On target smart pools

Manufactured by Horizon Discovery

On-target smart pools are a collection of pre-designed and validated CRISPR guide RNAs (crRNAs) that are optimized to target a specific gene. The smart pools are designed to maximize on-target editing efficiency while minimizing off-target effects.

pCMV6-TUSC3, pCMV6-NM23H1, and pCMV6-Synoviolin (HRD1)-Flag plasmids were purchased from Origene. pcDNA-IRE1α-GFP, pcDNA-TP53-GFP, pcDNA-Ubiquitin-HA plasmids were purchased from Addgene Company. For the TUSC3, the cDNAs were subcloned into pcDNA4.1-V5-His vector with EcoR I and Xho I restriction sites or pcDNA3-HA vector with Hind III restriction site. The 3’UTR of TUSC3-1 and TUSC3-2 plasmids were purchased from Origene and the 3’UTRs were subcloned into pGL3 Vectors with Xho I restriction site. On-Target Smart Pools containing 4 different siRNAs on each target gene of TUSC3, TP53, HRD1, ATF6α or NM23H1 were purchased from Dharmacon company. The primer sets for gene manipulation are shown in Supplementary Tables 1.

Cell Line Authentication and Viability Assays

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Sources of cell lines are as previously described (21 (link)). All cell lines have been maintained in a central bank at Moffitt Cancer Center since 2008, authenticated by STR analysis (ACTG Inc, Wheeling, IL) as of September 2010, and are routinely tested and negative for mycoplasma (PlasmoTest, InvivoGen, San Diego, CA). Experiments were conducted <15 passages post thaw. Viability assays were conducted with Cell Titer Glo assay kits (Promega) and read on Spectramax M5 plate reader. For siRNA-mediated knockdown, On-Target Smartpools (Dharmacon) were used and transfections performed with Lipofectamine RNAiMax (Invitrogen).

Genetic Perturbation in Breast Cell Lines

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
MCF10A and MDA-MB-231 knockdown cells were obtained by transfecting 20 nM siRNAs with Lipofectamine RNAiMAX (Invitrogen). siRNAs were Dharmacon ON-TARGET SMART Pools (L-010259-00-0010 for PPP2R1A, L-032698-00-0010 for NHSL1, L-010640-00-0010 for NCKAP1) or Sigma siRNAs CCTTTGTACGCTTTGCTCA and GCCACTACAACAGAATTTT to target RAC1. Cells were analyzed after 3 days.
MCF10A knockout cell lines were generated with CRISPR/Cas9 system. The following gRNAs were used:
PPP2R1A 5′-CATAGACGAACTCCGCAATG-3′
NHSL1 5′-TCGGCTTTCCTCATCTAGGT-3′
non-targeting 5′-AAAUGUGAGAUCAGAGUAAU-3′.
Cells were transfected with gRNA, tracrRNA, and Cas9 protein by Lipofectamine CRISPRMAX™ (all reagents from ThermoFischer Scientific). After 2 days, cells were diluted at 0.8 cells/well in 96-well plates. Single clones were expanded and analyzed by western blot. The positive clones were confirmed by sequencing.

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.
