A detailed construction strategy is illustrated in Supplementary Fig. 1a.
A CLEB-B4 miniGene was synthesized by Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT) and inserted into pCLEB to produce the backbone vector pCLEB-B4. The CMV expression cassette was removed from pCEP4 to make pCEP4.2, and then an oriP-EBNA1 fragment was transferred from pCEP4.2 to pCLEB-B4 to generate pCLEB-EBV.
OCT3/4-P2A-SOX2-P2A-KLF4 was transferred from pPK33237 (link) to the shuttle vector pM7.5-EF1α to produce pM7.5E-OSK and, subsequently, the woodchuck hepatitis post-transcriptional regulatory element (WPRE) was inserted upstream of the polyadenylation signal to produce pM7.5E-OSKw.
Shp53 from pCXLE-hOCT3/4-shp53-F (Addgene: plasmid #27077) and hUL from pCXLE-hUL (Addgene: plasmid #27080) were transferred sequentially to the shuttle vector pM.3-CAG to produce pM7.3Cgh-shp53-hUL, which was combined with elements of pM7.5E-OSKw to result in pM7-R6.
The six reprogramming factors were then transferred from pM7-R6 to pCLEB-EBV to obtain pCLEB-R6.
A 17 kb stuffer DNA fragment was inserted into pCLEB-R6 to generate pCLAE-R6.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
BRAF1 dermal fibroblasts were obtained from an 18-year-old female with HCM. BRAF1 hiPSCs were generated using retroviral pMX-based vectors encoding human OCT3/4, SOX2, KLF4, and c-MYC as previously published (Carvajal-Vergara et al., 2010 (link)) with modifications. Retrovirus was added to fibroblasts 24 and 48 hr after plating. After day 4 the medium was changed every 2 days, and hESC-like colonies were isolated after 30 days. BRAF2 and BRAF3 dermal fibroblasts were obtained from a 13-year-old female with HCM and a 2-year-old male without evidence of HCM, respectively. BRAF2 and BRAF3 hiPSC lines were generated using episomal-based vectors as previously described (Okita et al., 2011 (link)), with modifications. One microgram of each plasmid pCXLE-hOCT3/4-shp53-F, pCXLE-hSK, pCXLE-hUL, and pCXLE-EGFP (Addgene) was mixed with Resuspension Buffer R (Life Technologies) and added to fibroblasts. Cells were electroporated using the Neon Transfection System (Life Technologies), re-plated, and placed at 37°C. After 5 days, fibroblasts were plated on MEFs and maintained in hiPSC medium. Clones were chosen based on morphology and growth. Pluripotency was verified by immunofluorescence, gene expression, southern blot, and teratoma formation or in vitro tri-lineage differentiation assays. Fully characterized retrovirally generated WT hiPSC lines were separately provided.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
pCXLE-hOCT3/4-shp53-F, pCXLE-hUL, pCXLE-hSK, pCXLE-hGLIS1, and pCXWB-EBNA1 were purchased from Addgene. pCXLE-hTET-1 was constructed. iMATRIX-511 was purchased from Nippi® (Tokyo, Japan). Fibroblasts (1.0 × 106) from each tissue sample were prepared, then gene transfection for iPS cell reprogramming was performed with the electroporation device Nucleofector 2b (Lonza Japan®, Tokyo, Japan) using the U-020 protocol, VPI-1002 transfection kit (Lonza Japan®), 1.2 µg each of pCXLE-hOCT3/4-shp53-F, pCXLE-hUL, pCXLE-hSK, pCXLE-hGLIS1, and pCXLE-hTET-1, and 1.0 µg of pCXWB-EBNA1. To reduce the possibility of the induction efficiency being decreased by the entry of a nick when using the stocked vectors, we irradiated the vectors before use. After electroporation, the cells were seeded on 100-mm dishes that had previously been coated with collagen and 0.125 µg/cm2 of iMATRIX-511. In protocol 1, after day 1 post-transfection, they were cultured in an incubator set at 37 °C with 5% O2. In protocol 2, from day 1 to day 5 post-transfection, the cells were cultured in an incubator set at 37 °C with 20% O2; after day 5 post-transfection, they were cultured in an incubator set at 37 °C with 5% O2.
