Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The Lipofectamine RNAiMAX reagent protocol (Thermo Fisher) was used to transfect cells with siRNA. Briefly, 0.75 × 106 THP1 cells (50%-confluent) were transfected with the complexes containing 10 nM siRNA and 6 μl Lipofectamine RNAiMAX in 150 μl of Opti-MEM medium. The cells were incubated with siRNA–lipid complexes for 4 h, after which the mixture was aspirated and replaced with 1 ml of complete culture medium. Poly(I:C) (1 μg) was transfected into the cells with 6 μl Lipofectamine 3000 (Thermo Fisher) in 150 μl of Opti-MEM medium, according to the manufacturer protocol. Subsequent steps were the same as described above. For the transfections with the DOTAP Liposomal Transfection Reagent (Roche), 1 μg poly(I:C) was mixed with 8 μl of HBS buffer (20 mM HEPES, cell culture grade, 150 mM NaCl, pH 7.4) and 6 μl of DOTAP in 12 μl of HBS buffer. The cells were mixed with transfection complex in 0.3 ml of Opti-MEM medium, incubated for 4 h at 37°C and then cultured in the regular media for 48 h.

Selected siRNA molecules (On-TARGET plus SMARTpool, Dharmacon) were transfected using the DOTAP liposomal transfection reagent (Roche, Switzerland), as described in a previous study67 (link). Briefly, human pDCs were isolated from healthy donors by negative selection using the plasmacytoid Dendritic Cell Isolation Kit II (Miltenyi Biotec, Germany), with a purity of >95%, as determined by flow cytometry (Supplementary Fig. 1c). Isolated pDCs were seeded at 105 cells/100 μL in 96-well plates and incubated at 37 °C. siRNAs were diluted in PBS for a final concentration of 160 nM and mixed with 1:1 with DOTAP (Roche). The mix was incubated at room temperature for 15 minutes and then added to cells and incubated for 24 h without medium change. After 24 h post transfection, a small cell sample was collected to check the gene silencing efficacy by qPCR; the remaining cells were infected with ZIKV at a MOI of 1. At defined time points after infection, total ZIKV RNA was quantified by quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) as described in our previous study16 (link).

Stable lines were generated by co-transfection of expression constructs with pCoHygro (Life Technologies) using the DOTAP Liposomal Transfection Reagent (Roche) and selection for hygromycin resistance at 100 ug/mL (Life Technologies). Transient transfections were conducted using the TransIT-2020 reagent (Mirus), and live imaging was performed 72 hours later. RNAi was performed with dsRNA generated from MEGAScript T7 Transcription kit (Life Technologies) and PCR products containing T7 promoter sequences and the target regions (Table S2). Tissue culture cells were treated with 5–10 ug of dsRNA for 5 days with DOTAP Reagent (Roche). Irradiation experiments were conducted by exposing cells to 5 Gy of X-rays from a 130 kv Faxitron TRX5200 and incubating them for various recovery times at 25°C. All results are based from at least two biological replicates.
Images were collected using an Applied Precision Deltavision microscope and analyzed using SoftworX software. FRAP experiments were conducted using a 488 nm QLM laser (Applied Precision) at 1 micron bleach size and 100% intensity, and images acquired using adaptive settings. Pre-bleach signal was set to 100% and used to normalize recovery signals.

HMGB1 Gene Silencing in Bladder Cancer Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The sequence of small interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting HMGB1 was designed by an RNA interference activity-predicting algorithm and synthesized by Eurogentec (Seraing, Belgium). The sequences HMGB1 siRNAs are as follows: 5′-GATCCGCTGAAAAGAGCAAGAAAATTTCAAGAGAATTTTCTTGCTCTTTTCAGCTTTTTGGAAG-3′ (sense); 5′-AGCTCTTCCAAAAAGCTGAAAAGAGCAAGAAAATTCTCTTGAAATTTTCTTGCTCTTTTCAGCG-3′ (antisense). One scrambled siRNA (Scramble II; MWG Biotech) was used as a control. After seeding and adherence for 24 h, BIU-87 and T24 cells were transfected in serum-free OptiMEM with 200 nM of HMGB1 siRNA using DOTAP liposomal transfection reagent according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Roche, Mannheim, Germany). Following transfection (4 h, 37°C), cells were washed with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and incubated in serum-containing medium for 72 h. For further analyses, cells were harvested by trypsin treatment (0.05% trypsin/0.02% EDTA, 5 min, 37°C). Detached and adherent cells were pooled and analyzed together. The expression levels of HMGB1 in siRNA-treated cells were examined by Western blotting.

A cDNA encoding a membrane-bound form of HEL (mHEL) excised from pcDNA3-mHEL (a gift of Dr. R. Brink [19] (link)) was inserted into pMX-IRES-GFP [34] (link) to make pMX-mHEL-IRES-GFP. An shRNA sequence targeting the Fas 3′UT sequence, 5′-gtgttctctttgccagcaaat-3′, was inserted into pSIREN-RetroQ vector (Clontech), to make a retroviral vector pSIREN-RetroQ-shFas. An eGFP sequence in the pMX-IRES-GFP vector was replaced with a cDNA consisting of extracellular and transmembrane domains of human CD8 (hCD8) to make pMX-IRES-hCD8. A FasL cDNA was inserted into the pMX-IRES-hCD8 to make pMX-FasL-IRES-hCD8. The retroviral vectors were transfected into packaging cells, PLAT-E [34] (link), using FuGENE (Roche). On the next day, the supernatants were added to target cells in the presence of 10 μg/mL DOTAP Liposomal Transfection Reagent (Roche).

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.
