Twenty micrograms of the CBS variant library (in pDEST_HC_Rec_Bxb_V2), along with an equal mass of Bxb1 recombinase (pCAG-NLS-HA-Bxb1) was transfected into three 15-cm dishes of HEK293T LLP iCasp9 Blast cells (passage 18, 65% confluency) using Lipofectamine 3000 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, L3000008), with volumes scaled based on 3.75 µL reagent per 6 wells. Twenty-four hours later, cells were split 1:2 into 15-cm dishes. Forty-eight hours after transfection, at near full confluency, 2 µg/mL doxycycline and 10 nM AP1903 (MedChemExpress, HY-16046), both solubilized in DMSO, were added for negative selection of non-recombined cells. The next day, dead cells were removed and recombined cells were grown out for an additional 2 days with fresh media containing doxycycline and AP1903. Cells were recovered for 1 day by growth in media without doxycycline and AP1903. Transcription was induced with 2 µg/mL doxycycline for 24 h; cells were stimulated with fresh media for 3 h, and then harvested at 95% confluency.

The HEK 293 T TetBxb1BFPiCasp9 Clone 12 cell line that was generated previously38 (link) was grown in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle’s Medium (DMEM) supplemented with 10% v/v fetal bovine serum (FBS) (Sigma Aldrich), 0.24 mg/mL streptomycin sulphate (BioChemica), 0.29 mg/mL penicillin G potassium salt (BioChemica), 0.32 mg/mL L-glutamine (Sigma Aldrich) and 2 µg/mL doxycycline (Sigma-Aldrich). Cells were passaged when they reached 70-80% confluency and were detached with 0.25% trypsin (Gibco). The cells tested negative for mycoplasma. Authentication was performed by regular selection for recombinants with 10 nM of AP1903 (MedChemExpress) (see below) and checking for expression of BFP from the Tet-on promoter in non-recombinant cells.

U2OS cells (ATCC) and HEK293T landing pad cells [38 (link)] were propagated in Dulbecco´s Modified Eagle medium (DMEM), supplemented with 10% bovine serum (Sigma), 5000 IU/mL penicillin, 5 mg/mL streptomycin, 2 mM glutamine and, in the case of HEK293T landing pad cells, 2 μg/mL doxycycline (Dox) (Sigma-Aldrich, D9891), in a humidified atmosphere containing 5% CO2 at 37 °C. Transient transfections were performed with FugeneHD (Promega) in reduced serum medium OptiMEM (Gibco). To generate stable transfectants in the HEK293T landing pad cells, 106 cells in 1 mL DMEM without doxycycline were seeded into 12-well plates. On the next day, the cells were transfected using 0.1 μg of the integrase vector pNLS-Bxb1-recombinase, mixed with 0.4 μg of the pVAMP recombination plasmid, 40 μL OptiMEM and 1.6 μL FugeneHD. Two days after transfection, the cells were treated with 10 nM of AP1903 (MedChemExpress) and 2 μg/mL doxycycline for two days to select for recombinant cells. After another two days of culturing in media with doxycyclin, but without AP1903, the cells were used directly for western blotting, microscopy and flow cytometry.

HEK-293T landing pad cells33 (link) were maintained in glucose free DMEM (Gibco) supplemented with 10% heat inactivated FBS (Gibco), ±1% Pen/Strep, and 10 mM Galactose. On day −1, 500,000 cells with an ‘empty’ landing pad (LP-Neg) cells were plated into 6 well plates in antibiotic free media. On day 0, the cells were transfected with 1 μg of mutant library and 100 μg of Bxb1 expressing plasmid (pCAG–NLS–HA–Bxb1; Addgene #51271, a gift from Pawel Pelczar) in triplicate. On day 1, the cells were replated into 60 mm TC dishes with antibiotic containing media and gene expression was induced with 1 μg/mL doxycycline. On day 3, cells were treated with 100 μg/mL Blasticidin S (Gibco) and 10 nM AP1903 (MedChemExpress) to select for cells which expressed the transgene and had undergone successful integration; selection was continued for 7 days. On day 10, HEK-293-integrated cells were plated into 6 well TC plates and treated with DMSO, Apop A, Ammo A at various concentrations (final DMSO concentration 0.25% v/v). Selective pressure was applied for two rounds of 4 days of exposure to each compound, followed by 3 days for recovery in glycomacrolide free media. After selection, surviving cells were allowed to expand until confluent at which point genomic DNA was extracted using the Qiagen DNeasy Blood & Tissue Kit.

