Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
H460 cells were obtained from ATCC® (NCI-H460; Gaithersburg, MD). p53 knockout H460 cells (H460crp53) were generated as described elsewhere (36 ). Briefly, cells were co-transfected (3 × 106 cells in 10-cm dish) with 1 μg CRISPR-Cas9 plasmid targeting the p53 loci and 1 μg of a homology-directed repair plasmid for p53 (both from Santa Cruz Biotechnology® Inc., Santa Cruz, CA). Cells were transfected using PolyJet™ reagent (SignaGen Laboratories, Rockville, MD) following the manufacturer’s guidelines. After 72 h, cells were exposed to 2.5 μg/ml puromycin with daily media exchanges to replenish the selection agent. After all cells transfected with 1 μg of a control CRISPR/Cas9 plasmid (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc.) were killed (~96 h), the cells were allowed to recover and grow as individual colonies, which were then selected and examined for expression of p53 by Western blotting. shATG5 H460 cells were generated as described below. Mission shRNA bacterial stocks for ATG5 were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO). Lentiviruses were produced in HEK 293TN cells co-transfected using EndoFectin™ Lenti Transfection Reagent (GeneCopoeia, Rockville, MD) with a packaging mixture of psPAX2 and pMD2.G constructs (Addgene, Cambridge, MA). Media containing the viruses was used to infect the H460 cells.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
H460 NSCLC cells were obtained from ATCC (NCI-H460). p53 knockout H460
were generated by co-transfecting cells (3×106 in 10 cm dish)
with 1 μg CRISPR-Cas9 plasmids targeting the p53 loci (Santa Cruz
Biotechnologies; cat #sc-416469) and 1 μg a homology directed repair
plasmid (Santa Cruz, cat. #sc-416469-HDR) expressing a puromycin selection
marker. Cells were transfected using PolyJet reagent (Signagen) following the
manufacturer’s guidelines. After 72 hr, cells were exposed to 2.5
μg/mL puromycin with daily media exchanges to replenish the selection
agent. After all cells in control plates were killed (96 h), puromycin was
removed and the cells allowed to recover and grow as individual colonies, which
were then individually selected and examined for expression of p53. For the
generation of shATG5 H460 cells, Mission shRNA bacterial stocks for ATG5 were
purchased from Sigma Aldrich. Lentiviruses were produced in HEK 293TN cells
co-transfected using EndoFectin Lenti Transfection Reagent
(GeneCopoeia, 1001–01) with a packaging mixture of psPAX2 and pMD2.G
constructs (Addgene). The media including viruses were used to infect H460
cells.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Pulmonary broblasts were quickly transfected with CRISPR/Cas9 plasmids according to the manufacturer's protocol (Santa Cruz®) to delete/upregulate ZC3H4 and observe its downstream effects.
The western blotting assay was used to determine the transfection e ciency. In brief, 24-well plates were used for cell seeding (2x10 5 cells /well), and the cells reached 40-80% con uency. The medium was changed to 200 µl fresh antibiotic-free growth medium, and solutions A and B were added as follows. For solution A, transfection reagent (1 μl) was poured into plasmid transfection medium (9 μl), and for solution B, plasmid DNA (1 μl) was poured into plasmid transfection medium (9 μl). After 5 min, solution A was poured dropwise directly into solution B; the sample was then immediately vortexed and incubated at room temperature for >20 min. The mixed solution was added dropwise to 200 μl of the medium in the 24-well plate, and the contents of the well were mixed by swirling the plate gently. The medium was added or replaced when necessary 12 hr after transfection. The pulmonary broblast cells were incubated for an additional 24-72 hr to conduct further experiments.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HCT-116 cells were plated at 15000 cells/3 mL/well on 6-well plates (Corning) and cultured overnight. The next day, the cells were transfected with 1 μg of SDHB clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas9 knockout plasmid (Santa Cruz) and SDHB homology directed repair (HDR) plasmid (Santa Cruz) or a control CRISPR/Cas9 plasmid (Santa Cruz) using Lipofectamine 2000 (Thermo Fisher Scientific) as described by the manufacturer. After forty-eight hours post transfection, cells were selected with 2 μg/μL of puromycin (Sigma) for 1 week. Cells transfected with the SDHB knockout plasmid were collected as SDHB knockout polyclonal cells. Cells were cloned by limited dilution on 96-well plates (Corning), and cloned cells were collected for analysis of protein expression and genome copy number of SDHB. After transfection of SDHB knockout plasmid, 1 mM sodium pyruvate (Gibco) and 50 μg/ml of uridine (Sigma) were added to the culture medium described above because cells that lack a functional mitochondrial electron transport chain such as ρ0 cells fail to proliferate without supra-physiological levels of uridine and pyruvate in the culture medium [28 (link)].

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For deleting Sp110 in Jurkat T cells, 2 × 106 cells/condition were transfected with an individually designed CRISPR/Cas9 plasmid (Santa Cruz Biotechnology Inc., Dallas, TX, USA), encoding for a specific guide RNA, the Cas9 nuclease, and a P2A-linked GFP. After 24 h, cells were sorted based on GFP fluorescence and subsequently seeded into 96-well plates via the single cell sort function of an Aria 5-laser sorting cytometer (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA). Cells were then expanded by incubation in tissue culture medium for 2–3 weeks. Messenger RNAwas isolated from individual clones and incubated with reverse transcriptase and oligo(dT) primers to prepare complementary DNA (cDNA). Sp110 cDNA of individual clones was then amplified by PCR and sequenced by Sanger sequencing. Sequencing was used to identify a Jurkat T cell clone that contained a frameshift insertion within Sp110, and these cells were tested by flow cytometry for expression of Sp110 and were subsequently used for Sp110 reconstitution experiments.
