siRNA EE was determined using the RiboGreen assay according to the manufacturer's instructions. For calculation of total siRNA, Quant‐iT™ RiboGreen® RNA reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) was diluted in HEPES buffer (pH 7.4, 10 mM) containing 0.4% (v/v) Triton X‐100 and 80 μg/ml dextran sulfate (Merck Millipore, Burlington, MA, USA), and subsequently mixed with the LNP solution. For free siRNA, Quant‐iT™ RiboGreen® RNA reagent was diluted with HEPES buffer (pH 7.4, 10 mM), and mixed with the LNP solution. The fluorescence of total and free siRNA was measured using a microplate reader (SPARK TKS01, TECAN, Zürich, Switzerland) (λexem = 480/525 nm). Separate calibration curves were prepared for each solution to consider the effects of Triton X‐100 and dextran sulfate on fluorescence intensities. EE % was determined using the following equation: EE%=total siRNAfree siRNA/total siRNA×100%.

Profiling Tumor Immune Landscape

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
RNA was isolated from excised tumors after generation of single‐cell suspensions using an RNA isolation kit (Bio & Sell, Germany) according to the supplier's protocol. The RNA concentration of each sample was determined using fluorescent RNA labeling (Quant‐it RiboGreen RNA Reagent; Thermo Fisher, Germany) and a fluorometer (DS‐11 FX; DeNovix, Germany). Absolute concentrations were calculated against a standard curve. Subsequent gene expression analysis was performed using the NanoString nCounter technology, which directly evaluates RNA levels without prior complementary DNA synthesis. Briefly, 50 ng RNA per sample was hybridized for 24 h at 65 °C with reporter and capture ProbeSets of the nCounter PanCancer IO 360 Panel targeting 770 genes specifically designed for research in immuno‐oncology. Immediately after, samples were loaded into the nCounter SPRINT cartridge and processed by the NanoString nCounter system. Differential gene expression analysis was performed using the nSolver 4.0 analysis software (all NanoString Technologies, USA). Pathway enrichment analysis was evaluated using GSEA Software[89, 90] and processed with Cytoscape.[91] Cell fractions were quantified from bulk tissue gene expression profiles using CIBERSORTx.[92]

Mouse liver punches were homogenized using Bio-Gen PRO200 Homogenizer (PRO Scientific). Total RNAs were isolated using TRIzol (Thermo Fisher Scientific) or RNeasy 96 Kits (Qiagen) according to protocols supplied by the manufacturers. TaqMan One-step qRT-PCR was performed using AgPath-ID™ One-Step RT-PCR Reagents (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Reverse transcription was performed at 45°C for 10 min, the reactions were then denatured at 95°C for 10 min, and forty cycles of PCR reactions were conducted at 95°C for 15 s and 60°C for 60 s within each cycle, using Applied Biosystems StepOnePlus Real-Time PCR system. Expression levels of target RNA were normalized to total RNA quantified using Quant-iT RiboGreen RNA Reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific). qRT-PCR data was analyzed by StepOne Software v.2.2.2 (Applied Biosystems). Statistics analysis was performed using Prism, with F-test for curve comparison based on non-linear regression (dose–response curves) for XY analyses, using equation ‘log(agonist) versus normalized response–variable slope. The Y axis (relative mRNA level) was directly used as the normalized response.

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.
