Capped mRNA Microinjection for Zebrafish

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Capped messenger RNAs encoding the dominant negative NF-YA (NF-YA DN;
[32 (link)]), dominant negative Pbx4
(PBCAB; [33 (link)]) proteins were generated
from 2μg of Notl-digested linearized pCS2+ plasmids using the
mMessage mMachine SP6 Transcription Kit (ThermoFisher Scientific) according
to the manufacturer’s guidelines. The RNA was purified using the
RNeasy column with DNase treatment (Qiagen) according to the
manufacturer’s guidelines. RNA quality was assessed on a 1% agarose
gel and its concentration was measured on a NanoDrop instrument. 300pg of
RNA injection mix containing water and 0.1% phenol red was injected into
zebrafish embryos at the 1-cell stage. Injected embryos were raised to the
proper stage according to animal care guidelines.

Whole-Mount in situ Hybridization for Xenopus Nrf2

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Nrf2 sequences were retrieved from the NCBI and Xenbase (http://www.xenbase.org, accessed on 9 February 2022) databases. Following PCR amplification, fragments of Nrf2 were cloned into the PCS107 plasmid. The plasmids were then linearized using BamHI and the mMACHINE SP6 Transcription Kit (Thermo Fisher, Waltham, MA, USA) was used to synthesize the DIG-labeled antisense fragment. Three normal live embryos in the control and 25 μmol/L groups were randomly selected from each dish for WISH at stages 19, 32, and 38 (nine samples per treatment group per stage). Then, the embryos were fixed in MEMFA (0.1 mol/L MOPS, 2 mmol/L EGTA, 1 mmol/L MgSO4, 3.7% formaldehyde, pH 7.4) for 1–2 h at room temperature and completely dehydrated using different grades of absolute ethanol. WISH was performed according to a previously described procedure [27 (link)]. Alkaline phosphatase (AP)-coupled anti-DIG antibody was used to recognize the DIG-labeled probe. Staining was conducted in BM Purple (Roche) at 37 °C. The embryos were observed under a stereomicroscope (SteREO Discovery. V8, Carl Zeiss, Jena, Germany), and the images were taken using a digital camera (AxioCam MRc, Carl Zeiss, Jena, Germany).

Capped RNAs were generated from the CHIKV-D-Luc-SGR for transfection using the mMACHINE SP6 transcription kit (ThermoFisher Scientific) and purified with PureLink RNA Mini Kit (Life Technologies). Routinely 0.5 μg CHIKV-D-Luc-SGR was transfected into 106 cells using Lipofectamine 2000 (Life Technologies) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. At 4, 12, 24 and 48 h post transfection (h.p.t.), cells were harvested and both Renilla and Firefly luciferase activity measured using the Dual-luciferase Assay System (Promega) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Each sample had three repeats and the data shown in this study represent the mean of three experimental replicates (n = 3).

TULP3 Variant Overexpression in Zebrafish

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Wild-type and K316Q/K389Q variant human TULP3 sequences were cloned and ligated into pCS2+ vectors. Following linearization with NotI (NEB), mRNA was transcribed using the mMachine SP6 Transcription Kit (Invitrogen) and purified using Amicon Ultra-0.5 Centrifugal Filter columns (Ultracel-50; Fisher/Millipore). Wild-type zebrafish embryos were injected with either 100 pg of wild-type TULP3 or the K316Q/K389Q mutant TULP3 mRNA at the one-cell stage. gfp mRNA was prepared as above and used as a negative control.

CRISPR-Cas13d Mediated Zebrafish Knockout

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Briefly, 3 guide RNAs (gRNAs) were designed to disrupt the kmt2d gene in zebrafish with the following sequences: gRNA1: CTCAGCAGAGCTTGGCTGGGAGG; gRNA2: CGGCCTATCAAAACTGAACCTGG; gRNA3: CTGCTAAGCTCCTCTTCGCTGGG.
A DNA template to generate gRNA mRNA was generated by fill-in PCR. For RNA synthesis, PCR amplicons were purified and used as templates using T7 RNA polymerase (MAXIscript T7 Kit, Invitrogen) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Cas13d were PCR-amplified using primers (Cas13d-SP6-kozak-F: 5′- ATTTAGGTGACACTATAGAAGTGCCGCCACCATGAGCCCCAAGAAGAAG-3′ and Cas13d-WPRE-R: 5′-ATTGCTACTTGTGATTGCTCCATG-3′) and also using addgene plasmid # 109049 (a gift from Pr. Lisa Li) as the template. Then, the Cas13d mRNA was synthesized using the mMACHINE SP6 Transcription Kit (Invitrogen). To increase mRNA depletion, the 3 gRNAs targeting the kmt2d gene were co-injected. One nanoliter containing 200 ng of Cas13d mRNA and 100 ng of gRNA mRNA were co-injected into the 1-cell stage zebrafish embryos.

Control (non-targeting) and tgs1 morpholino oligonucleotides (MOs) were purchased from (GeneTools, LLC) using the tgs1 XM_003197865.5 sequence as reference. MO sequences are reported in Supplementary Table S11. For TGS1 mRNA injection, human TGS1 cDNA (NM_001317902) was cloned into an N-terminal flag-pCS2 + mRNA expression vector. In vitro transcription of 5′-capped mRNAs was performed using the mMACHINE SP6 Transcription Kit (Ambion) following the manufacturer's protocol and as previously described in (33 (link),34 (link)). Embryos from TL/EK wild-type crossings were used to visualize the CaP-MN phenotype. Embryos were injected with the respective dose of MOs or mRNA in an aqueous solution containing 0.05% PhenolRed and 0.05% Rhodamine-Dextran (Sigma-Aldrich). At 6–7 h after injection, embryos were sorted according to homogeneity of the rhodamine fluorescence signal.

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.
