiviral particles in 8 µg/ml hexadimethrine bromide (Sigma)-containing growth medium to generate MDA-T41 HOTAIR-OE cells or Control cells, respectively. Then, cells were revived in normal growth medium for an additional 24–28 h with subsequent selection in puromycin-containing growth medium.

Lentiviral GFP vectors containing NeuroD1 shRNA or scrambled shRNA were purchased from Origene (Rockville, MD, USA). MiR-30a-5p and miR-153-3p mimics were synthesized by Genolution (Seoul, Korea). 293T cells were co-transfected with NeuroD1 shRNA, scrambled shRNA, and miRNAs and packing plasmids using Lentiviral packaging kit (Origene) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. After 48 h and 72 h of transfection, culture supernatants containing lentiviral particles were harvested. Then, BV-2 cells and primary cells were infected with the harvested lentiviral particles.

The EGFR cDNA clones, including WT EGFR, L858R EGFR, L858R/T790M EGFR, and Del E746-A750 EGFR were subcloned into the lentivirus vector (PS100064, Origene) by SgfI and MluI. Lentiviral Packaging Kit (TR30037, Origene) was used for virus package in 293T cells. The Ba/F3 cells were infected with lentivirus together with 8 μg/mL polybrene for 24 h. 48 h later, 1 μg/mL puromycin was added to the cell culture medium and maintained for another 7 days for the selection of stable cell lines.

The isoform 1 of human PGC-1α (NM_001330751) was cloned by PCR into the pLenti-DDK-P2A-Puro empty vector (OriGene Technologies, PS100092). Primer sequences are reported in Additional file 1: Primer List. Lentivirus particles containing either the empty plasmid or the PGC-1α plasmid were prepared using the Lentiviral Packaging Kit (OriGene, TR30037) following manufacturer’s instructions and used to infect the cell lines. In cybrids, stable PGC-1α overexpression has been performed selecting positive clones by puromycin resistance. Differently, transient PGC-1α overexpression has been carried out in fibroblasts, which have been analyzed after 72 h from the infection.

Lentivirus particles containing a pLenti-C-Myc-DDK-P2A-Puro plasmid empty (OriGene, PS100092) or with human NQO1 isoform 1 (OriGene, RC200620L3) were prepared using the Lentiviral Packaging Kit (OriGene, TR30037), following manufacturer’s instructions and used to infect the cybrid cell lines (H42A and RJ206). Infected cells were selected with 0.25μg/mL and 0.75μg/mL puromycin for H42A and RJ206, respectively. Once the overexpression was assessed by Western blot, clonal selection was performed by diluting cells suspensions. For each cell line, three clones with higher NQO1 overexpression evaluated by Western blot analysis were pooled together. Three clones were also pooled for the mock cell lines.

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.
