The mouse HMGB1 gene was stably transduced to the knockout cells or wild-type cells using a Lentivirus system. Preparation of viral vector was as follows: 1 μg of a mouse HMGB1 lentiviral cDNA ORF clone, pLV-mHMGB1-GFPSpark (Sino Biological) and 1 μg 3rd Generation Packaging Mix (Applied Biological Materials) was transfected into 5 × 105 293 T cells (Takara Bio) using 6 μl TransIT-Lenti transfection reagent (Mirus Bio, LLC) at 37 °C for 48 h according to the manufacturer’s instruction. Recombinant virus was concentrated by Lenti-X Concentrator (Takara Bio), checked for its titer using the Lenti-X GoStix Plus (Takara Bio) and stored at − 80 °C until use. Lentiviral vector (3800 GoStix values compatible to 9.8 × 104 infection units) was transduced into 4 × 104 cells (MOI = 2.5) of knockout clones or WT cells with 8 μg/ml polybrene at 37 °C for 48 h. Then, the culture medium was changed to fresh medium not containing polybrene and the cells were diluted and put into a well of 96-well plate (0.2 cells/well) for single cell cloning. Expression of HMGB1-GFP fusion protein was confirmed by western blot analysis. After confirmation of HMGB1 expression, the cells were expanded and used for further study within two weeks of in vitro culture to avoid loss of HMGB1 expression.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Lentiviral particles containing pMH0001 (UCOE-SFFV-dCas9-BFP-KRAB, Addgene #85969) were produced by transfecting HEK293T cells with standard packaging vectors using the TransIT-Lenti Transfection Reagent (Mirus Bio, MIR 6605). M10G cells were stably transduced with lentiviral particles to generate M10GdCas9-KRAB cells by isolating BFP-expressing cells using fluorescence activated cell sorting on a Sony SH800.
Single-guide RNA (sgRNA) protospacer sequences were individually cloned into the pCRISPRia-v2 vector (Addgene plasmid #84832), between the BstXI and BlpI sites, by ligation. Each vector was verified by Sanger sequencing of the protospacer. One sgRNA expression vector with the following protospacer was cloned for non-targeting control sgRNAs (ncRNA) (5′-GCTGCATGGGGCGCGAATCA-3′), PTCH1 sgRNAs (sgPTCH1) (5′-AAATGTACGAGCACTTCAAG-3′) and SMO sgRNAs (sgSMO) (5′-CAAGAACTACCGATACCGTG-3′). Lentivirus was generated as described above for each sgRNA expression vector, and M10GdCas9-KRAB cells were independently transduced with lentivirus from each sgRNA expression vector, then selected to purity using 20 μg/mL puromycin over 7 days.

Lenti-X HEK293T cells (Takara Bio) were seeded at a density of 4.5 × 106 cells per 10 cm dish 18–24 h prior to transfection. The prepared cells were co-transfected using the TransIT®-Lenti transfection reagent (Mirus Bio) with MISSION® Genomics Lentivirus Packaging Mix (Mirus Bio) and lentiviral plasmids containing i53 variants/libraries of interest. The viral supernatant was collected 48 h after transfection, passed through a 0.45 μm filter (Cytiva), flash frozen, and stored until use at -80 °C. Viral titers were measured by FACS in K562 cells and were typically ~0.5–1.5 × 107 TU/mL.

Lentivirus Production and Transduction

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To produce lentivirus, Lenti-X 293T cells (Takara Bio) were transfected with a transgene expression vector and the viral packaging plasmids pCMVdR8.91 and pMD2.G using TransIT-Lenti Transfection Reagent (Mirus Bio LLC). K562 tumor cells were originally obtained from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC), CCL-243. M28 tumor cells were originally obtained from B. Gerwin’s laboratory at the National Cancer Institute. Both M28 and K562 cell lines were transduced to exogenously express CD19 using lentiviral transduction and flow cytometry sorting to obtain a pure population with CD19 expression within a one log maximum width. Lentiviral concentration was performed 72 hours after Lenti-X 293T cell transfection through collection and filtration of the viral supernatant. Per 20mL of viral supernatant we added 4.58mL 50% PEG 8000 (final concentration 8%) and 2mL of 4M NaCl (final concentration 0.3M) for 6 to 8 hours. We pelleted the virus by spinning down cells at 3500rpm for 20 minutes at 4°C, decanted, and resuspended the pellet in 200μL phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). We then snap froze aliquots on dry ice for storage in a −80°C freezer.

