X 106 Ramos B cells were suspended in 300 μL Amaxa buffer SG (246 μL SG buffer + 54 μL Supplement 1, Lonza: #V4XC-3024). 100 μL of resuspended cells was added to three separate Amaxa cuvettes. 0.5 μL of either ddH2O (Mock), 100 μM Scrambled siRNA (Scr) (GE Dharmacon Catalog#: D-001810-10-05), or 100 μM IRF5 targeting siRNA (IRF5KD) (GE Dharmacon Catalog#: L-011706-00-0010) was added to each cuvette. Cells were then nucleofected on the Amaxa 4D Nucleofector using program CA-137. After nucleofection, cells were immediately added to 1 mL of RPMI-1640 (+10% FBS, 1x Glutamine, 1X Non-essential Amino Acids), cultured for 24 h, and then pelleted and re-nucleofected with siRNA as before. Cells were then lysed 24 h after the second nucleofection for immunoblot analysis.

Atg5 Knockdown in RAW Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Scrambled siRNA (scr) and siRNA against mouse Atg5 were purchased from Dharmacon. Thirty five nM siRNA was used for transfection of RAW cells using lipofectamine 2000 (ThermoFisher Scientific: 52758) using manufacturer’s protocol. At 24 hours post- transfection, cells were removed and plated into 6-well plates. After an additional 24 hours, cells were treated with the IAP or vehicle for 24 hrs followed by addition of LPS (25 ng/ml) for the next 24 hrs. IAP was removed from the medium prior to adding LPS.

Pharmacological and Genetic Modulation of PLA2g7 in Pain

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All drugs were prepared in coded syringes on the day of injection by an individual not performing behavioral testing in order to blind the experimenter. Animals were initially acclimated to observation boxes atop thermal or mechanical platforms for a minimum of 30 min prior to collection of baseline recordings. After baselines, animals were administered vehicle or testing compound. Darapladib (Selleckchem; SB-480848) was dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and Tween-20 then diluted in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) to 2% of each for final concentrations of 300 nmol and 30 nmol. Control animals received equivalent volume of the Darapladib vehicle.
Knockdown of PLA2g7 was performed using Dharmacon SMARTpool small interfering RNA (siRNA) against four separate PLA2g7 target sequences. Control groups received non-targeting scrambled (scr) siRNA (Dharmacon). The PLA2g7 or scrambled siRNA was injected intrathecally (i.t., 2 µg) for three consecutive days for a cumulative dose of 6 µg. Behavior was tested on 2 days after final injection by blinded observers, followed by collection of DRGs for protein and transcript quantification.

Gastric cancer cell lines (SNU1, SNU16, SNU216, SNU620, SNU638, and N87) were purchased from the Korean Cell Line Bank (Seoul). Cells were cultured in RPMI1640 supplemented with 25 mM HEPES, 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), and 100 μg/ml of penicillin/streptomycin (1 × P/S) in 5%CO2/95% air at 37°C. Cells were transfected with siRNA using DharmaFECT reagent 1 or 3 (Dharmacon, Lafayette, CO), according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The sequences of siRNA used were as follows: MED30 siRNA (Bioneer, Daejeon, Korea), 5’-CGA GCA ACU UAU UCC AUA U(dTdT)-3’, 5’-GCU GCC AAA UGG UGU CAC U(dTdT)-3’, and 5’-CGA GAA AUU GCU GAA GUA A(dTdT)-3’; scrambled (SCR) siRNA (Dharmacon, Lafayette, CO), 5’- GAU CCG CAA AAG AGC GAA A(dTdT)-3’.

Knockdown and Overexpression of ZHX1 in Glioblastoma

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Scrambled (SCR) siRNA and ZHX1 siRNA were purchased from Dharmacon (Lafayette, CO, USA) and Bioneer Corporation (Daejeon, Korea). The siRNA sequences used were as follows: ZHX1 siRNA, 5′-CUGACUUUUGAUG GUAGUU(dTdT)-3′, 5′-GAAAGUAAUGCAGGUAGUU (dTdT)-3′, and SCR siRNA, 5′-CAGUUCAUCAUAACU CAGU(dTdT)-3′ and 5′-GAUCCGCAAAAGAGCGAAA (dTdT)-3′. For ZHX1 knockdown, glioblastoma cell lines were seeded at 1500 cells/well in a 96-well plate or 70,000 cells/well in a 6-well plate. Cells were transfected with 100 nM of SCR or ZHX1 siRNA within 1 day of seeding. DharmaFECT 1 (Thermo Scientific, Kafayette, CO, USA) was used for the transfection as directed by the manufacturer. The ZHX1 gene was obtained from Invitrogen and was amplified using ZHX1 primers including NotI and XbaI restriction site. The amplified ZHX1 gene and the 3XFlag CMV-10 vector (Sigma, E4401) were digested by NotI and XbaI restriction enzyme, and then ZHX1 was inserted into the vector. To create a stable cell line, U373MG cells were seeded at 100,000 cells/well in a sixwell plate and transfected with empty vector as control or the vector containing the ZHX1 using ViaFect TM (Promega, Madison, WI, USA), according to the manufacturer's instructions. G418 (30 µg/ml; Roche, 04727894001) was used to choose empty control vector-expressing (Mock) and ZHX1-overexpressing (ZHX1-over) clones.

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.
