Sirna targeting

Manufactured by RiboBio
Sourced in China

SiRNA targeting is a laboratory technique used to selectively silence the expression of specific genes. It involves the use of small interfering RNA (siRNA) molecules that bind to and degrade the target messenger RNA (mRNA), preventing the production of the corresponding protein.

Recombinant lentiviruses containing AFAP1-AS1(GenBank access number: NR_026892.1) expressing AFAP1-AS1-shRNA and AFAP1-AS1-specific cDNA were purchased from Genechem Co., Ltd (Shanghai, China). The GV248 vector (hU6MCS-Ubiquitin-EGFP-IRES-puromycin) used for the stable expression of shRNA against AFAP1-AS1 and a fluorescent marker (GFP-RFP fusion protein) contained a puromycin resistance gene. The negative control (NC) sequence was indicated as “NC” and had no homology to any human genomic sequences. Lenti-viral transfection was conducted according to the GenePharma Recombinant Lentivirus Operation Manual (http://www.genepharma.com). HuCCT1 and TFK-1 cells (1 × 105 cells/well) were seeded into 6-well plates for 24 hours, and after the addition of polybrene (8 μg/ml), the cells were infected with 2 μl of concentrated lentivirus for 72 hours.

The UPF1 insA and UPF1 del plasmids were constructed based on the pCMV-MYC-UPF1 vector (provided by Professor Lynne E. Maquat, University of Rochester). Primers for site-directed mutagenesis (Table SIV) were designed by QuickChange Primer Design (Agilent Technologies, Inc.) and applied with the KOD-Plus-PCR enzyme (Toyobo Life Science). Residual templates were digested by DpnI (New England Biolabs, Inc.) at 37°C for 5 h. The AREG gene open reading frame (ORF) with or without the 3′ untranslated region (3′UTR), which was referred as AREG-3′UTR-pEGFP or AREG-ORF-pEGFP, respectively, was cloned into the pEGFP-N1 vector (provided by Dr Wang Miao, Hangzhou Normal University) using the HindIII and BamHI restriction sites. The primer sequences used are listed in Table SIV. The AREG 3′UTR sequence was amplified and cloned into the dual-luciferase reporter construct pEZX-FR02 (GeneCopoeia, Inc.) by double digestion with EcoRI and SpeI (the primer sequences used are listed in Table SIV) to generate the pEZX-AREG-3′UTR construct.

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.
