We obtained siGENOME ON-TARGETplus SMARTpool human GnRH-I receptor siRNA, human EGF siRNA, human Twist siRNA, human N-cadherin siRNA, and siCONTROL NON-TARGETINGpool siRNA from Dharmacon (Lafayette, CO, USA). We transfected the cells with siRNA (100 nM) using Lipofectamine RNAiMAX. After a 24 h transfection, the medium was removed and changed to a fresh serum-free medium. Cells were transfected with 100 nM si-GLO (Dharmacon) for 24 h, and the siRNA transfection efficiency was verified via fluorescent microscopy.

wtKSHV-infected or uninfected TIVE cells were plated in 96-well plates (20,000 cells/well for MTS assay) and 48-well plates (250,000 cells/well for wound healing assay). Uninfected and wtKSHV-infected iSLK cells were plated in 96-well plates (8000 cells/well for MTS assay). siRNAs (5nM or 10 nM) against UCA1 (Qiagen) were transfected using Lipofectamine RNAiMAX reagent (ThermoFisher) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. ON-TARGETplus Non-targeting Control siRNA (Dharmacon) was used as the scrambled negative control. At 4 h post-transfection, the serum free medium was replaced by complete Medium-199 (TIVE) or DMEM (iSLK). Comparable transfection efficiencies were ensured by co-transfection of siGLO (Dharmacon).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Small-interfering-RNA knockdown of Foxm1 was performed in NSCs with ON-TARGETplus SMARTpool (L-057933-01-0005), control ON-TARGETplus Non-targeting siRNA knockdown (D-001810-02-05) (Dharmacon). Hiperfect reagent (Qiagen) was used for transfections. Cells were harvested for assay 72 h post-transfection. Transfection efficiency was > 80%, monitored using the fluorescent control SiGLO (Dharmacon) and calculated as the percentage of fluorescent cells. All experiments were performed using the using the best knockdown efficiency without off-target effects, controlled using three different housekeeping genes (ß−2-microglobulin, Hprt and Gusb) for RNA studies and using Actin or Hsp70 for immunoblots.
Knockdown of miRNA expression was done with miRCURY LNA™ miRNA inhibitor (Exiqon, miR-130b-5p: code 4101000-011; miR-301a-5p: code 4101560-011, miR-15b-3p: code 4101249-011, miR-19a-3p: code 4101300-101), individually or in combination, and a scrambled control, referred to as LNA ctrl (Exiqon mirCURY knockdown probe control A: code 199002-08) (Exiqon). Hiperfect reagent (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) was used to transfect the siRNA constructs into NSCs. The final concentrations were 10 nM (for single transfection) and 50 nM (for combination transfections). miRCURY LNA™ miRNA inhibitors are conjugated with fluorescent labels for monitoring of transfection efficiency and efficiency rate was 90%.

Transfection with siRNA was performed as described [31 (link)]. In brief, cells were cultured at a low density to ensure log phase growth. For transfection, 2 × 106 cells were resuspended in 200 μL RPMI 1640 without phenol red. Shortly before transfection, TRPM2 or nontargeting siRNA was added at a concentration of 1 μM. TRPM2 ON-TARGET SMARTpool and the siCONTROL NON-TARGETING pool siRNA were purchased from Dharmacon (Chicago, IL, USA). Cells were electroporated in a 4 mm cuvette in an EPI2500 electroporator (Fischer, Heidelberg, Germany) at 370 V for 10 ms. Immediately after transfection, cells were resuspended in 6 mL prewarmed medium and continued to be cultured as described above. Transfection efficiency as well as viability was determined by transfecting the cells with 400 nM green fluorescence siRNA (siGLO from Dharmacon, Chicago, IL, USA) followed by propidium iodide exclusion dye and flow cytometric analysis.

Fifty thousand HEK 293T cells were seeded on DPL‐coated cover slips (Millipore Sigma, P7280‐5MG). The cells were transfected with siGLO (Dharmacon, D‐001610‐01‐05) at a 10 nM concentration in 1 ml of media using RNAiMAX, INTERFERin or JETPRIME as recommended for a well of a 12 well plate. Media was changed 24 h after transfection. Cells were fixed 6 and 48 h after transfection with 4% PFA in PBS for 10 min at room temperature. Cover slips were washed with 1X PBS thrice then stored at 4°C. Cover slips were washed twice with 1X PBS then incubated with 300 μl purified mouse antihuman CD63 antibody (1:100) (BD Pharmingen, 556019) in 1% BSA 0.25% Triton X‐100 in 1X PBS overnight at 4°C in the dark. The following day, the cover slips were washed twice with 1X PBS then incubated with 300 μl goat anti‐mouse Alexa 488 (1:500, Thermo Fisher Scientific, A11029) in 1% BSA 0.25% Triton X‐100 in 1X PBS for 1 h at 4°C. Then, cover slips were washed twice with 1X PBS and mounted with VECTASHEILD solution (Vector Laboratories Inc, H‐1200) and sealed. Images were acquired using a ZEISS Axio Imager 2 equipped with a 63X Plan‐Apochromat 1.4 Oil lens, an AxioCam mRC detector and the ZEN 2.3 analysis software. Filter sets utilised include Blue (Excitation 390/22 nm, Emission 460/50 nm), Green (Excitation 470/20 nm, Emission 517/25 nm), and Red (Excitation 560/40 nm, Emission 690/50 nm).

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.
