Two siRNAs against human SRC (GenBank accession no. NM_005417) were designed as described previously (Reynolds et al.,2004; Ui‐Tei et al.,2004). The 19 nucleotide target sequences (SRC‐siRNA1: position 1489–1507 and SRC‐siRNA2: position 1684–1702) were synthesized into 64–65 mer oligonucleotides with BamHI/HindIII overhangs (Sigma Aldrich) and cloned into the expression vector pSilencer 3.0‐H1, containing pmaxGFP (Ambion Inc.). All clones were purified using an EndoFree Plasmid Maxi Kit (Qiagen Ltd) and sequenced (Geneservice Ltd). hASMC were transfected using the Basic Nucleofector® Kit and nucleofector device (Amaxa Biosystems). After 72 h, the transfection efficiency was >90%, confirmed by fluorescence microscopy.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The 20bp long gRNA, designed using Deskgen online software (https://zlab.bio/guide-design-resources), for targeting IL-8 and Cxcl15 in exon 3 (5’-TTCAGTGTAAAGCTTTCTGA-3’ and 5’ACAGAGCAGTCCCAAAAAAT-3’, respectively) were incorporated into two complementary 100-mer oligonucleotides and cloned into a gRNA containing plasmid containing the (NeoR/KanR) cassette (Addgene #41824). The human codon optimized pCAGGS-Cas9-mCherry was used for gene-editing experiments (a gift from Stem Cell Core Facility at Columbia University). gRNA and Cas9 containing plasmids were introduced to prostate epithelial cells using the basic nucleofector kit (Lonza, Cat#VPI-1005) following the manufacturer’s instructions for primary mammalian epithelial cells (program W001). Successfully transfected cells were selected by culturing in the presence of 400µg/ml of neomycin sulfate analog (G418; Gibco, Cat#10131027), and isolated based on their mCherry expression 24hrs after transfection. Knock out clones were screened for IL-8 and Cxcl15 expression by ELISA and gene-editing confirmed by PCR amplification and Sanger sequencing (GENEWIZ) using primers ~200bp away from the cut site (IL-8 Forward: 5’-TTTGGACTTAGACTTTATGCCTGAC-3; IL-8 Reverse: 5’-TCCTGGGCAAACTATGTATGG-3; Cxcl15 Forward: 5’-GCTAGGCACACTGATATGTGTTAAA-3; Cxcl15 Reverse: 5’-ACATTTGGGGATGCTACTGG-3).

Next day, cells were washed and allowed to recover in normal pericyte medium. For ocln overexpression experiments, ocln cDNA cloned into the pCMV6 plasmid was obtained from OriGene (Cat# RC206468). As a negative control, the pCMV6 plasmid (OriGene Cat# PS100001) was used.

Reconstitution of Viruses from BACs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Viruses were reconstituted from BACs by transfection of 0.5 × 106 epithelial cells, 2 × 106 HFFF cells, or 2 × 106 HFFF-Tet cells. HFFF and HFFF-Tet cells were transfected by electroporation, using program T16 of the Nucleofector II (Amaxa) and a basic Nucleofector kit (Lonza), according the manufacturer's instructions. On occasions when transfected HFFF or HFFF-Tet cultures were <70% confluent after overnight recovery, additional nontransfected cells were added. RPE-1 cells were transfected by chemical transfection using an Effectene kit (Qiagen), according to the manufacturer's instructions for transfection of adherent cells. The efficiencies of transfection of fibroblast and epithelial cells differed only marginally, with 20 to 35 plaques formed per electroporation in HFFF or HFFF-Tet cells and 50 to 60 plaques formed in RPE-1 cells.

Neoantigen Expression in HCMV Vectors

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
As a neoantigen for expression in TB40/E-BAC derived vectors, we used human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV-16) consensus E6/E7 fusion protein (ConE6E7, GenBank accession number: FJ229356) (46 (link)). In addition, the HLA-A2-binding peptide E629−38 (TIHDIILECV) derived from the E6 protein of HPV-16 (47 (link)) was fused with an AA-linker (AATIHDIILECV) to the C-terminus of HCMV IE1 (E6peptideIE1) or HCMV UL83 (E6peptideUL83). The corresponding sequences were synthesized and verified by Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT). The synthesized E6/E7 encoding sequence was digested with EcoRI and Kpn-I and cloned into the expression vectors pEF6/V5-His A and pcDNA™3.1 (+). These constructs were named pEF6E6/E7EcoRI and pcDNAE6/E7Kpn-I, respectively. Recombinant HCMV was generated using BAC technology as previously described (48 (link)). All recombinant BAC clones were confirmed by PCR and DNA-sequencing of the target area. Viruses were reconstituted from BACs by electroporation of 1 × 106 Fi301 cells using program A24 of the Nucleofector II (Amaxa) and a basic Nucleofector kit (Lonza), according 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.
