siRNAs for TONSL and MMS22L were purchased from IDT (Coralville, IA, USA) and Genolution (Seoul, Republic of Korea), respectively. The sequences of each siRNA are listed in Supplementary Table S2. siRNA transfections were performed using Lipofectamine RNAiMAX (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Cells were assayed 3–5 days after transfection. TONSL-specific shRNAs in the lentiviral pLKO.1 vector (TRCN0000424634, #1; TRCN0000424077, #2; and TRCN0000424443, #3) were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA), and the pLKO.1 vector was used as a control. Lentiviruses were produced in HEK293T cells by co-transfecting the shRNA-expressing vector, pMD2.G (Addgene, Watertown, MA, USA, #12259), and psPAX2 (Addgene) using jetPRIME (Polyplus-transfection, Illkirch, France) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Cells were transduced with 5 μg/mL hexadimethrine bromide (Sigma). Two days later, the cell extract or RNA was used for western blotting or quantitative reverse transcription PCR to confirm the knockdown effect (Supplementary Figure S5).

Short hairpin RNAs (shRNAs) against mouse Fxyd5 (accession no. NM_001111073; shFxyd5-1 and shFxyd5-2) were designed using the online design software (https://portals.broadinstitute.org/gpp/public/seq/search) and then cloned into the pLKO.1 vector (MilliporeSigma; cat. no. SHC001) to silence Fxyd5 expression. A non-targeting shRNA clone was used as the negative control (shNC). Briefly, ATDC5 cells were seeded into 6-well plates at a density of 1×106 cells/well and cultured overnight at 37°C. Cells were then transfected with 50 pmol shRNAs using Lipofectamine® 3000 (Invitrogen; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) at 37°C for 24 h according to the manufacturer's recommendation. Transfection efficiency was detected via western blot at 48 h after transfection. The sequences for shRNAs were as follows: shFxyd5-1, forward 5′-CCGGCGCCTGTGTCTCCTCACTATTCTCGAGAATAGTGAGGAGACACAGGCGTTTTTG-3′, reverse 5′-AATTCAAAAACGCCTGTGTCTCCTCACTATTCTCGAGAATAGTGAGGAGACACAGGCG-3′; shFxyd5-2, forward 5′-CCGGGCTGTTCATCACGGGAATTATCTCGAGATAATTCCCGTGATGAACAGCTTTTTG-3′, reverse 5′-AATTCAAAAAGCTGTTCATCACGGGAATTATCTCGAGATAATTCCCGTGATGAACAGC-3′; shNC, forward 5′-CACCGCAATTTTTTTTTTTGATTCACGAATGAATCAAAAAAAAAAAAATGC-3′, reverse 5′-AAAAGCAATTTTTTTTTTTGATTCATTCGTGAATCAAAAAAAAAAAAATGC-3′.

Viral RNA was isolated using NucleoSpin RNA (Takara Bio, San Jose, CA, USA, cat# 740956.50) and titered using the Lenti-X™ qRT-PCR Titration Kit (Takara Bio, San Jose, CA, USA, cat# OHS6085). To infect GBM cells, a multiplicity of infection of 10 was used. For migration assays, infected GBM cells were growth factor-deprived 24 h after infection. GBM cells were collected and plated for experiments 48 h after infection. For each infection, RNA was collected at the time of plating for the experiment to confirm knockdown.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Three shRNAs targeting human XPO6, a shRNA targeting luciferase (Zhu et al., 2020), and a shRNA targeting human ENL in the lentiviral pLKO.1 vector were purchased from Sigma. XPO6 cDNAin the lentiviral vector pEZ-Lv151 was purchased from GeneCopoeia (# EX-W2830-Lv151). Silent mutations resistant to shXPO6 #3 (GGAAAGGTTGGTC to AGAGCGCCTCGTG) were introduced by Genewiz between nucleotides 1861-1877 in theXPO6 cDNA (numbering after ATG). Two shRNAs targeting human Pfn1 and a scrambled shCTRL were cloned in the lentiviral pFLRu-FH vector (Diamond et al., 2015 (link)). Silent mutations resistant to shPFN1 #1 and #2 were introduced in human Pfn1 cDNA by QuickChange: AGC to TCG (nucleotide 253-255) and TTG to CTC (nucleotide 367-369). Paired guide RNAs specific for human XPO6 gene used with Cas9 (D10A) nickase (Cas9n) were designed using E-CRISP (http://www.e-crisp.org/E-CRISP/). Oligonucleotides for four pairs of sgRNAs were synthesized, each pair consisting of two annealed oligonucleotides whose target sequences in XPO6 are ≤ 20 base pairs apart. Following oligo annealing, they were inserted into the BbsI sites of the pSpCas9n(BB)-2A-Puro vector (PX462, Addgene 48141) (Ran et al., 2013 (link)). Single guide RNAs for human XPO6 used with wild-type Cas9 were similarly designed, and cloned into the BsmBI site in the lentiCRISPRv2.0 vector (Addgene #52961).

shRNAs targeting human CLOCK, OLFML3 and POSTN, and mouse Clock, Bmal1 and Postn in the pLKO.1 vector (Sigma, #SHC001) were used in the current study. Lentiviral particles (8 μg) were generated by transfecting 293T cells with the packaging vectors psPAX2 (4 μg; Addgene, #12260) and pMD2.G (2 μg; Addgene, #12259). Lentiviral particles were collected at 48 and 72 h after the transfection in 293T cells and filtered through a 0.45-μm filter.

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.
