Scrambled control sirna

Manufactured by Santa Cruz Biotechnology
Sourced in United States, Germany

Scrambled control siRNA is a non-targeting siRNA sequence that does not have any known homology to genes in the human, mouse, or rat genomes. It can be used as a negative control in RNA interference experiments to determine the extent of non-specific effects that may occur with siRNA treatment.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
With a 70–80% confluence in 6 well plates, MDA-MB-231 cells were transfected using the siRNA transfection reagent (Santa cruz) per manufacturer’s instructions. siRNAs used in the transient transfections were: control scrambled siRNA (Santa cruz, sc-37007), CEBPB siRNA (Santa cruz, sc-44251), ATF4 siRNA (Santa cruz, sc-35112) and PERK siRNA (Santa cruz, sc-36213). Following siRNA treatment for 48 hr, cells were treated with YW3-56. To analyze the effects of siRNA treatment on YW3-56 mediated cell killing, control scrambled siRNA, ATF4 siRNA, SESN2 siRNA (Santa cruz, sc-106544), and DDIT4 siRNA (Santa cruz, sc-45806) were transfected into 1833 cells. At 24 hr following transfection, YW3-56 was added to treat the cells and cell growth was analyzed 48 hr later. To overexpress ATF4 or CEBPB, with a 70–80% confluence in 6-well plate, MDA-MB-231 cells were transfected with pRK-ATF4 (Addgene, 26114) plasmid or pCMV-CEBPB (Origene, sc319561) plasmid. Empty pRK and pIRES plasmids were used as negative control. At 24 hr after forced expression of ATF4 and CEBPB, qRT-PCR and Western blot were performed to analyze the effects of ATF4 and CEBPB on gene expression.

Silencing VLK/PKDCC in Human TM Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Small interfering RNA (siRNA) directed against human VLK/PKDCC (C. No. sc-94454) and a corresponding, scrambled control siRNA (C. No. sc-169299) were purchased from Santa Cruz Biotechnology (Dallas, TX). Human TM cells grown in plastic 6-well plates or petri- dishes were transfected using 25 pmol human VLK siRNA (containing a mixture of three sets of interfering short RNAs) or control siRNA, the Lipofectamine RNAiMax reagent (C. No. 13778-075, Invitrogen/ThermoFisher, Waltham, MA) and Opti-MEM media (C. No. 319850-70) supplemented with antibiotics per manufacturer’s instructions. Briefly, 3ml Opti-MEM media containing RNAiMax reagent and the respective siRNAs were added to cells grown in culture dishes and incubated for 2 h in a humidified cell culture incubator, following which 2 ml of 10% serum containing DMEM media was added slowly. After 72 h following transfection, cells were photographed using a phase contrast microscope (Zeiss AX10) to monitor for morphological changes. Media, cells and ECM protein fractions were collected from these cultures, and processed to analyze the levels of VLK and TyrP proteins using appropriate antibodies. The volume of transfection Opti-MEM media (containing RNAiMax reagent and respective siRNAs) was adjusted accordingly for cells grown on glass cover slips and transfections were performed as mentioned above.

LLC-PK cells grown to 70% to 80% confluence were transfected with reported siRNAs against PI3K p85α or MEK (Santa Cruz) or scrambled control siRNA (Santa Cruz) (22 (link)) by use of Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. To optimize the knockdown efficiency, a second transfection was carried out 24 h after the first transfection, and subsequent experiments were performed 48 h later. To confirm siRNA knockdown of each target protein, LLC-PK cells treated in parallel were analyzed by Western blotting as described below.

Beclin 1 Knockdown and Resveratrol Treatment

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Beclin 1 (catalog no. sc-29797) and scrambled control siRNA (catalog no. sc-37007) were purchased from Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc. The Beclin 1 siRNA sequences were as follows: Forward, 5′-CAGCUCAACGUCACUGAAATT-3′ and reverse, 5′-UUUCAGUGACGUUGAGCUGTT-3′. The control siRNA sequences were not available. Briefly, 100 nM of Beclin 1 or control siRNA was transfected into cells using Lipofectamine® 2000 reagent (Invitrogen; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.), according to the manufacturer's protocol, and non-transfected cells were set as a blank control. After 24 h, cells were treated with 40 µM Res for an additional 48 h and subsequently analyzed via western blotting as previously described.

Full-length human B7-H4 cDNA was obtained from Origene Technologies (Rockville, MD, USA) and cloned into the pcDNA3.1(+) expression vector. B7-H4-targeting siRNA and scrambled control siRNA were purchased from Santa Cruz Biotechnology. The pcDNA3.1/B7-H4 plasmid or empty vector was transfected into bladder cancer cells 24 h after seeding using Lipofectamine 3000 transfection reagent (Invitrogen) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Transfections of individual siRNAs (40 nM) were performed using DharmaFECT transfection reagents (Dharmacon, Lafayette, CO, USA). In some experiments, T24 cells were pretreated with SN50 (10 μM; Calbiochem, San Diego, CA, USA)12 (link) for 30 min before transfection with the pcDNA3.1/B7-H4 plasmid. For generation of stable cell clones, cells transfected with the pcDNA3.1/B7-H4 plasmid or empty vector were selected in the presence of 800 μg/ml G418 (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA).

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.
