Lentiviral Knockdown of UHRF1, DNMT1, and DNMT3B

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Target sequences of the short hairpin RNA (shRNA) for UHRF1, DNMT1 and DNMT3B are listed in Supplementary Table 1. The oligonucleotide containing target sequence was inserted into the AgeI/EcoRI site of the pLKO.1-TRC vector (Addgene, Watertown, MA, USA, #8453) according to standard protocols. To produce virus particles, we co-transfected the pLKO.1-TRC vector containing a specific shRNA sequence with the VSV-G envelope expressing plasmid pMD2.G (Addgene, #12259) and lentiviral packaging plasmid psPAX2 (Addgene, #12260) into HEK293T cells. Supernatants, including virus particles, were harvested 2 and 3 days after transfection and were used for viral infection with 8 µg/ml hexadimethrine bromide (Sigma-Aldrich). Twenty-four hours after infection, 1 µg/ml puromycin (Sigma-Aldrich) was used to positively select for infected cells.

ONECUT2 overexpression vector pCMV6-XL5-hONECUT2 was kindly provided by Dr. Merlin Crossley. To construct lentiviral vector of pLKO.1-TRC-shONECUT2, two shRNA oligonucleotides targeting different regions of ONECUT2 were inserted to pLKO.1-TRC vector (10878, Addgene), respectively. Sequences of ONECUT2 shRNAs are listed in Supplementary Table 3. To construct lentiviral vector of pLenti-CMV-Puro-DEST-Flag-ONECUT2, ONECUT2 protein coding DNA sequence was inserted to entry vector pENTR4-FLAG (17423, Addgene) first and then transferred to pLenti-CMV-Puro-DEST (17452, Addgene). pLenti-C-Myc-DDK-P2A-Puro-ONECUT2 (RC211951L3) and pLenti-C-Myc-DDK-P2A-Puro (PS100092) were purchased from OriGene. Lentiviral particle production and infection were performed as described previously46 (link). In brief, lentiviral vectors were co-transfected with psPAX2 and pMD2G vectors into HEK293T cells. Supernatants were collected at 24 and 48 h after transfection and stored in −80 °C. For infection, 5 × 104 cells per well were seeded in six-well plates and infected with lentiviral supernatant on the following day.

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.
