Establishing Galectin-3 Knockout in A2780 Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HOMECs (ScienCell Research Laboratories) were cultured in endothelial cell medium (ECM; catalog no. 1001), and ovarian carcinoma A2780 cells (Sigma-Aldrich, catalog no. 93112519) were cultured in RPMI 1640 medium. Each was supplemented with penicillin (100 U ml−1) and streptomycin (100 μg ml−1). Tumor KO-g3 A2780 cells were developed using CRISPR-Cas9 methods and selected on puromycin (1 mM). Single guide RNAs (gRNAs) targeting the exon 3 of galectin-3 were designed for the KO study. The designed guides were screened in silico for off-target activity using the CRISPR search with mismatches, insetions and/or deletions (COSMID) webtool (53 (link)), and the gRNA (CATGATGCGTTATCTGGGTC) with the least number of off targets was selected for the KO experiments. The guide was delivered as a ribonucleoprotein complex with Cas9 to the A2780 cell line using an optimized nucleofection protocol.

FOXM1 Expression and Silencing in Ovarian Cancer Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
SKOV3 cells were obtained from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) and were cultured in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (Gibco BRL, Gaithersburg, MD). A2780 cells were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich Corporation (St. Louis, MO) and were cultured in RPMI 1640. All cells were cultured with 10% fetal bovine serum (Gibco BRL, Gaithersburg, MD), 100 U/mL penicillin (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA), and 100 mg/mL streptomycin, and were incubated at 37°C in 5% CO2 humidified air. Cells were cytogenetically tested and authenticated before being frozen. Transfections were performed with Lipofectamine 2000 reagent (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) using 1–2 mg of expression vector/ml serum-free medium as described by the manufacturer. The coding regions of FOXM1 were inserted into pcDNA3.1 (Clontech, Mountain View, CA). A lentiviral vector carrying FOXM1 shRNA was used to silence FOXM1 in A2780 and SKOV3 cells, and stable clones were generated by puromycin selection.

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.