Lenti-MS2-P65-HSF1 (Addgene) was modified such that P65 and HSF1 coding sequences were removed. ATRX cDNA corresponding to the amino acids A1282 to M2492 (including ATRX helicase domain) was cloned into the Lenti-MS2 plasmid in-frame with the MS2 coding sequence and the SV40 nuclear localization sequence. pLKO.1-based shRNAs (TRC Lentiviral shRNA, Open Biosystems) were used for ATRX (TRCN0000013588 and TRCN0000013589), EZH2 (TRCN0000353069) and REST (TRCN0000014787) knockdown experiments. For lentiviral vectors production HEK293T cells were co-transfected with 12 μg of lentiviral expression constructs, 8 μg of psPAX2 and 4 μg pMD2.G vectors using Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen) or TransIT-Lenti Transfection Reagent (Mirus), following manufacturer’s recommendations. At 48 and 72 hours post transfection, supernatants were collected and filtered (0.45 μm). NB cells were infected lentiviral supernatant supplemented with polybrene at a final concentration of 5 μg/mL.

The pLVX-TetOne-Puro-hAXL WT and the mutant hAXL(c.G1353C, p.W451C) expression vectors were separately cotransfected into HEK-293T cells with the lentiviral packaging carrier plasmid pLP VSV-G (Nova Lifetech, Cat# PVT2326) and the lentiviral packaging plasmid psPAX2 (a gift from Didier Trono, Addgene plasmid # 12260; http://n2t.net/addgene:12260; RRID:Addgene_12260) using TransIT-Lenti Transfection Reagent (Mirus, Cat# MIR 6604) following the manufacturer’s recommended protocol. Virus-containing medium was harvested 48 hours after transfection, purified by passage through a 0.45 μm pore-size filter, and used to transduce recipient HEK-293T cells in the presence of 8 μg polybrene/mL (Sigma-Aldrich, Cat# TR-1003). The transduced cells were selected by 2 μg puromycin/mL. Induction of expression of WT and W451C-mutant AXL protein was achieved with 0.1 μg doxycycline/mL, applied 96 hours before harvesting cellular protein for further analyses. Negative control HEK-293T cells were transduced and selected, but received buffer instead of doxycycline.

Viruses were produced as described previously.25 (link) For infections, 1 µg of constructs expressing human ion channel coding proteins RFP, Kv1.5-T2A-his-EGFP, or KCNJ2(Kir2.1)-Y242F-EGFP were used. For each construct, HEK293T cells at a confluency of 80% were used to transfect for virus production. Constructs were mixed with 0.5 µg helper (encoding gag/pol) and 0.1 µg encoding coat protein (pMD2) along with 6 µL TransIT-Lenti transfection reagent (MIR6603; Mirus Bio; Madison, WI) in 200 uL Opti-MEM (31,985,062; ThermoFisher Scientific; Waltham, MA). Culture media of HEK293T cells was replaced with Opti-MEM and 200µL of transfection mixture and cells were kept in transfection media overnight. Transfection media was replaced with DMEM containing 1% Pen/Strep the following day. Two days post-transfection media containing virus was collected and stored at −80 °C. Collection was repeated on the following day and the total virus collected was combined. To transduce cells, MDA-MB-231 or MDA-MB-468 cells were seeded in six-well plates at 2 × 105 cells per well in 2 mL DMEM containing 10 μg/mL polybrene and virus. The plates were centrifuged at 1500 r.p.m., 4 °C for 1 h and incubated at 37 °C. Medium was changed after 16 h. Infected cells were sorted by FACS and gating on eGFP-derived green fluorescence.

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.
