Cells stably expressing UbV-AA or UbV-CC4 were generated using lentiviruses. First, Gateway technology was used to transfer the UbV genes into pSCRPSY lentiviral vectors containing red fluorescent protein (RFP) and a puromycin resistance gene (C. Rice, The Rockefeller University, NY). Lentivirus was generated by transfecting Lenti-X 293 cells (Clontech) with packaging vectors expressing vesicular stomatitis virus protein G (VSV-G), pPAX2-HIV-gag (Addgene), and pSCRPSY-FLAG-UbV using XtremeGene9 (Roche). After 3 days, supernatants were collected, centrifuged 5 min at 1,000 × g, and filtered through a 0.45-μm-pore-size filter. HEPES and Polybrene were added to reach final concentrations of 20 mM and 4 μg/ml, respectively. Lentiviruses were stored at −80°C until further use. Stable A549 and A549-RIG-I KO cell lines were generated by puromycin selection after transduction.

Pseudotyped lentiviral particles containing HuR or MEF2C were produced by transfection of pTRIPO‐HuR or pTRIPO‐MEF2C and lentiviral packaging plasmid mixture into Lenti‐X 293 cells (Clontech, Mountain View, CA), following the manufacturer's protocol. Briefly, 6×106 Lenti‐X cells were seeded in 10‐cm plates 24 hours before transfection. Then, cells were transfected using SuperFect (Qiagen) with pTRIPO‐HuR or pTRIPO‐MEF2C (vector plasmids), along with the lentiviral packaging helper plasmids psPAX and pMD2.G. Plasmids psPAX2 (plasmid no. 12260; Addgene, Cambridge, MA) and pMD2.G (plasmid no. 12259; Addgene) were gifts of Dr Didier Trono (School of Life Sciences, École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland). Cell culture medium was changed after 24 hours, and then lentivirus containing medium was collected over 24‐hour periods for 2 days. After collection, PEG‐it Virus Precipitation Solution (System Biosciences, Palo Alto, CA) was added, and the mixture was stored at 4°C overnight, followed by centrifugation to concentrate the lentiviral particles. Concentrated lentiviral solution was stored at −80°C.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
IgK-Leader sequence with TATp was Gibson cloned into the original pMAL-TatP-mCherry-HA-NLS-ZF00-KRAB via SalI and AscI. The transgene was excised from pMAL backbone via SalI (NEB, Ipswich, MA, United States) and PstI (NEB), followed by blunting with DNA Polymerase I (NEB) cloned into our pCCLc-MNDU3-X2-WPRE vector via SmaI (NEB) restriction site. Clones were subsequently Sanger sequenced confirmed (Quintara Biosciences, South San Francisco, CA, United States). Lentivirus was prepared accordingly to previously published protocols (Kalomoiris et al., 2012 (link)). Briefly, lentivirus was generated by complexing 25 μg of transgene vector, 25 μg of delta 8.9, and 5 μg were VSVG with 145 μg of PEI in 3 ml serum-free DMEM-HG (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, United States, Catalog #11965118) for 20 min prior to application to 2.5 × 106 Lenti-X 293 cells (Takara Bio, Kusatsu, Japan, Catalog #632180). Twenty-four hours following transfection, cells were switched to serum-free Ultraculture (Lonza, Basel, Switzerland, Catalog #BP12-725F) for 48 h. Viral harvest was performed by transferring the supernatant of transfected Lenti-X 293 cells into 50 ml conical tubes, centrifuged at 500 RPM for 5 min to pellet cellular debris, and virus was isolated in a 100 kDa Centricon (MilliporeSigma, Burlington, MA, United States, Catalog #UFC710008).

Lenti-X 293 cells (Takara, 632180) were transfected with pMD2G (Addgene, 12259), psPAX2 (Addgene, 12260), and shRNA carrying plasmids (Sigma SHC202 for non-specific knockdown; TRCN0000075984 and TRCN0000309816 for GLUL knockdown; TRCN0000031905 and TRCN0000295140 for PEPD knockdown; TRCN0000256401 and TRCN0000256403 for PRODH knockdown) via 1:2:2.5 ratio using Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen, 11668019) according to the manufacturer’s manual. After 24 h transfection, medium was replenished with fresh DMEM medium containing 10% FBS. Lentivirus-containing media was filtered (0.45 μm), mixed 1:1 with fresh media containing 10 μg/ml polybrene, and used to infect TSCs maintained at 32oC. To increase knockdown efficiency infections were repeated at least twice per day. TSCs were recovered in DMEM containing 10% FBS for one day and then split into media containing 2.5 ug/ml Puromycin and cultured at 37 °C for 48 h. Cells were trypsinized and plated in co-culture experiments, or collected for molecular analysis as indicated.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Lentiviral plasmid backbone pLV-EGFP-T2a was a generous donation by Corey Anderson from the Giovanni Manfredi Lab at Weill Cornell Medicine. Restriction free cloning was used to insert Hif-1α TM and Hif-1α C-term from pcDNA3.1 vectors previously created in the lab (Villa et al., 2014) into the pLV-EGFP-T2a backbone following the T2a linker. Amino acids 1-80, containing the DNA binding domain of Hif-1α was deleted using Q5 site-directed mutagenesis kit (NEB). All constructs were validated by Sanger Sequencing (Genewiz).
Lentiviral particles were produced in LentiX-293 cells (Takara) using a second-generation system following a standard protocol [17 (link)]. In brief, LentiX-293 cells were transfected with the pLV vector containing cDNA inserts, packaging vector pCMV- Δ8.91, and VSVG envelope vector pMD2.G using Lipofectamine 3000. After 6 h, media was completely changed to Neurobasal Media plus 2% B27 supplement, L-glutamax, and 5 mM HEPES. Culture media was collected 48 h later, and the resulting lentivirus was spun at 1000 x g to remove debris, filtered through a 0.45 μm PVDF filter, and frozen in aliquots at −80 °C until use.

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.
