Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
NB4 cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 medium (Gibco/BRL) supplemented with 10% FBS. Lentiviral vectors designed to express human TβRII siRNA or TβRII splice variants (Mu), and negative control vectors were constructed with the aid of Shanghai GeneChem. The siRNA sequences targeting TβRII were designed to silence both endogenous TβRII splice variants using an Invitrogen Neon Transfection System (MPK5000). A double-stranded oligonucleotide encoding the shRNA sequence, a mismatched siRNA mutant, and sequences encoding the two TβRII splice variants (Mu) tagged with green fluorescent protein (GFP) were annealed and inserted into the pGC-LV expression vector (Invitrogen). The siRNA and TβRII splice variant (Mu) expression vectors (pGC-LV), and the packaging vectors (pHelper 1.0 and pHelper 2.0; Invitrogen) were cotransfected into 293FT cells using Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen). The culture supernatants were collected, concentrated, and stored at -70°C. Enhanced GFP (eGFP) was expressed in all lentiviral vectors to measure viral titer and infection efficiency. The lentiviral vectors were introduced into NB4 cells in the presence of polybrene (10 mg/mL), with an MOI of 5–20.

Guide‐it Complete sgRNA Screening Systems (632 636; Clontech, CA, USA) were used for the in vitro transcription and efficiency testing of sgRNAs. Donor DNAs with mutant sites were produced using the Guide‐it Long ssDNA Production System (632 644; Clontech). sgRNAs, donor DNAs, together with Guide‐it Recombinant Cas9 (632 640; Clontech) were imported into cells via electroporation using the Neon Transfection System (MPK5000; Invitrogen, CA, USA). Cells were allowed to recover for 72 h after electroporation then seeded into 96‐well plates for single clone selection. After primary selection by the Guide‐it Knockin Screening Kit (632 660; Clontech), positive clones were further validated by DNA sequencing for successful mutation of targeted sites.

For EZH2 overexpression, the EZH2 gene was subcloned into the pEZ-M98 vector (GeneCopoeia, Inc.) to generate pM-EZH2. Cultured N-PASMCs were then transfected with pM-EZH2 vector using the Neon Transfection System (MPK5000) from Invitrogen (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.), according to the supplier's instructions. Briefly, cells were cultured in 60-mm dishes to 70% confluency and then transfected with 2 µg plasmid DNA (1,375 V; 20 ms) at room temperature. Empty vector pEZ-M98 (pM) was used as a transfection control.
For EZH2 knockdown, PASMCs from CTEPH patient 3 were cultured in 60-mm dishes and transfected with 160 pmol small interfering (si)RNA (Shanghai GenePharma Co., Ltd.) and treated with Lipofectamine RNAiMAX reagent from Invitrogen (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) at room temperature, according to the manufacturer's instructions. The sequences were sense, 5′-CCUGACCUCUGUCUUACUUTT-3′ and antisense, 5′-AAGUAAGACAGAGGUCAGGTT-3′. RNAi negative control that had no homology with mammalian genes was used as the transfection control. The RNAi negative control sequences were sense, 5′-UUCUCCGAACGUGUCACGUTT-3′ and antisense, 5′-ACGUGACACGUUCGGAGAATT-3′. After 48 h, transfection efficiency was determined by both PCR and western blot analysis for EZH2.

The Neon™ Transfection System MPK5000 (Invitrogen) was used to electroporate the fibroblasts with the base editor and sgRNA. The base editing reagents (sgRNA and ABE) for each condition were prepared in a separate well of a 96-well plate and made up to a total volume of 10 μl with TE buffer. 1 × 106 Fibroblasts were pelleted (1200 rpm, 5 min), and resuspended in 100 μl Resuspension Buffer R (Neon kit) per condition just before electroporation. 100 μl of the cell suspension was mixed with the base editing reagents, taken up in a 100 μl Neon™ tip ensuring there is no bubble at the top, placed in the pipette holder containing 3 ml of Buffer E2 (Neon kit) and electroporated at Voltage = 1500 V; Width = 20 ms; # pulses = 1 pulse.

HEK293T cells were electroporated (Neon Transfection System, MPK5000, ThermoFisher) with Alt-R Sp HiFi Cas9 nuclease v3, tracrRNA, and FOXRED1 crRNA (Hs.Cas9.FOXRED1.1.AA and Hs.Cas9.FOXRED1.1.AC), all from Integrated DNA Technologies (Coralville, IA) per the manufacturer’s instructions. Single clones were expanded and plated in both DMEM + 10% FBS media containing 0.4 mM uridine, 2 mM pyruvate and either 25 mM glucose or 10 mM galactose. Clones that failed to grow in galactose had genomic DNA Sanger sequenced for evidence of editing, and clones were subject to Western blot to confirm FOXRED1 deletion, and one of these that appeared to grow well was further studied.

DND41 PE+/− cells were generated following a previously described protocol (59 (link)). Briefly, custom primers (Sigma-Aldrich) (Supplementary Table S3) were used to generate sgRNA DNA templates. Evaluation for potential off-targets was performed through CRISPRscan (https://www.crisprscan.org). In vitro transcription of sgRNAs from templates was performed following the protocol guidelines. 500ng of each purified sgRNA was independently incubated with 500ng of Cas9 (1074181, IDT) for 20 minutes at RT. Subsequently, one million DND41 cells were electroporated with 1μg of each complex per transfection using the Neon Transfection System (MPK5000, Thermo Fisher Scientific) and 100μL electroporating tips (MPK10025, Thermo Fisher Scientific). Electroporation conditions: pulse voltage 1350v, pulse width 10ms, pulse number 3, cell density 107/ml. Single cell clones were sorted using the Influx High Speed Sorter (BD Biosciences) and were subsequently grown in tissue culture and screened for PE loss by PCR using REDTaq ReadyMix (R2523–100RXN, Sigma Aldrich) following standard conditions and using custom primers (Supplementary Table S3).

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.
