Plasmid Linearization and In Vitro Transcription

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The pCMV-PE2 was purchased from Addgene (132775) [15 (link)]. The PE2 plasmid was linearized by the PmeI enzyme (NEB, Ipswich, MA, USA), and in vitro transcription was performed using the T7 Ultra Kit (Ambion, Austin, TX, USA). According to the manufacturer’s protocols, RNA was purified by the Mini Kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany). The expression plasmids of T7 + pegRNA and T7 + nick sgRNA were linearized by the XhoI enzyme (NEB, Ipswich, MA, USA). According to the manufacturer’s protocols, the pegRNAs and sgRNAs were transcribed in vitro by the MEGA shortscript Kit (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) and purified by the MEGA clear Kit (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA).

Quantifying Restriction Enzyme Cleavage

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
These constructs were made as described above, but with a bridge oligonucleotide containing an inserted sequence recognized by the XhoI enzyme (New England Biolabs). The compliment to this restriction sequence was also added to ensure that this region was double stranded. Cleavage measurements were performed by adding enzyme to the loops (with final concentrations of 2.2 nM and 1,000 units/mL for the loops and enzyme, respectively) in the recommended buffer (New England Biolabs) and quenching the enzyme activity with 75 mM EDTA at various times at room temperature.

Dnmt3b Knockdown Plasmid Construction

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The mice Dnmt3b mRNA sequence was obtained from GenBank. The sequence was 5′-GCATGAAGGCCAGATCAAA-3′, which was designed and synthesized by GenePharma (Shanghai, China). The scrambled sequence was 5′-UUCUCCGAACGUGUCACGU-3′. BamHI and EcoRI enzymes (NEB) were used to digest and linerize the vector pLVX-shRNA1. The structure of the vector was demonstrated in Figure S3A (supplemental files). The products were mixed with competent cells JM109 which were further cultured on LB medium containing Ampicillin. A Plasmid Preparation kit (Beyotime) was used to extract the recombinant plasmids which were further identified by XhoI enzyme (NEB) digestion and DNA sequencing.

Characterizing PLD1 3'UTR-miR-122 Interaction

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A PLD1 3′UTR fragment was inserted into a psiCHECK-2 vector (Promega, USA) to build a psiCHECK-2-PLD1 3′UTR-wt construct. The psiCHECK-2-PLD1 3′UTR vector was nicked with Xho I enzyme (New England Biolabs, USA) and Not I enzyme (New England Biolabs). Q5 Site-Directed Mutagenesis Kit (New England Biolabs) was used to mutate in site 1761 psiCHECK-2-PLD1 3′UTR-wt to produce psiCHECK-2-PLD1 3′UTR-mut. NRK-52E and HK-2 cells were plated at a density of 1 × 105 cells per well in a 96-well plate and allowed to attach for 24 h. The constructed dual-luciferase plasmid psiCHECK-2-PLD1 3′UTR-wt, psiCHECK-2-PLD1 3′UTR-mut, or the control luciferase plasmid (100 ng/well) was cotransfected with miR-122-5p mimics or NC mimics for 36 h using Lipofectamine 3000 reagent (Life Technologies, USA). Luciferase activity was assayed 36 h after transfection using a Dual-Luciferase Reporter Assay Kit (Promega, USA). Experiments were repeated five times.

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.
