Pgl4.74 renilla luciferase

Manufactured by Promega

PGL4.74 Renilla luciferase is a reporter gene that expresses the Renilla luciferase enzyme. Renilla luciferase is a naturally occurring enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of coelenterazine, resulting in the emission of light.

Luciferase Assay for Wnt and SOX Signaling

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For luciferase assays, 1 × 105 CC14 cells, naive or infected with the appropriate shRNAs, were plated in 24-well plates and then transfected with Lipofectamine LTX with a plasmid containing TOP/FOP reporters (500 ng), pGL4.74 Renilla luciferase (100 ng, Promega), pRFP as transfection control (100 ng), CMV-β-CATENIN or CMV-SOX4/SOX12/SOX17 as required. A pCMV-control was used to complement or replace the other expression plasmids in order to keep the amount of DNA and of the CMV promoter constant.

Plasmids for NRF2 and HIF1α Regulation

For transient transfections the following plasmids were used: pGL3-8xARE42 (link), or pGLHIF1.343 (link), pGL4.74 renilla luciferase (#E6921, Promega), pGFP-NRF2 (pcDNA3-EGFP-C4-Nrf2, #21549, Addgene), Flag-NRF2 (pCDNA3.1 FLAG NRF2, #36971, Addgene), Flag-Keap1 (#28023, Addgene), p(HA)HIF1alpha (P402A,P564A) (#52636, Addgene). To generate plasmid GFP-NRF2-S40A, a modified QuickChange protocol was used44 (link) to perform a PCR using pGFP-NRF2 as the template and primers NRF2-S40A-for (5ʹ-GTCGAGAAGTATTTGACTTCGCCCAGCGACGGAAA-GAGTATGAGCTGGAAAA-3ʹ) and NRF2-S40A-rev (5ʹ-GGCGAAGTCAAATAC-TTCTCGACTTACTCCAAGA TCTATATCTTGCCTCCAAAGTATGTCA-3ʹ). pLKO.1-shRNA-NRF2 tet-on (tetracycline inducible) contained the sequence 5ʹ-GCTCCTACTGTGATGTGAAAT-3ʹ of NRF2 mRNA (GenBank acc. no. NM_001145412), pLKO.1-shRNA-PERK tet-on (tetracycline inducible) contained the sequence 5ʹ-GGAACGACCTGAAGCTATAAA-3ʹ of PERK mRNA (GenBank acc. no. NM_004836).

Dual-Luciferase Transcriptional Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
5 × 104 cells were seeded in 24-well plates. After 24 h, cells were transfected with 500 ng pGLHIF1.347 (link) and 100 ng pGL4.74 renilla luciferase (#E6921, Promega) per well. After incubation for further 72 h, cells were lysed and prepared using the Dual Glow luciferase assay kit (Promega). Firefly and renilla luciferase were measured using the GloMax detection system (Promega) and normalized to renilla values to exclude variations in transfection.

Transient Transfection Assay for NR5A1 Function

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Transient gene expression assays for the assessment of NR5A1 function were performed in 96-well plates with the use of HEK 293T cells transfected at 70% confluence, Lipofectamine 2000 reagent (Invitrogen), and a dual-Luciferase reporter assay system (Promega) with pGL4.74 Renilla luciferase (Promega) expression as a marker of transfection efficiency. Then pCMV6_WT or mutant NR5A1 expression vectors (10 ng per well) were cotransfected into HEK 293T cells with NR5A1-responsive minimal promoters linked to luciferase (human CYP11A1, human CYP17A1; 10 ng per well). Cells were lysed 48 hours later, and luciferase assays were performed with the use of a multilabel plate reader (Wallac Victor, Perkin-Elmer). All data were standardized for Renilla activity. Results are shown as the mean AE SEM of three independent experiments, each performed in triplicate. The data were analyzed statistically using Student's t test. A P value of < .05 was considered statistically significant.

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.
