Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To investigate the regulating function of miR-488 on FSCN1, cells were co-transfected with pGLC-FSCN1-3′UTR or pGLC-FSCN1-3′UTR-Mut, miR-488 mimic or inhibitor, and pRL-SV40 (Promega, USA), using Lipofectamine 3000 (Invitrogen, USA). And to explore the transcriptional regulation of miR-488 expression, cells were co-transfected with pGLE-miR-488-pro or pGLE-miR-488-pro-Mut, pCLE-N3ICD or pCLE (vector), and pRL-SV40 (Promega, USA), using Lipofectamine 3000 (Invitrogen, USA). Luciferase and Renilla signals were examined 36 h after transfection using a Dual-Luciferase Reporter Assay Kit (E1910, Promega) according to the manufacturer’s protocol.

Quantifying Wnt/β-catenin Transcriptional Activity

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The transcriptional activity of Wnt/β-catenin signaling was assessed using TOPflash and FOPflash reporters (Upstate Biotechnology, Lake Placid, NY, USA). TOPflash includes six wildtype β-catenin/TCF-binding sites upstream of a luciferase reporter, while FOPflash containing six mutant β-catenin/TCF-binding sites is employed as the control of TOPflash [25 (link)]. When cells reached 70–90% confluency in 24-well plates, pcDNA3.1-DVL3 or shDVL3 was co-transfected with TOPflash plus pRL-SV40 or FOPflash plus pRL-SV40 into CRC cells for 48 h. Subsequently, we used to a dual-luciferase assay (Promega Corporation, Madison, WI, USA) to test the activities of TOPflash and FOPflash reporters. The reporter activity of each sample was normalized against Renilla reporter pRL-SV40 (Promega Corporation, Madison, WI, USA) activity to monitor transfection efficiency.

The HEK293T cells were cultured in DMEM supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum and 1% v/v penicillin and streptomycin. The cells were grown to 80% confluency at 37 °C, under an atmosphere containing 5% CO2 and then were plated in 96-well plates (15,000 cells per well). For luciferase assays, the HEK293T cells were transfected with 50 ng pcDNA3-PPARγ WT, 70 ng PPRE-X3-TK-luc (1015; Bruce Spiegelman, Addgene, Cambridge, MA, USA), and 10 ng pRL-SV40 (Promega, Wallisellen, Switzerland) using Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) according to the manufacturer’s instruction. The cells were incubated for 24 h and then treated with 10 μM, 1.25 μM, 156.26 nM, 19.53 nM, and 2.44 nM butyrolactone I or pioglitazone. The luciferase activity was determined 20 h later with the Dual-Glo® Luciferase Assay System 2000 (Promega), according to the manufacturer’s instruction, and the obtained results were normalized with the Renilla luciferase signal obtained with the pRL-SV40 plasmid. The relative luciferase units of treated cells over DMSO-treated control cells were plotted.

A luciferase reporter plasmid with p53 binding sites, PG13-luc [42 (link)] was a gift from Bert Vogelstein (Addgene plasmid #16442). A control Renilla luciferase plasmid, pRL-SV40, was purchased from Promega (Madison, WI, USA).
Luciferase reporter assays of transiently transfected cells were performed essentially as described previously [18 (link), 43 (link)]. In brief, cells were electroporated with PG13-luc as well as pRL-SV40 and treated with or without the p53 inhibitors and etoposide as described before harvesting for the luciferase assay using Dual-Luciferase Reporter Assay System (Promega) according to the manufacturer's instructions.

HEK293T cells were cultured in Dulbecco Modified Eagles’ Medium (DMEM; glucose 1 g/L) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum and 1% (v/v) penicillin and streptomycin. Cells were grown to 80% confluency at 37 °C under an atmosphere containing 5% CO2 and then plated in 96-well plates (10,000 cells per well).

The media were changed to the culture media after 4 h and the cells were incubated for additional 48 h. Luciferase activity was determined using Dual-Glo® Luciferase Assay System 2000 (Promega), according to the manufacturer’s instruction and the resulting signals were normalized with Renilla luciferase signals obtained from pRL-SV40 plasmids. Relative luciferase units were plotted.

Hypoxia-responsive element reporter assay

Twenty-four hours after seeding at 2 × 105 cells/well in 6-well plates, cells were transiently transfected using the Lipofectamine 2000 reagent (Life Technologies) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. The nHRE+ and nHRE− vectors were co-transfected with pRL-SV40 (Promega) as a control vector for transfection efficiency, because in preliminary experiments we found that the expression of pRL-SV40 was less influenced by hypoxia than pRL-TK (Promega) and pRL-CMV (Promega) were. On the other hand, dual-luc-nHRE vectors containing both firefly and Renilla luciferases were transfected on their own. Twelve hours later, the culture dishes were washed in growth medium twice and cells were exposed to hypoxic conditions (1, 2, 4, 8, and 16 % O2 or DFO 20, 40, 80, 160, and 320 µg/mL growth medium). Immediately after hypoxic stress, cell lysates were prepared with 250 µL of passive lysis buffer using the Dual Luciferase Assay kit (Promega), and luciferase activities were measured with a luminometer according to the manufacturer’s protocol. The results were expressed as the relative ratio of firefly luciferase activity to Renilla luciferase activity for correction of transfection efficiency in experiments using nHRE+ and nHRE−, and as the ratio of bidirectional activity in experiments using dual-luc-nHRE. These experiments were performed in triplicate.

As an internal control, all plasmids were co‐transfect with 0.02 μg pRL‐SV40 (Promega). The pGL3‐Basic vector without an insert and pGL3‐Control vector (Promega) were used as a negative control and a positive control respectively. Cells were collected 48 h after transfection, and cell lysates were prepared according to the manufacturer's instructions. Luciferase activity was measured with a Dual‐Luciferase Reporter Assay System (Promega) and normalized to the activity of pRL‐SV40 with the Renilla luciferase gene. Independent triplicate experiments were performed for each construct.

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.
