5 protocols using psv40 rl

Measuring NF-κB Transcriptional Activity

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To measure NF-κB transcriptional activity, BV2 cells or primary microglia were transfected with pGMNF-κB-Luc (GM-022001, Genomeditech). Cotransfection of Renilla luciferase under the control of the SV40 early enhancer/promoter region (pSV40-RL, Promega) was used to normalize for transfection efficiency. After treatment for 48 h, the dual-luciferase reporter assay system (Promega, USA) was used to determine NF-κB reporter activity. All transfections were performed at least two times, in triplicate.

MiR-223 Regulation of FoxO1 3'UTR in Jurkat Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To assess miR‐223 repressing the 3′ UTR of FoxO1 mRNA in Jurkat cells, 1.5 × 106 cells were transfected with 200 ng of pMIR‐REPORT™ Reporter Vector (Ambion Inc.) or 200 ng of pMIR‐REPORT‐FoxO1‐3′ UTR, 10 ng of Renilla luciferase reporter pSV40‐RL (transfection control; Promega) and 50 nM of miR‐223‐3p precursor molecules or equal amounts of miRNA precursor molecules‐negative controls. At 48 hrs after transfection, luciferase assays were performed using the Dual‐Luciferase Reporter Assay System (Promega) according to the manufacturer's instructions. All experiments were carried out five times.

SARS-CoV-2 ORF6 Mutant Plasmid Construction

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The HA-tagged SARS-CoV-2 wild-type and M58R ORF6 expression plasmids are kindly provided by Prof. A. García-Sastre (CEIRS program; NIAD Centers of Excellence for Influenza Research and Surveillance; Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York), while plasmid encoding HA-tagged SARS-CoV-2 ORF6 deleted by the last amino-acid (ORF6-∆61) mutant was prepared by standard cloning procedures using a naturally occurring virus variant (GenBank accession numbers OP002141). The ∆61 ORF6 coding sequence was amplified by Reverse-Transcription (RT)-Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) from viral RNA purified by using the QIAamp viral RNA mini kit (Qiagen, Milan, Italy) and cloned in the pCAGGS-MCS plasmid, in frame with a C-terminal HA-tag, at the EcoRI and XhoI unique sites. Recombinant plasmids are verified by sequencing. The pARE reporter plasmids encoding Firefly luciferase downstream of the Antioxidant Responsive Elements (ARE) and the Renilla luciferase downstream of the constitutively active SV40 promoter (pSV40-RL) are purchased from Promega (Milan, Italy). The plasmid encoding FLAG-tagged NRF2 was a gift from Randall Moon (Addgene plasmid #36971).

STAT3 Regulation of CCL2 Promoter Activity

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
293 T cells were plated at 60-70% confluence in 24-well plates and transiently transfected with 1 μg of different fragments of CCL2 promoter-connected luciferase reporter constructs together with expression plasmids for STAT3 using FuGENE 6 transfection reagent (Roche Applied Science). Empty pcDNA3.1 vector was used as a control. Firefly luciferase activity was normalized to that of Renilla luciferase, which were cotransfected under the control of the SV40 early enhancer/promoter region (pSV40-RL, Promega).

Constructing GNAQ Mutant Plasmids

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For the construction of the GNAQ mutant-expressing plasmid, the human GNAQ TrueORF Gold cDNA clone was purchased from Origene (Rockville, MD). This clone contains the full-length open reading frame of GNAQ with His-DDK tags at the 3’ end in a pCMV6-Entry vector. The tags were removed by PCR amplification using a 5’ primer outside of the ribosome binding site and the Kozak sequence while adding a BamH1 site (5’-GTCGACTGGATCCGGTACCGAGGAGATC-3’) and a 3’ primer designed to stop transcription at the correct site while adding an Mlu1 site (5’-AGGACTTACGCGTTCATTAGACCAGATTGTACTCCTTC-3’). The full-length GNAQ without the tags was directionally cloned into a pCMV6 vector through digestion with BamH1 and Mlu1. The following mutations were introduced separately into GNAQ using site-directed mutagenesis: c.548G>A (p.R183Q), c.626A>T (p.Q209L), c.626A>G (p.Q209R), and c.27C>A (p.C9X) (premature termination codon). All point mutations and the fidelity of the full-length clones were confirmed by Sanger sequencing. The reporter plasmids used for the luciferase assay were the serum response element plasmid (pSRE)–Luc (Agilent, Santa Clara, CA) and pSV40-RL (Promega, Madison, WI).

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.
