Empty vector control

Manufactured by Genechem
Sourced in China

The empty vector control is a plasmid that does not contain any specific gene of interest. It is commonly used as a negative control in experiments involving gene expression or gene manipulation.

Transfection of miRNA and siRNA

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The miRNA mimic, miRNA inhibitor, STAT3 siRNA, and scrambled siRNA were synthesized by RiBoBio (China). The oligonucleotide sequences were listed in Table S1 (Additional file 1: Table S1). The miRNA overexpression vector pCMV-MIR519A (MI0003182) and the empty vector control were obtained from OriGene (Rockville, MD, USA). The miR-519a sponge and empty vector control were purchased from GeneChem (China). Transfections were performed using Lipofectamine 2000 reagent (cat. no. 11668-019; Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Silencing SNHG22 and Upregulating SUDS3 in Breast Cancer

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The specific shRNAs against SNHG22 and corresponding negative control shRNAs, as well as the pcDNA3.1 vector containing SUDS3 and the empty vector (control), were all available from Genechem (Shanghai, China). Besides, the miR-324-3p mimics/inhibitor and NC mimics/inhibitor were synthesized by Ribobio (Guangzhou, China). MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-468 cells prepared in 24-well plates were subjected to transfection with appropriate plasmids above in the presence of Lipofectamine 3000 (Invitrogen). After 48 h of transfections, cells were collected for further use in following experiments.

Plasmid Transfection Enhances Anoikis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For plasmid transfection, Bel-7402 cells were cultured on 6-well plate to 90–95% confluence, and 4.0 μg recombinant human PTK2 eukaryotic expression plasmid or control empty vector (Genechem, Shanghai, China) were introduced into the cells by Lipofectamine™ 2000 according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. After 24 h of transfection, cells were subjected to suspension-culture, YGJDSJ (200 μg/ml) treatment for 24 h, western blot and anoikis assay.

Lentiviral Knockdown and Overexpression of PER2

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For PER2 knockdown, the lentivirus expression vectors PER2-sh1, PER2-sh2 and control (empty vector) were purchased from GeneChem (Shanghai, China). For PER2 overexpression (PER2-OE), the lentivirus expression vectors pCDNA3.1-PER2-3×FLAG and the control vector were purchased from Miaolingbio (Wuhan, China). Control vectors or PER2 knockdown/overexpression vectors, pMD2G and psPAX2 vectors were co-transfected into 293 T cells with PEI according to the manufacturer’s protocol. After 48 h, the supernatant in 293 T cell dishes was collected for lentivirus. Human DPSCs were transfected with the corresponding lentivirus particles and renamed based on the lentiviral vectors used, and the final efficiency of knockdown or overexpression of PER2 was evaluated by qRT-PCR and Western blot analysis.

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.
