ATP6AP2 knockdown and bafilomycin effects

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
105 cells/2 ml medium were preincubated in six‐well plates for 2 days to reach 80% cell density before down‐regulation of ATP6AP2 or incubation with bafilomycin 1A (Enzo Life Science, Lörrach, Germany). For microscopy, 104 cells/0.7 ml medium were seeded in four‐chamber cover slides and preincubated for 2 days.
For ATP6AP2 knock‐down, transfection was performed for 6 hrs with a siGENOME SMART pool siRNA against ATP6AP2 mRNA or scrambled control siRNA (Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc, Schwerte, Germany) in a final concentration of 40 nmol/l using Metafectene Pro (Biontex, Planegg/Martinsried, Germany) as transfection reagent. Time‐dependent down‐regulation was validated by qRT‐PCR and Western blot analyses.
Bafilomycin 1A was added to the cells for 1 day in a final concentration of 1 μmol/l. For these experiments, an additional control with 1% DMSO was used.

RNAi Experiments for Targeted Silencing

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Primary RNAi experiments were performed using siGENOME SMARTpool siRNA (Thermo Scientific). Secondary validation of silencing phenotypes was conducted with individual siRNA oligonucleotides of siGENOME or ON-TARGETplus design (Thermo Scientific), or pooled siRNA from FlexiTube GeneSolution (QIAGEN). Details of individual siRNA sequences as well as non-targeting/negative control siRNA used for normalization and statistical comparisons are provided as supplementary information (tables S6 and S7). Transfections were carried out with Lipofectamine RNAiMAX according to manufacturer’s instructions. Cells were transfected with siRNA at a final concentration of 10 nM (siGENOME), 15 nM (QIAGEN) or 25 nM (ON-TARGETplus) 72 hours prior to assaying the impact of silencing.

Knockdown of Calcium Channel Genes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A2780-SP cells (5 × 105 cell/mL) were layered on ultra-low attachment 6-well plates. After seeding the cells, they were transfected with siGENOME SMARTpool siRNA against CACNA1D, CACNA1F, CACNA1H, and non-specific control siRNA (each 100 nM, Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA) using Lipofectamin RNAiMax transfection reagent (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. After 72 h of transfection, RNA was extracted and reverse transcribed into cDNA. The cDNA was confirmed via knockdown of GAPDH-normalized CACNA1D, CACNA1F, and CACNA1H at each gene level using quantitative real-time PCR.

SCC-61 and MDA-MB-231 cells were cultured as described previously as well as KD of ROCK1 and ROCK2 with siGENOME SMARTpool siRNA (ThermoScientific) to maximize inhibition while minimizing off-target effects as well as any possible compensatory effects.34-36 KDs were confirmed with Western blotting as described previously.35 A double KD experiment was previously performed to confirm that compensation was not occurring between the ROCK isoforms.35

Knockdown was performed according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Briefly, 100,000 cells were seeded into each well of a 24 well tissue culture plate. After 24 hrs the cells were transfected with 2 μL of Dharmafect 4 transfection reagent (Thermo Scientific) and 0.05 μM of siGenome SMARTpool siRNA (M-011796-02 for YY1) and harvested after a further 72 hrs.

YBX1 Knockdown Regulates Gene Expression

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HEK293T cells were first transfected with control or YBX1 siRNA (Dharmacon, siGENOME SMARTpool siRNA) using Lipofectamine RNAiMAX (Thermo Fisher Scientific). 24 hr later, eYFP and mCherry reporter, rtTA expression vector, and pri-miRNA expression plasmids were subsequently cotransfected using TransIT-LT1 (Mirus). 4 hr after the second transfection, HEK293T cells were treated with 1 μg/ml doxycycline (Sigma). 48 hr after the second transfection, flow cytometry analysis was carried out with BD FACS Celesta (BD Biosciences). Data collection was performed using FACS Diva Version 8.0.1. FlowJo version 10.4.1. and R was used for data analysis. After selection of single cell populations by sequential gating by SSC and FSC (Extended Data Fig. 10d), we analyzed about 20,000 eYFP-positive cells (P3 population in Extended Data Fig. 10d). Each experiment included non-transfection controls. The eYFP and mCherry signals of each cell were background normalized by subtracting the mean value plus two standard deviation of signal in non-transfected samples, and binned by eYFP signal levels, as previously described40 (link).

Efficient Gene Silencing using siRNA

Gene silencing was achieved using Dharmacon siGENOME smart pool siRNA using non-targeting siRNA as control (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Lafayette, CO) at a concentration of 100 nM for HCT116 and 25nM for BEAS-2B cells. SiRNA transfections were performed using Dharmafect 4 transfection reagent according to manufacturer instructions. A minimum 90% decrease in all target genes expression was achieved as verified by real-time PCR (Fig. 1A-C). Transfection of siRNA alone had no effect on basal IFN-β gene expression (Fig. 1D).

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.
