Scrambled shrna

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States

Scrambled shRNA is a laboratory tool used to generate RNA interference (RNAi) constructs. It serves as a negative control in RNAi experiments, as it does not target any known gene. This allows researchers to distinguish the effects of specific gene silencing from non-specific or off-target effects.

S1R was knocked down using lenti-virus-mediated shRNA expression in hippocampal neurons. Plasmids encoding MISSION® shRNA targeting mouse S1R (clone ID: NM_011014.2–1138s21c1; sequence: CCGGCCTGTAGTAATCTCTGGTGAACTCGAGTTCACCAGAGATTACTACAGGTTTTTG) or scrambled shRNA were from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, Mo., USA). For overexpression of S1R, cDNA for the human S1R (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/NM_005866.3) was subcloned into the lenti-viral vector using EcoRI and BamHI restriction sites. Plasmids were produced and purified using a Maxi-prep (NucleoBond Xtra kit; Macherey-Nagel), sequenced and lenti-viruses were prepared as described above. 100 μl of the collected lenti-virus media was added to each well of neuron cultures on DIV7. Functional analyses in the mushroom spine loss assay and nSOC imaging assay as well as prior Western blotting experiments (Fisher et al., 2016 (link)) validated the efficacy of the constructs.

Stable Knockdown of NR4A Genes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Stable knockdown of human NR4A2, NR4A3, and murine NR4A2 was achieved with the transduction of shRNA using a Mission™ Lentiviral packaging mix as per instructions (Sigma-Aldrich) using THP-1. For controls, cells were transduced with scrambled shRNA (Sigma-Aldrich). Briefly, for THP-1 cells, 150 µl of cells from a stock concentration of 2.5 × 105 cells/ml were pipetted into a 96-well plate; for Raw mac 264.7 cells, 250 µl of cells from a stock concentration of 1.5 × 105 cells/ml were pipetted into a 24-well plate and both were incubated overnight. Hexadimethrine bromide was added to a final concentration of 8 µg/ml followed by the addition of 10 µl of lentiviral particles and subsequent incubation for 48 h in a tissue culture incubator at 37°C. Subsequent to this, puromycin was added to the cells (5 µg/ml), and medium was changed every 3–4 days until resistant colonies were identified and subsequently expanded. Western blotting was used to confirm knockdown levels for human THP-1 cells and qRT-PCR was used for murine Raw mac 264.7.

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.
