In general, OMVs were isolated following a procedure with minor adaptations20 (link). Bacteria were cultured overnight in RPMI 1640 (10-041-CV, Corning) with or without 10% FBS (10099141C, Thermofisher) at 30 °C, unless stated otherwise. The FBS was pre-cleared by ultracentrifugation (250,000 g, 4 °C,3 h) to remove native vesicles and filtered through a 0.22 μm filter (SLGPR33RB, Merck) before use. Bacterial cultures were centrifuged at 4,000 rpm for 20 min, the supernatants were sequentially filtered through a 0.45 μm filter (SLHP033RS, Merck) and a 0.22 μm filter (SLGPR33RB, Merck). The OMVs in the filtered supernatant were pelleted through subsequent ultracentrifugation (250,000 g, 4 °C,1 h) in 26 ml ultracentrifuge tubes (355654, Beckman) using a Backman 70Ti rotor. OMV pellets were washed in PBS and ultracentrifuge again. Washed OMV pellets were resuspend in 1.5 ml PBS (for quantification and biochemistry tests) or RPMI 1640 medium (for Plasmodium culture tests).

HEK293T cells were transfected with the plasmids encoding gag‐pol (psPAX2), VSV‐G(pMD2 G), and the plasmid containing the gene of interest (pRRL‐pUbC‐mNPHP3‐bPAC‐mCherry‐HA) using GeneJuice (Merck, #70967) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The medium was exchanged to 30% FCS medium after 24 h. Two days post transfection, the supernatant was harvested and sterile‐filtered with a 0.45 μm filter (Merck, #SLHP033RS). Target cells were transduced by overnight exposure to a 1:2 mix of the harvested, filtered supernatant and growth medium, supplemented with 4 µg/ml of Polybrene (Sigma Aldrich, #H9268).

The NKD2-specific guide RNA (forward 5′-CACCGACTCCAGTGCGATGTCTCGG -3′; reverse 5′-AAACCCGAGACATCGCACTGGAGTC -3′) were cloned into pL-CRISPR.EFS.GFP (Addgene #57818) using BsmBI restriction digestion. Lentiviral particles were produced by transient co transfection of HEK293T cells with lentiviral transfer plasmid, packaging plasmid psPAX2 (Addgene #12260) and VSVG packaging plasmid pMD2.G (Addgene #12259) using TransIT-LT (Mirus). Viral supernatants were collected 48-72 hours after transfection, clarified by centrifugation, supplemented with 10% FCS and Polybrene (Sigma-Aldrich, final concentration of 8μg/ml) and 0.45μm filtered (Millipore; SLHP033RS). Cell transduction was performed by incubating the PDGFRß cells with viral supernatants for 48hrs. eGFP expressing cells were single cell sorted into 96-well plates. Expanded colonies were assessed for mutations with mismatch detection assay: gDNA spanning the CRISPR target site was PCR amplified and analyzed by T7EI digest (T7 Endonuclease, NEB M0302S). To determine specific mutation events on both alleles within the clones grown, the PCR product was subcloned into the pCR™ 4Blunt-TOPO vector (Thermo Scientific K287520). Minimum 6 colonies per CRISPR-clone were grown and sent for sanger sequencing (Clone C2: 30 colonies have been sequenced).

CRISPR-Cas9 Gene Editing of PAG1 in SH-SY5Y Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
CRISPR/Cas9 plasmids and sgRNAs targeting Exon 5 and 7 of the PAG1 gene were provided by Blake Wiedenheft and Royce Wilkinson (Montana State University). sgRNA sequences were housed in the lentiviral Cas9/sgRNA vector (Addgene #57828).
Exon 5 sgRNA: 5′-GAAGCCGCGACAGCATAGTG GGG-3′.
Exon 7 sgRNA: 5′-GCAGATCCGAGGCCGATGTC TGG-3′.
The plasmid carrying Cas9/sgRNA was cotransfected into HEK293FT cells with the lentiviral packaging vectors psPAX2 (Addgene #12260) and VSV-g (Addgene #8454) following the Lipofectamine 3000 protocol (ThermoFisher) to generate lentivirus. Supernatants containing lentivirus were filtered through a low-protein-binding syringe filter (0.45 μm, Millipore #SLHP033RS) before transductions. SH-SY5Y cells were transduced with different dilutions of virus-containing supernatant, and transfected cells were selected for by Puromycin (3 μg/ml) addition to culture media. Pools of puromycin-resistant cells were analyzed by Western blot for PAG1 expression, and those lacking PAG1 were characterized further. DNA surrounding the target site was amplified by PCR; PCR products were sequenced by Eurofins. While PAG1 expression appeared to be ablated in initial screens, we subsequently noted a truncated, soluble protein expressed in these cells (described in Results).

TMEM131 Knockdown in Osteosarcoma U2OS Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human TMEM131 knockdown in osteosarcoma U2OS cells was carried out with lentiviral shRNA (Sigma-Aldrich, SHCLNG-NM_015348). The TMEM131 shRNA targeting sequences are as follows: 5′-TAGCAGTTTCTCACCTATAAT-3′ [TRCN0000257459, CDS (coding sequence)], 5′-ATTATGCGCCAAGATCTAATT-3′ (TRCN0000246000, 3′UTR), 5′-TCCAATTGAGTTGGCTATAAA-3′ (TRCN0000246001, CDS), 5′-CTCGGACCCTTGGTCTAATTC-3′ (TRCN0000246002, CDS), 5′-CATAGATTGAGTGCTATATTT-3′ (TRCN0000246003, CDS). HEK293T was transfected by the pMD2.G, psPAX2, and shRNA plasmids, following the lentivirus production methods and manuals of TurboFect Transfection Reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific, R0531). The lentivirus-based GFP-specific shRNAs were used as negative controls (Addgene, 31849). Forty-eight hours later, the TMEM131 shRNA lentivirus–containing media were collected and filtrated by a 0.45-μm syringe filter (Millipore EMD, SLHP033RS). The osteosarcoma U2OS cells were incubated with TMEM131 shRNA lentivirus medium for 24 hours in a humidified incubator at 37°C with 5% CO2. Transduction efficacy was enhanced by adding Polybrene (Sigma-Aldrich, TR-1003-G). Lentivirus-transduced cells were enriched by the medium with puromycin selection (1.5 μg/ml) for 3 days. Ascorbates were exogenously supplemented to ensure proper collagen modification. The knockdown efficiency of TMEM131 shRNA was evaluated by qRT-PCR.

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.
