Lentiviral Knockdown of LIPG

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
shRNA targeting LIPG (target sequence: 5′-TTACACGGATGCGGTCAATAA-3′), which was cloned into a lentiviral-based pLKO.1-puro expression vector, was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich. Lentiviral particles were produced in packaging cells (293FT cells) by co-transfection with packaging plasmids. Stable LIPG knockdown (KD) cells were selected using the puromycin selectable marker.

Investigating AKR1C3 Knockdown in Prostate Cell Lines

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
ShRNA targeting AKR1C3 oligonucleotides containing the short hairpin sequence (Sigma–Aldrich) were annealed and inserted in a pcDNA3.1 vector (Invitrogen). Stably transfected cells were exposed to 100 mg/ml neomycin sulphate (Sigma–Aldrich) as a selection agent. Human prostate cell lines used RWPE-1, LNCaP, PC-3, DU 145 were purchased from American Type Cell Culture (ATCC) Manassas, Virginia USA. RWPE-1 cells were maintained within keratinocyte serum free medium (K-SFM) (Invitrogen GIBCO) used in combination with the recommended supplements of bovine pituitary extract (0.05 mg/ml) (BPE) and human recombinant epidermal growth factor (5ng/ml) (EGF). LNCaP, PC-3 and DU 145 cells were maintained in RPMI 1640 medium (Sigma–Aldrich) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (Invitrogen), 2 mM l-glutamine and containing 100 units/ml penicillin and 100 μg/ml Streptomycin. Cells were kept at 37 °C in 95% air and 5% CO2. Cells were washed in sterile phosphate buffered saline (PBS) and split using Trypsin-EDTA (Sigma–Aldrich) and seeded into new flasks containing fresh media. All experiments were conducted using cells between passages 15 and 28.

Generation of SOX4-depleted HMLE Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To generate SOX4-depleted HMLE cells and respective control, two independent pLKO.1-puro lentiviral constructs expressing shRNA targeting SOX4 (Sigma) or expressing shRNA control were used, respectively. Lentivirus particles were produced by transfection of HEK293T cells with 3.25 ug of Pax2, 1.8 μg of pMD2.G and 5 μg of shRNA contracts. Twenty four hours after transfection, medium was replaced by MEGM:DMEM/F12 media. Viral supernatants were collected 24 h after and filtered through a 0.22 μm filter and added to the HMLE cells. Cells were selected using 1μg/ml of puromycin (invivoGen). Cells were maintained in 1 μg/ml of puromycin through the cell culture.

Histone Mutant Expression and Epigenetic Enzyme Purification

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Doxycycline (Sigma; 10,000 × stock solution; 1 mg/ml) was resuspended in 70% ethanol. Biotin (BioShop and Sigma) was prepared as a 1000 × stock solution (50 mM) by dissolving 250 mg in 2 ml 30% v/v NH4OH on ice and neutralized by slowly adding 18 ml HCl (1 N), before sterile filtration through a 0.22 µm filter and storage at 4 °C. Chaetocin (Selleck) and OTS186935 (MedChemExpress) were dissolved in DMSO, aliquoted, and stored at − 80 °C.
H3.3 (H3-3a) or H3.1 (H3C2) cDNA that was WT or had K27M or G34R mutations was amplified from existing cDNA stocks and cloned between the XbaI/BamHI sites of a pCDH-CMV-MCS-EF1α-Hygro (SystemBioscience) previously modified to encode a FLAG/HA tag between the BamHI/NotI sites. K9M mutations were introduced with the Q5 site-directed mutagenesis kit (NEB). pcDNA5-FLAG-BirA* plasmids to create Flp-In T-REx HEK293 cells were generated as previously described [34 (link)]. Bacterial histone expression vectors were created by cloning cDNA into pET3a [17 (link)]. EHMT2 cDNA was amplified from pLenti6-MK1-EHMT2-V5 (Addgene #31113) and cloned between the KpnI and EcoRI sites of pFastBac (Invitrogen) to create pFastBac_EHMT2. SUV39H2 cDNA was amplified from a HEK293T cDNA library and inserted by Gibson assembly into pDest_pACE1 to create pACE1_SUV39H2. All plasmids were sequenced before use. shRNA targeting H3K9 methylases were from Sigma.

Lentiviral Manipulation of CAMK2A and SOX2

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
ShRNA targeting human CAMK2A and EZH2 were from Sigma-Aldrich (St Louis, MO). ShRNA targeting SOX2 a and b (26353, 26352), the negative control vector pLKO.1-puro (1864), the envelope vector pMD2.G (12259) and packaging vector psPAX2 (12260) were from Addgene (Cambrige, MA; http://www.addgene.org). Human full length CAMK2A was cloned into PCDH-CMV-MCS-EF1-COPGFP vector (SBI, Mountain View, CA) for stable CAMK2A overexpression. pSin-EF2-SOX2-Pur (16577, Addgene) was used for stable SOX2 overexpression. Lentiviral production and infection were performed as previously described10 . Stable cells were either selected by treating puromycin (2 µg/ml, Sigma-Aldrich) or by FACS using BD Aria (BD Biosciences).

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.
