Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A LINC00472 transcript (2933 bp, NR_026807.1) was assembled and inserted in a lentiviral vector, pCDH-EF1-MCS-pA-PGK-copGFP-T2A-Puro (pCDH), as previously described (13 (link)). The sequence of the insert has been confirmed by sequencing. MB231 and Hs578T cells were transfected with the LINC00472 plasmid or an empty plasmid (pCDH vector only) using the Lipofectamine 3000 reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific) following the manufacturer's protocol. Cells with stable expression of LINC00472 were selected through puromycin screening (Thermo Fisher Scientific). To maintain stably transfected cells, puromycin was added into culture medium, and the puromycin-containing culture medium was replaced every 3 days. A single cell clone was also generated from the stable cell pool through the limiting dilution cloning. Plasmids (pCMV-ESR1) with and without the full-length of human ESR1 (NM_000125, #RC213277) and (pCMV-vector, #PS100001), respectively, were purchased from Origene Technologies, and the plasmids were transfected into the 293T cells and breast cancer cell lines using the Lipofectamine 3000 reagent (Themo Fisher Scientific).

350,000 cells were plated in a p6-well dish and transfected with 1 μg DNA using Lipofectamine3000 reagent (Thermo Scientific). Next day, media was replenished and selected using 1 mg/ml G418 antibiotic until no cells were remaining in non-transfected control. Plasmid transfections were performed using Lipofectamine 3000 reagent (Thermo Scientific) according to manufacturer’s protocol. For the experimental analysis, one clone for each variant was used in multiple cell lines. The clones were chosen based on the relative levels of HA-tag and DVL-1 levels.

Luciferase Assay for HDR Evaluation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Luciferase reporter DNA plasmids for HDR were digested with I-SceI (New England Biolabs, Inc. #R0694) according to I-SceI manufacturer instructions. Digestion was confirmed on a 0.7% agarose gel and then purified using the QIAquick PCR Purification Kit (QIAGEN # 28104). Primary human skin fibroblasts were seeded at 1 × 105 cells per well in a 12-well dish the day before transfection. For experimental conditions, 4 μg of the digested plasmid and 50 ng of a Ranilla plasmid were transfected with Lipofectamine 3000 Reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific) according to manufacturer instructions. For control conditions, 2 μg of a control plasmid and 50 ng of a Renilla plasmid were transfected with Lipofectamine 3000 Reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific) according to manufacturer instructions. Cells were collected and lysed in 1× Passive Lysis Buffer (Promega) 48 hours after transfection. Lysates were run in triplicate in a 96-well plate and analyzed using the Dual-Luciferase® Reporter Assay System (Promega) and a Synergy HT plate reader (BIO-TEK). The percent reactivation was calculated. Experiments were performed at least three times for biological replicates. Each experiment contained technical triplicates per condition. Statistical significance was determined using the unpaired t-test (GraphPad Prism).

Transient transfections had ∼75 000 cells in 500 μl of complete supplemented DMEM media added to each well of a VisiPlate-24 well black plate (PerkinElmer, catalog number: 1450-605) and were first grown for 24 h. After 24 h, 500 ng of total plasmid DNA was added to Opti-MEM™ media (Thermo Fisher Scientific, catalog number: 31985062), P3000 reagent and Lipofectamine 3000 reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific, catalog number: L3000001), outlined in the Lipofectamine 3000 reagent protocol. Transfection solutions were incubated at room temperature for 10 min and added to the cells where mixing occurred by gently shaking. Analysis of all experiments was performed 24–72 h after transfections were completed.

To rescue the CA10 virus, 293 T cells seeded at density of 5 × 105 cells / well into a 6-well plate were grown in Opti-MEM® I reduced serum medium (Gibco, Waltham, MA, USA) without antibiotics for 24 h. The co-transfection mixture, which contained 1 μg pSVA-CA10 DNA, 1.5 μg pLVX-Puro-T7 RNA polymerase DNA, 7.5 μL P3000™ Reagent, 10 μL Lipofectamine™ 3000 Reagent and 250 μL Opti-MEM medium per well was prepared according to Lipofectamine™ 3000 Reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) protocol and inoculated into 293 T cells and incubated for 3 days at 37 °C. The rescued CA10 viruses were harvested by freeze-thawing. The supernatant was then inoculated to RD cells in serum-free DMEM medium. At 24 h post-inoculation, the cells displayed almost 80% cytopathic effect (CPE), suggesting that the co-transfection of pSVA-CA10 DNA with pLVX-Puro-T7 RNA polymerase DNA can produce infectious viruses.

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.
