HEK293T cells (ATCC CRL-3216) were cultured in DMEM (Gibco 31966-021, Waltham, MA, USA) with 10% FBS and plated in 10 cm dishes. Cells were allowed to become ~90% confluent prior to transfection. A total of 5 μg of pLenti-C-Myc-DDK-PKD1L1 WT or variant was transfected per dish using the Lenti-vpak Lentiviral Packaging Kit (OriGene TR30037), following the manufacturer’s instructions. After 18 h, the culture medium was exchanged, and at 48 and 72 h post-transfection, the medium was collected and centrifuged at 600× g for 2 min. The supernatant was filtered through a 0.45 μm filter, and aliquots were stored at −80 °C until required.

The Ku86-specific shRNA lentiviral construct pGFP-C-Ku86-shRNALenti (TL502435) and non-effective 29-mer scrambled shRNA lentiviral construct pGFP-C-scr-shLenti (TR30021) were obtained from Origene Technologies. To generate the lentivirus, pGFP-C-shLenti vector and packaging vectors were used to cotransfect HEK293T cells according to the manufacturer's instructions (Lenti-vpak Lentiviral Packaging Kit, Origene). Viral supernatants were collected and used to transduce Rad52+/+ and Rad52−/− B cells. Transduced B cells were then stimulated with LPS plus IL-4 for 96 h before analysing GFP+ and IgG1+ B cells by flow cytometry—dead (7-AAD+) cells were excluded from analysis. Expressions of Rad52, Ku86 and β-Actin proteins in the transduced B cells were analysed by immunoblotting.

Lentiviral expression vectors with CMV promoters driving GFP-tagged human Sam68 and FADD were purchased from Origene (PS100093, RC200263L4, RC201805L4). Lentiviral particles containing these vectors were isolated using the Lenti-vpak Lentiviral Packaging Kit (Origene, TR30037) as directed by the manufacturer. When ready to transduce, lentivirus was thawed rapidly at 37 °C. Cells were seeded 50,000 cells in 1 mL maintenance media without any antibiotics into 6 well plates and reverse transduced with 500 μL of virus per well. Control wells were seeded in the absence of virus. After 48 h, cell lines were selected with puromycin at the following doses: MCF-10A .4 μg/mL for selection and maintenance, all cells grown in DMEM were selected at 2 μg/mL and maintained at 0.5 μg/mL, and all cells grown in RPMI were selected at 0.5 μg/mL and maintained at 0.25 μg/mL. After selection, cells were then flow-sorted at the Vanderbilt Flow Cytometry Shared Resource on the FACSAria III (BD) for the top 1% of GFP expression from the baseline cell pools and utilized in indicated experiments.

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.
