Lentiviral Knockdown and Transient Silencing of TUSC4, BRCA1, and HERC2

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Stable knockdown of TUSC4 expression was established via RNA interference using lentiviral vector short hairpin RNA (Sigma; MISSION; NM660545). TUSC4 was targeted with a lentiviral particle of MISSION short hairpin RNA as well as MISSION nontargeted control particles. Western blotting was performed after transduction to confirm the knockdown efficiency, and puromycin was added to U2OS cell medium to maintain the TUSC4-knockdown specificity. For transient transfection, human TUSC4 siRNA was purchased from Thermo Scientific (On-Target; 10641), and the TUSC4 target sequences were GCAUCGAACACAAGAAGUA and GACCCAAGAUCACCUAUCA. Human BRCA1 siRNA was purchased from Thermo Scientific (On-Target; J-003461-09), and the BRCA1 target sequence was CAACAUGCCCACAGAUCAA. Human Herc2 siRNA was purchased from Thermo Scientific (On-Target; J-007180-09, J-007180-10, J-007180-11, and J-007180-12), and the Herc2 target sequences were 5′-GCACAGUAUCACAGGUA-3′, 5′-CGAUGAAGGUUUGGUAUUU-3′, 5′-GAUAAUACGACACAGCUAA-3′, and 5′-GCAGAUGUGUGCUAAGAUG-3′, respectively.

Knockdown of CYP3A5, HNF4A, and NR1I2 in PACO cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
PACO cells were grown to 80% confluency. The transfection reagent Dharmafect 4 (Thermo Scientific), nOn-Targeting (NT-control) and CYP3A5, HNF4A or NR1I2 siRNA (On-Target plus SMARTpool Thermo Scientific, Supplementary Table 12) were pre-incubated at RT for 5 min at a ratio of 1:4 in IMDM culture medium (Gibco). For the HNF4A and NR1I2 double knockdown, the individual siRNAs were pre-incubated together at a ratio of 1:8 in IMDM culture medium (Gibco). Dharmafect 4 was then combined with the siRNAs and incubated for further 20 min at RT. The mixture was then added to the PACO culture medium. The culture medium was aspirated and the transfection agent-RNA complex mixture was added to the monolayer. Flasks were incubated at 37 °C for 72 h until further analysis.

Cells (1 × 106/transfection) were transfected with siRNA using an Amaxa Nucleofector (Lonza, Basel, Switzerland) according to the manufacturer’s protocols as described previously20 (link). MMCs were trypsinized and resuspended in Basic Nucleofection Solution at 1 × 107/ml. Subsequently, 100 μl of cell suspension (1 × 106 cells) was mixed with 15 nM of ON-TARGET plus siRNA or negative controls (Thermo Fischer Scientific Inc., Waltham, MA) as indicated. Transfected cells were harvested for RNA and protein isolation at indicated times.

HepG2 cells were transfected with RNAi duplexes via RNAi MAX Lipofectamine reagent (Invitrogen, NY, USA). SREBP-1c was silenced in cells with ON-TARGET plus siRNAs SMARTpool (L-006891-00-0005) and parallel cells with ON-TARGET plus NON-TARGETing Pool (D-001810-10-05) at a concentration of 10 nM (Thermo Scientific). ATF6α was silenced in cells with duplex siRNAs (HSS177036) at a concentration of 10 nM (Invitrogen). Parallel cell cultures were transfected with equal concentrations (10 nM) of Stealth negative universal control (Invitrogen). At 24 hours after transfection, the medium was replaced with complete growth medium containing OA/PA (1 mM) and BBR (5 μM).

For transfection, isolated BMDMs were differentiated with 20 ng/ml M-CSF for 1 week and transfected afterwards with 150 nM SMARTpool ON-TARGET plus siArnt or ON-TARGET plus NON-TARGETing pool siCtrl (both Thermo Scientific, Karlsruhe, Germany) using Hiperfect transfection reagent (Quiagen, Hilden, Germany). Therefore, BMDMs were incubated in medium without FCS containing siRNA and Hiperfect. After 6 h, medium containing M-CSF (final concentration of 20 ng/ml) was added and after 24 h cells were stimulated with MCA (5 μg/ml) or dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) as a control for 8 h.

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.
