Hek293t cells

Manufactured by Takara Bio
Sourced in United States, Japan

HEK293T cells are a widely used cell line derived from human embryonic kidney cells. They are transformed with the adenovirus 5 DNA, which contains the SV40 large T antigen. HEK293T cells are known for their high transfection efficiency and are commonly used for the production and characterization of recombinant proteins, viral vector production, and various cell-based assays.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Overexpressed (OE): A Lentiviral construct (CCSB-Broad Lentiviral Expression Human SLC4A5 Clone; CloneId: ccsbBroad304_12409) was purchased from Thermo Scientific. The plasmid was packaged into virus with compatible packaging plasmids using HEK-293T cells (Clontech Laboratories). The lentivirus was added to hRTPCs at 30–40% confluence for 18–20 h, then removed and replaced with regular growth medium. After 48 h, the medium was changed to selection medium containing Blasticidin S (InvivoGen; 5 μg/ml).
Knocked-down (KD): Validated Mission shRNAi Lentiviral constructs for knocking down the SLC4A4 gene (Clone ID:NM_003759.1-598s1c1; NM_003759.1-1955s1c1 and NM_003759.1-3183s1c1) or SLC4A5 gene (Clone ID:NM_021196.3-676s21c1; NM_021196.3-1161s21c1 and NM_021196.2-1989s1c1), as well as a negative shRNA control (Mission Non-Target shRNA control vector; SHC002), were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich and packaged into virus with compatible packaging plasmids using HEK-293T cells (Clontech Laboratories). hRPTCs were transduced, as mentioned above. After 48 h, the selection agent puromycin (Sigma-Aldrich, P7255; 2μg/ml) was added to the media. KD of protein expression was confirmed by western blotting using an anti-NBCe2 antibody (Sigma HPA036621, polyclonal rabbit; 1:500 dilution). The western blots were analyzed using Odyssey software.

Human bone marrow aspirates were acquired from 3 cm posterior to the anterior superior iliac spine of fifteen adult donors. This research was authorized by the Institutional Review Board of Yonsei University College of Medicine (IRB no. 4-2017-0232). Label-free cell isolation was conducted based on biophysical characterization [41 (link)]. hBMSCs were isolated based on adhesion to a plastic culture plate surface, and their validity was verified by flow cytometry, as described in our previous study [38 (link)]. Subpopulations of hBMSC clones were characterized, and their multipotency was proven as previously described [39 (link)]. Additional hBMSCs were purchased from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC, Manassas, VA, USA). Cells were cultured as previously described [16 (link)]. hBMSCs were cultured in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium Low-Glucose (DMEM-LG, 31600-034, Gibco, Grand Island, NY, USA) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS, 16000-044, Gibco) and 1% antibiotic-antimycotic solution (15240-062, Gibco). HEK293T cells were purchased from Takara Bio (Mountain View, CA, USA). HEK293T cells were maintained in DMEM High-Glucose (DMEM-HG, 12800-017, Gibco) containing 10% FBS and 1% antibiotic-antimycotic solution (Gibco), according to Takara Bio guidelines. Cells were incubated at 37 °C in a 5% CO2 atmosphere.

Engineered HEK293T Cell Line for GFP Expression

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We used HEK293T cells (Takara Bio, Japan). The identity and negative mycoplasma status of these cells have been confirmed by the vendors. Upon receiving the cell line, we engineered the cells to carry a genomically integrated dscGFP gene driven by the TRE3G promoter (consisting of seven repeats of the Tet response element) (Kempton et al., 2020 (link)). This cell line was clonally sorted and expanded and showed no background GFP fluorescence. We expanded and kept multiple aliquots in the liquid nitrogen freezer. The cells were taken out of the liquid nitrogen freezer for experiments and discarded after maximum 3 months of use.

Primary keratinocytes were isolated from WT CD-1 or TNR mice and cultured using previously described methods (Nowak and Fuchs, 2009 (link)). HEK293T cells were obtained from Takara Bio Inc. and used for lentiviral production as previously described. For lentiviral infections, keratinocytes were plated at 100,000 cells per six wells and incubated with lentivirus in the presence of 100 μl polybrene. 24–48 h after viral infection, cells were selected with 1–2 mg/ml puromycin. 96 h postinfection, keratinocytes were grown to confluency on fibronectin-coated coverslips and shifted to 2 mM Ca2+ growth media as previously described (Ezratty et al., 2011 (link)). Coverslips were fixed in either −20 Methanol (to visualize the microtubule cytoskeleton) or 4% PFA before processing for IF. Paraformaldehyde-fixed samples were permeabilized for 5 min in 0.5% Triton X-100. All antibodies were diluted in 10% normal goat serum in PBS.

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.
