Dual Luciferase Reporter Assay Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Dual luciferase reporter assay was performed using Dual-Lumi™ II Luciferase Reporter Gene Assay Kit (Beyotime Biotechnology) and a fluorescent microplate reader (Thermo Fisher Scientific). All plasmids were constructed by SyngenTech (Beijing, China) and transfected into cells. Their sequences were listed in
Supplementary Table S2. After 24 h, the cells were lysed, centrifuged (10,000‒15,000
g, 3‒5 min), and the supernatant was retained. A total of 100 μL firefly luciferase detection reagent was added to every 20 μL sample, incubated at room temperature for 5 min and then detected using a fluorescent microplate reader, with the result recorded as fLuc. Subsequently, 100 μL renilla luciferase detection reagent was added to the sample and mixed well. The results were recorded as rLuc using a fluorescent microplate reader. The results were presented as the relative expression levels of fLuc and rLuc (fLuc /rLuc ratios).

Full-length cDNAs of Lsd-1, regucalcin, yip2, and CG5162 were cloned into the pmirGLO dual-luciferase miRNA target expression vector (E1330, Promega, Beijing, China). The full-length cDNA of arlr was cloned into a pcDNA3.1 vector (V790-20, Invitrogen). HEK293T cells (CRL-3216, ATCC, USA) were cultured in DMEM medium (11965-092, Gibco, New York, USA) with 10% fetal bovine serum (11011-8611, Biobase, Jinan, China) and 1% antibiotic (15140-122, Gibco), and maintained in incubators with 5% CO2 at 37 °C. Cells were seeded in a 24-well plate. Transfection was performed at 70–90% confluence with Lipo8000 transfection reagent (C0533, Beyotime). Luciferase assays were performed 2 days after transfection using Dual-Lumi II luciferase reporter gene assay kit (RG089S, Beyotime). Results were tested by SpectraMax i3x (TECAN, Switzerland).

BAG5 3'UTR Luciferase Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
BAG5 was predicted to be a target gene of miR-142-5p based on analysis with TargetScan (http://www.targetscan.org, v7.2), which yielded a context++ score (The context++ score for a specific site is the sum of the contribution of a series of features). The 3'-untranslated region (3'UTR) of BAG5 was amplified via PCR from bovine mammary epithelial MAC-T cell cDNA and then inserted into the multiple cloning site downstream of the luciferase reporter gene in the pMIR-REPORT™ luciferase plasmid (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) to construct the luciferase reporter plasmid [BAG5 3'UTR wild-type (WT)]. MAC-T cells were transfected with 1 µg 3'UTR WT or mutant (MUT) constructed by chemical synthesis (General Biosystems Co., Ltd.) and 50 nM miR-142-5p mimics or miR-142-5p mimics NC using Lipofectamine® 2000 (Invitrogen; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) according to the manufacturer's protocol. Cells transfected BAG5 3'UTR WT or MUT plasmid served as blank group. After 24 h incubation at 37˚C, the cells were lysed by lysis buffer as supplied by the Dual-Luciferase Detection kit (Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology) on ice and luciferase activity was measured using a Dual-Lumi II Luciferase Reporter Gene Assay kit (Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Firefly luciferase activities were normalized to Renilla luciferase activities.

Characterizing the OSR2 Promoter Activity

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All plasmids were obtained from MLPSP (China). OSR2 promoter regions, ranging from 2000 bp upstream of the transcriptional start site to 100 bp downstream, amplified from human genomic DNA using PCR, were inserted into upstream of luciferase gene of pGL4-Basic vector, respectively. The sequences of the plasmids were confirmed by plasmid DNA sequencing. For eliminating differences in transfection efficiency or cell number, pGL4.74 (hRluc-TK) encoding Renilla luciferase was employed as an internal reference. HEK293T cells were cultured in DMEM (Hyclone, USA) containing 10% FBS (Hyclone, USA) followed by used for luciferase reporter assay. HEK293T cells were subjected into 24-well plates. Each plate was transiently co-transfected by these two vectors with or without a MAX overexpression vector. Transfection of all plasmids into HEK293T cells was performed by utilizing Lipofectamine™ 3000 reagent (Invitrogen, USA). Assays were performed three biological replicates by utilizing Dual-Lumi™ II Luciferase Reporter Gene Assay Kit (Beyotime Biotechnology, China).
