SUM149 and SUM190 cell lines were transfected using the Nucleofector II system (Lonza) with pSpCas9(BB)-2A-GFP (PX458), which was a gift from Feng Zhang (Addgene plasmid # 48138), containing the target sequence AGGAAGACTATGATCGACTG against RhoC. Two days after transfection, single cells were sorted for GFP expression into 96 well plates. Following clonal expansion, genomic DNA was isolated and clones were screened for RhoC mutations using SURVEYOR reactions (IDT) with the following primer pair: Forward-CTGTCTTTGCTTCATTCTCCCT and Reverse-CCAGAGCAGTCTTAGAAGCCAT. Positive clones were sequenced to identify specific mutational events and immunoblotted for RhoC and RhoA.

HUVEC and HDMEC Transfection Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HUVEC and HDMEC were routinely grown in EGM2-MV in 1.5% gelatin-coated culture dishes. For all studies, passage 1–5 cells were used. For transfection, cells grown to 80% confluence were trypsinized and pelleted, and 5 X 105 cells were resuspended in 100 μl electroporation master mix containing either 2 μg plasmids or 2 μM siRNA. This mixture was transferred to a cuvette for transfection using a Nucleofector II system (Lonza, Basel, Switzerland) with program A-034 (HUVEC) or M-003 (HDMEC). Warm EGM2-MV (500 μl) was added into the cuvette immediately after electroporation. Cells were later distributed evenly onto gelatin-coated 35-mm dishes for protein extraction, gelatin-coated MatTek 35-mm #1 glass bottom dishes for time-lapse microscopy, or 96W1E ECIS arrays (Applied Biophysics, Troy, NY) for determination of barrier function.

Cells were transfected with plasmids encoding MAT‐FLAG‐Rnd3, mCherry‐Rnd3, GFP‐Actin, GFP, or with no vector (mock transfection) using the Nucleofector II System (Lonza) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Briefly, HUVEC grown to 80% to 90% confluence in EGM‐2 were trypsinized, and washed with PBS. The number of cells was counted, the suspension was centrifuged at 100g for 10 minutes, and the pellet was resuspended in HUVEC Nucleofector solution (Lonza) at 5×106 cells/mL. Plasmid DNA (2 μg) was added to 100 μL of the cell suspension, and the mixture was transferred into a cuvette for nucleofection. Immediately after nucleofection, 500 μL of prewarmed EGM‐2MV was added to the cuvette, and after a 15‐minute incubation at 37°C, the cells were seeded into either 35‐mm culture dishes, electrode arrays, or Transwell plates for study. Medium was changed 4 to 6 hours posttransfection. Cells were used for study at 1 to 2 days posttransfection. Expression of fluorescent proteins was confirmed using a microscope with appropriate epifluorescent illumination. Expression of MAT‐FLAG‐Rnd3 was confirmed by Western blotting and immunofluorescence labeling.

The portion of the ap2xii-4 coding region corresponding to the coding sequence of the C-terminus of the AP2XII-4 protein was amplified using the primers pLIC XII-4 PacI F 5’-ttccaatccaatttaattaaCGAGACAGAAACGGAGACGTC-3’ and pLIC XII-4 PacI R 5’-ccacttccaattttaattaaGACATATCTCGGGCGCGGCCTG-3’ and cloned into the PacI site in pLIC_3HA_DHFR (from Dr. Vern Carruthers, [18 (link)]) using InFusion ligase-independent cloning (Takara). The plasmid was linearized with XcmI and transfected into RHΔku80Ahxgprt tachyzoites using Buffer P3 and program FI115 on the Lonza Nucleofector II system.

All cells were transfected with a Nucleofector II system from Lonza (Allendale, NJ) using the provided transfection protocol for SKOV3 cells as published previously [8 (link), 15 (link)]. SKOV3.ip cells were trypsinized and counted using a Countess automated cell counter (Life Technologies). 2 × 106 cells per transfection cuvette were transfected with either non-targeting siRNA (100 nM), siRNA targeting Gαi2 (100 nM), Gαi2QL (2 μg) or pcDNA3 vector (2 μg) as indicated. After transfection, the cells were plated on 60 mm plates and allowed to adhere overnight. The following day the media was changed and the cells were allowed to grow until the end of the day. The cells were then were re-plated at a density of 5 × 105 cells per 100 mm plate and allowed to adhere overnight. For stable transfection, SKOV3.ip cells transfected as previously described with shGαi2 or control, nonsense shRNA and selected for the expression of shGαi2 or the nonsense vector with puromycin [9 (link)].

The cells were then were replated at a density of 500,000 cells per 100 mm plate and allowed to adhere overnight. If the cells were not to be stimulated with LPA, the following day the cells were lysed. For transfected cells that were to be stimulated with LPA, they were serum-starved after they were counted and allowed to adhere overnight for 18 hours. After serum-starvation the cells were treated with 20 μM for the indicated time point and lysed. For stable transfection, SKOV3-ip were transfected as above with sh-Gαi2 or control, nonsense sh-RNA and selected for expression of sh-Gαi2 or the nonsense vector with puromycin as described previously [20 (link)].

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For small interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting of PPARγ expression in adipocytes, 3T3L1 cells were plated in 6-well plates at a density of 3×105cells/mL . After 1–2 d, when 90% confluence was achieved, cells were induced to differentiate for 8 d using the MDI differentiation protocol described above. Adipocyte differentiation was confirmed by fixing and staining with Oil Red O. Differentiated cells were trypsinized, washed with PBS, counted and transfected with siRNA duplexes by electroporation using the Nucleofector™ II system (Lonza). The siRNA utilized targeted murine PPARγ2 ( PPARγ-si-1 and PPARγ-si-2 ; Dharmacon ON-TARGETplus™ J-040712-05-0010 and J-040712-05-0010); or a control nontargeting siRNA duplex (Control si-RNA; Dharmacon D-001810-01-20). Each sample representing a single well was electroporated with 2nmol siRNA duplex/106 cells in a total volume of 100μL Nucleofection™ solution in disposable electroporation cuvettes. The samples were removed from the cuvettes using 500μL pre-warmed medium MEM with 10% FBS, and replated in 6-well plates in an additional 1.5mL prewarmed media. After 48 h, cells were then treated with ligands for 24 h, total RNA was harvested, and cDNA was prepared and used for quantitative gene expression analysis as described above.

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.
