To produce lentivirus for transduction expression of Ceg3 in COS-1 cells, Ceg3 was inserted into pCDH-CMV-MCS-EF1a-RFP (System Biosciences cat# CD512B-1), which was transfected together with pMD2.G (Addgene plasmid #12259) and psPAX2 (Addgene plasmid #12260) vector (Salmon and Trono, 2007 (link)) into HEK293T cells grown to about 70% confluence. Supernatant was collected after 48 hr and then filtered with a 0.45-μm syringe filter. The titer of the produced lentivirus was determined by using qPCR Lentivirus Titer Kit (abm, cat# LV900). For lentiviral transduction, approximately 1×105 COS-1 cells seeded into 24-well plates 1 day before transduction were transduced with lentiviral particles at an MOI of 10. Cells incubated for 2 days at 37°C with 5% CO2 were collected for immunoblotting.

Recombinant lentiviruses were produced by co-transfecting HEK 293T cells with the transfer vector (CCL) and helper plasmids (psPAX2 and pMD2. G) using Lipofectamine 2000 transfection reagent. A total of 5 × 106 293T cells were seeded in 10-cm plates for 24 h before transfection in DMEM with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), penicillin (100 IU/mL), and streptomycin (100 mg/mL) in a 5% CO2 incubator. The culture medium was changed one hour before transfection. A total of 64 μg of plasmid DNA, including 16 μg of the envelope plasmid Ppax2, 16 μg of the packing plasmid pMD2.G, and 32 μg of the transfer vector plasmid, were used per dish for transfection. After the lentiviruses were collected, we used the Lentivirus Purification Kit (ABM, G171) to purify the lentiviruses and increase their titers. The viral titer was determined by the qPCR Lentivirus Titer Kit (ABM, LV900). Mice aged 8–12 weeks were used in the experiments. To induce obesity, WT mice were fed an HFD for 18 weeks. For eWAT injections, control, shCCL5/shCCR5 or CCL5/CCR5 lentivirus (1 × 1010 ifu/mouse) was injected directly into bilateral eWAT in a total volume of 50 μL.

Replication-defective high-titer retrovirus expressing v-RasHa was generated from ψ2-producer cells as described previously26 (link). Primary or immortalized mouse keratinocytes were transduced with the retrovirus in keratinocytes media containing 4 μg/ml polybrene after 3 days of culture. For lentivirus production, HEK293T cells were grown to ∼60% confluence in DMEM complete media supplemented with 1 mM solidum pyruvate, 8.93 mM sodium bicarbonate, 1X NEAA, 1X GlutaMAX, and 10 mM HEPES. pCW57.1 lentiviral vector containing human wildtype IRE1α sequence was co-transfected with pMD2.G envelope (Addgene #12259) and psPAX2 packaging (Addgene #12260) vectors in a molar ratio of 2:1:1 for 6h before replacing the transfection media. pWPI-Xbp1s26 (link) and pLox-Ttag-iresTK (Addgene #12246) vectors were co-transfected with the pMD2.G and psPAX2 vectors in a molar ratio of 1:1:1. Lentiviral particles in the supernatant were harvested 48 and 96h post-transfection and incubated overnight with sterile 10% w/v PEG 6000 in 2.5 M NaCl at 4°C. Lentivirus was concentrated by centrifugation at 10,000 rpm for 2h at 4°C. Pellet was resuspended in sterile ice-cold PBS. Lentivirus titer was estimated by qPCR lentivirus titer kit (abm) according to manufacturer’s instructions.

Lentiviral Transduction and Titer Quantification

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Lentivirus aliquots were thawed on ice and 3 μl of virus was used to transduce wells of 1.5 × 10^5 293T cells that were allowed to multiply to approximately 10^6 cells before the DNA were harvested 48 h later. A qPCR Lentivirus Titer Kit (ABM, LV900) was used to compare amplification of viral DNA to amplification of an endogenous gene (hVAR). See (Lerchner et al., 2023 ) for a detailed description of the procedure. For surgeries and as a starting point for the time course experiment, virus titers were adjusted to 2 × 10^9 iu/ml with cold PBS after thawing virus aliquots.

Lentiviral Vector Production and Transduction

Expression vector plasmids were co-transfected with psPAX2 (Addgene plasmid 12260) and envelope vector pMD2.G (Addgene plasmid 12259) into 293T cells. Lentivirus was collected from the supernatant 48 and 72 hours after transfection. Stable cell lines were made by transducing cells with lentivirus at multiplicities of infection (MOIs) of 1, 0.3 (mini-library), and 0.1 (full library). Positive integrants were selected by treating with puromycin (hPGK-PuroR-P2A-HSV-TK) or flow sorting for mCherry (hPGK-HSV-TK-P2A-mCherry). Corresponding non-transduced cells for each cell line were used as positive control for puromycin selection. Lentiviruses for direct intratumoral delivery of HSV-TK interrupted by synMTERFD3i1-150-v6700 were 200X concentrated by ultracentrifugation (19,000g, 100 min at 4°C), resuspended in Opti-MEM (Gibco) and quantified using a qPCR Lentivirus Titer Kit (Applied Biological Materials).

Lentiviruses were produced by co-transfecting HEK293T cells on 10-cm dishes with pLKO.1puro transfer, the pCMV-VSV-G envelope and pCMV-dR8.2 packaging plasmids (gift from Dr. Bob Weinberg, [25 (link)], purchased from Addgene) using the calcium phosphate precipitation method. In summary, plasmid DNAs were mixed in sterile distilled water, then 2.5 M CaCl2 was added (final concentration: 125 mM) and the solution was mixed dropwise with 2× HEPES-buffered solution [HBS] (42 mM HEPES, 15 mM D-glucose, 1.4 mM Na2HPO4, 10 mM KCl, 274 mM NaCl 274 mM, pH 7.1). This mixture was added dropwise to attached cells and the medium was replaced with fresh complete DMEM after 6 h. After 48 h had passed post-transfection, the cell medium was collected and centrifuged for 10 min at 3000 rpm, the supernatant was filtered and the lentiviral vector particles were purified and concentrated with a Lenti-X concentrator kit (Takara). After concentration, the viral particles were resuspended in sterile phosphate-buffered saline and the titer of the samples was measured with a qPCR Lentivirus titer kit from Applied Biological Materials (Vancouver, Canada). The samples were stored at −80 °C until the infection of cells.

The FG12 lentiviral vector (Addgene, Watertown, MA, USA) was used for gene transfection of human claudin-1, -2, -3, and -9 (hCLDNs) in HeLa and HepG2 cells. Each DNA fragment of human claudin was inserted into the FG12 vector. Twenty-four hours before gene transfection, HEK293T cells were seeded on a 6-well plate at a density of 0.95 × 105 cells/cm2. The transfection mixture of FG12/hCLDNs, the expression plasmid of the vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV-G), and the packaging plasmid psPAX2 were then added to the cells using Lipofectamine 3000 reagent. The spent culture medium was collected 72 h after transfection, centrifuged at 150 × g at 4 °C for 5 min, and the supernatant was stored at −80°C. Lentivirus titres were measured using a qPCR Lentivirus Titer Kit (Applied Biological Materials, Vancouver, Canada) according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

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.
