NSCLC Cell Line Modulation by miR-449a and HMGB1

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Three human NSCLC cell lines (A549, H1299, and H460) and a normal human lung epithelial cell line (BEAS-2B) were purchased from the Cell Bank of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (Shanghai, P.R. China). The cells were cultured in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM; HyClone, Los Angeles, CA, USA) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS; HyClone) at 37°C with 5% CO2.
The miR-449a mimic, pcDNA3.1-HMGB1, and their corresponding negative control (miR-NC, blank vector) were purchased from GenePharma (Shanghai, P.R. China). The miRNA or HMGB1 transfection was performed using Lipofectamine™ 2000 (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Additionally, cells without transfection were treated with a NF-κB inhibitor JSH-23 (Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA) at a concentration of 40 μM.

Autophagy Regulation via HMGB1

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The GFP-tagged LC3 cDNA expression construct was a gift from Dr. Noboru Mizushima (Tokyo Medical and Dental University, Tokyo, Japan). P-Babe-Puro-MEK-DD, which constitutively expresses activated MEK1-DD (S218D/S222D), was purchased from Addgene Inc. (Cambridge, MA). Transfections with pcDNA3.1-HMGB1, HMGB1 shRNA, Atg5 siRNA, mTOR siRNA, PI3K-III siRNA and MEK siRNA (all obtained from GenePharma, Shanghai, China) were performed using Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen, USA), according to the manufacturer’s protocol.

Investigating miR-505 and HMGB1 in Renal Cancer

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Selected human renal cancer cells Caki‐1 and 769P were transfected with constructed lentiviral vectors (Lv2‐pGLV‐u6‐puro; GenePharma, Shanghai, China). The empty lentiviral vector was taken as a control. Based on the protocols, cells were infected with lentiviruses and screened with puromycin. Caki‐1 were transfected with miR‐505 mimics while 769P were dealt with miR‐505 inhibitor, NC and anti‐NC were used as negative control.
In addition, selected cell lines were transfected with HMGB1 small interfering RNA (siRNA; GenePharma), negative control siRNA (GenePharma), pcDNA3.1‐HMGB1 (GenePharma), empty pcDNA3.1 plasmid (GenePharma). For plasmid and siRNA transfections, cells were transfected with Lipofectamine 3000 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Shanghai, China) based on the protocols.

Etanercept modulates psoriatic keratinocyte proliferation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HaCaT cells were starved in a serum‐free medium for 12 h before treatment and transfection. Next, HaCaT cells were exposed to different doses of etanercept (0, 5, 10, 20, 40, and 80 μg/ml; Shanghai Sunshine Guojian Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., China) for 24 h at 37˚C in 5% CO2. To further examine the effects of etanercept in HaCaT cells, we constructed hyperproliferative psoriatic keratinocytes using LPS.32 HaCaT cells were divided into Control (without treatment), LPS (HaCaT cells at a density of 1 × 105 cells/ml were treated with 10 μg/ml LPS for 24 h), LPS+5 μg/ml Etanercept (HaCaT cells at a density of 1 × 105 cells/ml were treated with 5 μg/ml etanercept for 6 h before LPS treatment), LPS + 40 μg/ml Etanercept (HaCaT cells at a density of 1 × 105 cells/ml were treated with 40 μg/ml etanercept for 6 h before LPS treatment), LPS+Etanercept+si‐HMGB1 (HaCaT cells at a density of 1 × 105 cells/ml were transfected with siRNA‐HMGB1 and treated with 40 μg/ml etanercept for 6 h before LPS treatment), and LPS+Etanercept+HMGB1 (HaCaT cells at a density of 1 × 105 cells/ml were transfected with pcDNA3.1‐HMGB1 and treated with 40 μg/ml etanercept for 6 h before LPS treatment). The plasmid pcDNA3.1‐HMGB1 and siRNA‐HMGB1 were purchased from GenePharma (Shanghai, China). Lipofectamine™ 3000 reagent (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) was used for transfection.

HMGB1 Knockdown Regulates Autophagy in Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were transfected with HMGB siRNA (Sense: GGAAGUUUCUACUGUAUAGTT; Antisense: CUAUACAGUAGAAACUUCCTT)or control siRNA (Sense: UUCUCCGAACGUGUCACGUTT; Antisense: ACGUGACACGUUCGGAGAATT) (Sangon Biotech, Shanghai, China) using lipofectamine2000 (Invitrogen, USA) and Opti-MEM (Invitrogen, USA) according to the manufacturer's protocol, then transfected with adenoviral vectors carrying GFP-LC3for 24 h, treated with GEM for indicated time, fixed in 4% formaldehyde for 10 min, wash with PBS, stained with DAPI for 10 min. The samples were examined under a confocal laser scanning microscope (Olympus Fluoview 2000). The GFP-LC3 puncta in each cell were quantified by Image J software. Transfections with pcDNA3.1 control or pcDNA3.1 HMGB1 (GenePharma, shanghai, China) were performed as mentioned above.

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.
