Gene KD was performed similar to as we previously described (Velazco-Cruz et al., 2019 (link)). pLKO.1 TRC plasmids containing shRNA sequences targeting GFP (sh-ctrl) and human SIX2 (sh-SIX2–1 and sh-SIX2–2) were received from the RNAi Core at the Washington University. sh-ctrl, GCGCGATCACATGGTCCTGCT; sh-SIX2–1, CAACGAGAACTCCAATTCTAA; sh-SIX2–2, GAGCACCTTCACAA GAATGAA. Viral particles were generated using Lenti-X 293T cells (Takara; 632180) cultured in DMEM (MilliporeSigma; D6429) with 10% heat inactivated fetal bovine serum (MilliporeSigma; F4135). Confluent Lenti-X 293T cells were transfected with 6 μg of shRNA plasmid, 4.5 μg of psPAX2 (Addgene; 12260), and 1.5 μg pMD2.G (Addgene; 12259) packaging plasmids in 600 μL of Opti-MEM (Life Technologies;31985–070) and 48 μL of Polyethylenimine ‘Max’ MW 40,000 Da (Polysciences; 24765–2). 16 hours post transfection media was switched. Viral containing supernatant was collected at 96 hours post transfection and concentrated using Lenti-X concentrator (Takara; 631232). Collected lentivirus was tittered using Lenti-X qRT-PCR Titration Kit (Takara; 631235). Lentiviral transduction occurred on the first day of Stage 6 by seeding 5 million dispersed single cells were into a well of a 6-well plate with lentivirus particles MOI of 5, media was switched 16 hours post transduction. psPAX2 and pMD2.G were a gift from Didier Trono.

Lenti-X 293T cells (Clontech Laboratories no. 632180) cultured in DMEM + 10% FBS + 1× Pen/Strep were used to produce VSV-G pseudotyped lentivirus with a second-generation lentiviral system. Genes of interest were cloned into transfer plasmid pPKm-145 (Addgene no. 90505), which was cotransfected into Lenti-X-293T cells with envelope plasmid pCMV-VSV-G (Addgene no. 8454) and packaging plasmid pCMVΔR8.2 (Addgene no.12263) at a 2:1:1 molar ratio using the ProFection Mammalian Transfection System (Promega, Madison, WI no. E1200). Viral supernatant was collected and filtered (0.22 μm) 48 h after transfection and either used directly or concentrated 100× using PEG-it Virus Precipitation Solution (System Biosciences, Palo Alto, CA) before use. Excess virus was aliquoted and stored at −80 °C for future use.

On day 0, Lenti-X 293T cells (Takara Bio) were seeded to 1:6 from a 100 mm dish into a 150 mm dish. The following day, Lenti-X 293T cells were transfected with 27.18 μg of SARS-CoV-2 reporter, 23.76 μg of dR8.91 and 2.97 μg of pMD2.G (Addgene) in 4.5 mL of Opti-MEM reduced serum media (GIBCO) with 150 μL of Mirus TransIT-LT1 reagent. 30,000 Cas13d A549 or wild-type A549 cells were also seeded in 24-well plates. On day 2, A549 cells were transfected with pools of targeting crRNAs or a non-targeting guide (50 μL Opti-MEM reduced serum media, 0.5 μg crRNA pool, 1 μL Mirus LT1 per well). On day 3, lentiviruses were harvested from the supernatant with a sterile syringe and filtered through a 0.22-μm polyvinylidene fluoride filter and precipitated with lentivirus precipitation solution and resuspended in 7 mL DMEM media. The media on the cells was replaced with either fresh media for the compensation controls or 0.5 mL virus-containing media at the following dilutions for the experimental conditions: undiluted, 1/2 dilution, 1/3 dilution, and 1/4 dilution. On day 4, the media on all the cells was replaced with 0.5 mL fresh DMEM. On day 5, cells were measured by flow cytometry and assessed for GFP knockdown. Statistical analyses were done using a two-sided t test with unequal variance in Excel to calculate p values.

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.