The barcoded PRKN library was recombined into the Tet-on landing pad in the HEK 293T TetBxb1BFPiCasp9 Clone 12 cell line. To this end, 3.5×106 cells were seeded in 10 cm plates and left to grow overnight in media with no doxycycline. After 24 hours, 7.1 μg of the PRKN library plasmid and 0.48 μg of pCAG-NLS-Bxb1 (17.5:1 molar ratio) were diluted with OptiMEM (Thermo Fisher Scientific) to a total volume of 710 μL in an Eppendorf tube. In a second Eppendorf tube, 28.5 μL of Fugene HD (Promega) was added to 685 μL OptiMEM (Thermo Fisher Scientific). The OptiMEM solution containing Fugene HD was added to the DNA/OptiMEM tube. The transfection mix was then added to the seeded cells in a 10 cm dish. About 48 hours, 2 µg/mL doxycycline and 10 nM of AP1903 (MedChemExpress) was added to the cells.

Quantitative Analysis of Aire-Induced Gene Expression

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
293 T, 4D6 cells or 4D6 stable cells + 0.2–1 μg/ml doxycycline were seeded in a 12-well plate format; cells were harvested 48 h post-transfection or post-induction, respectively. Total RNA was isolated using Direct-zol RNA mini prep kit (Zymo Research) and reverse-transcribed using SuperScript II (Life Technologies) with oligo(dT18). qPCR was performed using Power SYBR Green PCR Master Mix (Invitrogen) on a CFX-Connect detection system (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA) with Bio-Rad CFX Manager 3.1 software. The expression of Aire-induced genes was normalized against that of the Aire-independent gene GAPDH using the ∆∆Ct method. HPRT1 (Aire-independent gene control) was also normalized against GAPDH. The qPCR primer sequences are listed in Supplementary Table 2.
For MG132 and AP1903 treatments, after 16 h of transient transfection, the cell media was replaced with DMEM supplemented with 1% FBS, 1% L-glutamine with DMSO, 10 μM MG132 or 5 μM AP1903 (MedChemExpress). For AP1903-treated cells, 3–4 h later, 9% more FBS was supplemented into the media. Cells were harvested 16 h after MG132 or AP1903 treatments.

Induction of Apoptosis in iPSCs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
iPSCs were cultured in E8 Flex medium for 2 to 4 days in 24‐well, 12‐well, and/or 6‐well plates (Corning) when cell density reached ∼0.15 × 106/cm2 and then exposed to 10 or 50 nM AP1903 (Medchemexpress, Cat. HY‐16046) for the desired amount of time. All cells in each well at the time point were collected and stained with annexin V (AnV) and 7‐amino‐actinomycin D (7‐AAD) (Enzo Life Sciences, Cat. ENZ‐51002‐100) for 15 minutes following the manufacturer's instructions. Cells were then quantified and analyzed by flow cytometry (Attune NxT, Thermo Fisher Scientific) and Flowjo Software. The dead cells were quantified using 100% minus the percent AnV/7‐AAD cells in the FSC/SSC gated region after doublet removal. The real percentage of total dead cells in the AP1903 treated condition at some time points could be even higher since majority of the cells became debris and were not included in calculation (Figure 3E,F).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The cDNA of wild-type PRKN or PRKN variants studied in low-throughput were purchased from Genscript. Single PRKN variants were integrated into the Tet-on landing pad in the HEK 293T TetBxb1BFPiCasp9 Clone 12 cell line. First, 3.5 × 106 cells were seeded in 10 cm plates and left to grow overnight in media with no doxycycline. After 24 hours, 3 μg of the PRKN plasmid and 1 μg of pCAG-NLS-Bxb1 (9:1 molar ratio) were added in 400 μL of OptiMEM (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Then, 14 μL of Fugene HD (Promega) was added to the DNA/OptiMEM mixture before adding the entire transfection mix to the seeded cells. About 48 hours after this transfection 2 µg/mL doxycycline and 10 nM of AP1903 (MedChemExpress) was added to the cells, to activate gene expression from the Tet-on promoter and induce apoptosis in cells without recombination at the landing pad locus, respectively.

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.
