Cells were seeded in a 24 well plate in triplicates, and were transfected using Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen, Life Technology) with either M50 Super 8x TOPFlash (Addgene plasmid #12456) or M51 Super 8x FOPFlash (Addgene plasmid #12457) reporter construct (kindly provided by Dr. Randal Moon [35 (link)]) and pRLSV40 (Promega). After 24 hours of transfection, cells were lysed and analyzed for expression of firefly and Renilla luciferase activity using the Dual-Luciferase Reporter Assay System (Promega) according to manufacturer’s instructions. The TOPFlash/FOPFlash ratio was calculated following normalization by the Renilla luciferase activity from pRLSV40.

Luciferase assays were performed in HEK293 as described in Ref. [30 (link)]. Briefly, cells were transfected with β-catenin/TCF-responsive reporter TOP-FLASH (M50 Super 8x TOPFlash, Addgene, Cat#12456), together with CMV-β-gal [30 (link)] to normalize for transfection efficiency with CPRG (Roche).

After 24 h luciferase reporter plasmid was transiently transfected using TransIT®-LT1 Transfection Reagent (Mirus). 48 h after transfection, cells were left untreated or treated with the compounds for 8 h and then harvested in Luc lysis buffer (25 mM Tris pH 7.8, 2.5 mM EDTA, 10% glycerol, 1% NP-40, 2 mM DTT). Luciferase activity was determined in a Tecan plate luminometer with freshly reconstituted assay reagent (0.5 mM D-Luciferin, 20 mM tricine, 1 mM (MgCO3)-4 mM Mg(OH)2, 2.7 mM MgSO4, 0.1 mM EDTA, 33 mM DTT, 0.27 mM CoA, 0.53 mM ATP).

1×105 cells/well were plated in 24 well plates. After 24 hrs. cells were transfected with pRL-RLuc-Myc (Promega, Madison WI) and M50 Super8x TOPflash (Addgene Plasmid # 12456) [45 (link)], plasmids at a 1:16 ratio. MDA-MB-436 were co-transfected with 500ng CD177-myc, E-cadherin or empty pcDNA3 plasmids, alone or together. H146 cells were co-transfected with 25 nM CD177 or Non-targeting siRNAs (L-020431-00-0005, D-001810-10-20; Dharmacon, Lafayette, CO). 24 hrs. after transfection, media was collected and 400 ng/mL recombinant Wnt3a (R & D Systems, Minneapolis MN) or vehicle was added and distributed back to the cells. For 67NR cells, following transfection 1×105 cells were plated in polyHEMA coated 24-well plates for 24 hrs. prior to treatment with WNT3a. Luciferase levels were measured using the Dual-Luciferase Reporter Assay System (Promega) 24 hrs. after treatment. Sequence for CD177 siRNA was as follows: ACACGUUGAUGCUCAUUGA, CAGUUCAGCAUGUGUGGAA, GCAACAACCUCGUUAACUC and GGACCACCAUUAUGACACA.

Editase expressing cells were transfected as described above in technical duplicates (SNAP-CDAR-S) or quadruplicates (Cas RESCUE-S). Cells were transfected with either M50 Super 8x TOPFlash (Addgene, #12456) or M51 Super 8x FOPFlash (Addgene, #12457) and with pcDNA3.1 expressing Renilla Luciferase for normalization. Samples were also transfected either empty, or with CTNNB1 T41-targeting (snap)2-gRNA or gRNA expressing plasmid (RESCUE-S), or with PPIB R7C-targeting (snap)2-gRNA or gRNA expressing plasmid (RESCUE-S), or with CTNNB1 T41-targeting NH2-gRNA or plasmid expressing no gRNA (RESCUE-S) in a 96-well format. Cells were lysed with 30 μl (SNAP-CDAR-S) or 20 μl (Cas RESCUE-S) per well of Passive Lysis Buffer (Promega) and shaken for 15 min. at room temperature. Luciferase signal was measured as described before (26 (link)) using the Dual-Luciferase® Reporter Assay System (Promega) following manufacturer's instructions with a Spark 10 M plate reader (Tecan). Briefly, 10 μl of each replicate (two of the four wells for RESCUE-S were pooled) were measured by addition of 35 μl of Luciferase Assay Reagent II (LAR II, Promega) and 35 μl of Stop & Glo® Reagent, and measured for 10 seconds, respectively. Editing yield was determined as described above. All luminescence measurements and editing yield determinations were conducted in biological triplicates.

Cells were assayed according to the manufacturer’s protocol. TOPFlash vectors were obtained from Addgene (M51 Super 8x FOPFlash/TOPFlash mutant, #12457; M50 Super 8x TOPFlash, 12456). Melanoma cells were plated to achieve 70% confluency in 6-well plates. Cells were co-transfected with pTK-RLuc (Green Renilla Luciferase) along with either Topflash or Fopflash vectors. After 48 hours, cells were harvested and luciferase activity was measured using the Dual-Luciferase® Reporter (DLR ) Assay System (Promega, E1910), where firefly luciferase signal was normalized to its corresponding Renilla Luciferase signal. TOPflash/FOPflash signal was determined from each treatment and graphed using GraphPad Prism.

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.
