CFTR Genetic Editing Quantification

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For HEKs, genomic DNA (gDNA) was collected 72 h post-transfection. For CFBE cells and primary airway cells, gDNA was collected directly from snapwell filters after short circuit measurements were taken. Genomic DNA (gDNA) extraction was performed using the DNeasy Blood & Tissue Extraction Kit (QIAGEN, catalog no. 69504). Following extraction, editing was assessed by PCR amplification of the relevant CFTR exon (Table S1). For HEK and CFBE experiments PCR was performed with KOD hot start master mix (Millipore Sigma). For primary cells, PCR was performed using HotStarTaq DNA polymerase (QIAGEN, catalog no. 203203). For both cell lines and primary cells PCR products were purified, Sanger sequenced, and editing rate at the target site and bystander sites were quantified using EditR.34 (link)

cDNA was used as a template for RT-PCR performed with KOD hot start master mix (Millipore Sigma) and a forward primer bearing a 5′ 6FAM tag (Table S1). PCR products were separated on an Applied Biosystems 3730 DNA Analyzer capillary electrophoresis system at the Johns Hopkins Genetics Resources Core Facility (GRCF). GeneScan 500 Rox was used as an internal size standard. To calculate relative RNA isoform quantity, the area under the curve (AUC) for each isoform was compared with the total AUC for that sample. For assessment of missplicing after bystander editing (Figure S3) amplification from exon 16 to exon 19 allowed for determination of the relative abundance of normally spliced and exon 18 skipped transcript. For primary cells, amplification from exon 11 to exon 13 allowed for quantification of the relative abundance of transcript from the F508del allele (F508del) and transcript from the c.2988+1G>A allele (non-F508del) (Figure S6; Table S3).

Flanking primers with a 40 bp overlap were designed to amplify 700 bp up- and downstream of the gene of interest using SnapGene® (version 4.0.3) with the Gibson Assembly tool (Supplementary Table S1). Fragments were amplified using a high-fidelity polymerase mix (KOD Hot Start Master Mix, Millipore) and separated on a 1% agarose gel. Vectors were purified from overnight cultures using a plasmid miniprep kit (ZymoPURE™, ZymoResearch). Vectors were digested using EcoRI-HF and BamHI-HF (New England BioLabs) for 1 h at 37 °C, or PCR-amplified, and purified on agarose gel. Alternatively, vectors can also be amplified by long-range PCR. Final concentrations of amplificated fragments and digested vectors were measured using a microvolume spectrometer (Colibri®).

Two zones of fungal DNA were amplified by conventional PCR: ITS1-2 rRNA with the universal primers ITS1 (TCCGTAGGTGAACCTGCGGG) and ITS4 (TCCTCCGCTTATTGATGGC); and the D1/D2 domains of large sub-unit (LSU) ribosomal DNA (rDNA) with the universal primers NL1 (GCATCAATAAGCGGGAGGAAAG) and NL4 (GGTCCGTGTTTCAAGGGG). Reactions were prepared by combining 25 μL of KOD Hot start Master Mix (Sigma Aldrich®), 1.5 μL of each primer (10 μM), 18.5 μL of nuclease free water, and 3.5 μL DNA extract (20 ng/μL). DNA was amplified using the following conditions on a thermocycler: 94°C for 5 min, followed by 35 amplification cycles (94°C for 30 seconds, 55.7°C for ITS1-2 or 58.1°C for D1/D2 for 30 seconds, and 72°C for 60 seconds), with a final incubation of 72°C for 7 min. The PCR product was verified using 1.5% agarose gel electrophoresis and sequenced (Macrogen USA). The sequence of each PCR product was analyzed using Sequencher 5.4.6 Software (Gen Codes Corporation). Subsequently, the Nucleotide BLAST tool (NCBI) was used to align the observed sequence to known reference sequences.

The extracted genomic DNA was used as a template for amplified melittin sequencing. This study designed the primers using Geneious version 8.1.8 (forward primer: 5′ GGA ATT CCA TAT GGG AAT TGG AGC AGT TC3′ and reverse primer: 5′GGC GCG GAT CCT TAT TAC TGT TGC CT3′). The melittin gene was synthesized using the KOD Hot Start Master Mix (Merck Millipore, Darmstadt, Germany). The thermal cycling conditions were as follows: one cycle of initial denaturation at 95 °C for 2 min, 35 cycles of denaturation at 95 °C for 20 s, annealing at 55 °C for 10 s, and extension at 70 °C for 10 s. The PCR products were purified using the PureLink® Gel Extraction Kit (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA) and sequencing (Macrogen Inc., Seoul, Korea).

The neo gene copy number was determined by ddPCR as described above. Normalization to Tfrc gene copy number (two copies per diploid genome) allows for the calculation of neo frequency (i.e. neo copy number / Tfrc copy number). Short amplicons spanning the TyrC or FahPM mutation were generated by PCR using KOD Hot Start Master Mix (EMD Millipore, Cat. No. 71842-4). Amplicons generated from individual mice were labeled by using barcoded PCR primers (Supplementary Fig. 12). PCR products were purified using the QIAquick PCR Purification Kit (Qiagen, Cat. No. 28106). Purified amplicons from multiple mice were pooled, and the mixture was subjected to Single Molecule, Real-Time (SMRT) sequencing using an RSII Instrument (Pacific Biosciences), running the SMRT Analysis v2.3 software packages at the Deep Sequencing Core Facility at University of Massachusetts Medical School. Reads were de-multiplexed and aligned to custom reference sequences representing the Tyr or Fah amplicons using BWA-MEM on the Galaxy web-based platform for genome data analysis30 (link)–32 . “Mutation frequencies” at each locus were reported as the percentage of aligned reads carrying the TyrC allele (G-to-C mutation) or the FahPM allele (G-to-A mutation) among all reads that correctly map to the respective Tyr or Fah references, as assessed on the Integrative Genomes Viewer (IGV, version 2.3.98)33 (link).

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.
