Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Bioinformatic analysis for the directly targeted miRNAs of circ_0038467 was carried out using the online database Circinteractome (https://circinteractome.nia.nih.gov/miRNA_Target_Sites/mirna_target_sites.html). The spartial sequences of circ_0038467 harboring wild‐type miR‐338‐3p‐binding sites (UGCUGG) and the site‐directed mutant (ACGACC) in the target region were cloned in the pmirGLO vector (Promega, Southampton, UK) downstream from the luciferase reporter gene, respectively. Each reporter construct (20 ng) was transfected into 16HBE cells together with miR‐338‐3p mimic (30 nM) or miR‐NC mimic (30 nM) using the HiPerFect transfection reagent. Cell extracts were prepared 48 hours post‐transfection, and the luciferase activity was determined by the Promega Dual‐luciferase Reporter Assay System.
For RIP studies, cell extracts were incubated with antibodies against Argonaute2 (ab156870, anti‐Ago2, Abcam) or a negative IgG (ab205718, anti‐IgG, Abcam) at 4°C for two hours, followed by the incubated with protein A/G beads (Sigma‐Aldrich) for two hours. Total RNA was obtained from the beads, and circ_0038467 enrichment was assessed by qRT‐PCR.

Total protein isolation was conducted in cells or tissues utilizing RIPA buffer (C0481, Sigma‐Aldrich), with the concentration estimated using the BCA kit (23227). Protein was uploaded onto SDS‐PAGE and electroblotted to PVDF membranes that received 1‐h blocking using BSA (5%) at ambient temperature. Membranes received overnight probing with primary antibodies at 4°C before 1.5‐h re‐probinh with HRP‐tagged goat anti‐rabbit IgG (1:20000, ab205718, Abcam) or goat anti‐mouse IgG (1:20,000, ab197767, Abcam) at room temperature. Next, developing solution (NCI4106, Pierce Biotechnology Inc., Rockford, IL, USA) was added to membranes, and band intensities were quantified using ImageLab software (Bio‐Rad Laboratories). The ratio of the gray value of the target band to that of internal reference protein GAPDH was representative of the relative protein expression of target genes. In this assay, the used primary antibodies consisted of antibody from Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc. to CXCL10 (mouse, 1:500, sc‐374092), and antibodies from Abcam to collagen I (rabbit, 1:1000, ab34710), collagen III (rabbit, 1:2000, ab7778), NOX2 (rabbit, 1:5000, ab129068), NOX4 (rabbit, 1:1000, ab154244), AGO2 (rabbit, 1:1000, ab156870), apolipoprotein B‐100 (apoB‐100) (1:1000, ab231574), and GAPDH (rabbit, 1:5000, ab194486).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The segmental sequence of circ_0000144 harboring the miR-623-pairing sites, the 3′-untranslated region (3′-UTR) of GPRC5A and their mutants in the seed sites were inserted by restriction endonuclease into the pmirGLO vector (Promega, Charbonnières, France), respectively, as described previously [20 (link)]. These constructs were transfected into HGC-27 and AGS cells, respectively, together with miR-623 mimic or miRNA NC mimic and tested for luciferase activity using the Promega Dual-luciferase Reporter Assay Kit. Renilla and Firefly luciferase activities were tested 48 h post-transfection using a luminometer (Berthold, Thoiry, France) based on the guidance of producers.
In RIP assays, the preparation of cell lysates was performed using the Complete Lysis-M reagent (Roche, Sussex, U.K.). After that, cell lysates were incubated with antibody against Argonaute2 (anti-Ago2, ab156870, Abcam, Cambridge, U.K.) or IgG (anti-IgG, ab150077, Abcam) for 2 h at 4°C before adding the protein A/G agarose (Sigma-Aldrich, Sydney, NSW, Australia) for 2 h. Beads were harvested, and total RNA was isolated, followed by the detection of the levels of circ_0000144, miR-623 and GPRC5A.

RIP kits (0101, Guangzhou Geneseed Biotech Co., Ltd., Guangzhou, China) were used to detect the binding of miR-141-3p to SIRT1 3’UTR. Cells were lysed with an equal volume of RIPA lysate (P0013B, Beyotime) for 5 min, and centrifuged at 14000 rpm for 10 min at 4° C to take the supernatant. Part of the cell extract was taken as input, and part of it was incubated with rabbit anti-AGO2 (1:100, ab156870, Abcam) at room temperature for 30 mi, with rabbit anti-human IgG (1:100, ab109489, Abcam) as an NC. The sample was digested with proteinase K to extract RNA, which was used for subsequent RT-qPCR to detect miR-141-3p and SIRT1 expression.

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.
